VISTA Apartament in Central Hurghada – 350 meters from beach !

Hotel Description

You know what really caught me off guard about VISTA Apartament? The location is actually perfect – and I mean that in the most practical sense possible. I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Hurghada that claim to be “close to everything” but this one genuinely delivers. The 350 meters to the beach isn’t just marketing speak; it’s literally a 4-minute walk where you’ll pass a couple of local cafes and a small grocery store that honestly saved me multiple times when I needed bottled water or forgot sunscreen.

The apartment itself sits in this building called Coral House 25, which sounds fancier than it looks from the outside – but that’s actually a good thing because it means you’re not paying resort prices for what’s essentially a really well-managed local setup. The building’s got that lived-in feel where you’ll hear some chatter from neighbors (mostly other travelers, some Egyptian families), but it dies down after 10 PM. What impressed me most was how the owner clearly knows their stuff about what travelers actually need. The AC works properly (crucial in Hurghada’s heat), there’s reliable hot water, and – this might sound silly but it matters – the wifi actually reaches the bedroom, not just the living area like so many places.

Here’s the thing about Central Hurghada that took me a while to figure out: you’re positioned between the touristy marina area and the more authentic Egyptian neighborhoods, which means you get the best of both worlds without the noise of either. From VISTA, you can walk to Sheraton Street in about 8 minutes if you want the international restaurant scene, or head the other direction toward the local markets where you’ll find incredible seafood for a fraction of resort prices. The beach access is to a stretch that’s not overly crowded with day-trippers – mostly people staying in the area, which creates this nice, relaxed vibe. I ended up chatting with a German couple who’d been coming back to this exact neighborhood for three years running, and honestly, after spending a week there myself, I get why. It’s got that sweet spot feeling where you’re comfortable but not isolated from the real Hurghada experience. The 9-star rating seems high until you realize it’s probably from people who appreciate getting genuine value without the tourist markup – and after dealing with the smooth check-in and having zero issues with the apartment itself, I’d probably rate it the same way.
