Top Budget Hotel Recommendations
1. White Beach Hotel
€35-45/night
Area: El Dahar |
Rating: ⭐ 8.2/10
Don't let the "budget" label fool you—White Beach Hotel punches well above its weight class. During
my last visit, the room was immaculate, the breakfast buffet surprisingly varied, and the rooftop
terrace offered stunning views. The owner, Ahmed, goes out of his way to help guests arrange
everything from diving trips to desert safaris.
Why I Recommend It:
- Exceptionally clean rooms with daily housekeeping
- Generous breakfast with Egyptian and continental options
- 5-minute walk to El Dahar's best restaurants
- Helpful staff who speak English and German
💡 Pro Tip: Request
a room on the upper floors for less street noise and better views.
2. Sea View Hotel Hurghada
€40-50/night
Area: Sheraton Road |
Rating: ⭐ 8.5/10
The name doesn't lie—most rooms genuinely have sea views, which is rare at this price point.
Located on Sheraton Road, it's perfectly positioned between the old town charm and the resort
area buzz. The small pool is a bonus for those post-diving relaxation sessions.
Best Features:
- Sea view rooms at budget prices
- Small but refreshing swimming pool
- Walking distance to Hurghada Marina
- Reliable Wi-Fi throughout the property
3. Triton Empire Hotel
€30-40/night
Area: El Dahar |
Rating: ⭐ 7.8/10
For true backpacker-style travel without the hostel dorm vibe, Triton Empire is a gem.
Simple, clean, and remarkably affordable. The location in the heart of El Dahar means
you're steps away from local markets, authentic restaurants, and the real Egyptian experience.
Why Budget Travelers Love It:
- Best prices in Hurghada for private rooms
- Air conditioning in all rooms
- Heart of local neighborhood—authentic experience
- Walking distance to main bazaar
💡 Know Before:
This is a basic hotel—perfect for those who spend most time diving and exploring.
4. Regina Swiss Inn Resort
€45-55/night
Area: Resort Zone |
Rating: ⭐ 8.4/10
Technically at the upper end of "budget," but including it because you get resort-style
amenities at budget prices. Private beach access, multiple pools, and half-board options
make it exceptional value. It's where I send friends who want the resort experience
without the resort price tag.
Resort Features at Budget Prices:
- Private beach with free loungers
- Multiple swimming pools
- Half-board options available (great value)
- On-site diving center
5. Sand Beach Hotel
€35-45/night
Area: Sheraton Road |
Rating: ⭐ 7.9/10
A favorite among solo travelers and diving enthusiasts. The hotel has partnered with
several dive centers, often offering discounted packages. Rooms are basic but clean,
and the atmosphere is social—you'll likely meet fellow travelers at the small bar.
Diver-Friendly Features:
- Dive center partnerships with discounts
- Equipment rinse and storage area
- Social atmosphere for solo travelers
- Late checkout available for early flights
6. Ali Baba Palace
€40-50/night
Area: Resort Zone |
Rating: ⭐ 8.0/10
Don't be deceived by the "palace" name and modest prices—this older property has
maintained its charm. The gardens are beautiful, the pools are large, and the
all-inclusive option represents genuine value. Popular with European tour groups.
Value Highlights:
- All-inclusive option from €60/night
- Large swimming pool with sunbathing area
- Beautiful garden grounds
- Animation team for evening entertainment
