Mahmoud Saady takes a lot of time and care with the room cleaning!👍🏼 He does an excellent job and even creates beautiful towel art. All the staff are friendly and helpful thank you 🙏💐

If you’re thinking this is a 4-star hotel—think again. This dump couldn’t even make it to 1 star if the stars were given out for “creative ways to scam tourists.” I checked in for a week, and guess what? My room wasn’t even ready. They were still “cleaning” it. And by cleaning, I mean spreading the dirt around. Sheets and towels? Nasty. Like, “used gym rag” nasty. Freshly washed? Yeah right. I wouldn’t even wipe my shoes with them. When I finally got into the room—surprise—no towels, no shampoo, no nothing. I asked for towels and got ONE. For two people. When I asked for another, they literally came into the room to make sure I wasn’t lying. Apparently, at this “luxury” 4-star place, you’re not allowed more than two towels per room. What a policy—nothing screams “holiday relaxation” like being treated like a thief for asking for basic hygiene. And the AC? Absolute joke. It doesn’t blow cold air—it just pushes around hot air like a broken hair dryer. Imagine trying to sleep in an oven with a fan on. That’s the “comfort” you’re paying for. Oh, and those lovely hotel pictures with the beach bar? Scam. The “included” bar is far away, while the pretty one in the photos is not included in all-inclusive. But don’t worry—they’ll happily overcharge you more than any shop outside the hotel. Tourist trap 101. Now here’s where it gets disgusting: right next to the hotel there’s a shop owner who actually has a heart. He rescues street dogs, lets them sleep under AC, feeds them, cares for them. Around 12 dogs, all harmless, gentle, and sweet. I spent a week with them, not a single problem. But instead of supporting this kindness, the hotel is actively trying to kick the dogs out so the government can kill them. Yes—you read that right. A hotel going out of its way to make sure dogs die, just to look “clean” in front of tourists. Four stars? More like four red flags. Food? Garbage. Tastes like they cooked it once in 2005 and just keep reheating it. Drinks? Beer served in a tiny 0.15L plastic cup. If you want a full bottle, you have to pay extra—because apparently, plastic cups = all-inclusive, bottles = robbery. Makes zero sense, but hey, scamming guests seems to be the only thing they’re professional at. Bottom line: don’t waste your money here. It’s dirty, it’s nasty, the food is trash, the drinks are a joke, the AC doesn’t even work, and the hotel staff care more about scamming you than giving you a holiday. Spend your money anywhere else. Trust me, this place is where vacations go to die.

I have stayed at this hotel twice. The first time was in the summer of 2019 and the second time is right now. I am waiting for transportation to take us to the airport. In these six years, absolutely nothing has changed in the hotel, except for the staff working there. The food is slightly better, but they still serve drinks in plastic 0.15l cups to guests who pay for all-inclusive service, which I find unacceptable. The beds in the rooms have not been replaced, so they are quite worn out and uncomfortable. The central air conditioning does not cool at all, it only blows out warm air. The pictures on the walls are not hung straight, and some are even crooked. As for the beach that the hotel has, I feel like I was here last year. It is very evident that no investment is being made in it; they only maintain it. The sun loungers and canopies are outdated and need to be replaced. When I sum up the overall impression, it is clear to me why only one agency in Serbia holds this hotel and why many have given up. For the service and quality they offer, the price should be half as low. I will come back to Hurghada, but this hotel will not see me again. Although maybe someone will read my review and think a little and dedicate themselves to renovating or at least tidying up and investing more.

Thanks a lot for cleaning service to Mahmoud Saady. We lived at the 2-d floor, room 3207. He is very kind and friendly. He works very quickly and our room was always clean. Every day he did beautiful towel's animals 😁

Very disappointing – we left after one night We moved to another hotel on the second day because our experience at Hotel Elysees was so bad. Here’s why: Room: Dark, poorly cleaned, no balcony, terrible view. We paid €20 for a room change, but the new one was just as bad. Restaurant: Only one open, in the basement, no daylight, no atmosphere, poor food selection. The terrace restaurant was closed. Staff: Unhelpful, weak English, extra charges for everything. Beach: Small, shared with the public, few sunbeds. Access locked after 7 PM. Surroundings felt unsafe – stray dogs, nothing nearby, far from the center. Entertainment: None. No activities, no music, no atmosphere. Pool area was tiny and lifeless. Drinks: Only basic drinks served in tiny plastic cups. No snacks, no cocktails – not real all inclusive. Water: No refill stations. Water only available from the bar in a small cup. No bottled water in the room after the first day. Cleanliness: After one night, we had many insect bites. Poor hygiene suspected. Facilities: Gym not included, charged separately. No indoor pool. Overall: The hotel felt depressing and closed-off. It does not match its advertised description or standard. We definitely do not recommend this hotel.
