The three corners is th name of a Hotel Chain - they have many hotels in Hurghada - which were you considering.

They have different standards since they "aquire" other hotels and re-brand.

Will you hire a car ??

Not recommended for first time but this would make a big difference to your options.

You can get a "daily taxi", which will be almost as good if you get agood driver each day.

Cheap & Chearful is easy and the Safir will give you that and a bit more with ease. The difference is location.

Other Good value hotels better located to get to know Hurghada are near the Big MacDonalds on Sheraton Street such as Regina Style, and the Minimark.

Look on Travel Republic web-site. Try to be within 10 km of the airport otherewise you could be along way of out town in the purely tourist area.

We where considering hiring a car, just so we could get to see other places such as el gouna.

Had a look at Regina Style but it's all inclusive!

If you are happy with driving in the husle of Hurghada then anywhere on the outskirts would be OK - try the Shedwan Golden Beach ??? - it's on the nothern outskirts of Town (not far from my plot !!!!).

El Gouna id very very different to Hurghada - I've stayed here three times - there are good value hotle there - one I've used was the Arean Inn - it's about a 20 min drive back to Hurghada so not too good for "looking around".

El Gouna is not quite as good as Shal Hasheesh will become, but still very "quaint", but like Sahl is VERY expensive.

what about an apartment then?

you could also try the aqua fun which is cheap and cheerful but right in the centre on the Sheraton Road

an apartment seems to be more expensive than booking a hotel B&B

I think HUrghada Temple in El Kawser is 200 EGP per night for a 2 bed apartment

lindsey we have stayed at the three corners triton beach resort and for the money its spot on food ok looking a little dated but spottless clean paid £87 ai in november booked april £97 so even if you eat out its still good value also in the old part of hurghada so will see plently of the culture read the reports on trip advisor
