Redcon Suites

We stayed in the Redcon Suites while we were in Hurghada. A bit of a change for us as we had our own little apartment in a 4 storey building. We usually enjoy staying in hostels as we can interact with people, both travellers and locals, but sometimes we enjoy just being on our own. After 3 weeks of travel, this place was our little break from people. It was somewhat noisy at night though when the bar got into its New Years Eve weekend party mode!

The apartment had everything that we needed including a small kitchen. A little market was close by so we were able to get some food to cook but as mentioned in another footprint, there was a great restaurant next door that we went to a couple of times.

We could go across the street to a small private beach and there was a rooftop terrace on our building. Everything was clean and comfortable but as in many places we have stayed in, the internet reception was intermittent. The only English TV channel that we could get was the world news on Al Jezeera. That was fine for us.

The men at the front desk were pleasant and gave us some good advice about what to see. We were even able to get our laundry done there for $3.00 Cdn.Read more
