I recently stayed at Titanic Beach in Hurghada, and it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I made a booking for a double room, but upon arrival, their system only showed one person. No big deal, I thought – I’ll pay a little extra to sort it out. However, they had the audacity to demand an additional $600 on top of my original $300 reservation!
After much back-and-forth, I spoke with Ahmad, who was polite but completely ineffective. He eventually agreed that I could pay $280 before check-in and settle the rest later during my stay. Reluctantly, I agreed. But just two days later, when I went to pay the balance, they demanded even more money.
When I refused to pay immediately and said I’d return later, they locked us out of our room despite the fact that our reservation was still active. I had to go back to the reception desk, where I was met with a rude and dismissive woman who finally agreed that I could pay another $280 just to keep the reservation I’d already paid for! There was absolutely zero understanding or support from the reception staff, who repeatedly passed the blame to someone else.
On top of all this chaos, the food was terrible – bland, repetitive, and far below the standard I’ve experienced at other Hurghada hotels.
There are so many better options in Hurghada. I would never return to Titanic Beach and strongly advise others to steer clear as well. An absolute nightmare from start to finish.
