G Hotel El Alamein: Your Egyptian Paradise Awaits!
El Alamein: G Hotel or… Gah-Hotel? (My Honest Review, Rant & Rave Edition)
Okay, folks, let's talk about the G Hotel El Alamein. They call it "Your Egyptian Paradise Awaits!"… and I’m here to tell you if it's more of a paradise or a… well, let’s find out. This is going to be a real review, the kind where I spill the (Egyptian) tea, imperfections and all. Buckle up, because we're diving deep.
Accessibility: Let's Roll With It (Hopefully!)
First things first: Accessibility. Seems they've tried. Listed as having facilities for disabled guests, but frankly, I didn't see enough details to pronounce a definitive yay or nay. They have an elevator, which is a HUGE plus. But more concrete information like ramp access to the restaurants and lounges, and specifically wheelchair accessible routes, is crucial. They need to shout about this stuff if they're serious. More concrete planning is needed and I would call them.
Internet: Finally! (Maybe… or Probably Not)
Alright, let’s get real. Wi-Fi is LIFE, especially when you're trying to escape. Good news: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" And Wi-Fi in public areas. Praise be! And they've ticked off: Internet access, Internet [LAN], Internet services. Sounds promising, right? But, you know how it is. Sometimes “Free Wi-Fi” means “glacial speed Wi-Fi.” I’ll get back to you on the actual speed once I’ve, you know, experienced it. My guess? It will be a work in progress
Things to Do! (And Relax!)… Or Will I Just Be Bored?
Okay, so this is where the G Hotel could shine. They've got EVERYTHING. Pools, saunas, spas galore, a fitness center, massage… the whole shebang. They even mention a pool with a view. My inner hedonist is doing a tiny happy dance. Especially after a long, hot day of exploring the battlefields (…or, you know, just lounging by the pool). I could totally picture myself getting a body scrub and then a body wrap. Heaven.
Now, the all-important question: will I actually use all this stuff? I’m a sucker for a steamroom. And is the gym/fitness center actually any good? Will the equipment be modern, or will it be like stepping back into the 80s? We'll see. I will update my review, because, honestly, the key to a good vacation is BALANCE.
Cleanliness and Safety: COVID Times, Baby!
This is a HUGE deal, and thankfully, they seem to be taking it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer, hygiene certification, individually-wrapped food options, physical distancing of at least 1 meter, professional-grade sanitizing services, rooms sanitized between stays, safe dining setup, sanitized kitchen and tableware items, staff trained in safety protocol… Phew! That’s a lot of boxes ticked. They even offer a room sanitization opt-out available. That's thoughtful. Doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit are reassuring. I'm hoping to not need any first aid, but nice to know it’s there.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Fun… Or the Frustration?
This is where things get interesting. The G Hotel claims to have it all. Restaurants, a bar, a coffee shop, a poolside bar, a snack bar. They're talking a la carte, buffet, Asian cuisine, International cuisine, Vegetarian restaurant, and even Western cuisine. That’s a lot of choices!
Breakfast [buffet] and breakfast takeaway service are listed, as is breakfast in room. Winning! I LOVE a good buffet. I'll be checking for fresh juices and strong coffee.
But here's the real test: the quality. Will the food be amazing, or will it be the kind of buffet where everything tastes vaguely… the same? The desserts in restaurant better be epic. I need a sugar rush after a long day of… well, existing. This is a make-or-break category, so I’ll keep you updated.
Services and Conveniences: Is It Worth the Hype?
Air conditioning in public area, business facilities, a concierge, currency exchange, daily housekeeping, doorman, dry cleaning, elevator, facilities for disabled guests, gift/souvenir shop, luggage storage, meeting/banquet facilities… Sounds like they're trying to make life easy. I really appreciate a good concierge, someone to navigate the local chaos. Cash withdrawal access could be crucial. Food delivery is always a plus. Extra points if the dry cleaning is speedy.
For the Kids: Are the Little Ones Welcome?
Babysitting service, family/child friendly, kids facilities, kids meal… sounds like they're trying to cater to families. That's good news. I’m not a parent, but I respect a hotel that makes it easy for everyone.
Rooms: The Crucial Verdict
Alright, let’s talk about the actual rooms. Air conditioning (thank goodness!). Free Wi-Fi, alarm clock, bathrobes, complimentary tea, coffee/tea maker, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, in-room safe box, internet access, non-smoking, private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens… They seem to offer all the essentials.
I'm especially keen on the blackout curtains. Sleep is precious on vacation. Interconnecting room(s) available is a great option for families and friendship groups.
The Emotional Rollercoaster: My Personal Take
So, yeah, the G Hotel El Alamein has potential. A lot of potential. But it's the details, the experience, that will truly matter. Will it be a paradise? A slightly disappointing holiday? Or a total disaster? I’m heading there with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism. I'll update this review with the REAL scoop, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
My Biggest Wish? That they don't try to be everything to everyone and get lost in the process. I want a hotel that understands the spirit of a getaway.
The Final Verdict… is Pending
I'll tell you what: I’m booking, and I’m hoping for the best.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to the G Hotel El Alamein in Egypt, and honey, it's going to be a VIBE. Prepare for sand in places you didn't even know you had places. Let's get this chaotic ball rolling…
Day 1: The Arrival (and Internal Panic)
- Morning (Pre-Dawn, Actually): Airport. Ugh, the airport. Always a joy, right? This time, Cairo International. The flight was fine, or at least as "fine" as a cramped coach seat can be. Currently fighting the urge to immediately go back to bed. Did I pack enough sunscreen? No. Never do. Probably should have gotten that extra bag to hold all the "just in case" items.
- Anecdote: Remember that time I tried to be "prepared" and packed a whole pharmacy worth of malaria medication? Turns out, El Alamein is practically malaria-free. Cue me, sweating my way through customs, looking like I'm smuggling enough pharmaceuticals to sedate a small elephant. Note to self: Travel lighter. Always.
- Mid-Morning: The Drive. Okay, so the hotel arranged a car. Thank God. Navigating Cairo traffic after a red-eye is NOT on my bucket list. Seriously, the roads? Let's just say they're more "suggestions" than "rules." The driver, bless his heart, was weaving in and out of traffic like he was in a video game. I may have spent the entire drive clutching the oh-shit handle and muttering prayers to the gods of safe passage.
- Quirky Observation: I swear, I saw a donkey cart carrying a refrigerator. A. FRIGGIN'. REFRIGERATOR. Only in Egypt, folks. Only in Egypt.
- Afternoon (Check-In Chaos): Arriving at the G Hotel! It's… bigger than I expected. Beautiful. Check-in? Well, the process was a little… leisurely. Turns out, the room wasn't quite ready. "Five minutes," the charming clerk kept saying. "Ten minutes." "Fifteen… with mint tea?" (Which, to be fair, was delicious. I’m a sucker for free things.)
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, the room is AMAZING now. Ocean view, balcony, the whole shebang. Suddenly, all the airport chaos and traffic trauma melted away. This is what I came for! And, I have to admit, the mint tea was a winning strategy. Good one, hotel staff. Good one.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Stroll and dinner. Exploring the hotel grounds felt like wandering through a desert oasis. The pool area? Instagram gold. Dinner was at the Beach Restaurant. Seafood, of course. I splurged on the grilled snapper (which was utterly divine).
- Impression: The fish was amazing, probably the best fish I have had in my life… I ordered as much as I could. I'm pretty sure I moaned with pleasure with every bite. (Also, the sunset over the Mediterranean? Sigh. Absolutely breathtaking.)
Day 2: Beach Day (and Sand Everything)
- Morning: Beach Time. The water? Crystal clear. The sand? Everywhere. And I mean everywhere. In my hair, in my swimsuit, in places I didn't even know sand could get.
- Anecdote: Tried to be "chic" and wear a wide-brimmed hat. Got absolutely dumped by a rogue wave. Hat? Gone. Dignity? Questionable. Ended up looking like a drowned rat, laughing my head off while trying to rescue it.
- Mid-Morning: Lounging, sunbathing, and a near-disaster incident involving a rogue beach umbrella. Thank goodness for the beach staff who are super chill in general.
- Afternoon: More beach. This time, I hired a sunbed and spent the rest of the afternoon reading and enjoying the endless blue view.
- Quirky Observation: People-watching on the beach is a national sport. I observed a couple attempting to build a sandcastle that looked like a rapidly melting ice sculpture. Another individual was sporting a Speedo so small, it defied the laws of physics. And the kids… the kids were just joyfully covered in sand from head to toe, squealing with pure, unadulterated glee.
- Evening: Dinner at the Italian restaurant. Yes, I'm in Egypt, and I'm eating Italian. Don't judge me. The pizza was actually surprisingly good (though, let's be honest, you can never go wrong with pizza). Later, drinks on the balcony, watching the stars.
- Emotional Reaction: The feeling of absolute relaxation. The cool night breeze on my face. The sound of the waves. For the first time in a long time, I felt truly, completely… peaceful. (Which, knowing me, probably won't last long.)
Day 3: Culture and Camels (and a Whole Lot of Sun)
- Morning A camel ride. I'm not sure what I was expecting -- a fluffy unicorn maybe? -- but the camel was… well, a camel. It was a bumpy ride. Worth it for the photos though. They will be iconic.
- Opinionated Language: Okay, the camel ride was not the most enjoyable thing in the world.. I still consider it a worthwhile activity, though.
- Mid-day The El Alamein War Cemetery. This was sobering but important. A place of remembrance and grief. So many lives lost. So much history.
- Emotional Reaction I don't even know how to describe the emotional state I was in, there were so many graves… It feels heavy.
- Mid-afternoon Back to the beach, because honestly, you have to. Just because I needed the time to decompress.
- Evening Dinner again, with the family. A little bit sad to leave the hotel, and the beach. Still, very ready to move on.
Day 4: Departure (or, the Reality Check)
Morning: Packing, paying the bill (which, surprisingly, wasn't as terrifying as I'd anticipated), and that last, lingering look at the ocean.
- Anecdote: The taxi back to Cairo was thankfully uneventful (no refrigerator-carrying donkeys this time!). I just hoped I hadn't left any sand behind.
Afternoon: The airport. Again. Fighting the urge to stay.
Evening: Back on the plane…
Stream-of-Consciousness Rambling: Okay, so El Alamein. The G Hotel. The beach. The sand. The fish. The sunset. The mint tea. It wasn't perfect. There were definitely some bumps along the way. But, you know what? It was PERFECTLY human. And that, my friends, is what makes travel truly unforgettable. This is something I'll remember for the rest of my life.
And that, my friends, is my chaotic, imperfect, and utterly real account of my time at the G Hotel El Alamein. Go forth and create your own messy adventures! Just bring the sunscreen. Seriously. You'll need it.
