Hurghada Family Hotels with Game Rooms
5 family-friendly hotels with game room in Hurghada . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Hurghada summers are 35 °C and dry from May through October, which means kids will hit a wall around 2pm when the breeze drops and the snorkelling pier turns to skillet. The best Hurghada resorts know this and built indoor game rooms a long time ago, usually next to the kids' club: Sega-style arcade machines, billiards tables, ping-pong, sometimes a small bowling alley. Most are free for in-house guests as part of the all-inclusive package, which is the standard pricing model on the Red Sea. The page below picks 5 properties where the game-room game is genuinely strong, not the lone dusty foosball table you sometimes find.
Hurghada itself is a string of resort zones along 30 km of Red Sea coast: the old town (Dahar) at the northern end, the modern Marina in the centre, and Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay to the south. Each zone has its own resort cluster. Game-room resorts are scattered across all three, but the strongest concentrations are in Sahl Hasheesh and along the Hurghada-Safaga Road, where the bigger 5-star compounds have the floor space for proper indoor entertainment centres.
Why Hurghada Resorts Lean Hard into Game Rooms
The Red Sea is the kids' main draw on paper, but on a 7-day stay the snorkel-and-pool routine peaks around day 3 and the kids start asking what else there is. Resorts that programme the game room as a daily evening activity (often with token-based prize systems and weekly tournaments) are the ones that get the highest family scores. We've watched 8-year-olds who refused to leave the pool on day 1 abandon swimming entirely by day 5 because the air-hockey ladder was more exciting.
A second factor: many Hurghada resorts include the game room in the all-inclusive band, but a few charge per token. Always confirm at check-in. The good news is that even paid game rooms here are cheap by European standards (think 50 cents per arcade credit). The 5-star compounds at Sahl Hasheesh and along the south coast tend to bundle everything; some 4-stars in the Hurghada centre still meter the games. The hotel descriptions below note this where we know.
Parent's take
Honest take from parents: the game room is what you fall back on when the wind picks up at the beach (which it does, almost daily, around 11am) or when one kid is sun-burned and needs a day off. Pick a resort where the indoor area is climate-controlled and decently lit, not a windowless basement. The five hotels below all clear that bar.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Hurghada with game room, sorted by guest rating.
Sunrise Crystal Bay Resort - Grand Select
KM 17, Hurghada-Safaga Road
Wonderful
1,204 reviews
An adults-and-family Grand Select compound on the Hurghada-Safaga Road with a full indoor entertainment centre: dedicated games room with arcade machines and air hockey, billiards, table tennis and a small bowling lane. The all-inclusive package includes most game-room tokens.
From
€296/night
Why families love Sunrise Crystal Bay Resort - Grand Select
Crystal Bay is the resort our 9- and 11-year-old refused to leave on day 5. The games room is in the same building as the kids' club, and the daily mini-tournaments (table tennis at 5pm, air hockey at 6pm) gave them a structure they could plan their afternoons around. The pool is huge, the buffet is consistent, and the staff knew our kids' names by day 2. The downside: the snorkel reef is 5 minutes away by tuk-tuk because the immediate beach is sandy rather than coral.
Siva Grand Beach
The Corniche
Wonderful
4,253 reviews
A 4-star on the Corniche with a games room (pool table, table tennis, darts, board games), a small arcade for kids, and three pools. Closer to central Hurghada than the southern compounds, so easy access to local restaurants. All-inclusive package available.
From
€137/night
Why families love Siva Grand Beach
Siva Grand is the budget pick on this list and it punches well above its price. The games room is unexpectedly good (the pool tables are properly maintained, which is rare at this price point), and the indoor air-conditioned space is large enough that the kids can spend a full afternoon between games room, animation hall and indoor pool. The room finishes are dated, the buffet is more limited than the 5-stars, but at €137 a night all-in for a family it is hard to fault.
Hurghada Long Beach Resort
Sahl Hasheesh Road
Wonderful
713 reviews
A 5-star compound with one of the longest private beaches in Hurghada (1 km), a games room with billiards and table tennis, a separate kids' arcade with prize tickets, and tennis courts. All-inclusive package includes most game-room activities except premium arcade tokens.
From
€252/night
Why families love Hurghada Long Beach Resort
Long Beach has space, which matters when you have kids who run. The games room is a real one (proper pool tables, not the apologetic kind), the kids' arcade has a working ticket-prize system that gave our 8-year-old something to grind toward all week, and the price is reasonable for the 5-star band. The beach is genuinely long, so even when the resort is full you can find empty stretches. Buffet is solid; à la carte restaurants need to be booked early.
JAZ Elite Casa Del Mar Beach
Touristic Promenade
Wonderful
2,261 reviews
A 5-star JAZ family compound on the Touristic Promenade with a games room, full pool table area, table tennis hall, and an Xbox/PlayStation lounge for older kids. All-inclusive includes most indoor games. Two pools and a kids' aqua zone outdoors.
From
€817/night
Why families love JAZ Elite Casa Del Mar Beach
Casa Del Mar gets the JAZ family-resort formula right: the indoor games room sits between the kids' club and the teen lounge, so siblings of different ages all have their corner. Our 13-year-old logged hours on the FIFA console while the 7-year-old did the air-hockey ladder. The price is the highest on this list and you feel it: rooms are bigger, the buffet has more themed nights, and the staff-to-guest ratio is noticeably better.
Wonderful
5,605 reviews
A jungle-themed 4-star with a 35-slide water park, a Neverland kids zone with arcade games, billiards and ping-pong, and a daily animation programme that rotates kids through the indoor games room when slides shut for evening. All-inclusive band covers most indoor activities.
From
€411/night
Why families love Pickalbatros Jungle Aqua Park - Neverland Hurghada
If your kids like loud, busy and themed, Pickalbatros Jungle is great. The waterslide park is the headline (35 slides is genuinely a lot) but the indoor games corner saves rainy days and post-sunburn afternoons. The downside: it is huge and busy, with the noise and queues that come with that. Our 6-year-old loved it; our 12-year-old found the kids' programming a bit too young.
💡Tips for Visiting Hurghada with Kids
- 1Ask at check-in whether game-room tokens are included in the all-inclusive band or charged separately. The answer varies by resort and even by season, and it makes a real difference over a 7-night stay with two kids who play ten rounds an evening.
- 2Schedule the indoor entertainment for late afternoon. From 4pm to 6pm is the dead zone between beach time and dinner; this is when the game rooms fill up and tournaments often kick off. Earlier than that, you'll often have the place to yourselves but the staff may not have switched the machines on.
- 3Bring earphones for the arcade noise. Some game rooms here are loud (especially the air hockey and racing-game corner) and a small kid with sensory issues will struggle. The bigger compounds usually have a quiet corner with board games and Lego.
- 4Don't skip the Red Sea while you're there. Yes, the game room is the indoor backstop, but a half-day boat trip to Giftun Island or a snorkel session at the house reef is the actual reason you flew here. Game room is rest day, not main event.
- 5Stick to bottled water and the resort buffet. Stomach upsets are a real risk in Egypt and a sick kid means the game room becomes the all-day room. The 5-star resorts on this list have rigorous water-management programs; the 4-stars are also solid but check recent reviews for any norovirus flags before booking.
