How to get a free room upgrade at check-in in Egyptian hotels?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago

TL;DR

At check-in, try being friendly and give the receptionist a small gift — chocolate and about $10 tucked into your passport often helps get a better room, if any are available.

What the community said

Room type isn't strictly tied to your package (even ultra all-inclusive) — it depends on what's actually free at the moment. Smile at reception, hand over your passport with a small chocolate gift, and slip about $10 inside — this trick often works if better rooms are available.

Don't stress about room assignment in advance — it's sorted out on-site depending on availability. Handy tip: bring a small box of chocolates from home to give the receptionist.
