This is by no means a luxurious hotel in the way that most people mean it, but it is nevertheless a very charming property that reflects the glorious past of Alexandria. It has a beautiful lobby (but small and can get crowded), an elevator that is a piece of art and for those who are obsessed with security, there is... More

I was for a conference in Alexandria for 3 nights. My room in the 5th floor in the side street was clean and nice. The main street as all streets in Alexandria was noisy - with ear plugs I slept perfectly. The hotel is a "Agatha Christie" hotel, very authentic, with original renovated elevator and great furniture. The staff was... More

We had stayed previously at the Four Seasons on visits to Alex which is farther outside of the city. This hotel is set beautifully on the Corniche with a great view and is very close to the main part of the city. The hotel itself has great history and has an older feel to it. The old Otis elevator is... More

This restored hotel was just perfect even though we had windy/rainy weather while in Alexandria. It was across the busy highway from the Mediterranean Sea and on a square. I loved to look out of my balcony and see the palms swaying and look at the sea. You could walk to a shopping street and take in the sights of... More

The location of this hotel is perfect, right on the corniche, and very close to the shopping area. It was a very interesting walk around the shopping area, and then back along the corniche. My room had a lovely view and was clean and comfortable. I did not experience any noise, and slept extremely well. The service was excellent, the... More
