The hotel was more than wonderful, starting from the warm welcome and smooth check-in process. The professionalism of the reception staff was outstanding, as was the excellent service in the restaurant and the great variety of food offered in the buffet. The housekeeping team and the generous hospitality of Madam Samia made the stay even more special.
The hotel’s location in downtown Alexandria, directly on the seaside, is truly exceptional. Watching both the sunrise and sunset with a full panoramic view of the Eastern Harbor was breathtaking — from El Silsila and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in the east all the way to the Citadel in the west. The deep blue color of the sea and the shimmering silver reflections of the sunlight on the water created an unforgettable scene.
Being located in Ramleh Station, a major transportation hub, the hotel is surrounded by countless restaurants, entertainment venues, and cinemas. The historical charm of the area and Saad Zaghloul Square add even more character to the experience.
The hotel’s classic architectural design carries the elegance and history of the early twentieth century, with magnificent wood craftsmanship throughout the property. Many important historical figures stayed at this hotel, including Sir Winston Churchill and the world-famous boxer Muhammad Ali. I was fortunate enough to stay in the spacious Taha Hussein Room, which had a magnificent view.
This is truly one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in across
This historical hotel in a central position, the staff in all departments are excellent, the hotel serves excellent breakfast by very helpful staff
The receptionists are courteous and very helpful
It is easy to discover Alexandria from this hotel. You can walk to the beach, the Opera, the poet Kafafis house and to the best restaurants.
It is also noth far fro the famous Alexandria Library.
It’s a great location! You can walk anywhere and you have lots of options for restaurants. The staff were so nice and friendly! Spatially our house keeping lady Samia.
Staying here during research on the 61st Highland Anti-Tank Regiment ww2. The building is of particular historical interest to our group being HQ for General Bernard Montgomery during the 1942 Egyptian Campaign. Thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay
From friendly staff, great access to most sites by walking, an amazing view my stay was excellent. I wanted to stay longer. But definitely coming back to Alexandria if I can stay in this hotel. I also loved the amazing Greek-Roman museum nearby
Customer service at this hotel is exemplary. The people at the front desk, and those helping with bags are professional, helpful, courteous, and kind. Breakfast is outstanding!
