The loveliest hotel in Alexandria!
Pros:

Everything! What a beautiful hotel and fabulous staff! The rooms are so beautiful and spacious, beds the most comfortable ever, we had a view of the Mediterranean Sea. Breakfast was wonderful and the restaurant the same. The staff arranged transportation and great tours for us and everyone was so helpful when my husband needed to find some medication. Finally - the location couldn’t be better - walk out the door to walk the corniche or shop or site see or go to the most famous coffee houses. You made us fall in love with Alexandria!

Cons:

Nothing!

A must stay at when in Alexandria (even if for 2 nights)!
Pros:

The hotel has a breathtaking view. It is so historical and full of artistic pieces. The classical look gives it a touch of elegance. And the fact that rooms are named after popular figures; such as: the Greek poet Constantine Cafavy, gives it an elevated touch of depth and meaning.

Great hotel with excellent service
Pros:

One of the nicest hotels in Alexandria. I have stayed there a few times already. Great staff and great service.

Standard entsprach leider nicht dem Preis.
Pros:

Blick auf die Bucht vom Zimmer und vom Restaurant/ Dachterrasse. Man ahnt den Charme vergangener Zeiten. Bäder renoviert. Frühstück mit sehr großer Auswahl, herrlich draussen auf der Dachterrasse.

Cons:

Zimmer war nicht fertig und dann nicht sauber. Viel Personal aber wenig Service. Historisches Haus braucht mehr maintenance, housekeeping.
