Alexander the Great Hotel - Alexotel

i came from airport late and they rejected to check me in.and didn't give me money back.pure scam

I was placed in a so-called "suite" located several buildings away from the main hotel. The entrance and hallway leading up to it were old and poorly maintained, which made for an unwelcoming first impression. The accommodation itself seemed to be part of a converted flat—awkwardly laid out and extremely basic, with limited lighting and bathroom issues (poor drainage, leaking sink, and no toiletries provided).

The shower was equipped with a rainfall head, but the cabin was so small I could barely move comfortably. There was no housekeeping on the second day, which further added to the sense of neglect.

Overall, while my stay wasn’t entirely unpleasant, this space does not deserve to be called a "suite" and is certainly overpriced. A renovation is long overdue.

Review

I had a small, clean apartment with a panorama over the city. I had breakfast a few mornings and used the laundry service once. My room was a renovated one quite fresh and I would stay in it again. My room was in a different building from the hotel's registration and was reached around the block via a different street, a bit confusing. The rates are reasonable and I would gladly stay again there.

Elevator didn’t work at all. Area was poorly lit and filthy. Across from noisy school. Staff was sullen and a bit cold and unwelcoming.

Stayed in an economy single. Not much space, dated, but sufficiently clean, bed was comfortable, hot water worked well. I would put it on par with a private room at a hostel. Not much in the immediate area, but also not that far from a lot of stuff. There’s a little shop almost directly across the street for snacks and water, guy was fair, not trying to scam you (about 10 EGP for a 1.5L water). I walked from the train station, and then to all the major tourist sites.

I booked an economy room for $12 per night. You get what you pay for. Paint was peeling off the wall. The room was moist. The walls where dirty. The headboard was unclean. The shower has a fabric curtain which soaks with water when you shower. The floor is not particularly clean.

They have better rooms. Book that instead. I mistakenly booked an economy room and it was not hygienic.

I would stay there again. The staff was helpful in arranging drivers for me.

Toilet could be better

The staff were quick and friendly, the price was unbeatable.

Uncomfortable bed.ac dripping on electricity. Receptionists neglected our complaint. My room was in a separate bldg amongst factories and workers with no securely. Garden with statue in hotel ad belong to a church and not part of the hotel.

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel compared to the price is really good. The staff were helpful especially Mr. Mina. The location is central and close to Raml station. The one-bedroom apartment was spacious and clean, the only drawback was the electricity cut off in the whole area for 2 hours daily, so we had to wait until the electricity was back to go to the apartment which was on the 13th floor (apartments are in a separate building on 13th and 14th floors, while standard rooms are in the main building). However, the electricity problem should not be permenant and it is not the hotel's fault. Overall, our experience at Alexander the Great Hotel was very good and we will be happy to come again.

I hate to say it, but I really regret choosing this hotel. The room was very small. I thought it was a maid's room and felt miserable. The door of the room is also shabby compared to other rooms in this hotel.
Also Internet connection is poor in the room.
I don't think the room is good value for the cost and could have booked a better room in another hotel for the same price.
This was the worst hotel on my trip to Egypt.

The place is really nice, great location, very clean and the receptionist is very friendly

Very good location. Very friendly staff. Room was in an another building a short walk away but was big. A suite with 2 single and a double bed. Good bathroom with a good shower. They printed my boarding passess at reception for free. Great place.

We lived in a studio apartment with a kitchen and living room, 14th floor of a neighboring high-rise building, fantastic view of Alexandria, fast internet, comfortable beds, very clean and comfortable. The check-in went quickly, we were immediately taken to the apartment, everything was explained and shown.

There weren't utensils for cooking in the kitchen. During the check in we asked to bring plates, pan and etc and we were told that they going to bring it in the morning. But in the morning nothing was brought, we had to go down to the reception once again and remind about the kitchen utensils. Only after that they delivered the required.

In fact, due to the lack of kitchen utensils, it made no sense to rent a studio that costs more than a regular room. We were unable to cook dinner for the children and had to go to a restaurant instead, and in the morning again we were unable to cook breakfast for ourselves and the child.

When the cookware was finally delivered to us on the second day, it was just wonderful, but the first day disappointed us greatly.

The staff is friendly, and the facility is old, but the 3-bed room is good. The Internet is slow.

Very comfortable, relaxing place to stay.

Staff was friendly and always helpful. Location is great and provided easy access throughout the city.

Nice, quiet street walking distance to nice shopping area.
