Alexander The Great Hotel

Whilst our accomodation was a short walk from main building, 13 floors up in a (residential) block of flats, we couldn't have asked for better. Extremely roomy apartment for the two of us, with a small kitchenette that more than met our needs. A short walk for breakfast in the morning (main building) which was buffet style with plenty of choice. Central location meant, along with a couple of very inexpensive Uber rides, we were able to walk to most of the 'sites'.Whilst doing so we thoroughly enjoyed all the local 'experiences'! Staff we met were friendly and heldful and we would not think twice about recommending, and returning to. Extremely good value for cost.

Without a doubt one of the best places to stay in the historical center of Alexandria. It is a former Greek quarter among monumental churches and luxurious colonial buildings. At the same time it is very quiet and peaceful compared to the noise and chaos of a huge metropolis. We had a large 2-room apartment with 3 balconies, a kitchen and a huge living room. Also a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. The beds are good with comfortable mattresses and clean linen. The Internet was fast during the day, but the speed dropped significantly in the evening, when (probably) other guests were watching movies. Supermarkets, restaurants and a market are a couple of minutes' walk away.

The apartment we stayed was very big and very clean.It has kitchen facilities.But there was not a gas bottle for the 'nun.We only used cattle to make coffe or tea.TV.we couldnt manage to get it work but good size .Location is good but right next to school and people play futbol very late night and makes a lot of noise.But we love the feeling of apartment.

Upgraded from my single room to a double. For an extra $4usd I got a room with a wonderful balcony looking into the courtyard of the Greek church! It was fantastic. Good breakfast and hot water. Perfect base to explore Alexandria. Lovely walk along the corniche to the citadel or the bibliotheca. Clothing Market on every night with plenty of food places. Lots of families and friend groups walking around and friendly smiles and hellos. It’s a working neighbourhood so expect mechanic shops etc near the hotel. Just a great value place.

Stayed here one night in Alexandria after spending two nights at a fancy Hotel on the corniche. The hospitality was significantly better here. Humble but very clean rooms. Mine (pronounced “Meena”) checked me in and he gave me great recommendations of things to see in the city. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe here, and felt the staff cared about my experience both at the hotel and in Alexandria. Would definitely stay here again. *Noting that another reviewer was doubting that other businesses in the neighborhood have daily power outage from 9-11pm. While some smaller businesses seem to have generators, the rest of the neigbborhood is out and this is practiced in 2 hour time slots in each neighborhood across the city. According to a local friend, it is due to gas inflation caused by war betwen Russia and Ukarine and is a new practice for the country.
