The Gem in Alexandria!
Brief: For anyone in doubt: this is the coolest hotel!
Location: This pearl is situated right in the city center. It’s the best choice for visiting attractions. You can find many hotels outside the Medina, but that wouldn’t be the "real" Alexandria. The Library of Alexandria, the Citadel, many churches, mosques, and fish restaurants are all very close to the hotel. 10/10
Food and Drinks: The breakfast is great. The menu varies by day (it seems to depend on the number of guests), offering either a buffet (smorgasbord) or set dishes. Either way, it’s delicious. Additionally, you’ll enjoy a spectacular view from the restaurant during breakfast and dinner. 10/10
Accommodation: This is a true early 20th-century hotel. It features a vintage lift, high ceilings, and beautiful wood paneling. I stayed in a room with a balcony and a partial sea view. Despite being near the highway, it was surprisingly quiet and calm. The bedding was comfortable, and the room temperature was perfect (even with +10°C at night and +18°C during the day outdoors). 10/10
Service: Very pleasant staff with a good command of English. The hotel team is truly eager to help with any request—whether it's finding a bank, a currency exchange, a bus station, or local attractions. 10/10
Cleanliness: Everything was spotless—the bathroom, balcony, and beds.
Overall Impression: Book this hotel now and come back again! I fell completely in love with this place and Alexandria. European tourists might try to nitpick small disadvantages, but they are insignificant compared to the charm of this amazing hotel.
