Hotel is in a very good location with San Stefano mall close to it, lot of near by restaurants and shops, excellent sea view. Rooms are modern furniture with coffee table. Staff are very friendly. Tv channels are very limited and poor quality

I was completely shocked and devastated from what I have seen from a hotel ancient & unique like you, also as four seasons is your direct neighbor you should do way MORE better ❗️

You have a very very very few positive points ; while your negative points reach the skies.

Will start with your the little few positive points 👇🏼
✅ Location is amazing , the view from the room is absolutely overwhelming.

✅ Bellman Ahmed AbdelHamid, is very very very friendly, have such a beautiful smile and very helpful (the only person I saw helpful and smiling during my whole staying and very decent)

✅ Food from the room service very tasty and portions are perfect 👍🏼

And here comes all the negativity I faced and made me regret my choice 👇🏼

❌ Rooms smells very bad , there is no ventilation at all, even though we opened the terrace and sprayed the room with air fresheners and disinfectant but still the room smell awful, the smell came out from the carpet itself.

❌ Corridors smell are even worst ‼️ comparing to the price I paid , and hotel with your position you should have plasma in the corridors or remove such rotten carpets at least .

❌ Elevators absolutely slow , I wait at least 5 minutes to ride in ❗️

❌ You mentioned you have parking, which is a complete lie … you don’t have parking, they use limited spot at a garage for a tower which is not even close to the hotel, it’s like 100 meter away… plus it is with extra charge (which they didn’t mention at all) , doesn’t have direct access to the hotel ❗️and more over always crowded and you have to leave your keys or park it and never move it again ❗️and this is completely unacceptable and dishonesty from you cause my first question when I booked do you have a parking or not.

❌ Breakfast buffet is absolutely poor , for a price 2900 EGP per night , you must be kidding me . We didn’t pay such money for 2 plates of cheese and 2 plates of cold meat, and 5 hot trays only ‼️‼️‼️ Bakry station is very limited and not fresh , egg station is not clean and taste awful, can’t believe you can’t make omelette ❗️

❌ AC in the room is horrible, you can’t change the temperature at all and due to that I got a fever and cold .

❌ Stuff are completely inhumane and don’t smile at all, they are working completely off mood as if we force them to work… due to my fever I couldn’t go down for breakfast, I called them and asked to bring it up with extra charge 30 EGP as mentioned in the room services menu, they refused and said it’s a La card ❗️so I have to pay again with extra fee for a breakfast I already paid for it + I got sick from them in the very first place .

❌ Towels very cheep and ruined , not presentable at all… we booked for a suit and that what you got for me , seriously ❗️

❌ We ordered dinner from the menu , but we paid a whole different price than what is mentioned is the menu which is complete fraud for me .

By all means this is the worst staying in my whole life, it’s been 10 years since I visited Alexandria and you completely ruin it for me , make me sick and literally you steal my money , I paid 6K for services and quality no more than 600 EGP .

I don’t know how you get 4 stars , you really should work really hard on yourselves people .

Will never recommend your hotel at all and absolutely will never come back.

Room tip: Don’t go there , this is the worst hotel ever .

The room service was excellent Peter was so polite.
The doorbell man Ahmed and his colleagues super professional.
The lady who was in charge of floor room 308 was excellent one of the best house keeping stuff I ever met in my travels.
But the reception stuff by night was super rood.
How can u be a 4 star hotel without an Alcohol license.
Plus other racial problems.

Room tip: If u drink Alcohol it's not for uuuu

I am a girl of 13, Traveling with my parents in a travelling group and this hotel isn't the best stay. When we arrived to our room there were two beds (single beds) and where a family of 3 so my dad ask for a new room but they gave us a foldable bed which was unstable and the end of the mattress was lifting up and we knew if we slept on we would get back pain. So we pushed the two beds together and slept on that, all 3 of us (they gave my dad an extra room all too himself but my mom and me wasn't on bord with that idea as came to the hotel to spend time with each other) and the room was small and didn't have much room. Later that day the mini fridge started leaking and it was a mess we used tissue paper to just rub the water( other people in our tour package told us that their fridge stated to leak as well, few people had the same bed room problem as us , few couldn't open their hotel doors.) The buffet had less varieties but the food was alright. The Wi-Fi was another issue example: we in room 209 are Wi-Fi username and password would be 209 but it wouldn't work very time we need to connect to the Wi-Fi we had use different Wi-fi username and password, First 107 and next time we connect we have keep trying each room number until it connects and there was and awful smell in our room . Personally me and my family wouldn't recommend this hotel( especially for a relaxing vacation) , it would probably for us personally be emergence place if there is no hotel available. Thank for taking your time reading this.

Horrible hotel to be avoided at all costs. The windows are not insulated against the constant honking of the street below. The carpet had red stains (I swear it was blood) and stinks of years of cigarette smoke. The bathroom vent sounded like a helicopter taking off and the AC vent was so full of dust and mildew that we ran from this room and change hotels right away.

Room tip: Avoid this hotel. Spend the extra money and go anywhere else.
