I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although recently refurbished with vintage furniture, were too small and noisy due to a nearby wedding with loud music. On the bright side, the service was exceptional - the staff was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The location was superb, perfect for exploring the town, and the dining options were excellent. However, the facilities were not as remarkable, lacking some key features.

The hotel is super centric to move around the city, along the Corniche, making it perfect for exploring. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and I received a great welcome by Mohamed & Nesma upon arrival. The service staff is really decent and helpful, but the reception staff could improve. The location is convenient, with easy access to city attractions, although kitchen ventilation needs attention. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is situated directly in Alexandria's famous Cornish overlooking the sea. The rooms are extremely clean, well equipped, and recently renovated, especially the bathroom facing a narrow alleyway. The location is fantastic with a great sea view, although willing to sacrifice modern amenities for a touch of past decorum. The dining experience offers a variety of choices to meet all appetites.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were surprisingly quiet and peaceful despite being situated above a busy nightclub, thanks to good blockout curtains. However, there was an unpleasant smell lingering in the room. On the bright side, the isolation was effective in keeping street noise at bay.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious with a great sea view, needed to be cleaner and updated. The noise from surrounding AC units made it inconvenient, and the balcony couldn't be enjoyed. However, being in the same room once occupied by the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali Clay added a unique touch to the stay.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with the greatest view in Alexandria, but some rooms may have a faint smell that may not be ideal for families. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff providing top-notch assistance. The location is excellent on the Alexandria Corniche, but parking can be a challenge. The dining experience is diverse but could improve in terms of setup and quality. Overall, a good value for money option with a few minor drawbacks.
