Best Location

Fantastic large room with high ceilings and great view. Location means there is traffic noise past midnight, but that doesn’t bother us - just steps to the Corniche. Best location in Alexandria. Bed was very comfy! Internet a bit weak.

A night by the Mediterranean

From friendly staff, great access to most sites by walking, an amazing view my stay was excellent. I wanted to stay longer. But definitely coming back to Alexandria if I can stay in this hotel. I also loved the amazing Greek-Roman museum nearby

This is a historic building, sparking clean, awesome view of the Mediterranean with the prestigious Steinberger management but we had a bad experience. We arrived late first day. The room was very small and we had a problem in the water supply in our room which the house keeping could not resolve and we couldn't shower the first day after a long travel. The next day we were denied access to breakfast claiming that our itinerary did not include breakfast. We had to make a long distance call to expedia to resolve the problem only then we were allowed access as our reservation did include breakfast and the mistake was at the property side. So we didn't feel comfortable and requested to cancel the rest of our stay and find another place but the property said it was a non refundable reservation. Expedia agent (Who was super helpful) was able to negotiate with the property to move us to another room which was spacious with no water problem and we could enjoy the rest of our stay. The staff was nice and the food was of high quality.

Mon séjour à Alexandrie a été absolument parfait grâce à cet hôtel exceptionnel ! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une chaleur et une gentillesse incroyables, on se sent vraiment comme à la maison. Tout le personnel est d’une bienveillance rare, toujours souriant, disponible et attentionné. Je tiens à adresser un immense merci à Yousra, Imen et Mahmoud, les housekeepers de notre étage, pour leur professionnalisme, leur gentillesse et leurs petites attentions quotidiennes. Grâce à eux, notre chambre était toujours impeccable et pleine de bonnes ondes. Un grand merci également à la personne de l’accueil (je crois qu’il s’appelait Ali) qui nous a reçus à notre arrivée et s’est occupé de notre check-in avec une grande amabilité et un professionnalisme exemplaire. Un grand bravo à toute l’équipe pour cette ambiance conviviale et authentique, on sent qu’ils aiment leur travail et qu’ils ont à cœur de rendre le séjour des clients inoubliable. Je recommande cet hôtel les yeux fermés et j’y reviendrai sans hésiter lors de mon prochain passage à Alexandrie !

Stay at least once

Some places in Egypt are a must stay, just for the 'experience' of nostalgia and history. This is one of them. Balcony with a view is a must.

Excellent location to stay in Alexandria. Close to everything. Walked to both the Fish Market and the Alexandria Library. Breakfasts were great each morning and the staff was very attentive. Manager and staff all very nice. Enjoyed Montys Bar with entertainment on the first floor. Two women at Concierge were very helpful Nagham and Nesma. It was great also to have the car transport service available at the Cecil Hotel. Rania from the car transport was very helpful in arranging our 3-hour car transport from Cairo to the Cecil Hotel on the evening of our airport arrival. Moustafa was the best driver. We also took a 5-hour tour of the important Alexandria sites with him. The Cecil’s historic significance makes this hotel stay very memorable. Thanks.

Staying here during research on the 61st Highland Anti-Tank Regiment ww2. The building is of particular historical interest to our group being HQ for General Bernard Montgomery during the 1942 Egyptian Campaign. Thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay

We had a very bad experience with this hotel: 1. They claimed the hotel was non-smoking, yet the smell of cigarettes' smoke was everywhere. The security personnel were smoking openly in the lobby. Our room was next to an "office" and the employees were smoking all the time. The rooms also smelled cigarette smoke. 2. The hotel operates a very noisy disco that was still thudding at 3:30AM. 3. The windows in the room were not sealed properly. We felt we were on the street, with the street noise and the smell of car exhaust very vivid in the room. 4. The hot water shower took a bit to warm up, and then was constantly changed between cold and very hot all the time, practically making the shower unusable. 5. The cleaning personnel were very unprofessional. They loudly fought with one another. Overall, this was a very poor experience. This is a dilapidated hotel that was renovated on the cheap. Yes, the location is great and the hotel has history. But this is where it really stops. You are better off staying elsewhere.

First of all, this is an old and very historic hotel. Do not expect all mod-cons! That said, staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough to please. Our room was large and overlooked the Corniche so was noisy until about 2am (as expected!) but compensated for by the view, the proximity to old downtown, amazing cafes and restaurants nearby. Monty’s bar very “old English” with live music after 9pm. Good food and drinks, attentive staff. But it’s smoking - and Egyptian cigarette smoke clings and lingers!
