The 16 best areas to stay in Alexandria

Very old property…inside and outside is completely run down. The service and common areas are really bad. The valet service is non existent and you can’t order taxis or ubers. Pool is a joke and very small. Staff are ok but very far from 5 star. Not more 2 stars.

The scenarios and the view everywhere is overwhelming and spectacular. All the rooms are sea view . Rooms are spacious, well maintained and room service are keen to provide you with all you need . The only problem is with all the noise on weekends due to weddings organized in the hotel. Staff everywhere are too friendly, always serving you with a smile on their faces . Food isn’t the restaurant is satisfactory when talking about diversity and delicious in taste , they have an extra restaurant to serve breakfast on jammed days . The gym is satisfactory to maintain your form on a holiday but the 3 treadmills, elliptical and stair machines are not working properly and need maintenance. The sea is sandy with no waves and the pool is not that spacious but adequate . WiFi is working perfectly in rooms and internet spped is good

We spent a week end in October in room 125. The hotel has a serious issue in management. The service is the furthest it can be from welcoming. Zero hospitality. I had a feeling that they hire their acquintances with no consideration to professionality what so ever. They had a woman who served eggs at breakfast she was literally hiding so that no one makes an order with extremely rude facial expressions. They refuse that anyone fills a bottle from the dispenser. They refuse anyone takes the rest of their dish even if for a child. They dont add toothbrush unless you ask for it. The cleaning crew comes very late and are so slow and they always ask if they can skip cleaning.

It was a simple but excellent stay. The reception was perfect, especially Habiba. The cleanliness was perfect. The housekeeper’s treatment was excellent. I was pleased with the number of girls there, and it was very comfortable. Everything from the check-in to the check-out was wow. 10/10

Very beautiful location very good facilities ruined by managment .. food is good and wide variety .. cleaniless and health concerns needs a serious consideration , garbage bins are not emptied regularly, there was a small insect in the cupboard, table tops are not clean , and handles of bath sink, room service does not answer many times , the iron came with a warning (thankfully),the glasses for juice in the restaurant actually smelled and ALL drink dispensers (exept one) in the restaurant and room kettles are made of plastic... but the worst experience ever was at night.. the spot light of the balcony do not close before 1 and I do not know how on earth a very noisy weddings and "type" of music is allowed in such a heavenly place.. I have to say that a lot of the staff were very friendly and caring and tried to their best to alleviate alot of those discomforts though many were also stressed out or seem unhappy as I noticed in other review...I could not help a feeling that this potential peace of heaven is A perfect example of how to ruin a lovely legacy by bad management and taste.. I sincerely appologise to our foreigner guests who had to suffer with me this horrible night.

Today I stayed at the Helnan Palestine Hotel in Alexandria, and I am pleased to share that my experience was very satisfying. The hotel is beautifully located in the historic Montaza area, surrounded by the royal gardens and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The setting is peaceful and offers a sense of calm that is both rare and refreshing. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, polite, and attentive. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. What I especially appreciated was the dinner, which was well-prepared, flavorful, and served in an elegant setting with a stunning view of the sea. What stood out the most was the natural beauty of the surroundings, and the sense of history that the hotel carries. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and I am genuinely satisfied with both the service and the overall experience.

Overall, everything was great except for the breakfast, which was of very poor quality. In my opinion, it does not meet the standards of a 3-star hotel, especially when compared to other hotels in the area, such as Rixos. Please take this point into consideration, as we plan to visit this memorable place again and hope to find a better breakfast with more variety and higher quality.

I recently spent some time at the rooftop, and it was such a lovely experience! Everything was super clean, nicely set up, and the whole place had a really chill, welcoming vibe. I especially want to thank Asmaa from the reception team ,she was amazing! So friendly and professional, greeted us with a big smile, and was super helpful the whole time. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to relax and enjoy some great service. I’ll definitely be back!

This hotel is an amazing place with a unique location and a breathtaking sea view. The atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable, and the staff are all respectful, kind, and very professional. Everything was well-organized, and I felt truly comfortable during my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a special and memorable experience. It’s a place I would love to come back to again

The service was wonderful and very attentive, which made our romantic date extra special. The staff were polite and made sure everything was perfect for us. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, adding a beautiful touch to the whole experience. Definitely a lovely place for a romantic evening

It was a very nice hotel and the view was magnificent. The staff is so friendly, specially Sara Yahia. I didn’t like that every single detail in the room has extra cost, we thought that the tea and water besides the kettle in the room are free (as it should be, like any other hotel and no price was clearly mentioned beside them), but when I was making the check out, the receptionist told me that the 2 water bottles beside the tea have an extra cost and the price was hidden in the cupboard over the minibar!!

The place is really nice and cozy. Everything is super clean and well-organized. The food is fresh, tasty, and beautifully served. The staff are very friendly, polite, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. It’s also quiet and relaxing, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again

Our stay at the hotel was perfect. The night receptionist and staff were superb upon our early morning arrival. The breakfast was varied and good, with beautiful views of the bay. The waiters were very polite and friendly. Bassant answered all our questions very politely. The rooms and the hotel's surroundings are very elegant. We will return to this hotel.

Very special place, with a wonderful panoramic sea view of Alexandria. The breakfast is open buffet with a variety of fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, a full hot selection and a fantastic made-to-order omelette station. It is the perfect way to start your day. The staff is so kind and attentive specially Ms.Asmaa ❤️

I had a wonderful stay at Hilton Alexandria! Everything was perfect — from the clean and comfortable rooms to the amazing sea view. The atmosphere was so relaxing, and the service was exceptional. I would especially like to thank Hana from Guest Relations for her outstanding hospitality and kindness. She was always smiling, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She truly made my stay special! Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon! 🌊✨

I had a fantastic stay at the Hilton! Everything was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were super friendly and helpful — especially Maryam Gamal, who went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. Thank you for the great service! I’ll definitely come back again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Special thanks to Nagwa during the check in process and for getting us a great room. She was professional and helpful throughout our whole stay. Hamid went above and beyond at the La Gourmandise restaurant. Dawlet provided excellent house keeping services and made our stay comfortable. The property was clean, organized, and well maintained. Breakfast buffet was great. The sunset view from the pool and private beach were a plus. Thank you everybody.

The staff are very friendly , the beach was very clean with unique location and there were shuttle buses every 30 mins to and from the beach. The breakfast buffet was very nice with many varities. Also the rooms are spacious , clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the stay and definitely it is not the last time :)

The best thing about this hotel is the breathtaking view. I chose a sea-view room, and the balcony was like a living frame for some of the most beautiful paintings of the Mediterranean. Sitting sipping coffee with the sound of the waves is the perfect start to any day. I can't describe my stay at the Hilton Alexandria Corniche as anything but a truly relaxing trip.

Great experience! Staff was always courteous. Saber from the concierge was always available and ready to help when needed. Hotel was nice and clean. Breakfast was also delicious.

The dining experience at the hotel restaurants was excellent. They were very diverse and rich in items to satisfy all tastes, but what made the stay truly exceptional was the outstanding service and staff. Everyone, from the reception staff to the room service and restaurant workers, was extremely friendly and professional. Thank you.

The rooms are very old and the quality level is below average. Unfortunately the hotel needs a full modernization. The lobby is good but the lounge takes the full area and often empty doesn’t offer residents a full view to enjoy the architecture. Only recommended for the nice location and very friendly staff. The food was not that great from the hotel kitchen but there are plenty of choices either in the hotel or in the center. The elevators are very old and small but working. The HVAC system needs to be fully upgraded. Some police stuff are standing directly in front door which doesn’t give a good impression to the guest if it’s the first thing my eyes will catch. The pool is good but the service on the pool is very poor and needs a massive sun protection on the sides and avoid using this massive umbrellas not common any more.

Excellent for business travelers and Great service above all. The breakfast choices also were excellent. I had an exceptional service at the reception from Moheb Higazi. He went above and beyond to accommodate every request and need from our group. He was resourceful, respectful with a high standard of courtesy in communication. Well done. Thank you. Everyone was very pleased.

Do not recommend this hotel if you want to relax. We were allocated a room next to a room that was being renovated. Extremely loud construction noise from 8am. Got moved to another room which was better during the day, however at night, all the noises from the mall around will keep you awake

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Alexandria! I had a fantastic experience at Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza. The location is unbeatable—right inside Green Plaza Mall, which made shopping, dining, and entertainment incredibly convenient. The hotel itself is elegant and well-maintained, with spacious rooms that were clean, comfortable, and quiet. What truly stood out was the level of service. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. From the smooth check-in to the room service and housekeeping, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The breakfast buffet at Alexander Restaurant was generous and delicious, offering a wide variety of options every morning. I also loved the pool area—it was a relaxing escape after a day of exploring Alexandria. This hotel is ideal whether you’re traveling for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Hilton Green Plaza to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and top-notch hospitality in Alexandria.

The place was actually so big and they have cameras everywhere and the place is so good and clean and there is so much security and the pool was nice and clean and everyone here is so nice and it's a bit confusing getting to Ur room the first time but after the first/second time you'll know Ur way around and I would definitely recommend going there But coming here was a bit hard because it's right in the middle of Alexandria but it's worth the trip

Had a great stay at Hilton Green Plaza. As a Diamond member, I really appreciated the smooth check-in. Thanks to Dalia Ezz at the front desk for being very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was a highlight: the variety was great, from fresh local dishes to international favorites. The staff were attentive without being overbearing—always ready with a smile and quick to offer refills or help with special requests. Definitely recommend if you're in Alexandria and want comfort, great service, and a breakfast worth waking up for.

I initially gave Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza 2 stars due to a frustrating check-in experience, but I've now updated my review to 3 stars after receiving an outstanding follow-up from the Guest Relations team. The positives The hotel itself is clean and well-maintained. My room was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Housekeeping was consistent and polite. The location is convenient, especially with the attached mall and easy access to amenities. Most of the staff were courteous and professional throughout my stay. The negatives Upon arrival, there was confusion over my pre-paid booking (arranged by my company), which should have been straightforward. The front desk clerk was dismissive and condescending, and no apology was offered for the 30-minute delay. The room assigned was one of the furthest from reception, adding to the inconvenience after a tiring journey. Despite the poor first impression, I must commend Rowan from Guest Relations who followed up professionally, acknowledged the shortfall in service, and assured me that improvements were being made internally. It’s that kind of customer care that helps rebuild confidence in a brand. Overall, a mixed experience but one that ended on a more positive note thanks to the follow-up support.

I recently stayed at Tolip Hotel Alexandria, and overall, it was a great experience. The location is truly amazing—right on the Corniche with a perfect view of the sea, and very close to many attractions. The hotel itself is large, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of facilities including restaurants, a pool, gym,and access to a private beach. The staff were very professional and welcoming. Special thanks to the housekeeping team who kept the rooms spotless every day. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of choices, and the food quality was very good. The atmosphere around the pool was relaxing, and I enjoyed spending time there. There are, however, a few things to note. The hotel can get very crowded during weekends and holidays, which sometimes makes the breakfast area busy. The beach is nice but requires a shuttle to reach, and it could be kept cleaner. Some rooms would benefit from small updates and better maintenance, but overall the cleanliness and comfort were satisfying. Despite these minor issues, my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. If you want a hotel with a perfect seafront location, friendly staff, and lots of facilities, Tolip Alexandria is definitely a solid choice. I would recommend it to both families and business travelers, and I look forward to visiting again.

I stayed at this hotel and it truly has a beautiful view of the sea. Although the parking area was very crowded, which was a bit annoying, the Deputy Manager kindly upgraded my room to a larger one, and I really appreciate that gesture. We also enjoyed the swimming pool and the delicious breakfast with the stunning view. Overall, it was a very nice experience and I’m grateful for the excellent service.🥰🥰

Everything is perfect, they made an upgrade to our room from deluxe pool & sea view, to suit pool & sea view. The breakfast is amazing, the products is very high quality. The beach is sandy and lovely, except there is no chaise longue (this is the only bad thing). Everyone serve you without asking from you. We loved it so that we add another night to our stay ♥️♥️♥️

Great hotel to stay, I'd recommend to take a room with sea view it's magical 🤩spent there one night.. The staff was helpful and they allowed for late check out.. The only thing is that you need to take you with a bus that goes every one hour from 9-6 pm to reach the beach

My stay at this establishment was marked by a series of disappointments that fall far short of the standards expected from a 5-star hotel. Nonexistent soundproofing: The room faced the corniche, a very noisy area. The lack of double glazing made sleep impossible due to the constant traffic noise. Neglected bathroom: No toiletries were provided. The shower tray drained very poorly, and the showerhead leaked in several places, clearly indicating a lack of maintenance. Faulty equipment: Most of the electrical switches were out of order, as were the bedside lights, making the room uncomfortable and barely functional. Mediocre breakfast: No beverages worthy of a hotel in this category. No espresso offered, only Nescafé, which is unacceptable. Catastrophic internet connection: The speed was below 600 Kbps, making any online activity nearly impossible. Such a level of service is unacceptable, especially for business travelers. Only positive point: The gym, which was well-equipped and met the expectations of a high-end hotel. In summary, this hotel absolutely does not deserve its 5-star rating. A reassessment of its classification is urgently needed, both in terms of infrastructure and service.

I recently stayed at this hotel during my last visit to Alexandria, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect and everything was very clean and well organized.The staff were polite and professional, always ready to help especially Sara at the reception. She was extremely helpful and professional.Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay and I’ll be happy to return again in the near future.

Overall, we had a good experience at the hotel, there are many restaurants and Vera is very nice during the evening. The love is beautiful. The breakfast area is also very big with a lot of options (we were a big fan of the desserts) They were very kind to offer us a free upgrade to a Junior suite and it was quite spacious with a very big balcony. Four stars as the hotel needs some upgrade in order to be best value for money, considering that the night rate was around €150 euros

The accommodation, service, and professionalism of the staff at the Cecil Hotel in Alexandria went far beyond our expectations. The hotel is exceptionally clean and beautifully authentic, offering a wonderful sense of nostalgia—from the vintage elevator to the signatures of the many famous stars and figures who once stayed here. The rooms are spotless, and the housekeeping team does an outstanding job. The food and beverage experience exceeded our expectations every single day. I wish I could mention everyone by name, but special thanks go to Assistant Restaurant Manager Mr. Mohamed Abdel Aty and Chef Abdel Sattar for their professionalism, warm hospitality, and truly delicious dishes. I felt at home and warmly welcomed at every step. I could keep writing and still not capture how memorable this stay was.

Absolutely beautiful in every way: the staff are kind, smart, attentive; their attention to detail is surpassed by none (a very special thank you to Amr, Ibrahim and Soheir 🥰) . Our room is clean, comfortable, with an amazing sea view. And breakfast everyday was delicious - consistent quality - and the chef came by our table every morning to say good morning and to see if we were enjoying our meal. I feel welcome and cared for - I am so enjoying my stay. Thank you Cecil staff for making our visit to Alexandria an exceptional one.

The best location to see Alexandia and enjoy the view of the Mediterranean! Great value for money. Wonderful service and really nice service teams whether it's the reception, restaurants, or housekeeping. Historical landmark worth visiting over and over again. Rooms are dated though. Wished bathrooms could be renovated.

There is nothing not to like about this place. Clean, spacious, great service and the best location in Alexandria. The only thing to be aware of is that it is right on the Corniche, so if you're a light sleeper you'll suffer from traffic noise until the wee hours. That doesn't bother us and the spectacular view from our balcony, the huge and comfortable room, and prime location would make it all worth it even if we were. We won't choose anywhere else in Alexandria!

Excellent hospitality, especially from Mr. Mohamed Amman — professional, kind, and always ready to help. Thank you, Mr. Mohamed, and the entire team for making my experience truly special. I’m grateful for the warm welcome and hope to visit again soon. Keep up the great work!

My stay at the Cecil Hotel was absolutely wonderful! 🌅 The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and beautifully served. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help — they truly made the atmosphere warm and welcoming.

Our Company had a business meeting at Cecil hotel last Thursday. Everything was excellent. The meeting room was comfortable and well-equipped. The staff members and the catering ( Mr. Ibrahim & Mr. Ziad) were very professional, supportive and attentive. I highly recommend it for business events.

Location of hotel is excellent. Rooms were ok didn’t like it as furniture was old. The staff were nice. One thing we didn’t like about hotel is that they don’t allow and food or drinks from outside at all so you can’t bring any drinks. I have a young girl who eats only certain food. I had to hide her food otherwise they won’t allow us

positives: the view is beautiful and the staff is nice negatives: food is below average, the rooms aren’t clean enough, the room always has a smell and sheets have stains, same with the bathroom, they don’t give enough towels (gave 2 to a family of 4) the ac unit is dirty in every room, the ceiling had what seemed to be a moldy spot, they would always make mistakes with food orders and take too long and the food is never good really, and they don’t allow u to order food to the hotel which is ridiculous. would not recommend at all just find a 5 star hotel with similar pricing, there are plenty

Ugh, where do I even begin? I've given this hotel multiple chances, and each time has been an absolute nightmare. It's a real shame because the location is fantastic, and you'd expect a certain level of quality for the price. Instead, it's a constant stream of frustration. My check-in was delayed because the room wasn't ready, but when I finally got inside, the smell of cigarette smoke hit me like a wall. There were even old cigarette butts left in the room, and the air conditioning vents were filthy. When I brought it up to the staff, they apologized but no action taken.. i even showed them pictures of how awful the room looked.. And don't even get me started on the rooms themselves. They're tiny, the mattresses are rock hard, and the pillows are completely useless. It's truly a disappointing experience from top to bottom. The elevators are a joke. I was on the 7th floor, and the elevator simply refused to go up there. I tried calling the front desk multiple times, but nobody would answer the phone. I had to trek all the way downstairs just to find out they already knew about the problem and had zero explanation for why I was still given a room on that floor. According to the staff I spoke with—who were actually quite nice—the hotel's owners are fully aware of these issues the hotel is going through, but choose not to do anything about them.

The hotel is located in very nice area and has very nice view. The staff in the reception and restaurant were very professional and friendly. Especially, Mohammed Fathi at the front desk and Helmy at the restaurant. The hotel charge was very reasonable. I recommend Plaza Hotel for your next vacation.

Huge problem with hygiene The kettle wasn't clear and the bed i smell the perfume of the earlier guest. The breakfast was good

Extremely bad management reservation lady named enjy made me travel from cairo with wrong rates unprofessional doesn’t know how to handle frustration left and thankfully didn’t stay over there as they are extremely unprofessional or trustworthy with what they say or do clearly didn’t meet any expectations if you want to be humiliated go to this place and they’ll serve you with unhumane manners

I booked a hotel in Alexandria, Egypt through Priceline, which routed the reservation via Agoda (Booking ID: 856402818). The listing claimed it was a 5-star hotel—Plaza Hotel Alexandria—but it was absolutely nothing of the sort. The property was filthy, unsafe, and completely misrepresented. I wouldn’t have checked my dog into that place, let alone myself. I arrived on May 13, walked into the room, and immediately called Priceline. They connected me to Agoda. I checked right back out within minutes. Despite doing everything by the book—reporting the issue immediately, providing evidence, and making multiple follow-ups—it took 18 days to receive a final “resolution,” which offered no refund and no accountability. This experience was a complete failure in customer care and false advertising. Agoda dragged the issue for over two weeks only to side with the hotel, ignoring the blatant fraud of a 5-star rating on a place that barely qualifies as a hostel. I will never use Agoda again, and I highly advise others to verify hotel ratings independently before trusting what’s listed.

This is a majestic hotel. The grandeur of its interiors invokes an old world charm that no amount of modern opulence can compete with. Its lift, the beauty of its reception, lobby, staircase and the rooms are charming to say the least. The rooftop restaurant is simply amazing and definitely has the best views in all Alexandria. The food is too good and the staff are exceptional. Loving every minute of our stay here.

We loved everything about this hotel. The beautiful room has very comfortable beds and black out shades. Room was also quiet. The hotel is just breathtaking. It is definitely a grand experience! Make sure to ride the old elevator to the roof top to enjoy the view. It is in the thick of Alexandria’s historic downtown, with easy access to the Corniche to walk with Mediterranean views, and historic landmarks.

Le Metropole is a beautiful hotel in the perfect location for visiting Alexandria. The room, elevator, dining area, everywhere is stunning - the definition of decadence. The staff were welcoming and helpful, especially Sara who showed us to our room and explained the facilities. We loved breakfast - a great selection of hot and cold food. The sea view from the room and the rooftop bar was splendid. This was a luxurious stay and we hope to come back and stay again!

We spent the evening at the Skyview at the metropole Hotel in Alexandria. We were met by an extremely lovely young lady by the name of Asmaa Said, she directed us to a table with one of the most magnificent views. She took the time to shed light on the history of the hotel. We travel a lot and have met a number of nice hotel hostesses but not as efficient , professional and dedicated as Asmaa . She is indeed a valuable addition to this first class establishment. We congratulate you on your choice of staff. When it comes to the food, the word to use is simply succulent. Every staff member we met were absolutely amazing. Thank you again.

Vintage style Hotel, with the high ceiling and art. Rooms were clean, bed was somehow small (single bed), service was nice everyone here is friendly, location is at the center of Alexandria and the best thing about it is the roof where you have breakfast, the view is unparalleled. The food is average don’t expect something special. It is great value for money

We arrived at Le Metropole Hotel in Alexandria and were overwhelmed by the charm and elegance. Following a cold welcoming beverage, we were shown to our room. A small balcony offered an intriguing view into the busy city streets as well as an incredible view of the harbour and the Mediterranean beyond. We were invited to a lounge for a complimentary "afternoon tea" which we thoroughly enjoyed. An evening walk through the streets in the area revealed many small shops and a market close by. Day 2 We enjoyed breakfast at the luxurious Sky View Restaurant on the roof of the hotel. What a beautiful view of the harbour surrounded by historic elegance. We returned for dinner and watched the sun set over the city. This was definitely a highlight of our three week stay in Egypt

We were in a tour group. Our room was fine, and had a glimpse of the Mediterranean Sea. On the fourth floor it was quiet. But two other others in our group did not have the same experience. One had a door handle that fell off, the other had an exhaust fan in the bathroom do the same. Very atmospheric

Our experience at the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria was truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and filled with thoughtful details that made us feel at home. A very special thank you to Ziad and Mostafa for their incredible service — always smiling, friendly, and genuinely attentive. The Egyptian restaurant deserves special recognition for its warm hospitality and delicious food. Every meal was a delight, and the staff’s kindness made each visit even more enjoyable. At breakfast, Juliana greeted us every morning with her lovely smile and helpful attitude — she made our mornings extra special. The entire team embodies what true five-star service should be: polite, professional, and caring. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful hotel — it’s easily one of the best in Alexandria!

Staying at the Four Seasons Alexandria is truly an exceptional experience — this hotel sets the standard for luxury on the Mediterranean coast. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with warm hospitality, elegant décor, and a breathtaking view of the sea. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and offer stunning views of the Mediterranean. Every detail is thoughtfully curated for comfort and style — from the plush bedding to the marble bathrooms and private terraces. The service is world-class, with staff going above and beyond to ensure every need is met with a smile. The hotel features a private beach, multiple gourmet restaurants, a relaxing spa, and a lovely infinity pool. Whether you're in Alexandria for business or leisure, the Four Seasons makes every moment feel special. Easily one of the best hotels in Alexandria, and arguably in all of Egypt. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and unforgettable memories by the sea. 🌊✨

I visited the Four Seasons Beach Restaurant on August 24, 2025, to celebrate my first wedding anniversary with my wife. I had reserved a romantic candlelight dinner on the beach through OpenTable, hoping to surprise her. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Despite clearly mentioning our anniversary during the reservation, we were seated at a plain table while another couple next to us had a beautifully decorated setup. I reminded the waiter twice about my request, but nothing was done. Meanwhile, he passed by foreign guests several times, checking on them, while our table was completely ignored after we placed our order. When I spoke to a supervisor, he only brought us a standard lamp, claiming candles “don’t work on the beach”—yet minutes later, I saw candles lit for the couple next to us. No one checked on us during the meal, and only after we had finished did the waiter return. At payment, I expressed my disappointment and noted that if I had spoken English and presented my Austrian passport, the service would have been different. Suddenly, the attitude changed: I was offered a dessert “as an apology” and invited to return—too little, too late. Sadly, this was a very unpleasant experience. A place that treats its local guests with less care while showing special attention to foreigners does not reflect the luxury standards I expected from Four Seasons. I would not recommend celebrating such an important occasion here.

We had an amazing stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Alexandria. The Double Room Beach Suite was perfect — spacious, spotless, and just steps from the beach. The staff were the real highlight: so friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond. Housekeeping was excellent, with daily cleaning, fresh fruit, and water. Breakfast at the Beach Restaurant was a delight, with fantastic service from Rawan in particular. Truly a 5-star experience — highly recommended and we’ll definitely return.

Incredible experience from A to Z . I got used to this excellent service &the standards of Four Seasons San Stefano that I can not accept less when I travel around the world nothing can impress me like here . The whole team are like a family and genuinely I feel Home being here the warm welcome, the outstanding experience, greetings with a happy smile from all the staff to the extent that I see that contagious even FS guests had same positive vibes everyone is greeting and smiling . Like heaven sure we have our bad days and burdens but when you visit Four Seasons San Stefano they vanish at least for the time we stay there . Thank you to every single person working at FS not even one negative comment. FS uniqueness is not only having a luxurious & elegant building in-front of the beach, the heart of our beautiful Alexandria but also the dedication of the staff striving to provide a signature experience to all guests . Sincere appreciation and looking forward for my next unforgettable experience.

We booked a room for our family including our 6 year old son. Upon submitting our arrested marriage certificate we were told that we needed to book a second room, as a married couple of over 8 years with our 6 year son and having stayed in many high end hotels in Cairo the treatment was truly shocking. Appalling that they said it was not accepted as our marriage certificate wasn’t stamped in Egypt despite being married and it being attested in the UAE

What a beautiful hotel and most likely the best hotel I visited in Egypt. I go every year and from the red see to Alexandria never had better stay than 4 seasons I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends and family in USA and I will be there next year

We had a great stay, it was comfortable and enjoyable, staff were very kind and helpful all the time. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Ms. Alyaa from quality division, she was caring all the time to make sure we have everything we need, and she did everything to make our stay fantastic and memorable, it wasn’t our first stay at Sunrise Alex Avenue and I believe it will not be the last one as we are coming to Alexandria every year on the same time, thank you again and have my best wishes..

My stay at Sunrise Hotel was just perfect. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and were always ready to help. The room was clean, spacious, and felt very cozy. Every day I came back to find it spotless and well arranged. Honestly, this hotel gave me such a comfortable and relaxing experience that I already want to come back again.

My 10th Stay and Still Amazed Every Time! This was my 10th stay at my absolute favorite hotel, and I just wanted to share how consistently amazing the experience has been. Despite making my reservation at the last minute, the team arranged everything instantly and flawlessly. From the moment I arrived, everything was ready—just the way I like it—which speaks volumes about the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction and attention to detail. A very heartfelt thank you to the CEO, Dr. Said El Atiek, for leading such an exceptional team and maintaining the highest standards every single time. To Mr. Haytham Hakim, the General Manager—your personal care and attention always make me feel like I’m coming home. You run this place with so much heart and professionalism. And of course, my gratitude to Mr. Moataz from the front desk, Mr. Mohamed Shabaan from the restaurant, and Mr. Nabil for his dedicated service and care. Thanks again, Dr. Said, for always making my stays unforgettable .

What impressed me most was how fresh everything felt, especially at breakfast. The bread was soft, the fruits were juicy, and even the small details like butter and jams tasted premium. It gave me a sense that the hotel really cares about quality. It’s these little touches that make the stay so memorable.

I been in many five star hotels around the world, but non of them like Sunrise. Not a single negative I can say, that is for all departments. Every thing here was super. Every one working hard to get customer satisfaction . Mr. Nabil in the food area, chef.Ahmed and all others (sorry I could not recognize all names)Thank you to all the people in sunrise hotel for making our holiday great. We will be back

I’ve enjoyed my stay very much the weather was perfect the beach the services and amenities were amazing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was exceptional l. The location is perfect very near to all the attractions.I recommend it for a cozy stay with your loved ones. Especial thanks to Kareem for his support and care. Thank you Sunrise Alexandria for the unforgettable vacation.

Had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for sightseeing, and the hotel staff made us feel at home. The staff was welcoming and accommodating right from the moment we checked in. Rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend it. Thank you to Zakria and Alya.

Was there to attend a conference and booked a room, the room was very spacious and luxurious with all amenities provided, the service was nice from all staff, The private beach was probably the best thing about this hotel complete privacy and very clean, all beach services are provided like toilets/towels/bar/ lifeguard. I didn’t get a chance to try the pool maybe next time,they have a private garage (100Egy). The breakfast was amazing the pancakes made by the chef is a must try.

I was there for one day and a night to attend a weeding, the rooms are clean but for me they were a little bit narrow, the food was only tried during the weeding buffet, some items were really delicious others were just ok, but the service was top and the people were all over the place ready to offer help. The swimming pool was heated we spent few hours in my opinion it is a little bit small compared to the number of the rooms. Overall a nice experience

When we arrived to check in, the front desk staff member her name is Mai, acted in an unprofessional and extremely rude manner. As we all know in hospitality, first impressions last. Unfortunately, her behavior gave us a very negative impression of the hotel and its management. It is concerning that such staff are allowed to represent the hotel at the front desk. We had already made an internal booking over the phone, which was confirmed. However, upon arrival, Mai informed us that there was no room available, speaking in a very arrogant tone. When I requested to meet the Front Desk Manager to file a complaint, a room suddenly became available — but at a higher rate than the one I had previously agreed upon via WhatsApp. This raises serious concerns about the integrity, transparency, and professionalism at your hotel. Such practices not only damage the guest experience but also harm the hotel’s reputation. I hope management addresses this issue promptly to ensure other guests do not face similar treatment.

We made a mistake coming to this hotel instead of the other hotel service. Here is amazing. They traded us so well and called the other hotel to send us a schedule to take us from here to the other hotel.

Helnan Mamoura Hotel is a good place to spend a night or two ;however, the service there isn't as good as I was promised. The room isn't the best comparing to the prices. The experience was satisfactory as a whole

The place is so good personally I would go there again and the beach view is so good and it also has it's own place on the beach so you are completely alone with only a couple more families next to you and the price is pretty good and the pool is also pretty good and it has a pool for kids

I had my wedding there a few weeks ago highly disappointed with the poor service and definitely would not recommend such venue. Poor service, unnecessary mistakes, unpleasant wedding cake and rude staff.

🌟 Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa – A Fascinating Journey Below Alexandria ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a Local Guide and someone who loves exploring ancient wonders, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa were a highlight of our time in Alexandria. This site is truly one of Egypt’s hidden treasures—layered with mystery, beauty, and history. Descend a spiral staircase into a multi-level underground necropolis carved from solid rock. What makes this site so unique is its blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences—you’ll see Pharaonic motifs sitting right alongside Greco-Roman columns, statues, and reliefs. 🪦 What Stood Out: • The main burial chamber, with stunning carvings and sarcophagi • The Hall of Caracalla, believed to be a mass burial site for soldiers and horses • Intricate mosaic details and unexpected artistic fusion • The air of mystery—you feel like you’ve stepped back 2,000 years underground 📍 Tips for Visiting: • Wear sturdy shoes—some areas can be damp and slippery. • If you can, bring a guide or read up ahead of time—the signage is minimal, and the stories are worth knowing. The site is well-preserved, less crowded, and offers something different from typical temple visits. If you’re in Alexandria and love ancient history, this is an absolute must-see. — Local Guide, seeker of ancient places & underground wonders

The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa in Alexandria are an absolute wonder and one of the most fascinating historical sites I’ve ever visited. Hidden beneath the bustling city, this ancient necropolis offers a mysterious and captivating journey into Egypt’s Greco-Roman past. As I descended the spiral staircase into the underground chambers, I immediately felt a sense of awe. The combination of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architectural styles is truly unique — intricate carvings of gods, sphinxes, and mythological figures blend together beautifully. The craftsmanship is incredible, especially considering the site dates back nearly two thousand years. The catacombs are surprisingly extensive, with multiple levels of burial chambers, statues, and wall reliefs. The central tomb, known as the Hall of Caracalla, is especially impressive and beautifully preserved. Although photography is limited in certain areas, just walking through the dimly lit passageways gives you a deep appreciation for the ancient world and how people once honored their dead. The site is well maintained and easy to navigate with guides available at the entrance. I highly recommend taking a guided tour to fully understand the symbolism and history behind the carvings. It’s cool underground, so it’s a great place to visit even on a hot day. The atmosphere is quiet, mysterious, and deeply moving — a true testament to Alexandria’s rich and layered history. If you’re in the city, the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa are an absolute must-see attraction.

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa is an incredible underground complex where Egyptian and Greek cultures beautifully intersect. Walking through the catacombs, the experience isn’t just about admiring the statues and carvings—it’s about imagining how people built such a place centuries ago. Above ground, you can also see stones and sarcophagi that were excavated from the site. One disappointing thing, though: seeing cement bags stored in ancient burial chambers really shows how little attention is given to preserving such historically significant places. Fun fact: According to story, the catacombs were discovered when a donkey accidentally fell into a hole leading to the site!

Incredible catacombs in the heart of Alexandria. Kom el Shoqafa is a fascinating labyrinth of underground tombs and chambers that blends Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. Walking through its narrow passages and seeing the carved statues, reliefs, and burial niches gives a real sense of the skill and artistry of ancient craftsmen. The atmosphere is eerie but captivating, and it’s amazing to think about the history hidden beneath the city streets. A must-visit for anyone interested in archaeology and the mysteries of ancient civilizations.

A very spiritual journey beneath the streets of Alexandria. The structure itself is breathtaking, the artistry beautiful. So much history is found in this one place. 🙏

If you are in Alexandria, a visit to the catacombs is a must. It has wonderful architecture showing how Greek and Egyption culture and practices intertwined and connected. Please make sure to have a guide with you.

Amazing catacombs from 2nd century AD. You can see combinations of Greek, Roman Egyptian culture blending there. If you don't mind walking, I would recommend you to walk to the catacombs. You get to see authentic streets, architecture and culture on the way.

Nice little museum showing the full length and breadth of Egyptian museum. I wouldn’t call it a must-visit but if you have an hour to spare, it’s certainly nice.

The Alexandria National Museum is definitely one of the must-visit landmarks when you’re in the city. The building itself was once the American consulate, now beautifully transformed into a museum. Each floor showcases artifacts from different historical periods of the region, giving you a clear sense of its rich past. One of the highlights is the collection of underwater relics recovered from the Mediterranean, along with a short video explaining how these pieces were brought to the surface. The museum isn’t very large, so you can easily tour it in about an hour. Tip: Bring your student ID for a 50% discount on the entrance fee.

Good museum that covers the history of Egypt from ancient to relatively modern. A little bit of everything. Clear exhibit labels in English and Arabic. Good air conditioning. Recommended for 1 to 2 hours of visit.

Great place although it's not very big but it has great variety and rare pieces , just the lighting needs to be better and it lacks some arrangement But highly recommended stop to visit

Foreigner ticket 220LE Foreign students ticket 110LE Not big but very educational and fun!! Various relics and detailed instruction👍👍👍 I want to visit here again P.s Watch out for the man who asks for tips - he wants me to give him 50LE😵 P.s. There was a polite cat inside the museum! Super cute🥰

No city has such rich history as Alexandria! You can step into history journey by visiting Alexandria National museum. Absolutely must see...!

Small and cozy musuem with super friendly staff, a classical baroque interior and easy to navigate floor plan. Bottom floor gives off your more typical greek museum vibe with some pharonic and mostly ptelomic pieces. Nothing you may not have seen before there but could be super worth it for hyper enthusiasts. Has some unique artifacts from the more modern era in the upper floors. Love the attention to both islamic and coptic pieces in their side by side quarters. Overall great experience, recommended.

My only complaint is they took my backpack, purse and water without giving me a ticket. Small and cute. The jewelry the Farouk's wore were definitely not understated. Cool stained glass window.

Very very cool place to visit. Tons of jewels to view, with amazing designs. Don’t miss it if your in Alexandria

The Royal Jewelry Museum in Alexandria is a beautifully preserved palace showcasing stunning jewelry and artifacts from Egypt’s royal family. With its elegant architecture and sparkling displays, it offers a charming glimpse into the country’s royal past.

It was nice , not up to what I expected of it, the jewellery were nice but what was actually stunning was the walls and windows and architecture

Very beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Stunning collection of jewels, gifts, and royal artifacts from King Farouk and the Muhammad Ali dynasty, displayed inside a former royal palace with impressive architecture. A calm and elegant museum, not too crowded, and easy to do with kids. Take note that strollers are not allowed and they will keep them at the main entrance while you visit. The visit takes about 45 minutes. Entry is 220 EGP per adult for non-Egyptians (free for kids).

Worth a visit. The building is as beautiful as the jewelry. The chess set takes the cake!!

A fascinating place, not just for its historical jewels but for the mesmerizing wall art. The paintings and gold details, inspired by Rococo and Baroque styles from Egypt’s royal era in the early 20th century, make every room feel luxurious.
