Quaint hotel with simple, nice rooms. My room had a big window with good daylight. The school across the street can be noisy, but managable with closed window and AC. Nice staff and cozy lobby with enough space to work. Good amenities. Pleaae note, wifi is only available in lobby.

Staff hardly spoke English. Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom needed some upgrade. The shower had molds. The curtain had mold. The mirrors were very old to the point of faded away. No breakfast. No lobby. Check in area is like someone’s living room. Many pictures on hotels.com are misleading. But the location was good. Walkable to catacomb, coniche the citadel, st mark’s and Roman theater.

Stayed in an economy single. Not much space, dated, but sufficiently clean, bed was comfortable, hot water worked well. I would put it on par with a private room at a hostel. Not much in the immediate area, but also not that far from a lot of stuff. There’s a little shop almost directly across the street for snacks and water, guy was fair, not trying to scam you (about 10 EGP for a 1.5L water). I walked from the train station, and then to all the major tourist sites.

I booked an economy room for $12 per night. You get what you pay for. Paint was peeling off the wall. The room was moist. The walls where dirty. The headboard was unclean. The shower has a fabric curtain which soaks with water when you shower. The floor is not particularly clean.

They have better rooms. Book that instead. I mistakenly booked an economy room and it was not hygienic.

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel compared to the price is really good. The staff were helpful especially Mr. Mina. The location is central and close to Raml station. The one-bedroom apartment was spacious and clean, the only drawback was the electricity cut off in the whole area for 2 hours daily, so we had to wait until the electricity was back to go to the apartment which was on the 13th floor (apartments are in a separate building on 13th and 14th floors, while standard rooms are in the main building). However, the electricity problem should not be permenant and it is not the hotel's fault. Overall, our experience at Alexander the Great Hotel was very good and we will be happy to come again.

I really regret..

I hate to say it, but I really regret choosing this hotel. The room was very small. I thought it was a maid's room and felt miserable. The door of the room is also shabby compared to other rooms in this hotel.
Also Internet connection is poor in the room.
I don't think the room is good value for the cost and could have booked a better room in another hotel for the same price.
This was the worst hotel on my trip to Egypt.

Comfortable Clean Rooms

Our suite had two rooms, each with a double/queen sized bed. The furnishings were in good condition and more than adequate. Bed linens and towels were clean and towels were replaced daily. There was daily complete room service with toiletries, coffee and tea packets, etc. The room had a full-sized refrigerator, a double-burner electric cooktop and a sink. If you want to cook you need to bring pots, pans, plates, etc. since there were none of those and only minimal cutlery. We didn't cook so it wasn't an issue. The only negative was that the shower door didn't close completely which resulted in some water on the bathroom floor. There was plenty of hot water for showers. Wifi worked fine. The price is very reasonable for the level of service and facilities so I definitely recommend it.

Lots of room with three bedrooms. It is not a Fairmont, but for the price I have paid triple that and gotten far less, so it was excellent. The photos on the website are reasonably accurate.

The hotel is within walking distance to the night markets and the front. Will definitely re-use this hotel if I return to Alexandria.

During my fortnight trip around North of Egypt, this was the best place I stayed in.

For Egypt is satisfactory!

Staff is quite helpful. In spite of central location difficult to find, even for taxi driver. Rooms are small, but equipped and not as ones as shown on pictures. Bathes are in rooms without good isolation, so be careful when taking shower if do not want of flooding of your room. NO WIFI in rooms

Important note for finding hotel: Hotel is right behind or ahead (depending on of your coming direction) of Greek church

This is an acceptable hotel

Look we got to the hotel so we took a room that was theoretically identical to our original room just in a different location. It was in a building adjacent to the main complex in the 13th floor accessible through an alley.

The view was good.

The room was clean.

The bathroom was clean but the shower doors were falling off their hinges.

The elevator was a bit sketchy.

The people were very nice housekeeping etc.

The check in is up 1.5 flights of stairs. It’s a bit confusing as you think you have reached reception— there is a desk but no one there and no sign. You have to go up another flight.

Wi-Fi is pretty spotty.

It’s perfectly fine as a place to spend the night but that’s pretty much it. If you know what you are in for you are fine if you think you are getting more amenities then no so fine.

Room was different from pictures online

I was given a room that looks nothing like the photos online, the mirrors were broken, the water heater was falling apart in the bathroom, the room was like a closet, tiny room which had been converted for sleeping and the extra blanket I was given because I was cold stunk, was dirty, not washed or laundered.
I cancelled my last night stay on expedia almost two full days in advance, they would not answer the phone calls from expedia and refused to give me a refund for the last night I had requested a refund. I had two rooms booked and lost the money on both.
This hotel is also in an out of the way area, very hard to find.
I would never go back there.

Great room and facilities for the price.
Everything I wanted in terms of a room for the price.
Location was quiet and safe and walking distance from train station.
Room was clean and spacious and comfortable. Most importantly it was very quiet at night for sleeping.
WiFi only worked in the front office but this was only a minor inconvenience.
I found shopping for meals 10-15 mins walk away for my Australian tastes.
I would certainly return here next visit.

Inexpensive hotel

Good hotel to not spend much cash and close to tourist attractions. No luxuries and included breakfast is actually good and varied. Make sure to go to Delices, a famous restaurant known for its pastries, established in 1922. The Citadel closes at 4PM (Google says 5PM), so plan accordingly and enjoy the sunset after touring the inside of the Citadel.

On the exterior nothing special but interiorly well designed, clean ,spacious. Pleasantly surprised. Air con and Wi-Fi in good working order. Breakfast sunstainsial and varied. A 'GEM' by egyptian standards. Only downside is the noise from the school adjacent that wakes you up early!
