First of all, let me start off with the good. The location is great, which usually matters most to me. Although, given how cheap taxis are in Egypt, this could be less of a concern. And unfortunately, that's this hotels strongest asset. The staff were also very nice, friendly and helpful can't complain there. Now let's get into the bad of which we'll unfortunately there's much more of. First of all, WiFi is only available in reception, not in the room it's a BIG ISSUE and should be addressed. Thankfully, we had some spare data. Second of all, cleanliness the floor was not vacuumed at all! They asked if they should clean the room on the second day and I said just vacuume please they said they don't have one and they just do normal clean! Like what how can you not vacuume the floors! Second of all the wardrobe it wasn't wiped down at all. I had to wipe it down before putting my clothes in, and the toilet paper was pure black. The bedsheet seemed clean however there was a large burnt hole on the side. Room was a good size but the bathroom was really small. With a really crappy small shower that barely worked in terms of water pressure. Although at least they gave you free shampoo and shower gel. You only get 2 large towels. Ideally, this should be 4 one for the feet when you get out, one for hands, and 2 large for shower. Final point the price, food is WAY OVERPRICED! Both days we went to the Windsor Palace Hotel to the blue harbour rooftop restaurant that had an amazing view and cheapest food with better choice. Even tea coffee or water isn't included not to mention breakfast. Which costs 200 with prices up to 500 for a main meal. So we definitely didn't eat there can't talk about the quality of food but considering how they "clean" the room I wouldn't want to try. Also its right across is a school so it gets very loud in the morning. Now in terms of room price in Egypt in other places you can get a much much better Hotel in other places eg we stayed in Giza for 26USD with a large room amazing bathroom breakfast included and Pyramid view. It was called King Pyramids View. Unfortunately this isn't Giza it's alexandria and in terms of other options in a similar price range I didn't see anything much better that was close by. If you are planning a short stay then this Hotel is a maybe but if your staying for longer which I don't know why you would considering how dirty and disgusting Alexandria is. But if your interested in some sites it's ok for 1 day.
