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.

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

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

Amazing old world charm. Def stay there. Great cocktails and service was very friendly and helpful by everyone. Nice bed. Some rooms may be noisy for some people if you are on the main road. Our room had a plumbing smell in the bathroom..not sure if others do.

The historic character & beautiful old elevators are wonderful. The staff is kind & helpful. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection but wasn’t delicious. The coffee wasn’t very nice. We’ll be happy to return, of course.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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.
