Turn of the century European elegance describes this best; I expected Agatha Christie to walk down the hallway! Slightly faded, but kept in excellent condition. I was sat down with a fancy tea tray of goodies and cool Hibiscus tea while the front desk checked me in. My room was lovely. The bathroom was very luxurious (although more counter space would've been nice -- but it is a hundred plus year old hotel). Paid extra for ocean view and it was worth every penny. At dinner, the hosts wore white gloves and an Italian solo singer entertained. The stay was worth it just to use the ancient quaint elevator. And because Egyptian prices are lower than USA, I could actually afford something that in Europe would've been way beyond my price range. Loved every minute.

This hotel is a beautiful old building from 1902. It has been well preserved and was a wonderful place to stay. We loved the old escalator, the rooftop terrace restaurant and having booked a ‘direct sea view’ room we had a fabulous view from our hotel window of the sea and the historic Fort Qaitbay. Service was top notch from the moment we stepped through the front door and the food was excellent, too. We highly recommend this hotel.

Old-fashioned hotel that you makes you feel luxurious. Great location near the Mediterreanean. Check-in and check-out processes can be frustratingly slow, as is the elevator. But overall, a solid hotel when in Alexandria.

It's a fun vintage hotel. They have a cage elevator like in an Agatha Christie novel (lt runs incredibly quiet without any chatter). Rooms are nice with high ceilings, beautiful sheets and very clean. The top floor offers a lovely breakfast with a view and the location is very convenient to getting around the city with the tram to the library, jewelry museum just outside the door. It's extremely close to the Roman Greco museum and opera house. Service in the hotel is very very friendly.

I like the well preserved period atmosphere at Le Metropole. The public areas and my room were clean and well furnished in period style. The hotel is well located with easy and safe access to the sea front as well as the city. All the staff were helpful and polite. The rooftop resultant was great and a nice place to eat and drink with great views of the eastern harbour. I will stay again and have no hesitation recommend it as a good place to stay in Alexandria……..

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, beim Empfang gab es zwei Gäser Saft, kleines Knabberzeug und eine Rose. Kühlschrank war warm. Das Badezimmer hat nur eine Regendusche, was bedeuted dass auch die Haare nass werden. Es gab leider keine Duschkappe, keine Wattestäbchen keine Wattepads, kein Glas zum Zähneputzen. Frühstücksbuffet war sehr arm ich kann es nicht empfehlen.

Lovely colonial building and loved every corner of the hotel. Bathroom is quite large and very clean. Bedroom is nicely set similar to Victorian style. Even the windows are soundproof, it was not easy to get few hours of sleep on Friday night. Shared the concern with the hotel management. Maybe rooms facing the Main Street needs more strong sound proofing system.

The hotel itself is really great. Old world luxury vibes. The elevator is great. Best breakfast I had in Egypt, although not saying much! The little balcony is cool, with the perfect view of the water. Staff is excellent, super helpful, well trained and courteous although the "security" is hilarious because the metal detector goes off on everyone and they just waive them through, myself included. All of this said - I can still hear the sound of car horns honking a week later. From 430 am to at least 1 am every day. Super, super loud car horns. They need to do a better job of soundproofing the rooms.

Beautiful historic hotel in a convenient location. Rooftop restaurant was very good. The staff was extremely attentive. Unfortunately the heat in our room did not function. They tried to fix it three times to no avail. We were okay with an extra blanket at this time of year, but it was chilly. Also, the hot water was just barely above warm, not hot enough. As the building is over 100 years old this is not entirely surprising, and the French colonial style decor was lovely.

The atmosphere was wonderful, you feel you are transformed to the elegant twenties. The housekeeping staff were amazing, I had forgotten my ship boarding card and few hundred Euros and I was amazed to receive a text message from the hotel informing me that they found my missing card and cash and I was able to retrieve them at the front desk. Really appreciate the front desk staff (Rana and Basant) and specifically the housekeeping ladies (Shaimaa and Doha). Will definitely stay there on my next trip to Alexandria,

This hotel is a real slice of history, a step back into the messy past of the city. OK its not exactly all mod cons but if you want charm right at the heart of the city, this is for you. its a noisy place, steps from the waterfront, steps from the local bazaars and market places. Whats not to love? And of course the rooftop restaurant is your own slice of a travel glossy. the stand out thing though was the friendliness of the staff.... Don't expect western style luxury but enjoy something really rather unique. A one off.

The location is excellent very walkable to many different places. Get off the beaten path take a walk up to the Catacombs it’s an eye opener to see how the people of Alexandria really live. Eat at one of the local restaurants not the tourist spots. Had a great lunch at Gad they have many locations throughout Egypt.
