Steigenberger Cecil Hotel Alexandria

Amazing breakfast buffet and amazing staff. The historic building holds its charm and is very well located

Cecil Steigenberger is always my favorite hotel in Alexandria. Excellent location, and very nice well maintained. However, for my 2 days stay in level 5 i faced a problem with low water pressure and no hot water as they said the boiler under maintenance. Shut down hot water in any such big hotel need to be announced and the guest will adsorb this problem or not before they come and stay and make in unpleasant surprise. I think hotel management need to take it seriously, otherwise they will slowly lose their reputation and customer loyalty

The hotel was more than wonderful, starting from the warm welcome and smooth check-in process. The professionalism of the reception staff was outstanding, as was the excellent service in the restaurant and the great variety of food offered in the buffet. The housekeeping team and the generous hospitality of Madam Samia made the stay even more special. The hotel’s location in downtown Alexandria, directly on the seaside, is truly exceptional. Watching both the sunrise and sunset with a full panoramic view of the Eastern Harbor was breathtaking — from El Silsila and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in the east all the way to the Citadel in the west. The deep blue color of the sea and the shimmering silver reflections of the sunlight on the water created an unforgettable scene. Being located in Ramleh Station, a major transportation hub, the hotel is surrounded by countless restaurants, entertainment venues, and cinemas. The historical charm of the area and Saad Zaghloul Square add even more character to the experience. The hotel’s classic architectural design carries the elegance and history of the early twentieth century, with magnificent wood craftsmanship throughout the property. Many important historical figures stayed at this hotel, including Sir Winston Churchill and the world-famous boxer Muhammad Ali. I was fortunate enough to stay in the spacious Taha Hussein Room, which had a magnificent view. This is truly one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in across

Great property, friendly staff and good location

This is my second time staying at the Cecil i love the history and everything about the hotel to me i also love the location middle of the city but I'd you prefer a quieter area that might not be the best choice for you inside the room all was perfect Mr Ali at the reception was amazing accommodating and i cannot sing enough praises for him and also the staff that handles the luggage and the room
