Some accommodations are in a separate nearby building, and photos or amenities may not always match expectations. Breakfast is limited or absent for some guests. A few reviewers report unwelcoming service, maintenance problems, or issues at check-in. Overall, expect a basic, good-value stay that depends heavily on the room you book.

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.

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.

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.

We stayed at a studio in a building nearby, not where the hotel rooms are. The studio is roomy, well equipped, with a refrigerator and electric kettle, but unfortunately, there is no microwave oven. The nearest supermarket a 10-minute walk away.

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.

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.

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.
