The hotel is just by the Corniche and easy walking distance into the bustling Alexandria shopping area so by definition the ambient noise outside is high. Lots of history and the Monty Bar is apparently where Field Marshal Montgomery stayed while planning the North Africa campaign. The hotel decoration is a little tired but the staff are very helpful and... More

The building carries a lot of history, and it is serious impressive, but at certain point you need to shower, sleep and eat well. It was noisy! The A/C was right above the bed and blowing down, and at the time it was hot, so I could not imagine sleeping without an A/C but I could not have it blowing... More

Do not expect a lot of amenities in the Cecil Hotel.

The hotel is very centrally located a 15 minutes walking... More

This hotel has a long history, highlighted by stays of the great and famous. Its location is perfect, right on the Corniche and on the corner of a major square. It has a delightful elevator that still runs well after what must be over a hundred years of service. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was huge and... More
