This hotel is situated in the grounds of King Farouk's old palace in Alexandria and is surrounded by lush gardens. It says its the best hotel in Alex but Im afraid that its not. First impresions are good - large clean reception area and friendly check in. The room was quite nice, over looking the sea and the palace but... more

It's one of the biggest hotels in Alexandria, and is located in a very prime area, close to the beach and the shopping complexes. The rooms we stayed in were not the expensive ones, and therefore quite dingy, but they were a hop-skip and jump to the pool, which is absolutely marvelous! The breakfast was good, staff very friendly, so... more

I stayed at Helnan Palestine as part of the INSIGHT tour program. We are about 30 people, mostly Australian and Canadian. The interior of the hotel and the room were ok, but it’s the rudeness of the staff that I cannot stand it. During our stay there, Internet in the business center was constantly down. On the first day, when... more

In my opinion, this is still the best hotel in Alexandria, location is out of this world, in a lush semi-private park overlooking the Mediterrenean, rooms are huge with balconies, the buffet breakfast fantastic, the staff nice and helpful.It's not as fancy as the Four Seasons, but this hotel is 5 star all the way and costs less than one... more

I think that you come here for the views and surroundings -- in the gardens, looking over the water --on a nice day the views are great. A number of locals we met told us that they thought it was the best hotel in Alexandria for views. It is on the edge of the city --which given Alexandria is very... more

The place is going throught a renovation that no one mentioned when we booked !! with all the noise nd the inconveiece this was not the worst part. we were... more

The Helnan Palestine was truly the best place we stayed during our 18 day tour of Egypt. It far exceeded the places we stayed in Cairo, and the view was amazing. Our room was enormous, with a king size bed and a balcony overlooking a small harbour, the sea, and with a view of King Farouk's guest palace. The only... more

The drive to this surprisingly secluded hotel in Alexandria featured beautiful garden scenery. The modern appearing lobby was accented with polished marble and decorative glass. A sitting area in the lobby overlooked a verdant garden area. We booked this room through a Trafalgar tour, and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. We received a welcome fruit basket in our room... more

The best feature of this hotel is the location – on the waterfront with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea from the balcony. The room was ok with standard hotel facilities, but the bathroom was grotty. We were given a complimentary small tray of dried dates and a keyring (some sort of lamp) on arrival. We had some problems with... more
