I must say I was impressed by the fanciness of this place, since I've never stayed at such an expensive place before, but it simply wasn't worth it. We went all out and got the more expensive sea view room, a HUGE MISTAKE. The view of the Mediterranean was amazing but we noticed during the day that there was a... more

The Windsor Palace is undisputedly a beautiful old building in a great location on the Corniche, but given the high price (155$ for a Junior Suite) was disappointing and let down by many small failings, mostly due to poor management. My room was huge and well decorated, although a little scuffed. Despite being assured to the contrary when I booked... more

Alexandria was my favorite place in Egypt. The climate was a welcome relief from the dust and dirt of Upper Egypt, and the city's decaying European architecture was captivating. The Windsor Palace was utterly charming and brought back childhood memories of my first trip to Europe. The hotel could use some sprucing up and the workmanship of some repairs could... more

Two of our fellow travellers had stayed there prior to starting the tour and said... more

I thought this was a truly wonderful hotel with lots of charm. I stayed at the hotel with two Egyptian Friends. We had the most beautiful rooms one on 4th floor one on 5th floor both with sea views. As mentioned in previous review there was a lot of traffice noise but this was Alexandria. The staff were very polite... more

It has been 15 years since I've visited Alexandria and when I finally decided to spend a couple of nights there with my family, I decided to go with the well established name of the Windsor, but boy what a disappointment we had. At the moment of the reservation, we have requested two Superior Seaview rooms on a high floor... more
