We had to wait quite long before the check in tjme at 2:00 PM because the room wasn’t ready and when we entered the room the floor was still wet from after cleaning, also they couldn’t find the balcony key took for us to lock it and they kept telling us no need it’s already safe but the balconies are so close to the others right next to us so anyone can access.

A wonderful and affordable hotel for being so centrally located in Alexandria and you don't notice much of the main road that runs behind the hotel. Unfortunately I got there the night before and was away on a tour in Alexandria the whole day after before I went on to Cairo. Therefore I didn't have time to use the pool or beach but both looked tempting. The breakfast was wonderful but not the dinner, ordered grilled seafood the first night but got (and paid for) a very simple seafood soup. Ordered grilled seafood the second night as well and then I got it, but... The food must have been waiting for a long time because everything on the plate was cold and the shells were stuck together to the shrimps. Didn't have time to complain because I was going on to Cairo, but it was the worst grilled seafood I've ever eaten.

When we arrived at 7pm, we were informed that no double‑bed room was available, despite having specifically requested it and noting this in our booking. We were instead offered a king room, or a king room with a crib, neither of which was acceptable, particularly given that we were on vacation and had paid extra for a sea‑view room. After some back‑and‑forth, we were eventually given two king‑size bedrooms, but both rooms had multiple issues. Although the design was modern, the quality did not meet five‑star standards. In my room, the fridge was leaking, the safe was not functioning, and the water was not warm enough for a bath, requiring several maintenance visits. During my stay I heard a weird water sound (flushing) several times, I did not figure out what it was until the day I was leaving, turns out the toilet seat flushes on its own, and no it is not a sensor based seat.. it is a manual flushing toilet. I am generally not demanding when it comes to food, and I am familiar with Arab cuisine, but the breakfast was below basic expectations, not even in line with what one would find in a three‑star hotel. While the staff tried their best to resolve issues, and were generally nice, it was such a disappointing stay.

The good: Decent breakfast, nice pool (closes as early as 6:30pm), private beach, view from the room balcony, friendly bellman and breakfast staff. The not so good: Loud DJ music and noise by the pool area just below our room late into the night despite complaining to the front office about it. Thankfully I had ear plugs to dampen the noise and go to sleep. Dirty carpet and bed sheet/pillow cases in our room with hair and dark stains, leading to a room change after complaining to the general manager who apologized for the room’s condition but thought it could be related to the washing machine. One of the pool attendants or life guards was rude to my significant other taking away an umbrella she was using by the pool area without asking her or acknowledging her presence or apologizing even after she let him know she was using that umbrella.

There is sewerage odor , although they are cleaner coming every day but looks a problem construction. The cleaning or room is superficial because if you move the sofa , you will find surprises. Otherwise the staffs are very kind.
