Le Metropole Luxury Heritage Hotel Since 1902 by Paradise Inn Group
Old-fashioned hotel that you makes you feel luxurious. Great location near the Mediterreanean. Check-in and check-out processes can be frustratingly slow, as is the elevator. But overall, a solid hotel when in Alexandria.

Steigenberger Cecil Hotel
Fantastic large room with high ceilings and great view. Location means there is traffic noise past midnight, but that doesn’t bother us - just steps to the Corniche. Best location in Alexandria. Bed was very comfy! Internet a bit weak.
