Hotels near Montaza Palace, Alexandria

The hotel is located in a fairly quiet part of the city, away from the highways and the droning traffic. There are two huge swimming pools with water temperatures of 27°C in March. It's a beautiful three-story building. The hotel is new; a palace is being completed. As I understand it, they'll be hosting events here. There are restaurants on the first and second floors. During Ramadan, both are open buffet style. There's plenty of food, but nothing particularly appealing. They serve omelets for breakfast. We stayed for a week, and all week I kept saying and showing that I wanted scrambled eggs, but the chef only made a tasteless omelet in a puddle of oil. Eventually, I gave up and stopped ordering it. The porridge is tasteless. We went there for dinner 2-3 times. The food was delicious a couple of times. The rest of the time, the only edible items were the shashlik and vegetables. The rooms are large and clean, everything is fine. The food, however, is not so great. The staff is polite.

It was incredible time staying in Galaxy Hostel. I have so many great memories from this experience. When I was ill from food poisoning owner Charlie gave me medicine and the even cooked me a soup and some drink from poisoning. I feel myself like in home there, I guess that’s the most highly rating. Everybody was really nice to me and I felt so good there! I can’t even describe how good that hostel is! If you want to stay in Alexandria that’s for sure perfect place for you. Thanks everybody I’m really glad that I was able to live there

Right by the sea, but the traffic downstairs can be quite noisy. The breakfast is rich and delicious, served on the top floor with amazing sea views. The service is good, but the rooms are a bit old. It's fine for a one-night stay as a temporary过渡.

First time staying here. **Environment:** Pretty good! It's right next to a shopping mall and pedestrian street. The lobby is lush with greenery, and the hotel next door is also very nice. The downstairs restaurants are decent too. I tried a Thai place, and the noodles were sweet, with crushed peanuts and white sugar added – I barely ate anything and just paid and left. Definitely avoiding that next time! **Facilities:** What's odd is that the shower stall is half-open. Every time I shower, water splashes everywhere. I remember previous Hilton stays often had this, and even other Hiltons I've stayed at since have the same design! Another strange thing is that this hotel always has mirrors facing the bed!

This is a very old hotel, and the main entrance lacks wheelchair accessibility, which was a bit inconvenient. Once you get to the lobby, there's a vintage elevator that goes to the top floor. All the staff were very enthusiastic and provided excellent service. The room was quite small and cramped, and the mattress was a bit too soft. The facilities were very outdated, with some obvious stains. However, the bathroom had been renovated and was very clean. The rooftop restaurant for breakfast offered fantastic views, which made up for half the room rate, and the breakfast itself was also good. A nice bonus was the daily happy hour from 6 PM for an hour, offering complimentary snacks, desserts, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages, which was pretty good.

We had a wonderful stay here. We stayed with them in Cairo before, and we chose to stay with them again in Alexandria. Both experiences were perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the place was very clean, and everything worked perfectly. The location is also great, and overall, the whole experience was excellent. I’m honestly trying to think of anything negative to mention, but there really isn’t anything. I truly enjoyed my stay, and this will definitely be my favorite place to stay in Alexandria, whether I’m traveling with friends, family, or even by myself.

Tired sometimes but nice apartment. Perfect location: on the seaside, close to the Carrefour market and Drinkies, good restaurants and coffee shops. WiFi is super poor. Street noise in the room may bother you during the night — but it’s the general problem in Egypt.

My son and I stayed at this lovely place while visiting Alexandria. The apartment's location is wonderful; the coast is right at your fingertips, and all the attractions are within walking distance. We chose the loft room and were very pleased. The room was clean, cozy, and had everything a traveler needs. The photos from the balcony with a view of the Mediterranean bay left us with the warmest memories. We would gladly stay at Grey L Studio Apartments again on our next visit to beautiful Alexandria!

The hotel has great potential and a wonderful location, which could make it an excellent option for travelers visiting Alexandria. It offers good value for money in theory, but unfortunately, the current management does not fully reflect this potential. Some aspects of service need significant improvement — starting from the reception and housekeeping to the kitchen and café plus an operating free wifi. The staff seem to be doing their best, but they clearly need stronger professional guidance and management oversight to meet the standards expected from a hotel in such a prime location. During my stay, parts of the hotel were under renovation, and the construction work caused some disturbance throughout the day. While it’s understandable that improvements require time, better scheduling or communication with guests would have made the experience more comfortable. Overall, the hotel could become a top choice in Alexandria with proper management and attention to guest comfort. I truly hope the owners invest in professional leadership to make the most of this great property.

The Gem in Alexandria! Brief: For anyone in doubt: this is the coolest hotel! Location: This pearl is situated right in the city center. It’s the best choice for visiting attractions. You can find many hotels outside the Medina, but that wouldn’t be the ”real” Alexandria. The Library of Alexandria, the Citadel, many churches, mosques, and fish restaurants are all very close to the hotel. 10/10 Food and Drinks: The breakfast is great. The menu varies by day (it seems to depend on the number of guests), offering either a buffet (smorgasbord) or set dishes. Either way, it’s delicious. Additionally, you’ll enjoy a spectacular view from the restaurant during breakfast and dinner. 10/10 Accommodation: This is a true early 20th-century hotel. It features a vintage lift, high ceilings, and beautiful wood paneling. I stayed in a room with a balcony and a partial sea view. Despite being near the highway, it was surprisingly quiet and calm. The bedding was comfortable, and the room temperature was perfect (even with +10°C at night and +18°C during the day outdoors). 10/10 Service: Very pleasant staff with a good command of English. The hotel team is truly eager to help with any request—whether it's finding a bank, a currency exchange, a bus station, or local attractions. 10/10 Cleanliness: Everything was spotless—the bathroom, balcony, and beds. Overall Impression: Book this hotel now and come back again! I fell completely in love with this place and Alexandria. European tourists might try to nitpick small disadvantages, but they are insignificant compared to the charm of this amazing hotel.
