Hotels near Qaitbay Citadel, Alexandria

Everything was great. The neighborhood is lovely - clean and not crowded at all. There's a private beach. Everything is new and modern. Breakfast had a good selection, and I especially loved the fresh strawberry and guava juices, and the beef patties.

My mother and I came for a couple of days and had a wonderful time. This is exactly what we were looking for: a few days in Cairo followed by an uninterrupted stay at a beachfront hotel in Alexandria. The resort is huge, so we never got bored and always found something to do. We attended the daily evening shows/performances on the beach, did water sports, swam in different pools and on the various beaches, visited the spa, and tried all the restaurants within the hotel grounds (which had reasonable prices). You can always request a golf cart to get to all locations, and all the staff are friendly and smiling, always ready to help. We checked out very early in the morning, so the day before, we requested breakfast boxes. To our surprise, we noticed at the airport that these huge boxes and nice bags contained just a couple of dry croissants and two slices of cake. It's not a major negative, but we were expecting a more substantial breakfast, considering it was included in the price. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! 🥰

The Four Seasons in Egypt was the worst experience I had. The hotel or its agents seem to deliberately create communication barriers to make exorbitant profits. It was already a very expensive stay, but they still found every opportunity to charge even more. Aside from its advantageous location with good views, there was nothing else good about it. We didn't cancel the room, but they said the agent had cancelled it. When we asked to change the guest's name, they said it couldn't be changed because the agent hadn't sent an email requesting a change! I booked it for a friend, and in the end, my friend had to pay again, and the crucial point is that the amount was 50% higher than what I had prepaid!

We booked the hotel for one night. The room description mentioned a hairdryer and bathrobes, but upon arrival, none of these were available. The room itself was old, and the curtains on one side of the window were torn and didn't close completely, letting in light in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep. The hotel markets itself as a 5-star property, but unfortunately, there were no toothbrushes or slippers. The hotel's location, however, is excellent!

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.

I have stayed at Hilton Cairo Heliopolis many times, and I generally love Hilton properties wherever I go. I just checked out after a one-night stay at Hilton Corniche Alexandria. This stay was meant to help us decide which hotel to book for the remaining 13 nights of our trip. Unfortunately, Hilton Alexandria was not the right choice for us. The hotel itself is beautiful and meets the physical standards you’d expect from Hilton. However, the staff experience was the worst I’ve ever had at any Hilton property. Check-in was very slow, and no information was provided at all. We only discovered that the hotel had beach access by pure accident—after we had already checked out. At the buffet, service was extremely slow, with orders either missing or incorrect. Upon departure, I did what I always do: I called reception to confirm checkout and ensure there was no outstanding balance. I was clearly told everything was settled and that we were free to leave. After we had already left the hotel, a valet ran after me and my wife in the street and asked us to return because “they wanted to talk.” We were brought back only to be lectured by a reception employee (female, dark hair, glasses) about how I should have come to the desk despite already calling. There was no issue, no balance, and nothing to resolve—she simply lectured me and then let us go. This was unnecessary, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. She could have easily checked the room balance herself instead of calling us back in such a cheap and embarrassing way

The location is perfect with beach and resort is beautiful. However, the room was okay not too bad or not too good. It could be better as promised while booking that we will get sea view. The overall experience is good. It was enjoyable and can’t love more about the location.

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 hotel is OK, close to the beach, but the facilities look a bit old, but overall it is good. There is a KFC fast food restaurant outside, so it is convenient to eat. You can consider

Breakfast is served in the style of a local hotel, and you can think of it as a 3.5-star rather than an old 4-star. Cigarettes are required in the lobby hahaha But I don't want to go there again next time. Perhaps all the rooms have a sea view, but it would be better to get a room with a balcony, which has the greatest strength.
