“The Steigenberger Cecil Hotel Alexandria impresses with its prime harbor-side location, a blend of historical charm and modern updates. Its proximity to attractions like Qaitbay Fort and the Alexandria Library is a definite plus. However, noise-sensitive guests might want to consider the sound levels, particularly from the bar.”

mixed feelings about the stay
street noisebathroom odor
I wasn't entirely happy with the noise levels. the windows didn't block out the street noise very well. It made it hard to sleep. also, the bathroom had a strange odor i couldn't get rid of it, so i had to keep the door closed the whole time. apply, twice.

the hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the train station and the library. i loved the sea views and the lively square right by the hotel. i spent hours on the balcony watching the activity, it was so romantic.
The room i was given initially had a noticeable smell of smoke. I even needed to wash my clothes after my stay. it really bothered me.
