Nice French 18 century style

The location is excellent very walkable to many different places. Get off the beaten path take a walk up to the Catacombs it’s an eye opener to see how the people of Alexandria really live. Eat at one of the local restaurants not the tourist spots. Had a great lunch at Gad they have many locations throughout Egypt.

A weird experience to be honest. It literally feels like you are stepping back 100 years when you walk in.. Very odd, old scented smell throughout the whole place (not sure if it’s on purpose or hiding something) which was a bit overpowering. Staff on reception, especially the girls, are really friendly and helpful. Only had breakfast once, but it was not impressive - by the time I got there - circa 8:30am there was just scraps of food left with no sign of replenishment. I ate twice at the restaurant on the roof. View is tremendous and food was decent at a reasonable price. The resident old crooner they have singing is not to my taste… and perhaps suits the majority French residents more. First meal, they brought my starter and hot main course out within just a few minutes of each other, while I was less than half way through the starter. Second meal, I sat waiting for my desert at an empty table for 15 minutes until I chased. I think I enjoyed the experience (though definitely weird).. The hotel is old and run down in places, but this adds to the quirky character. I would stay again, but would prioritise the Cecil Hotel from what I have seen of them both.

The staff was very accommodating and professional. The rooftop restaurant was amazing with incredible views and live singing. The atmosphere was wonderful, you feel you are transformed to the elegant twenties. The housekeeping staff were amazing, I had forgotten my ship boarding card and few hundred Euros and I was amazed to receive a text message from the hotel informing me that they found my missing card and cash and I was able to retrieve them at the front desk. Really appreciate the front desk staff (Rana and Basant) and specifically the housekeeping ladies (Shaimaa and Doha). Will definitely stay there on my next trip to Alexandria,

Old fashioned hotel with a great rooftop view and food

Lovely colonial building and loved every corner of the hotel. Bathroom is quite large and very clean. Bedroom is nicely set similar to Victorian style. Even the windows are soundproof, it was not easy to get few hours of sleep on Friday night. Shared the concern with the hotel management. Maybe rooms facing the Main Street needs more strong sound proofing system.

I had the most terrible stay ever in my life. The hotel staff are not friendly , services are terrible , Aircon, break down frequently, they start painting the walls and the rooms adjacent to my room in the afternoon and when I came back to hotel in the evening I smelled the paints vapors from a distance . I could hardly stay in my room , my eyes kept tearing and burning all night long. Over all I do not recommend this hotel at all

It was a wonderful location, and the hotel offers afternoon tea /snack. Having breakfast on the rooftop was so great. A experience.

Excellent facility and staff. The area around the hotel is downtown Alexandria. It’s crowded and a bit noisy during the summer season but definitely walkable and close to many landmarks. If you would like a nice facility with great breakfast, I highly recommend Metropole!

Funky hotel with some charm and friendly staff.

This hotel is a beautiful old building from 1902. It has been well preserved and was a wonderful place to stay. We loved the old escalator, the rooftop terrace restaurant and having booked a ‘direct sea view’ room we had a fabulous view from our hotel window of the sea and the historic Fort Qaitbay. Service was top notch from the moment we stepped through the front door and the food was excellent, too. We highly recommend this hotel.

I like the well preserved period atmosphere at Le Metropole. The public areas and my room were clean and well furnished in period style. The hotel is well located with easy and safe access to the sea front as well as the city. All the staff were helpful and polite. The rooftop resultant was great and a nice place to eat and drink with great views of the eastern harbour. I will stay again and have no hesitation recommend it as a good place to stay in Alexandria……..

Welcome and check-in process was delightful. Historic building with authentic room's decoration. Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location and view. The food quality was superior.

This is an incredible hotel with interesting history, amazing complimentary amuse-bouche, roof top restaurant and great location in the heart of Alexandria by the beach promenade.

It is a great view and nice area, luxurious old school furniture

Excellent
