Hotels near Montaza Palace in 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.

This hotel was worth more than its price. The location was a little hard to find, and I was a little unsure as a woman traveling alone at night, but as long as I didn't leave the hotel at night, it wasn't a problem. Thanks to the warm and friendly service, I was able to spend a pleasant evening. I was prepared for the low price, but the hospitality I received was beyond my expectations. It was a hotel I would definitely like to use again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for the wonderful time and memories!

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. When I arrived, I was told that my reservation had been “accidentally cancelled,” and I ended up waiting for over an hour just to get my room. After reading the Google reviews, it seems I’m not the only one, other guests had the same issue and were even sent to another lower-quality hotel. Although I eventually got the room I originally booked, they never informed me that valet parking costs 300 EGP, and I was only told about the charge during checkout. Charging 300 EGP for parking in Egypt is honestly ridiculous. Overall, the stay was frustrating and poorly managed. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

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!

We had a great stay at the hotel. All the staff was welcoming and friendly. Germin, Hanin, and Remon were really helpful. It should be noted that the hotel is an antique hotel that was built more than 100 years ago, great for people who love antiques. The chef was also great and accommodating, actually all the staff at the restaurant were great.

Wonderful hotel in an amazing location. Old world charm with modern upgrades and amenities. Service is incredibly warm, sincere and attentive. The one highlight not to be missed is their rooftop restaurant with amazing panoramic view of the beach. Two great amenities to take advantage of - valet parking and daily happy hour with free snacks and drinks, including wine!

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.

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.
