Cecil Steigenberger is where I truly feel at home. Its perfect location overlooks the beautiful Alexandrian waters, with the vibrant hustle and bustle of downtown just behind. The hotel’s classic look and feel, give it a sense of timeless charm. Staff are exceptionally welcoming, always smiling, greeting warmly, and ready to guide. The reception team has improved greatly, Wasef was amazing, very accommodating, and welcoming. Yaser, I have no words except to say you truly make the place feel like home. The housekeeping staff deserve a special mention too, they’re honest, thorough, and treat your space and belongings with the same care as if it were their own. A special highlight of my stay was the thoughtful surprise from the hotel, a whole chocolate cake for my birthday! It was such a kind, unexpected and much appreciated gesture.

Everyone was really friendly and helpful. They made sure that we're comfortable. Rooms and breakfast restaurant are very clean. A large variety of food for breakfast. The gentleman at the reception upgraded our back room to a bigger one with a sea view, with no extra charge, and without us asking. A very nice gesture. Hotel's location is superb, too.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Alexandria, conveniently close to all the city's renowned facilities and famous shopping destinations. The staff were wonderful - incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. The location is simply unbeatable, placing you within easy reach of everything Alexandria has to offer. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Their attentive service and willingness to assist with any requests made a real difference to my overall experience.

Very rare things in life maintain their quality. We often hear this: it was very good but unfortunately that was in the past. Cecil Hotel is stunningly maintaining and even improving the quality and luxury of service offered by a historical and classic hotel in the heart of Alexandria. My mother stayed here 70 years ago and she said that it was the best hotel in Alexandria back in 1954. Today, I confirm with full confidence that it is still one of the best hotels in Alexandria. The location, the friendly staff going extra miles to please the guests, the breakfast buffet where you can easily spend 2 hours 🤭, the house keeping, the bell captain.. every single person is doing his best to please and serve the guest. This attitude is definitely cascaded from the top management to the last junior staff at the hotel. Thank you for a very pleasant stay at Cecil Hotel Steigenberger.
