My stay at the Steigenberger Cecil Hotel Alexandria was overall enjoyable, highlighted by its beautiful design and friendly staff. However, I did experience some issues with noise from renovations and the slow elevator, which impacted my relaxation. The breakfast spread was good, but I wished there could have been more variety.

My stay at the Steigenberger Cecil Hotel was quite nice. The location on the Corniche is unbeatable, allowing easy access to the city's attractions.

I had a pretty nice stay at the Steigenberger Cecil Hotel. The location is perfect, right on the Corniche with some stunning sea views. The rooms have a charming old-fashioned vibe, but some parts of the hotel show their age. The staff was friendly and helpful, though the front desk service could use a little more training. Overall, it's a solid choice for a short stay or if you're on a business trip.
