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.

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.
