Plaza Hotel Alexandria stands on El Gueish Avenue in the San Stefano area, a modern part of the waterfront east of downtown. The hotel has 133 rooms, including standard and executive doubles, family rooms and suites, and most have sea or partial sea views. It has an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a bar, a coffee shop and a business centre, with free wifi and 24-hour room service. San Stefano Grand Plaza, with shops and cafes, is a one-minute walk away.
Location and getting around
The hotel is close to San Stefano Grand Plaza and within walking distance of the Royal Jewelry Museum and the Mahmoud Said Museum. The Corniche is only a short drive away, and you can reach the downtown sights, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Citadel by taxi or ride-hailing in about twenty to thirty minutes in light traffic. The area suits visitors who like a modern district with shops and food nearby.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with air conditioning and views that range from sea to city. The hotel suits budget-minded couples, small groups and families who want a larger room at a moderate price. It does not have a pool, so it is better for sightseers than for resort-style stays. Standards are those of a solid four-star, and guest ratings are good rather than glowing.
Good to know
Breakfast is available, but check whether it is included in your rate. Parking is a paid extra, so ask about the current price. Book a sea-view room when you can, and confirm the room type before arrival. For a historic atmosphere, choose a downtown heritage hotel instead; for beach facilities, look to the larger resorts.
