Transit Alexandria Hostel

Good comfortable hotel in good location with friendly staff

Nothing

Everything was excellent. The room was spacious, clean, and pleasantly scented, with large windows that made it feel bright and airy. There was also a table and chairs, which made it comfortable to sit and relax. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the small kitchenette, where it was possible to make coffee or tea, and there was also a fridge and even the option to heat up food if needed. The room temperature was very comfortable and cool. For just 100 EGP, you can order delicious breakfast, which is definitely worth it. We would also like to express our gratitude to the friendly and smiling receptionist, who kindly helped us understand Alexandria’s public transport system, making it easy and affordable for us to explore the city. The location is fantastic – right next to a modern pedestrian street as well as the Mediterranean promenade, and a local market is also just a short walk away.

The only downside was some minor plumbing issues in the bathroom, but this is quite typical for hostels in Egypt, so it wasn’t really a surprise. There was hot water and it was perfectly possible to take a shower, which is ultimately what matters most. It might also be helpful to add clearer signage at the entrance of the building. Otherwise, you have to ask the man at the entrance to confirm you’re in the right place, and he isn’t always there.

Good location and super clean in the room. It was very convenient to go Citadel of Qaitbay and the library.

We dont have hot water for whole night. The staff helped us turn on the light but it still change to cold water 5 mins later…..

Good location. Just a few meters from the sea. 20 minutes by foot from the library. Other sites and interesting points are also within the reach

The shower wasn't functioning. We had to use water from the tap to shower. The curtain is not there, so the water is splashing all over the place. And the curtain rail seemed like it's gonna fall any minute. Also, the walls are peeling off, so the whole place needs a bit of renovation...
