Arab Boutique I Alexandria I Downtown

Location & staff

Mattress was a bit lumpy

The hotel is located on the 4th floor of an old house with 4 m ceilings, no lift, it is 4 floors up. Located 5 m walk to the bibliotheca alexandrina. The house is poorly maintained, the staircase dirty. The hotel is small, only 5-6 rooms. Mine was to the street, which was very loud until late in the night. Room was tiny but with surprisingly good lighting to read. Private bathroom was a miniature but had a good working shower. Clean bedsheets, mattress not super comfortable, good pillows. No AC, only fan. There is a fridge in the common area which could be used for storage. Friendly personnel, communication in English OK.

OK for the price

the place was clean and decor was nice

there were just some inconveniences: -receptionist stays in the common area all night with lights on and talking. given the room door is mostly glass the room was too bright to sleep (had to use some sort of eye mask) and I was noisy -the street is generally noisy so i recommend people to get some earplugs to sleep -the bathroom lacked any hangers or shelves so it was very inconvenient to shower -bathroom door has glass that is not stained enough so it compromises privacy -pillows are insanely thick we couldn't sleep on them

If the property like the picture they advertised that be good

The building is so old not like the picture in the advertisement. There are in the four floors no lift, actually there are a lift but we can’t used it.
