It was a lovely peaceful place to stay after the busyness of Alexandria. We had our own private beach and lovely restaurants as part of the complex. We would definitely stay here again. Room was great with a lovely view overlooking the sea and we were high up with a verandah. Lovely classy spacious lobby area. more

What a surprise this property was. We stayed one night as part of an Egypt tour. It appears every room has an ocean view. Our room was quite modern and roomy. The hotel overall was very attractive, set in a 350 acre royal garden. The breakfast buffet was very good, and the outside bar was nice and cool in the... more

Very dissapointing, especially the food !! We had spent a week in Cairo at an amazing 5 star hotel and expected the same standard. we were very disappointed. Some days we ate practically nothing and in the end ate at another fantastic 5 star hotel a taxi ride away. We were expecting to access the beach , as the photographs... more

The Helnan Palestine Hotel is a hotel with history, but has failed to keep up with the times. Our rooms were fine, beds comfortable. The food was OK, but not outstanding. The lobby was under construction, so we had to smell storng paint and glue odors while we ate in the dining room off the lobby. The waiters opened windows... more

My wife and I stayed for two nights as part of a tour organised through Kuoni. This is a pleasant modern hotel insulated from the chaotic street life of Alexandria by being inside a guarded park. Our room was modern and well maintained. Expect to be woken at dawn by amplified calls to prayer from the mosque next door. The... more

We stayed at this hotel in October, 2007. Its location is spectacular but, the service is horrible. The manager and clerks at the desk are not very nice they misled us. We arrived at the hotel at 5.00pm and was checked in to a room that was poorly maintained. There was meldew on the walls, leaks in the bathroom and... more

Our travel agent had booked us here to give us some down time from the noise of the cities we had been visiting. It is several miles from downtown Alexandria and if you are ok with that it is a nice hotel to stay at. It is located in the Montazah Gardens of the Palace. Pros: The room, restaurant and... more
