Staff was helpful. Problems started upon entering our room. while some were small problems, the accumulation of small left a very bad experience. Room was very small, TV did not work, bedside lamp did not work, no pillows for bed, air conditioner never, ever cooled the room, two hangers in closet for two people. Worst was the incredibly moldy shower... more

Alexandria is a great place to visit and the Windsor Palace is centrally located on the Corniche. Our room was very large. The old style elevator is a bonus. There is a good restaurant on the roof with great views of the harbour. more

This hotel is way overpriced for the money and they added tax and service on top of the rate. At check-in the management wanted to charge me a different rate. Why who knows. I had to argue for half a hour and this left a bad taste for the people of this city. This hotel is run down. The floor... more

Old but renovated building from 1906. High ceilings. Lifts need up-lifting. Free wireless internet was not available throughout my stay. Nice view from breakfast room. Breakfast was also good. AC a bit old and noisy. The hotel worth less than what is advised in internet sites. So try to contact directly. I stayed for 50% of the lowest advertised rate. more

Similar to "TheHappyTraveller_uk" review, I booked to stay at this hotel recently and when I arrived I was told that there wasn't a booking in my name for the period booked. Clearly the hotel was over booked and in order to manage this we were told that we didn't have a booking (despite having prepaid our booking). We were offered... more

We pre-paid through an internet hotel booker to stay at the Windsor Palace. We arrived and were made to wait for around an hour, and then told we had no reservation. We asked to see the manager. He told us our reservation had been cancelled as the money had not been paid by the internet agency. We managed to borrow... more

This was a “splurge” hotel for us, with a marble lobby and a good location near the sea and a short taxi ride to the train station. The cost at the time (early July 2009) was $91 per night. The room was clean, large and nice, and includes breakfast in a roof-top room or in an adjacent open terrace with... more

I was pleasantly surprised to find the Windsor a swish looking four star hotel, superbly located in the middle of Alexandria's main strip overlooking the sea. I had expected this to be your average 3 star only-good-for-sleeping-in hotel but I was greeted with Kakade (Hibiscus juice - traditional drink in Egypt) and there was even a concierge to show me... more

I must say I was impressed by the fanciness of this place, since I've never stayed at such an expensive place before, but it simply wasn't worth it. We went all out and got the more expensive sea view room, a HUGE MISTAKE. The view of the Mediterranean was amazing but we noticed during the day that there was a... more
