Prime location, fantastic view, and friendly staff...

Prime location, fantastic view, and friendly staff but terrible furnishing and amenities. No sound proofing, leaking bathroom fixtures, and terrible mattress in room 109. Lack of sound proofing makes sleep a real challenge as the hotel overlooks Alexandria's main road. Most wood parts (whether decoration in room or doors and windows) are in extremely poor conditions with flaking paint and cracks. Hot water isn't available all the time. They have central heating system with inadequate capacity to supply all rooms. I had to take cold shower twice.
