Stay here!

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.

Affordable stay at the best location

Best location at affordable rate, very nearby to the Corniche and most of the attractions there. Go for it without any hesitation. The hotel is located on the 4th floor of the old building. The list service will lead you to it.

Very Satisfied.

At the time of writing this review, I stayed in a double room with a balcony for 750 EGP per night. The accommodation is ideally located in the heart of Corniche, Alexandria's beautiful coastal road. It is situated in a building right next to Saad Zaghloul Square, surrounded by restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, markets, and shopping complexes. The Corniche itself offers a priceless experience for leisurely strolls. Located on the 4th floor, the hotel provides a balcony with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, bathed in warm sunlight. The room is spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need, including a TV, fan, air conditioning (unused during winter), a table, and chairs. There’s very little to ask for beyond what is already provided. Hot water is readily available and works perfectly. While it’s not a luxury hotel, one thing I can confidently say is that this is the best choice you can find for 750 EGP per night. If you are a long-term backpacker or planning to spend extended time in Alexandria, often called the "Bride of the Mediterranean," I highly recommend the Transit Hotel. The staff is friendly and available 24/7. Although breakfast service is not provided, there’s a common hall with tables where you can freely relax. If you need anything, the thoughtful owner, Mohamed, and the staff will go out of their way to assist you. Mohamed is incredibly capable and kind. Thank you, Mohamed, for your hospitality, and Happy New Year to everyone reading this review! Transit Hotel—highly recommended!
