I had a lovely stay at Le Metropole, with its beautiful, historic charm and friendly staff. although there were some issues with parking and a lack of fresh fruit at breakfast. The hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Alexandria, and the views from the rooftop restaurant were simply amazing. Despite a couple of minor inconveniences, my overall experience was quite enjoyable.

My stay at Le Metropole was a bit of a mixed bag. The hotel's antique decor and charming atmosphere transported me to another era, and the location was stellar, right on the Corniche.
