Reviews of Triomphe Hostel

Only the location is good but the hotel is not nice staff r too rude and the room is not properly clean. my booking is paid already but once I arrive in the hotel they charge me more 200 Egypt pound they said wich room you booked this one not available how is it possible also they said if you want you can cancel but the problem is if I cancel I won't get a refund they know this one then what to do I pay 200 extra

Great location, good value for money, friendly staff

Wi-fi was not great. The shower room was impractical, as there was no separation between the toilet and shower.

Staff location view big room

The lift is a bit old but working

All the buildings from Alexandria are falling appart except the fancy 4-5 stars hotels. It's a very ghetto city, super dirty. Go to Aswan, Luxor and Giza. Unless you are a egyptology fanatic do NOT waste your time in Alexandria. The hotel was less then 2 minutes walk from the beach, that on a turistic city had NO traffic lights. It's so bad that Google maps function within society normal rules and when u try to navigate walking around the town everything takes over one hour walk because the city only has 2 officials cross walk. One at the beggining and one at the end. You literally MUST j walk among egyptian crazy drivers, they stop for no-one. The most valuable of this hotel: location. Forget about the others, the location of this hotel is perfect for the price.

The hotel was very old, the matress were old like the building: brown. But I guess it's suits the egyptian hotel reality.

The location of Triomphe Hostel is absolutely unbeatable – right in the heart of the old town, within walking distance to key landmarks like: • Qaitbay Citadel • The old souks • Daniel Street • Bibliotheca Alexandrina If you’re looking for an authentic feel of Alexandria’s historic side, this is the right spot. The building itself is very old – I’m not sure from which year, but it definitely has character. Riding the old elevator is an experience in itself; you probably won’t see one like it anywhere else still in operation! The hostel offers both shared rooms (up to 3 people) with shared bathrooms, or you can opt for a private room with a private bathroom, which gives more comfort and privacy. What I appreciated most was the ambience – there’s something nostalgic and enduring about the place. It feels like a piece of Alexandria’s old soul that’s still standing, and I truly hope it continues for years to come.

In terms of cleanliness, I wouldn’t rate it a full 5/5. For me personally, it’s fine for a one-night stay, but I wouldn’t stay longer. That said, it’s still reasonably maintained, and you can feel the charm and history in the atmosphere.

Good location close to amenities good size rooms with balcony and private bathroom

No tv no ac

The location is excellent, very central and convenient.

The sheets and pillows were not clean, and the overall condition of the hotel is very outdated. There are very few amenities, and the place could really use some renovation and better maintenance. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

Very friendly staff.

The cushions were toooooo hard.

It is quaint…reception staff fantastic..enjoyed location, price good, lounge to sit and get wifi was a plus..enjoyed our stay…an oldie but a goodie

Good value for money

I found this accommodation option by accident, but it ended up being the best thing that happened to me in Alexandria. The location is pretty central, and you can easily reach all the most important sights, including the corniche, by foot. What is even more fascinating, the hotel is located in a vintage building dated back to the colonial times. This way, living here is like going back in time and experiencing how people of the previous centuries lived. Moreover, my room had a wonderful view of the city, and I enjoyed spending every night on the balcony and admiring the nightlife of Alexandria. The staff is also amazing, all of them are helpful, responsive and attentive to all your needs. They helped me on many different occasions. At the same time, this accommodation is so cheap while still being great and pretty well maintained. I just wish I spent more days here... I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for affordable hotels in Alexandria.

Great location close to the sea and market area. Good situated for visiting Alexandria's sights. Vi tage design with a lovely owner that is kind and helpful

Price/performence hotel. Great location.

No hot water at night. Moreover, no water at all. No toilet paper. Bad internet connection. Windows are really old that you hear and feel all the traffic noise of the street directly.

Friendly staff. Cozy room good location

Room next to busy street and tram few poor water supply in bathtub Dirty bathroom upon arrival Noisy early housekeeping

Decent clean rooms, the staff is really nice and helpful, available 24/7 The hotel has a perfect location in my opinion.

the Wifi doesn't reach all rooms, only available in the common/living area, it's also not very fast. bathroom cleanliness is 7/10

Great location, very friendly staff.

Staff was really sweet and supportive!

I was in a single room for a few nights…it literally felt like I was in a hospital. I do not recommend the single rooms at all, however, I moved to a double and it was better in terms of space and it has a mini-fridge and a balcony which was okay if you’re staying for a few nights. It costed me extra, but I would say it was honestly not worth it at all. The bathrooms are shared, so if you wanted privacy, this was not on the list. Another thing I didn’t like is that they made you leave your room key with them until you come back…I still don’t understand the reasoning behind that, but I still asked them politely to take it with me every time since I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the key with them, although they still have a spare for emergency.

Friendly staff great location
