    The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of downtown. The hostel was easily accessible and offered great value for money. The hostel had a cozy and homely atmosphere, thanks to the friendly and helpful staff, especially Ahmed at the reception. The lobby had a great collection of interesting books to read. The bed was clean and comfortable, perfect for tall people like me. The availability of toilet equipment was convenient. The facility was in acceptable condition and the Wi-Fi connection was good. The cable television was a nice addition. Though I didn't try it, the breakfast included in the package was a great option. The elevator, which some people may dislike due to safety concerns, reminded me of childhood visits to Downtown Cairo and added to the overall experience. a fantastic stay with all these amenities and a great location.

    Location was convenient, close to many attractions and easy to get around.

    Some maintenance issues, such as broken locks and non-functional hot water boiler.

    The room was absolutely amazing! It had a satellite TV, which was perfect for catching up on my favorite shows. The minibar was a super convenient touch, and the private bathroom made me feel right at home. a great experience!

    Personally, I found the air conditioning in the double room a bit too cold for my liking. But hey, that's just me!

    The room at Transit Alexandria Hostel was amazing! I absolutely loved the satellite TV, it made staying in and watching my favorite shows so enjoyable. The minibar was a nice touch too, perfect for chilling a drink after a long day of exploring. And the private bathroom was clean and spacious, giving me the comfort I needed. I had a wonderful time in this cozy room!

    I would say that the only downside for me was the private entrance. It didn't bother me much, but I prefer having a main entrance where I can interact with other guests.

    Great location, close to Raml Station and sea promenade. Air-conditioned rooms with comfortable beds. Affordable price for a good stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy rooms. Good internet connection. Cozy and homey atmosphere. Renovated hostel with private rooms. Fair price/quality ratio.

    Couldn't find any faults at all.

    We explored the historic Fort and walked along the beach, checking out the cool cafes. The location was perfect, right near the main train station and the old part of the city. The vibes in the hostel were top-notch, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. It was the best place for us young party-goers!

    The only thing I'd ask for is more party options. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of cool spots nearby, but it would have been awesome to have a party area or organized events at the hostel itself.

    I got great value for my money at Transit Alexandria. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice balcony and good amenities. The location was convenient, close to the beach and in the heart of the city. The staff, especially Ahmed at the reception, were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    I was thrilled to find that even though the hotel claimed to offer continental dishes for breakfast, all I got was stale bread and tasteless coffee. The icing on the cake was the broken fan in my room. What a treat!

    Oh, and let's not forget the lovely view of the dumpster behind the hotel. Absolutely breathtaking!

    We had a pleasant stay at this hotel in Alexandria. The location is perfect, just a stone's throw away from the Raml Station and the sea promenade. The room was clean and comfortable, with a TV, hot water, and a balcony with a side sea view. The staff, especially Ahmed at the reception, were friendly, polite. They even fulfilled my request for coffee upon arrival. it was a good enough experience for the price we paid.

    Felt safe and secure, no reason to complain.

    The room was cozy and comfortable, with a satellite TV for a great movie night with the kids. I loved having a minibar in the room, it was so convenient to have cold drinks at hand. The private bathroom was a bonus, no need to wait in line!

    The only downside was that the room didn't have air conditioning. It wasn't a big deal for me, but some guests might prefer it.
