The place has a unique atmosphere. We stayed at a junior suite and it was very clean and comfortable. The kraken (bar and restaurant) has such an amazing vibe with great service. Pool wasn’t clean as expected, pool bar was closed and seating area around the pool is very poor and very uncomfortable tanning beds.

My enjoyable stay at Africana, Alexandria.
Very good - hotel staff were very helpful. The room was clean and spacious. A nice complex with a spa, swimming poold and several bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. outside area is set to a beautiful lawn. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall average
Location practical because not far from airport. 4 star hotel ... I wonder what is the rule ? It is a 3 star max. Breakfast is not what it should be in terms of choice and quality. No real cafe, only Nescafé machine... friendly service which does with what they have. (Shuttle to airport but impossible to get a recipe for the money spend as an example) Good tip in the country to avoid this, use Uber : much cheaper than normal taxi and we will get an invoice. Vue from room was nice (see picture) but better keep the window close to avoid all the smel from the kitchen.

Water problems
My second time staying here in two weeks. Arrived late after work and had to depart early for the airport (3am). This is the reason to use this hotel. I was shown to one of the newly refurbished rooms, which is lovely. Unfortunately when it came to leave the water in the shower could not be regulated and the water was boiling. So no shower after a day of 32 F and 14 hrs travelling in store. Reception suggested I didn’t know how to use the taps!!! Pretty annoyed as paying city prices to be close to the airport. Maybe overreacting but a good bed and decent shower is the least expected at this price point. Africana will have to do better to get me back.

Convenient to Airport.
The hotel is quite isolated but close to the airport and Sumed oil terminal. About 30 mins taxi ride to Stanley Bridge. Breakfast was good with plenty of selection available. Staff very helpful at reception.

Good hotel if you want to stay for 1-2 nights near industrial area , since the industrial area closes at 4 pm - the hotel has resort kind of facilities so you can treat half day as business and half day as leisure

Hotel loin de toute commodité
Tres mauvaise accueil par le réceptionniste. Qui ne connaît pas son boulot. J'ai appris par la suite que c'est le comptable de l'hôtel. J'ai réglé la totalité de ma facture sur le site Hotels.com mais l'hôtel a refusé de me donner la chambre. Il me réclamait de payer en liquide. Sans l'aide de Hotels.com je n'aurais jamais eu ma chambre.

Preiswertes Hotel
Das Hotel hat den Charme vergangener Tage bewahrt. Das Personal ist höflich und zuvorkommend. Die Nähe zu Alexandria ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt.
