Cherry Maryski Hotel in Alexandria

I recently stayed at a hotel in Alexandria that offered decent value for its price. What made it stand out was its location tucked into a strategic part of the city, with shops and amenities practically around the corner. From a convenience perspective, it was spot-on.

The room itself was fine, nothing luxurious, but functional and clean enough. The one major drawback was the air conditioning unit, which made a loud and constant noise that made it hard to relax or sleep peacefully. Other than that, the room served its purpose without any serious faults.

Unfortunately, the view left much to be desired. There wasn’t really anything to look at just a blank, uninspiring stretch beyond the window. Inside the building, one peculiar aspect stood out: guests were allowed to smoke in the reception area. The smell lingered, and it wasn’t a pleasant welcome every time I came back in from outside.

On the plus side, the rooftop pool was a highlight. It was clean and inviting, and added a nice touch to an otherwise modest stay. The staff were generally fine helpful enough, though not especially warm or engaging.

All in all, the hotel served as a practical base for exploring Alexandria, with some pros and cons that balanced out depending on what you're looking for.
