Frommer's "Long favored by archaeologists working on the North Coast and expats looking for a break from Cairo, it's on the fifth floor of an old building on the seafront." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The best of Alexandria’s budget options, the Union is on the Corniche facing the sea, although not many rooms actually enjoy the view."
Rough Guide "Not as well run as it used to be, but still popular for its pleasant en-suite rooms."
Fodor's "Don't be misled by the dingy entrance and modest common area: this is the best inexpensive hotel in the city." Full review

But it is the balconies, which appear to hang over the Mediterranean, that make the place feel like such a steal at this price—be sure to request one.
Lonely Planet "Book a seafront room and princely views of the Med from the balcony are yours for a pauper's budget." Full review

15 El Shohadaa St. Raml Station, Alexandria, Egypt
From $19/night
Rough Guide "One floor below the Egypt, its lobby and rooms are less elegant, but come with TV, fans and fridges; some also have bathrooms, and seaview balconies."
