Frommer's "This is probably the most charming of the Corniche pensions, and with a pleasant and efficient staff, it represents excellent value for money in both comfort and location." Full review

Rooms on the sixth floor should be avoided -- they are windowless and reserved for overflow.
Insight Guides "With a central location, lashings of old-fashioned character, friendly and attentive staff, spick-and-span rooms at great prices (some with harbour views), the Crillon is the best budget bet in town."
DK Eyewitness "After the Union the Crillon is Alexandria’s next best budget hotel."
Rough Guide "A time-warped prewar pension on the Corniche, with a lobby full of stuffed birds and faded Art Deco rooms with seaview balconies and clean shared bathrooms on the third floor."
Lonely Planet "Smack-dab on the Corniche, this place has oodles of character but is a little rough around the edges." Full review

Avoid mid-June to mid-September, when half of Cairo and the Persian Gulf descend on the city, congesting its beaches.

DK Eyewitness "A luxurious hotel, the Four Seasons has its own beach and marina, a spa and a circular infinity pool on a fourth-floor terrace. All rooms have sea views."
