"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
"The best of Alexandria’s budget options, the Union is on the Corniche facing the sea, although not many rooms actually enjoy the view."
"Not as well run as it used to be, but still popular for its pleasant en-suite rooms."
"Don't be misled by the dingy entrance and modest common area: this is the best inexpensive hotel in the city." Full review
