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
