We stayed 2x2 nights. The first two nights we had a superior room with balcony (which was very dirty). The first two days we had breakfast, which was basic and the restaurant rather small. The first morning we sat in a comfortable corner, but the next day we were not allowed to sit there - we were told it was a waiting area, but nobody used it. That’s why we did not have breakfast the last two days, where we had a standard room, smaller than the first one and rather dark, but ok for the price. Most of the staff were friendly.

Good position close to the railway station Agha.

Overall basic and clean hotel – good location in the city centre not far away from the famous post office.

But we were shocked during the check-out payment process. 
Please avoid this hotel at all cost.



Avoid this hotel!

Good environment and very nice and helpful  staff.
It has a good WIFI signal and it's a nice location to visit Algiers.
The room has a good space and very clean.
A good place to stay again in another visit to Algiers.

Excellent experience

Hotel is pretty basic, but it's central and inexpensive.  Things mostly work, and the breakfast isn't bad.  I would recommend if you're on a budget, and don't mind a few things not working perfectly.  

Central hotel in Algiers

This hotel is perfectly placed for tourism and business in Algiers. The rooms are spacious and with good AC and sizeable bathroom. Each room was a classic balcony and the glass is thick enough to stop any noise from the outside., The whole place is very clean and the staff are very friendly and multi lingual. I recommend it to anyone.

Perfect hotel for tourists in Algiers

The 'superior' room was disappointingly small and dark with a view over a dirty back alley. Poor lighting and nowhere to sit. Rock hard bed and hard lumpy pillows. The better rooms had non-functioning A/C. The staff, however, were super kind and helpful.p

I started my check-in in French and after a few sentences, the clerk looked at my passport (American) and switched to English. If his English had been amazing, I would have thought "ok, rude, but fine' (I understand French isn't the official language) but his English was fine not great. Which just made for an awkward conversation. Both clerks insisted in speaking English to me. Other reviews mention the staff being unfriendly. I found them friendly, but in a "hey, come over and let us practice our English with you" sort of way, not in the practical or professional way that you would want in staff from a hotel. It just made coming and going uncomfortable because the desk is right next to the door. The awkwardness of the interactions with the staff was enough for me not to stay here again or recommend. Also there was no hot water 2 of 3 nights and no internet one night. That aside, the view and the balcony were amazing (I tried hard to look at images before my stay to determine if there was a true balcony or just a railing). It was small, but a true balcony and 2 people could sit there. I was on the top floor (5th/(6th American)). Honestly if there had just been self check-in my stay would have been much better.

Forced encounters with the staff were awkward

If his English had been amazing, I would have thought "ok, rude, but fine' (I understand French isn't the official language) but his English was fine not great. Which just made for an awkward and jerking conversations. French would have been a lot more natural. Both clerks insisted in speaking English to me during my stay.

Located in the heart of Alger. Good location, comfortable bed but few issues with hot water, Wi-Fi elevator and hair dryer.

Well located but need more maintenance

Really sad that the owner / management of the property showed no care to my case. I didn’t know that Algeria needed a visa which cannot be applied on arrival, needed 15 - 20’days costing a ridiculous amount of of money. I did call Expedia and explained my situation and the hotel simply said NO. I paid for a service i didn’t use and I would never ever set my foot in that hotel. Horrible service and an ugly outcome.
