El Aurassi Reviews

The rooms are very spacious with great view. There are no slippers, bathrobes nor kettle in the rooms.

We (group of 8 ) arrived very late (~01:00) due to issues traveling from algiers. Upon arrival, discovered miniscule rooms which were dirty (clearly unvaccumed) with bits of trash on carpet and crumbs on chair and table/desk. Sheets were stained, one bath towel (also stained), 1/2 roll of TP. A huge (water leak) bubble/blister in the ceiling drywall hanging over shower-tub from the upper floor. On going down to ask for towel and toilet paper, attendant appeared to be attending three other clients. However, the clients appeared to be deliberating whether to stay in the hotel or not. Instead of the attendant turning his attention to me while they deliberated he continued to focus on them. Another client came and just interrupted and asked for something and he switched to detention to that person. I meanwhile politely waiting, was ignored. After realizing that politeness and courtesy was not being returned, I then asked the attendant for a towel and gave me a towel I asked he water gave me a water. The attendant had also taken our passports for scanning. I asked for the passports and he informed me that they were given to another member of our party. The next morning I went down and asked for toilet paper and the attendant ( a different attendant ) inform me that he would run the toilet paper to the room. After waiting a while, I decided to go out and for toilet paper on the service cart. The ladies turned into the rooms ask me if they could help me and I explained that I needed toilet paper and they gave me three rolls of toilet paper immediately. Needless to say we ( all eight of us) left and look for other accommodations.

Large room with terrace and a breathtaking view over the city and the sea! For me the best hotel in Algiers, great room service!

breath taking view on sea side, cleannse, freindly environemt.

overall one of the best hotel in Algiers.

Good as expected as a traditional hotel

Facilities: The gym has good equipment but the smell is a bit strong. It is on the lower floor. Service: Breakfast is basically the same every day. Hygiene: OK, acceptable

The hotel is a bit old, for example the plaster is coming off the ceiling on the terrace. The management needs to be changed, nobody feels responsible. The housekeeping was very good, tried very hard (I even gave them an extra tip). The staff in the terrace cafe were rather unwilling. The breakfast is definitely not up to the standards of a 5* hotel, old rolls (at least from the day before), old toast, little choice, rather uncaring, but the staff were extremely friendly and tried very hard. The food in general is borderline (room service). At reception I was snapped at by a male employee when I asked a question, that was borderline. The view over Alger is great, however (make sure you book a sea view). The service in the bar on the E floor is also poor, the selection of drinks minimal. The wine is undrinkable. Acceptable for business trips, but I wouldn't spend a vacation in this hotel. Regarding Algeria in general, I would like to say that the people are extremely hospitable and polite, the food (outside) in the restaurants (except for once) is very good and inexpensive, taxis are very cheap, they are just not luxury cars (reminds me of the early days in Dubai in the 90s). A tip for a day trip at the end: Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania, the restaurant next to the mausoleum has wonderful seafood from the charcoal grill.

English is not very useful, you need to speak French or Arabic. State-owned, old five-star hotel, not new facilities, safe area, behind is the Ministry of Defense, good location, city view and sea view are available. Breakfast has few options, just enough to fill you up. There are handicrafts for sale in the lobby, not cheap, but exquisite. The lock of the guest room door is broken. According to the national standards for visits abroad, it does not exceed the standard.

I spent one night in this hotel, it was clean friendly staff

The hotel was magnificent with a huge swimming pool and impeccable service, the catering was of high quality and the staff very friendly and professional, I will probably come back.

This is really the worst night of my life, they took money from me too!!

Nice hotel even if it needs a little updating! Own A little far from amenities The staff is very attentive 10/10 I didn't like the breakfast which didn't deserve the price.

We should review the cleanliness of the carpets and armchairs, and the cupboards, unpleasant smell in the room. Top reception and catering service.
