The upstairs apartment was very spacious, clean, and well kept up. The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed to cook a meal including a microwave, hot water kettle, and a working gas stove and oven. It had a large comfortable queen size bed and plenty of space in the closet to put all personal items. There are two beds in each room so you can either have a private room or one roommate at the most. There is a large balcony to go out on and catch some sun and a clothesline to hang up washed laundry. At night the view of the city and ocean is spectacular. The owner, Farrag, is always very kind, accommodating, and quick to take care of whatever needs you may have. .

At first the light in the bathroom was pretty dim but that got replaced. The washer that was originally there didn't work well but that also go replaced with a new washer. The other thing doesn't have anything to do with the hotel. Maesa Matrouh is a beautiful city, so I am wondering why there is so much trash on the streets. However, many of the locals were very friendly.

During my recent travels, I had the pleasure of staying at Almanara Hotel Marsa Matrouh and I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had In Egypt ( as an Egyptian hotel category ) Atmosphere and Ambiance. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The common area was bright and airy, filled with comfortable seating, &!vibrant decor,. It felt like a home away from home, where I could unwind after a day of Beach / exploring. The Owner: A Gem The heart of Al Manara Hotel is undoubtedly its owner, Taher . From the moment I arrived, Taher greeted me with a genuine smile and made me feel instantly welcome. He took the time to show me around the hostel, explaining the facilities and sharing insider tips about the local area. His passion for hospitality was evident; he truly cared about his guests’ experiences. Personal Touches What set this hostel apart were the personal touches. Each staff really go the extra mile to provide the best service ,. & both owner & manager couldn’t do better Cleanliness and Facilities The hostel itself was impeccably clean. The apartment was well-maintained, and the shared dorm apartment was very spacious, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. There were also an awesome roof overlooking the beach . as well as a communal kitchen stocked with essentials for those who wanted to cook. Location Almanara Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of literally everything & anything from restaurants, and public transport. Taher,provided a detailed highlighted info for the best spots to visit, which made navigating the area easy and enjoyable. Final Thoughts My stay at Almanara Hotel was nothing short of exceptional.

Washing Machine hose kept coming off causing water overflow in kitchen

The stuff were nice and friendly, specially Ahmed El Mahalawy he was cooperative when it came to cancel our booking for the last 2 nights, also the apartment have all the amenities like kitchen with all equipment also a washing machine for clothes.

It's abit far from the sea around 10 mins walking, and that the apartment doesn't have a view as it's in the city center so you can see the sea if you're in 11th floor from very far away, also i didn't liked that the furniture is abit old, the elevator was facing issues and only one elevator was working.

Al-Manara Hotel is an excellent choice of a hotel in Mersa Matruh. For the usual price of a hostel you get to share a super clean, spacious and comfortable apartment with all its facilities in perfect order and right in the centre of the city. Plus, you get this amazing city view from your balcony. However, what made my stay truly exceptional was the super kind and friendly stuff that was always there to assist with any issue, but also more than willing to engage in conversation and help me practice my Arabic. A special thanks to Ashraf, Mahmood, Heba, Hisham and Faraj- the amazing owner of the hostel- whose hospitality made it feel like home. Note: Mersa Matruh has a very warm climate so you can enjoy summer vacation and idyllic beaches even in October, while at the same time avoiding the crowds.

It's time to write a fare review about this amazing place. I'm a regular guest for more than 3 years now and it didn't fail to impress me everytime. First thing is the value like quality for price is great. The service, rooms and apartments are really cool with some seaview options. The location is the best, it can't be better actually right in the center of the city where you can find everything around and the area is really alive all day and night. You can walk everywhere and also easy to get transportation to the lovely beaches out if the town. The staff and hosts are amazing and very helpful everytime I needed something they care to get me the best help and solutions. They are also very respectful and friendly. I love the vibes and the atmosphere there. It is the best place to stay in Marsa Matrouh. If you are visiting Marsa Matrouh then you should stay there definitely.

Everything is perfect, location, convenience, staffs and reasonable price. As the hotel is located at the middle of Matrouh, I can get to El Hana beach, markets and cafeteria by less than 5 mins walk. Also, it’s easy to travel other cities by public transportation as the railway and bus stations are not far from the hotel; taxi fare is less than 1 USD. I strongly recommend Al Manara to all travelers.

To be honest, I loved this place, for just small money I got a luxurious flat for me alone on the top of the highest building of the city, I loved the lights inside the home, you have a living room, tv, kitchen, washing machine, a bathroom and hot water as well as confortable beds! You have everything near the house, for eat, markets, the beach is only 10 minutes by walking. People are nice and quiet and respect you so much. I will come again

Huge shared apartment, which I could have for myself alone because there were no other guests, as I went in low season. Very comfortable bed with clean sheets. All other facilities were clean and good. Helpful staff, helped me with my late arrival. Convenient location, nearby the main beach of the city

In overall, Marsa Matrouh is more expensive in accommodation than other cities across Egypt, yet the price was reasonable

Place is absolutely amazing. Very clean beautiful rooms.well equipped kitchen,washing machine to wash clothes, right in the center. Basically big rooftop apartment with 2 rooms converted into female dorm you can see sunrise and sunset. Very big living room terrace amazing people who work super nice.this is the best female dorm I have ever been in.

I like everything here, the facilities inside and outside the hostel. 10 mins walk to the beach and everything is around which is convenient, staffs are very friendly and helpful.

so far so good
