    Had a nice stay at Excelsior Downtown Hotel.The reception team was super patient, professional, and helpful — especially Asha and Syed, who helped me a lot with a reservation issue. Really appreciated it.The room I got was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.Special thanks to Katrin for her help with my luggage!Would happily stay here again.

    The location was great and close to the Train Station. The hotel was neat with hospitable staff.

    The breakfast was not continental and I could not get many of what I wanted

    Location next to Rigga street , housekeeping staffs so efficient

    Quite outdated , keys aren’t working 3 times during my stay

    7mohammedPosted on: 1-21-2026

    The property is near the metro station, very quiet and clean. The property's wifi is very fast and useful. Very good service from the housekeeping staff, especially Mr. Saaqib. As a client I can give it a 7 out of 10.

    Wifi very good

    10MohamedPosted on: 1-20-2026

    Over all the experience was nice just that I had an issue with the AC. Umair & Aisha were helpful during the stay. Thank you to the team.

    AC needed service I guess.

    Location was great, rooms were clean, staff are friendly,

    The bed size is queen size, we're it was mentioned in booking bed is king.

    1BulentPosted on: 1-20-2026

    Absolutely nothing.

    Photos on google and booking.com are photoshopped. We’ve been lied to from the second we walked in. Booked a 3 night stay and were literally forced to stay the first night although we wanted to cancel due to the rooms and hotel being filthy. Next morning were completely ignored by the manager Tamer for 1 hour, kept us waiting in the lobby. Then told us he would cancel our remaining 2 nights stay. It’s been over 1 month and we still haven’t been refunded and all he does it continue to lie to us. Be smart and do not book at this hotel you will regret it.

    The staff were nice

    The hotel was very noisy at night. Someone kept knocking on my room door and ringing the doorbell many times. In addition, the walls between the rooms were very thin, and I could clearly hear noise from the adjacent rooms.I found 3 small insects on the bed.
