Hotels near ‘Izbat Zaydān

We had the best stay at Olive Garden, the hosts were expectional and made us feel as part of the family as soon as we got there. We were able to check into our room early as we were exhausted from the overnight bus from Cairo. The house is amazing, decorated Siwan style with many colourful rugs. We organized our tours to the desert safari and another day tour to the salt lakes, Cleopatras bath, the ruins etc. Both of which we were so happy with and had great days. The breakfast was delicious every morning of eggs, foul, etc. Nothing was ever too much to ask from Olive Garden, they had all the small details covered from mosquito spray at night time to picking you up from the bus station when you arrive. It is only a 10 minute walk from the centre of Siwa with a lovely big garden to chill it out in. Hercules, their cat was also star of show 😊

the staff is really friendly makes you feel at home, Ali is cooking delicious food, you just tell him what you crave, and he will make it for you, also was helping in scheduling and arranging excursions for us, and was checking on us, also the owner of the place Mr. Aloush was making our stay as if we were at home among family .. if you are not staying there then try their restaurant for delicious food :)

Alexander Lodge isn't a hotel in the traditional sense. It's unique and beautiful, welcoming and comfortable, but more like a guest house. Actually, it's someone's home, with additional guestrooms that are available to guests when the owner isn't present. There isn't a reception desk, but there are very kind, helpful hosts (Abdallah & Abdelfattah; co-owners, I believe) at hand to meet the needs of their guests. We were the only guests present when we arrived; a family arrived a day or 2 later, but we only encountered them when we were relaxing in the beautiful garden. The only meals we had at the Lodge were breakfasts, and we had the dining room to ourselves. I don't know if other meals can be arranged. With a single dining table (another small table in the corner), I also don't know how multiple guests' meals would be accomodated. Really, it's a lovely place, with a beautiful separate space for watching movies, reading, or playing board games, and there's also a sauna. It's somewhat removed from the center of Siwa, about a 15-20 minute walk to the central "midan" (square), where most restaurants are located. We also easily walked to Amun's Temple and Cleopatra's Bath from the Lodge using GoogleMaps on our phones to guide us. "Tuktuks" (sort of hybrid motorcycle/wagon taxis) can also be called to get around the place, providing really bumpy rides on the mostly rutted roads of Siwa. That's how we got to the Gebel el Mawt and to Fatna's Island to watch the sunset. Abdallah and Abdelfattah will assist with arranging for any necessary transportation to get around and see the area. They are both excellent hosts. They arranged for a 4x4 car to take us out into the desert. We had a wonderful time there, and I'd happily return and stay at Alexander's Lodge (particularly now that I know what to expect).

A good new hotel, probably one of the best in Siwa, because it’s new. A little away from the noise of the city center. The service staff is trying very hard.

The garden

Everything was good! The staff was very friendly, the hotel was decorated prettily, with hammocks, etc., and I highly recommend it! Breakfast is very good, and there is plenty of it to fill you up! Also, at night there is a campfire and music on the speakers, which makes for a fun time! Thank you!

Friendly staff, helpful. Wonderful pool and decorations.. great garden with cute seating areas. Big and comfortable room. We wished to have stayed longer. Nice location among farms and village life.

A very peaceful and beautiful place. Amany is the best host - a calm, warm and helpful presence. Close enough to the main town (we walked once and it was about 20 mins) but you can get to anywhere for a cheap price in a tuk tuk. The desert safari was incredible! we opted for a private one with dinner and it did not disappoint - so much fun with incredible stars and Amany booked us the best chef in town who cooks the food under the sand. Would recommend!
