Poor condition, poor service, way far from being 5 stars hotel

Great hotel. Good location, very good service. The rooms need some refreshing but overall a very nice experience

Stayed here many times. Wifi never works. Often it problems when checking out etc. was a 5 star hotel many many years ago

I always like to stay in classic historic hotels. I love the rich history and characters that have chosen to stay there. The St. George in Algiers is the most historic hotel, located in a beautiful location overlooking the Bay of Algiers. Many famous stars and heads of state, like Churchill, have stayed here.The stunning Arab-style architecture and the beautiful botanic garden make it a haven of peace and tranquility in an otherwise busy city. The hotel has kept all of its charm from a bygone era, but offers modern amenities and great service. The staff is friendly and efficient. I asked if I could have a room in the older wing and was given room 1211, a large room with a balcony overlooking the gardens, with the Mediterranean sea in the background. Beautiful. The level of service in the restaurant is top-notch (classical French-style service, with soup poured directly into your plate). The swimming pool and recently-renovated spa are outstanding. The pool is covered and heated in Winter but open in the Summer. The steam bath (hammam) and sauna are delightful. I would pick no other hotel! So if you want to experience old world charm with modern amenities, the El-Djazair St. George is the place to stay at in beautiful Algiers!

The staff is witless and rude, the toilets don't flush, the wifi doesn't work, the food is overpriced. I was harassed for bringing some bread into the hotel as it is against the sanitary rules. A hopeless disaster of a place and far too expensive.

I stayed at this hotel in October and November 2017 in this very safe hotel. The location is great and so the staff. I got a room upgrade with a magnificent ocean view. The food is delicious. The terrasse and garden are beautiful, The perfect place to enjoy a delicious homemade mint tea.

A 5 star hotel with 4 star treatment and 6 star prices. Also note that they have a very bad WiFi.

Very nice hotel and very polite & professional staff. Really good restaurants especially the garden restaurant. Facilities need to be improved whilst keeping the lovely traditional appeal.

I notice that many of the reviews of this hotel are poor. I have to say that they don't reflect my own experience. We spent three nights here, and had a lovely stay. It's true that this is not the slick, off-the-peg experience of an international business hotel, but who needs another one of those? If you'd prefer to stay in a renovated Ottoman palace with beautiful architecture, friendly staff and a lovely garden, this is the top place in Algiers. I stayed here over 20 years ago, and the place is exactly as I remembered it, which is mainly a very good thing. Some updating is required - there is room for improvement when it comes to the bathrooms, for instance, though ours worked fine - but overall this is a characterful, and very lovely place. There was a pop-up Greek restaurant on the terrace during our stay, which was a good addition to the hotel, and we had some lovely cakes one afternoon. Reviews had led me to believe that the breakfast was appalling. It wasn't as good as it could have been but it wasn't bad either. There is a real sense of history here - the bar is lined with photos of luminaries from Edith Piaf to Albert Camus who have stayed in the hotel in its heyday, and something of that glamour is still discernible today. Do stay - you won't regret it!
