"I do not advise staying at the Ralf Hotel as the front desk staff were rude & unhelpful.
The Hotel is well located but the air conditioning was not working & my room was uncomfortably hot across the two separate nights that I stayed in the hotel. I was told that somone from the Hotel staff would come to check the functioning of the air conditioning in my room, but no one ever did.

"Sa situation extraordinaire qui donne directement sur l’artère principale Didouche Mourad, on peut s’y promener jusqu’à la grande poste et sites historiques où c’est pas mal animée. Le métro est a deux pas et les arrêts de bus aussi, la gare de train un peu plus bas.
C’est propre et j’ai eu droit a un bel accueil, franchement je ne demande pas plus ! "

"Exceptional. Newly (literally within the last few weeks) renovated with an intelligent interior design, this hotel is well located in the heart of authentic Algiers, several minutes walk from the first/last metro station. The room contained a TV, wardrobe, desk and refrigerator alongside a balcony view of the sea and park. The breakfast was quite limited, with juice boxes, water and coffee (though importantly, it was real coffee from a professional machine) and some sweet items. The room was nice, though not ensuite (the bathrooms were metres away and only used by a limited number of other rooms. They were clean too and separate for make and female). The WiFi was strong, and the staff were all really genuinely nice. Would absolutely recommend 110%"
"For the price I paid, 4/5 is fair. The room was spacious and elegant with a view across the sea. The heating worked fine and there were plenty of windows should you desire some breeze. The room had everything needed including a large fridge/freezer and a sizable ensuite. The WiFi wasn't really working on this level, however, and the "breakfast" was just instant coffee and some cake. The tourist tax which was also 600 on the official rate, I payed 1,000 for, which is definitely well over the unofficial rate; however, I've still accounted for all of the above with my rating, and the staff were all friendly and the price I paid was indeed very reasonable. I would recommend, and would stay again. "
"Room was clean, not a lot of amenities nearby, when asking about the 10 euro towards food or drink the staff say they know nothing about it and laugh, needs to be addressed "
"Shuttle bus is a joke! You must stop deceiving people with this non existent service! Stranded at airport for more than an hour waiting for your driver in vain! Bathtubs in 2 different rooms are blocked water does get drained! Lightings in rooms and bathroom are so dim! Furniture is very very old and crapy! Strangers and non guests walk in from the street and use elevators to access rooms upstairs to do what exactly only God knows!!!! This is an honest advise to tourists visiting Alger just stay away and don’t ruin your visit staying at this shady place!"
"The hotel was modern with the room being clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The only downside was the noise from the busy road at the front of hotel. Reception were very helpful and quickly moved me to another room at the back of the hotel for the second night of my stay."
"Very difficult people at reception on two different stays denied that I had a reservation despite showing Expedia paid booking. First room had mold on walls and a tiny bathroom and required that we climb four sets of circular stairs at 2 am. Second room was much better and bathroom was fine but air conditioner did not work. Breakfast pastry was sometimes not fresh. Location was good but no one speaks English only French."
"The room was clean and comfortable. There was a pleasant sea view over the rooftops. The staff were warm and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and provided between 630am and 1030am. I enjoyed my stay, thank you."
