The Alex Monte Kastella

Fantastic gem, close to the port but far enough away to feel more relaxed. Great neighbourhood, overlooking rhe sea and close to tavernas, restaurants and bars. Terrific value for room big enough, yet small hotel that’s not overwhelming. Beautiful rooftop restaurant/bar with amazing breakfast. But the real value is the staff, they go above and beyond to help. Really special place, glad we found it during our travels.

We loved this hotel from the moment we arrived! The location is just perfect—right by the sea with beautiful views, and there are great little restaurants and a charming port within walking distance. The staff were super friendly and took great care of us. Our room was clean, cozy, and even smelled amazing! One of our favorite parts was the rooftop bar—it has an incredible view of the sea and is such a nice spot to relax, especially in the evening. Breakfast was delicious (you have to try the yogurt!), and they also offer free coffee all day, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a place we’d come back to, and we’d absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway.

The reception staff are very welcoming! The Manager was so sweet to give us glasses of water when we sat in the lobby area to cool down coming from outside. 37° is no joke 😵‍💫 The view at the roof top bar is superb especially during the night! Staffs are friendly and service oriented. Location of the hotel is good, away from the noisy area but its walking distance to the port and restaurants. The bus hop on/off pick up spot is also just right in front of the hotel.(probably good to know) Room is okey, its small but it has a huge balcony. Apart from having problems unlocking the door with our key card, the overall experience is good.

A Perfect 10 Stay — Every Angle, Every Moment As a frequent traveler, it’s rare to find a place that truly exceeds expectations in every possible way — but The Alex, Monte Kastella did just that. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the hotel’s impeccable location: perched in a prime spot with breathtaking views that rival any in the area. The restaurant alone offers one of the most stunning settings to dine in, whether you’re enjoying breakfast or a sunset dinner. The room design deserves special mention — modern, thoughtful, and incredibly comfortable. Every element felt curated for both style and function, creating a space that felt like a serene retreat after a day of exploring. But what made our stay unforgettable was the staff. From morning to night, every team member we encountered was gracious, genuinely helpful, and ready to go the extra mile without hesitation. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel truly looked after. We were so impressed by everything — the location, the views, the atmosphere, the service — that we wouldn’t think twice about returning. In fact, we’ll be recommending The Alex to everyone we know. It’s a gem that deserves all the praise it gets — and more.

We arrived to the hotel after debarking our cruise. We were 4 hours early to check in but they were able to accommodate us with a clean room relatively quickly. The staff was extremely friendly, and the hotel is very clean. Beautiful rooms and views. Within walking distance to the waterfront.
