1.0 star ratingGood location on Rue Didouche Mourad, although it can be noisy at night. Breakfast is a bread roll, a croissant and a cup of coffee (or tea if you ask). Hardly hearty, but better than nothing. It's cheap in comparison to other hotels in Algiers.I can forgive a hotel for being run-down; you get what you pay for - particularly it seems in Algiers - but the Samir Hotel was dirty, the air conditioning didn't work at all (despite numerous promises that they would fix it), the doors lock but are opened with a gentle pull/push of the handle, the floors are dirty, the bathrooms are dirty, there's litter under the beds, the staff largely can't be bothered to help, it's noisy well into the early hours.... I could go on. We had to sleep with the door and shutter to the balcony wide open as the aircon was broken (despite the 'maintenance' man trying to fix it by using several different remote controls) so we were sweltering hot all night, kept awake by the noise of the road (it's busy all night) and covered in mosquito bites. We couldn't leave anything of value in the room as although the door locked, it is so old that it would open if you gave it a slight (and I mean slight) push from the outside. We asked the staff to order us a taxi to the airport, so one of them phoned his friend. They'd already told us that the price should be no more than 800 Dinar, but they couldn't guarantee a price with their mate! He was due in 15 minutes but hadn't arrived in 30, so we hailed a taxi in the street (800 Dinar). There was dirt and dust all over the floor and tops, there was hair everywhere in the bathroom, there was a nearly-finished toilet roll on the toilet, the towels were stained..... I often stay in hostels when I travel, so I'm used to the grimier end of accommodation - and I'm no complainer..... but this place was poor. It wasn't awful, but it really should only be an option if you can't afford anywhere else. There are lots of budget options in Algiers, but they don't have much of an online presence. This is reflected in the level of tourism there, which is minimal.On The Ball06 June 2012
