Das Eigentum — Hotel Plaza
Hotel Plaza is a straightforward, dependable three-star in the centre of Algiers, a short walk from the Grand Post Office and the waterfront. The lobby is tiled, air-conditioned and quiet, with a front desk that handles check-ins efficiently in French and Arabic. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe room near the main boulevards rather than boutique character or sea views.
Chroniken von Algiers
Algiers was founded as a Phoenician trading post called Ikosim, later became the Roman Icosium, and then the capital of the Ottoman Regency of Algiers. The French colonial period (1830–1962) gave the city its wide boulevards, whitewashed villas and the monumental Notre-Dame d’Afrique. Independence in 1962 reshaped the city’s identity, fusing Berber, Arab, Ottoman and French layers into a tense, vibrant capital. Today Algiers is a sprawling metropolis of roughly 3.5 million, where 19th-century arcades sit alongside brutalist government blocks.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Plaza, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 to 7 facing the inner courtyard or the side street. These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but still within easy reach via the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3 facing the main road, as Algiers traffic can be loud, especially during rush hours. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor due to mechanical noise.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (6-7) facing the front may offer a glimpse of the Algiers seafront or the Bay of Algiers, depending on orientation. Side-facing rooms view local architecture and partial sea glimpses.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 to 7 are generally the quietest, being above the street bustle but not at the top where roof equipment might hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street noise is the primary issue, with buses and taxis honking from early morning. The hotel entrance and bar add intermittent noise on lower floors. Lift hum is noticeable on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1) Check in after 2pm to avoid the lunch rush — you're more likely to secure a high-floor quiet room. 2) If you're driving, ask about the hotel's allocated street parking (often free for guests) or use the public car park a block south — cheaper than valet.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
