부동산 — Salmi Hotel
The Salmi Hotel is a functional three-star property near the centre of Algiers, aimed squarely at budget-conscious business travellers and short-stay tourists who need a clean, safe base. The lobby feels dated but serviceable — tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a tired sofa area — with a modest breakfast room off to the side. Its main draw is the location: a short walk from the Grand Post Office and the metro, making it practical rather than charming. It suits anyone who plans to spend little time indoors and wants straightforward, no-frills accommodation.
Algiers 연대기
Algiers was founded as a Phoenician trading post called Ikosim, then became the Roman city of Icosium before the Berbers and Arabs shaped its character. French colonisation from 1830 transformed the city with wide boulevards, ornate public buildings like the Grand Post Office (1910), and a European-style centre; the old Casbah, a dense hilltop maze of alleyways and whitewashed houses, remained distinctly Algerian. Independence in 1962 saw the city become the political and cultural capital of the new republic, a status it retains today. Contemporary Algiers is a sprawling, traffic-heavy metropolis where Ottoman mosques and French neoclassical architecture sit alongside modern concrete blocks, and the vibe is a tense but vibrant mix of Arab, Berber, and Mediterranean influences.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Algiers 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
April to June and September to October — mild temperatures (18-28°C), low humidity, and fewer tourists than peak summer. Spring brings green hills and comfortable walking weather; autumn is warm but with clearer skies.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August — the hottest and most humid months, when temperatures regularly hit 35°C and locals head to the coast. Hotel prices rise by 30-50%, and the city is busy with domestic visitors and Algerian expats returning for summer holidays. The Algiers International Music Festival (July) adds to demand.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
March and November — noticeably cooler (12-20°C), with occasional rain, but hotel rates drop by 20-30% and the city is far less crowded. You get better value and still decent weather for sightseeing, though some coastal activities may be limited.
날씨 & 포장
Algiers can be cloudy and drizzly one morning then blindingly sunny by noon, especially in spring and autumn. Pack a light, waterproof jacket that you can tie around your waist — not an umbrella, as sudden gusts from the sea often snap them.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Algiers
- The Algiers metro extension to the airport (Houari Boumediene) opened in 2023, so you can now take Line 1 from Place des Martyrs directly to the terminal; it's cheaper and faster than taxis, which are notorious for overcharging airport fares.
- The historic Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is undergoing a long-term restoration project that has closed some alleys and stairs; check current access points at the tourist office on Rue Didouche Mourad.
- Ramadan in 2026 roughly falls mid-April to mid-May — outside your July stay — but note that during Ramadan many restaurants and shops close during daylight hours, and alcohol sales are restricted; verify timings if you travel near that period.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Salmi Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 through 6, away from the elevator shaft and facing the rear courtyard. These upper floors minimise street noise from Rue Yahia Benaiche and offer better air circulation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 and 2 facing the street — they catch morning traffic rumble and pedestrian noise from the pavement below. Also avoid any room directly next to or opposite the lift lobby on any floor.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors of the rear face get a partial view over the courtyard and neighbouring rooftops towards the Bay of Algiers in the distance, if you look north-west. Street-facing rooms show the busy Rue Yahia Benaiche.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are the quietest, being high enough to reduce street noise but below the roof-level mechanical hum some older hotels generate.
🔊 Noise notes
This is a central 3-star hotel on a main road in Algiers. Expect traffic noise from vehicles, horns, and occasional street vendors. The lift mechanism is audible if your room shares a wall with the shaft. Internal corridors can amplify voices from neighbouring doors.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, ask reception about the small adjacent parking lot — it's not obvious from the street but saves circling. 2) Check-in move fast before 14:00 to request floor priority; the hotel is often full and room swaps are rare after that.
- 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

Algiers 주요 관광지
💡 Enter from Bab El Oued side for a less crowded start. Don't miss the view from the rooftop of Palais des Rais Bastion 23 (500 DZD entry).
💡 Visit after 10am to avoid prayer times. Take your shoes off before entering and cover your legs and shoulders.
💡 Best visited at sunset for dramatic lighting. The base has a small shop with decent souvenirs cheaper than the Casbah.
💡 Free audio guide in English at the desk. The terrace café has a good view over the Jardin d’Essai. Allow 1-2 hours.
💡 Go early in the morning before it gets hot. The palm tree avenue is perfect for photos. Bring water as the café is overpriced.
