Hotels with a pool in Algeria: Oran, Béjaïa, Constantine, Annaba, Sétif

For many families coming home to Algeria, a pool makes all the difference: the children have somewhere to play between family visits, and the parents get a break. But it pays to know which kind of pool you are getting. In Algeria, many hotel pools are outdoors and only open in the warm season; some hotels have an indoor pool that can be used all year round, which is precious during the winter holidays. Here, city by city, are hotels with a pool that you can book on Nreservi, outside Algiers. For the capital, see our page hotels with a pool in Algiers.

Indoor or outdoor: the first question

• An outdoor pool opens in season, mainly in summer. Depending on the hotel, it runs from May to September, or only from late June to early September. Out of season, do not count on it.
• An indoor pool can in principle be used all year: that is the one to look for if you are travelling in December or February.
• A children's pool is not found everywhere: if your children are small, check the hotel page.

Five questions to ask before booking

1. Is the pool open on my dates? For an outdoor pool, this is the main question.
2. Is access included in the room price? In some hotels, the spa, treatments or water park cost extra.
3. What are the opening hours? They are set by the hotel and may be shorter out of season.
4. Is there a children's pool?
5. Is the indoor pool heated? For a winter stay, it is worth asking.

If the information is not on the hotel page, write to us before booking and we will ask the hotel.

Booking and paying from abroad

For a family, enter the number of children and their ages when you search: the rooms offered and the price depend on it. Living abroad? You can also pay online by bank card, and your voucher is sent to you after payment. A relative in Algeria can also pay for you in dinars: BaridiMob, bank transfer or cash at our agency in Telemly, Algiers.
