Sea Star Reviews

Nice period hotel close to the Mediterranean

The hotel is very basic but it is centrally located very close to the train station and the library of Alexandria which is within walking distance, it also has several convenient stores to buy water and sweets. The bed was very hard and the noise from the street came into the room. The room was also very cold. And it smelled a lot of tobacco on the 5th floor. Unfortunately I got sick from the smell while staying at the hotel.

The location is good, but the facilities are problematic. First of all, Wifi doesn't work. And even though it's winter, the air conditioner doesn't work in all the rooms. So we had to spend a very cold night. To be honest, I don't recommend staying here at all.

The room is OK, but there is no electric kettle

Good, worth a night

Well enough. very close to the sea

It’s a 2 star hotel. I booked it because it’s central, close to everything. The pictures were decent and nice, but the reality was completely different when they showed me the rooms. I was devastated and not happy with the condition of the rooms, very old, very updated but the manager after I wanted to make a cancellation gave me an upgrade. The room was better with the sea view. Location of the hotel is not on the sea, but you can still see it from far. Mattress were so comfy I like firm mattresses and they have very firm ones. They had elevator problems in the beginning. They fixed it but elevator always stopping halfway etc.. The staff were cooperative except that young man during night shift, he was not fit for his job and never said hello or thank you or tried to fake a smile. Other staff members were very respectful and nice to me. Manager was unhappy cause I was not happy with the hotel and wanted to cancel than when he did gave me a better room all went well. The power cut off between 3 and 5 every day in Egypt - hotel have no generator. My room was quiet - away from noise - They do give you a soap and a small towel and toilet paper roll when needed. They do not have big shower towels. No coffee machines or any electric equipment to make tea or Nescafé. Breakfast was not included. They are remodeling and renovating rooms so there was construction going on. Air conditioner was good and worked well. TV have lots of channels but wish the size was bit bigger.

As soon as I arrived the problems started, as the doorman contradicted the booking website and wanted to charge more and in pounds, not dollars. He told me to pay the manager the next day. He is very friendly, helpful and charged less. But the hotel has no structure. I regret the day I booked or didn't cancel. The bathroom is horrible, taking a shower is chaos in the shower. The air conditioning is off, there's no need for it, but they even removed the wire that would connect it. And they don't serve breakfast.

Welcoming and helpful English speaking staff. Great location close to corniche and station. Simple rooms, but sufficient for the price paid, so all in all it's fine. Cleaning ok.
