Fodor's Expert Review Sea Star
24 Shar'a Amin Fikhry, Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt
A rather basic hotel, Sea Star's greatest appeal is its location. If you are on a budget, it's a clean if uninspiring option that's close to the tram station and within walking distance of Downtown, the museum, the library, and food courts. Decor is minimalist 1980s kitsch against a backdrop of plain, whitewashed walls, but the rooms and suites are spacious and many have large balconies.
PROS
- the large suites are an affordable option for groups
- clean option for the price
- location means you're in the heart of the action but on a quieter side street
CONS
- very ordinary decor
- no on-site restaurant
- prices can change on a whim, so make sure to negotiate
