New Star Hotel

"The hotel is old and nothing to write home about, but it's on par with other medium rated hotels in Cairo and the rooms are massive. So a big plus there. The staff is friendly, and the location is super. Would recommend for a budget and concious of where you are going,"

"The New Star exceeded my expectations. For a 3 Star hotel, reasonably priced, the room was spacious, clean, well-equipped, the breakfast varied and ample, the staff friendly and helpful. The New Star is near Safaa Hegazy Metro station, only 2 or 3 stops from Cairo Centre. It is in a side street of a bright old part of the city, with good food shops and interesting art galleries. The only noise at night was from the aircon units. I always travel with ear plugs so this was no problem. I slept well in the wide firmish bed. If you want to feel comfortable in Cairo, and not in an outpost of global corporate hospitality, you will enjoy the New Star as I did."

"New Star Hotel is situated on the island Zamalek on the Nile in the centre of Cairo. This is the most exclusive part of the city with many embassies and international schools for the children of diplomats who live and work here. The hotel is located in a quiet side street away from the hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfare that runs through Zamalek but you can reach the main street with its many shops and restaurants in a few minutes walk. The museum and Tahir Square are not too far across the bridge over the river. New Star is one of the cheaper hotels in this rather expensive area but it offers good value for money. The staff are very helpful and the chambermaid Nadeh will keep your room spotless and clean."
