New Saint Catherine Hotel

Comfortable room, staff were really really nice and very helpful

I had a really good stay. The hotel offers great value for money, the staff were very respectful and helpful, and overall everything was comfortable and pleasant.

The only things missing were a kettle in the room, a small table, and a bathroom floor squeegee. Otherwise everything was fine.

This hotel is at a walkable distance from the luxor temple and 2.5 km from karnak temple. The only drawback is it is situated in a busy market area but was easily accessible and taxis were readily available. Once inside, the whole staff is very helpful and friendly. No scams at all in this hotel. Upon our entry, Mr. Kerlos said "we can provide whatever you require inside the hotel and can arrange taxis." The general manager, Mr. Kerlos is a gem of a person. They will try their best to make your stay comfortable. We tried dinner. It was tasty and economical compared to outside restaurants. Everywhere outside, they try to scam you, virtually everyone on the street. Rooms are neat and clean but require a revamp, especially the furniture. Though not very spacious, it was comfortable enough.

The only drawback is that the hotel is located in a busy market area with a lot of noise all night. One night, a huge fight happened outside with a lot of shouting and thud noises from 2:30 am to 4 am disrupting our sleep. Many bikers joined there shouting, though I didn't get up to check what was happening outside. Even otherwise, on all days, a lot of youngsters make huge noise with altered silencers throughout the night. On the second day also, someone was making a lot of noise at around 4-5 am, again troubling us. Our room was on the third floor.

This is fair budget property
