Kings Palace

This is a budget hotel. Its up about 4 flights of stairs. I stayed with my 3 children and found the staff friendly and very helpful, they did us a picnic breakfast when we left very early to get a flight, and also refunded some money which they did not have to. Its also in a central part of Cairo and easy to get to places of interest.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful. We were treated like family. Guests gathered in the lobby every evening for tea or coffee (freshly prepared and complimentary) and shared experiences and tips. One night traditional Egyptian fare was brought in for everyone (again complimentary). I will definitly stay there on my next trip. Hello to everyone if you read this!

The 104 steps from the sidewalk to the lobby. The elevator was broken.

Central location

The fact that the hotel is reached by climbing exactly 105 stairs (no elevator) from street level. This should be mentioned in web site because I would hate to have made reservations only to find out about the climb and not be medically able to get to the hotel ie. heart condition
