GOLDEN HOTEL CAIRO, EGYPT -- 10

3-Star Hotel that Offers 10-Star Service at Backpacker Prices
There is one quirk that might put some people off, but it is not uncommon for small, family-operated hotels in Africa, the Middle East and Turkey. 

You have to leave your room key at the desk when leaving…whether it’s for the day, a few hours or to run next door for some shawarma.

It does prevent one from carrying around a big key fob, or losing one’s key on the never-ending streets of Cairo.

I don’t remember a room safe, but I felt 100% secure leaving spare camera lenses, cash and valuables (tucked in a slot in my suitcase) in the room while staff had access to make the bed, empty the baskets and leave everything super clean.

I simply cannot imagine Nabil, the owner, hiring or tolerating a person who would mess with belongings in a guestroom.
