I have been lucky to travel to several wonderful locations around the world on an economy budget, and after staying at New Palace Hotel for the past week I can truly say that this was one of the best experiences I have ever had anywhere! The staff here are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable with good TV, frig, Wifi, etc, the roof top cafe and housekeeping are very good, etc. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Cairo, and the staff are great with helping arrange tours and transportation. The experience at New Palace Hotel truly helped make my visit to Egypt a wonderful journey to this beautiful historic area of the world!
