Middle East Hotel, Giza

The room itself and bathroom were quite clean and nice, though the hotel lobby was filled with cigarette smoke. As a solo female traveler, I had several quite serious problems here. One of the employees tried to make advances on me in the elevator; someone (it had to have been a hotel employee) unlocked the deadbolt on my room door while I was inside and only the chain on the door stopped him from entering (though he profusely apologized after my appalled reaction); and there were no locks on the windows in my room. It was not a safe place for me as a non-Muslim western female traveling alone, though the staff were very friendly. I overall felt very uncomfortable being stared at by all of the male employees whenever I came out of my room (despite being dressed very conservatively).
