I was visiting Cairo on business Trip with my friends and we need to attended office in the centre of Cairo, so this hotel is the perfect location as it's on the Zamalak Nile Island. Can be hard to move around at peak times as traffic is busy, but you can walk to everything you need. We did have time... More

The hotel in a decent part of cairo (Zamalek), its easy to go from the hotel to most attractions in cairo , apart from the pyramids and Sakkara, by taxi, there are many nearby restaurants and cafes. The hotel is famus for its pub (the cellar), where you can have a very good food from 12.30 PM till 2AM, beside... More

The President Hotel was an ideal affordable home base for exploring Cairo. My room was clean and comfortable, the staff and management were helpful and responsive. Most amenities not available in the hotel were within a few blocks--the Zamalek neighborhood is very accessible and friendly to a non-Arabic-speaking foreign visitor. I would particularly recommend the driver I hired via the... More

well I have tried this hotel for a couple of times for short visits to Cairo, it is actually a place to sleep at night in a very central location in Cairo and a quiet area also, but every thing is very very basic, you just get what you pay for, and prices compared with other nearby high edge hotels...

This hotel was horrible. I have stayed in hostels for less than half the price and had a better experience.

I would not recommend this hotel, first the stinky bed, smells like they did not change it for so many years, even the closet, smells like dirty laundry. In toilet, they dont have a complimentary toiletries. When we ask the bell boy if they have a tooth brush because we forgot to bring one, they didnt know what toothbrush is... More
