I don’t know where some of the other reviewers have stayed in the past that gave this hotel four or five stars but I would not want to stay in a place they thought was marginal. I hope Trip Advisor is making sure these ratings aren’t coming from travel agents or hired hotel writers. Our group of 17 travelers was... more

We were quite cynical after reading the negative feedback but we were in for a shock. The staff were very very pleasant and helpful and we had an amazing room with a huge balcony looking over the city. Although the room was not modern-it was very clean and comfortable and we always had a good nights sleep in the beds.... more

We were extremely pleased with our 5 day stay at the President. It was more comfortable then another much more expensive 5 star hotel we stayed at in Egypt. Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews on this site. Due to them, we were a little skeptical, but were pleasantly surprised. We had two different rooms, the large room with... more

The carpets were extremly dirty and the bedcover was not inviting. We got bitten at night by a lot of moskitos but I sill belive that it... more

We stay for 2 nights and it wasn’t a good start to our holiday. The rooms are small with no view at all, actually looked in a wall. The bathrooms had no shower curtain so the water went everywhere, which wasn’t great and as for the mould on the walls really not what one expects. As far as location it... more

We (a young couple) stayed at President Hotel in Zamalek for 4 nights. Overall it was OK experience when you think of the price of the hotel. But mind you, it is certainly nothing fancy, comfortable nor relaxing place. Good points of this hotel was: -The reception was helpful and effective. -Breakfast was satisfactory (not a lot of selection, but... more

My partner and I stayed at the President Hotel, Zamalek, for four nights in Nov/Dec 2008, and found it to be a lovely budget hotel. Zamalek is a perfect place to stay in Cairo, as it is a quiet residential area of town away from the insane business of central Cairo. We found the rooms to be bigger than we... more
