Hotel location was ideal for our trips. Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms cleaned daily, fresh towels. If ever back in Cairo would consider staying there again.
I would recommend they consider some of the charges, appreciate they are a business and need to make money but also need to look after their customers. For example a taxi to the airport was equivelent to £26, compared to Uber at £5
Otherwise very pleasant safe stay

The hotel is in an excellent location in Zamalek, close to many local restaurants, sights, and shops.

The staff is very friendly and eager to help, although better attention to detail is needed. If I asked for something through the front desk, I might have to call again and chase; room service one day forgot to leave any towels in the room. These are very minor, but noticeable things (yes, after a shower you'll feel it if you're missing towels!).

The onsite restaurant is great for a varied menu and breakfast, while there's also a French bakery at the ground floor serving lovely pastries.

The one big issue we had regarded the cleanliness of the floors, which was... not good. The floors in our room were laminate of some sort, and the bottoms of our feet were black after walking barefoot for a few minutes. I witnessed room service cleaning it using some sort detergent, but the grime was such that the cleaning product seems to just accumulate in dusty layers. Anyway, be ready to clean your feet often, and wear the slippers provided (yes, they do provide these!)

Aside from the floor cleanliness part, I was very happy with my stay and would consider returning again as it was a good price for thr location and overall quality.

Our stay at The President Hotel was lovely. We were only in Cairo for 2 nights but this was the perfect base. The hotel itself is really nicely decorated with everything you could need. The staff were super helpful and always there in case we needed anything, especially the reception team. Breakfast in the Terrace bar was really good and portions were also a really good size. A special shout out to Dahy who arranged our trip to the Pyramids, he sorted everything at really short notice and kept checking on us throughout the day to make sure we were ok. A lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the president hotel. The staff were really friendly and we were thankful to be able to check in early after a long flight that arrived at 5am. This cost an additional $40 which we didn't think was unreasonable.

The overall experience was great. The neighbourhood was great and very walkable with some nice restaurants by the Nile in close proximity.

There was a bit of noise from the local school but nothing that kept us awake. The air conditioning in the room wasn't the greatest and the safe didn't have any batteries, so we couldn't use that. Staff did offer to help but we decided against it.

Overall I would recommend this hotel as a great place to stay in Zamalek.

To be expected anywhere you go there. Good hotel but you can see everything worth it in 2 days (pyramids, sphinx, museum, local cuisine) so dont stay longer then you need to. I felt safe walking around and people outside local market vendors were really nice. Easy subway to use also.

Disappointing. WiFi terrible

Have been visiting Egypt for 12 years on business and been trying to find a hotel that reflects the price paid. I stayed here because Marriott is now charging $300 versus this at around $200. I think both are very overpriced. This hotel has some good elements… the breakfast was the best I’ve had in Egypt. There is a dedicated showers rather than a bath with a curtain.
But:
… The internet speed is consistently terrible. When there is any internet at all. There is no excuse for this since internet is a cheap fix.
… carpets need to be vacuumed
… the shower gels and shampoos look used, and cheap
… it is very noisy
… reception is on the ground floor, rooms are on 10/11/12. There is one small elevator (and a staff one). So wait times can be more than 5 minutes.
… most room fittings seem very cheap

Rooms were beautiful and well kept, clean, and astonishing view from the balcony. Zamalek can be noisy but you don’t hear much sound in the rooms so it’s nice and quiet for the most part.

I stayed in this hotel on two separate nights. The first night was in a horribly noisy room and the second night was in an overly hot room in which the AC was not working. In both cases the staff make a show of doing something about the problem, but nothing gets done. The AC repairman came into the room, made a mess removing a panel, then disappeared after concluding that the problem was \"downstairs.\" I was not offered a different room or even an apology and the AC was still broken the next morning. The bellboy watched me carry my heavy suitcases by myself up several flights of stairs into the hotel then expected a tip for rolling them into the elevator and into my room, which I could have done by myself with less effort and delay. The front desk staff need to be trained to speak with guests more politely (yelling \"passport\" at me during checkin is very rude). Also, giving a person's room key to the bellboy instead of the guest who is checking in is highly inappropriate. I only selected this hotel for its location, but I don't think I'll book with them again.

By lack of attention to detail I’m referring to the room’s stained mirror, dripping air conditioner, window left open and difficult to close properly, and no cups to drink the complimentary tea and coffee from. However, the room was clean and the beds comfortable. The breakfast selection was pretty good. Sadly, the fool beans were runny and unappetising and there was no hummus. The coffee wasn’t very good. All in all, it’s ok but could be much better.

So the rooms were really nice in this newly renovated area of the hotel. The staff was great. Only two problems we had were:
1. We were on the 10th floor and the restaurant was on the 11th so you could hear a lot of chairs sliding and foot traffic noise. 2. The room door key did not work so it was an inconvenience to get someone with a master key to open the room every time. Other than that I would stay here again but on a different floor with a key that worked!!!

Problem of noise - \"Easy\" to improve

The first night was horrible, They build their hotel with cheap quality for their windows.
I got a lot of noise from the exterior and I was coming from a night flight, so I got 2 nights without well sleeping. Then they changed my room, windows were the same, but this side of the hotel was calmer.
They still use plastic package.

Except this point, I have to say that the service is really good, people are always smile and trying to help you.
The breakfast is good, and I liked the atmosphere of the hotel.
And the location is super if you want to stay in Zamalek.

So unfortunately, for me, the comfort is the main point, and if they change their windows, It could be a good stay.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. Traffic can be overwhelming on average it took about 45 minutes to get to different attractions throughout the city. The hotel is in more a residential area, lots of locals. The hotel is in walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shops. It is connected to the New President hotel. Together they share 3 restaurants which is good. The breakfast option was okay. I thought they offered something for everyone to eat. The gym was clean and up to date. For the most part the staff was friendly. I thought the female staff were not that friendly. Considering they are in a hospitality industry; they should be inviting to all staff regardless of cultural backgrounds. My only suggestion would be to more trash cans in the rooms and the elevator could be quicker.

there was horrific mold in the bathrooms. Some rooms have less than others, but the place isn't clean. The stairs are filthy and the bathrooms are unsanitary. I left asap. In all fairness they gave me a full refund minus the first day. There was no one on staff to assure my full refund so I had to wait until the following day for the person to get in and even then, I had to be the one to follow through with multiple phone calls for someone to assist me. Expedia should have transferred me out of the hotel right away and guaranteed a refund, but they didn't.
