My stay here far exceeded expectations. The hotel's location is absolutely perfect, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and shopping. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk service was warm and attentive, check-in was efficient and quick, and all the staff were very friendly. The facilities were comprehensive, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and elegant. It offers incredible value for money, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit. Highly recommended!
The hotel, while a bit old, is well-maintained with a stylish decor. Its location right on the Nile offers beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Avoid the coffee in the hotel lobby – it's almost 50 RMB a cup, ridiculously overpriced. You're better off crossing the street to Oliver for coffee instead.
Also, tipping doesn't seem to work well in Cairo. I slipped the front desk a tip and ended up with a room with a very mediocre view. There are no supermarkets or convenience stores near the hotel, and not many dining options either. You have to take a taxi everywhere, making it feel less convenient than staying on the opposite bank. The hotel is on a major road, and crossing it can be quite daunting.
On a positive note, the Byredo toiletries provided are excellent.
Hotel was good overall , considering its price and location. The entrance is actually at the back alley from the main street but it is not dangerous even for ladies.
You will need to take the lift up to the 5 th floor reception where they will greet you. Breakfast was served at their ‘restaurant’ and cannot be taken away. They serve at 8am , which I think is a little late since many tours starts around that time too. Breakfast is hearty so we enjoyed it very much !
For the room, it is ok. The building is old so we can’t complain too much. Room is clean and big , so is the toilet.
We were also told that we have to leave our keys at the reception when we head out for the day. Then when we come back we can collect the keys again at the reception. Not ideal since we planned to leave some cash and some valuables in the room. We had no problem with our items but you may consider this if you are concern about privacy of your property.
Overall we had a good stay.
Fantastic location with beautiful Nile views — I could even see the Pyramids from my balcony. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, and it was convenient to have an on-site ATM with no extra fees. However, the staffs at the main entrance came across as a bit pushy (not sure if it’s a cultural thing or just individual attitude). Check-in and check-out were also quite slow, with about a 10–15 minute wait both times. The biggest issue was the hair dryer: it was very old and visibly damaged, patched with white tape, and it actually gave me an electric shock as it cracked while I was using it. This really shouldn’t happen at a well-known hotel chain.
I caught the early flight to the airport. I had a few simple breakfasts and went to the lobby. After waiting for the arrival of the shuttle bus, I found that I accidentally left the passport bag and there was cash in the restaurant bag. After a while, the staff helped me deliver it very much. But later, when I got off the plane and exchanged money, I found that the cash inside must have lost the cash banknote of 250💶. The whole passport bag in Egypt was with me all the way. I lost almost ten minutes at this moment, and then unfortunately I had to end my trip to Egypt. I have left a message to the hotel to adjust the monitoring, but I don't know if there is any feedback and whether it can be found. At present, people have been to Tunisia to play, and the cash euros for the hotel are not enough!
赶早班机去机场,简单吃了几口早餐去大厅等接送大巴到时后,发现不小心遗落护照包在餐厅包里有现金,不一会儿有工作人员帮忙送了过来很感谢,但是后来下飞机换钱的时候却发现里面的现金定丢失了现金纸币250💶。整个护照包埃及全程都在身边,就这一会儿丢了差不多十分钟,然后很遗憾得结束了埃及之旅。 已经给酒店留言调监控但是不知道有没有反馈,能不能找回来。目前人到突尼斯 玩了,付酒店的现金欧元都不够了,晕😵💫!
This is supposed to be a high-end hotel, yet the kettle in my room was broken upon check-in. The breakfast spread was ample, but the cold water served by the waitress in a glass cup tasted distinctly like tap water, and I couldn't tell if it was even mineral water. I'd really suggest the hotel management try a sip of the cold water served by the waitstaff, then a sip of tap water in a guest room, and finally a sip of actual mineral water. Even a three-star hotel shouldn't have such issues.
Wow, this place is really great and offers excellent value for money. The facilities are top-notch, and the other guests are very polite and respectful of personal space. The staff here are some of the best English speakers I've encountered in Egypt. They were incredibly caring and thoughtful when I asked them to help me communicate with locals. One lady even helped me loosely plan my itinerary for the next few days. I'd definitely love to come back and stay in one of their private rooms if I get the chance.
Excellent place and great people
I was visiting Cairo for several days to refresh old memories because I have lived in Zamalek 50 years ago. I looked for the hotel just somewhere in the heart of Northern part of Zamalek, and location at Taha Hussein street was the best possible option, so I have chosen The President hotel.
I had just general expectations as from regular three star hotel, but staff and hotel amenities have exceeded my humble expectations far beyond!
The room was very clean and spacious, slippers, toothbrush, shower supplies, teapot, tea, coffee bags, minibar - everything was very nice and provided.
Starting from security at entrance and reception (I was put to the level where restaurant is for my convenience), everyone was very nice and polite to me. Housekeeping by Mohammed Eldeep was perfect. Service at breakfast was outstanding (and at dinner too), and chef Mitu had cooked the most delicious food with personal attention and kindness.
And tour service provided by manager Dahy was beyond perfection - utmost and ultimately outstanding and fabulous. I was taking complex trips around the city and transfer to the airport. With the greatest scrutinous attention to details from Dahy I got excellent service and very professional drivers so my trips were exceptionally planned and fulfilled in time.
To wrap up, I strongly recommend the President hotel due to mostly positive and splendid emotions I have received there during my 3-nights stay. Area has great infrastructure once you need 24/7 groceries, pharmacy or ATM. Don't recommend to drive in Zamalek, better take cab or walk.
The hotel's location is great, within walking distance of the terminal, perfect for resting and recovering after a long flight. The facilities and service are also very good. While the amenities might not be on par with five-star hotels in China, they are still excellent and don't have the outdated feel of some hotels in downtown Cairo. Very good overall.
Very beautiful hotel with wonderful location and so much details highly recommended for the people who looking for special location in Cairo and beautiful place

3320255****This hotel is very close to Cairo International Airport and has a great atmosphere, even with peacocks roaming the grounds. I chose a ground-floor room with a courtyard, which was right across from the pool. There are also various restaurants offering different cuisines nearby.

GGuest UserThe hotel staff was incredibly friendly, and the view from the window was exceptionally beautiful. Due to my busy business schedule, I couldn't experience all the facilities, but overall, the hotel was excellent.
AAnonymous UserIn general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights.
Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building.
* Location & Transportation
Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum.
And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price.
In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes
Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones.
Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it.
* Building and room conditions
Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room.
It is quite convenient a washstand in each room.
However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler.
It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel.
* Cleanness & Safety
Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this.
* Services
There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water.
Wifi is too weak to use the internet.
Other services like laundry are satisfied.
* Others
During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally.
In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better.
And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable.
Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.
RricksterI needed to stay here for a business trip. The good points are the consistently high quality of the St. Regis rooms, the abundant breakfast, and I loved the swimming pool.
The downside is the location. The new capital city is so new; the nearest shopping mall is a 30-minute drive away, and because it's so new, even ride-hailing services are hard to find. The hotel only has two restaurants.
GGuest UserThe staff of this hotel was not good, At about 8 PM in the evening, the hotel front desk staff called the room and said that the hotel we booked only allows one person to stay. If two people stay, they need to add an additional fee of 70 US dollars. Very unlogic, so I leave my friend and I booked another hotel.but the facilities and environment is good .only their service is bad

An Exceptional and Memorable Stay at Tolip Olympic City!
”First and foremost, I want to highlight the outstanding level of security and the pristine, cozy atmosphere of the rooms. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience for me and my family.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the incredible team who made our stay so special:
* Ahmed (Bellboy) for his warm and welcoming assistance.
* The Reception Team (Moaman, Gehad, and Amina) for a highly professional and seamless check-in experience, as well as their attentive responsiveness throughout the day. A special thanks to their wonderful Team Manager, Mr. Karim.
* The Room Service Team for their dedication and impeccable attention to detail.
* A very special appreciation to the Restaurant Team—every single waiter was attentive and polite. The culinary experience was extraordinary, thanks to the two highly professional chefs, brilliantly led by Chef Hosny Amin.
Naturally, such sustained excellence reflects a highly professional, aware, and dynamic management, perfectly represented by the esteemed General Manager, Mr. Mohamed Abdel Aal.
You have undoubtedly left the absolute best impression on my family and me regarding Tolip Hotels, and specifically this magnificent Tolip Olympic City branch. Highly recommended!”
إقامة استثنائية وتجربة لا تُنسى في توليب المدينة الأولمبية!
”أولاً وقبل كل شيء، حابب أشيد بمستوى الأمان العالي جداً في الفندق، ونظافة الغرف المريحة اللي خلت إقامتنا العائلية ممتازة من أول لحظة. طاقم العمل هناك رائع واحترافي لأبعد الحدود.
حابب أوجه شكر خاص جداً بالأسماء للناس اللي تعبت معانا وخلو إقامتنا مميزة:
* أحمد (Bell Boy) على استقباله الممتاز وذوقه.
* فريق الاستقبال (مؤمن، جهاد، وأمينة) على تعاونهم واحترافيتهم العالية في إجراءات الدخول، واستجابتهم السريعة والممتازة طول اليوم. وشكر خاص لمديرهم الرائع أستاذ كريم.
* فريق خدمة الغرف بالكامل على مجهودهم واهتمامهم بكل التفاصيل.
* وشكر كبير جداً ومخصوص لـ فريق المطعم، من أول الويترز اللي كانوا في منتهى الذوق والاهتمام، لحد الشيفات المحترفين جداً، بقيادة الشيف المبدع حسني أمين.
وأكيد طالما كل التفاصيل دي هايلة وممتازة كده، يبقى ده انعكاس لإدارة احترافية، واعية، ونشيطة، متمثلة في المدير المحترف والمحترم أستاذ محمد عبد العال.
بجد الفندق ده ساب عندي وعند عيلتي أحسن انطباع ممكن عن سلسلة فنادق توليب، وبالأخص فرع المدينة الأولمبية الرائع ده. تجربة ممتازة وبرشحه بقوة!”
GGuest UserWe stayed in this hotel for the night since we arrived one day before our tour group . Our requirement was to have a comfortable sleep for the night . I have seen many reviews complaining about difficulty in finding the novotel shuttle bus from airport to hotel . However , we had a receiving person from our tour group , who helped to call the driver and coordinated our boarding of shuttle bus. so we did not face that problem . We were picked up at the airport.
Hotel staff were kind and helpful . We had both dinner and breakfast in the hotel . Since it was Feb 14th there was a young lady who gave a rose to me in the restaurant to give to my wife. Nice gesture . we loved it.
It was comfortable stay , room was just right . Food was good . Our return back to airport was easy using the shuttle bus. Thanks for the good stay.
