Very nice hotel located by the airport. Very quiet from both aircraft and road noise. Extensive grounds, lovely to stroll around and places to rest. Good sized, well equipped rooms. Efficient lifts and plenty of eateries to choose from. Friendly efficient staff. Nice size swimming pool and separate children's area. Highly recommend.
My flight arrived really early, and it was a super short walk from the airport – just off the skybridge! I was so surprised and happy that the hotel front desk allowed me to check in early. It was perfect! I could get into my room, freshen up, and then head out to explore right away. This hotel is incredibly convenient for transit passengers! The room was clean, comfortable, and absolutely great!
Lovely smart hotel. Several restaurants. Massage and gym. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel nice sbd roomy. Rooms spacious. Would stay there again but if you want to be in the town centre with many shops you need to stay closer to city centre as this, was, about 30 minutes from airport. It didn't matter because everything is a short cheap taxi fare away. Also it's next to a military camp where you can see and hear the soldiers marching from your balcony. If the bugle noise bothers, you at 6am then maybe not for you. Also, but not related to the hotel you'll be woken up at 4am by the, wailing from the mosques but you can't really get away from that can you. The hotel I understand is, owned by the military and so you'll often see soldiers stay there. They weren't any trouble. In fact it made you feel safe.
The hotel is located in the new part of Cairo, with easy access to the Giza Pyramids and the market. However, it was a little difficult to find, and I was worried about the elevator going up to the third floor. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was also delicious.
Our honeymoon at your hotel was truly unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and we had a wonderful evening at the revolving restaurant, which boasted not only magnificent views but also a delightful atmosphere.
However, what impressed us most was the incredible honesty and integrity of your hotel team. My wallet was lost, and the hotel staff went to great lengths to find and return it to me; their kindness truly saved our trip. We sincerely thank Mohamed and his colleagues for helping my husband recover his wallet, and also thank Alaa Ahmed at the front desk for her warm and professional service, as well as many other friendly staff members. Their kindness made our honeymoon even more perfect. We highly recommend this hotel to all guests seeking excellent service and a wonderful holiday experience!
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 room was a bit small, and there was a strange smell coming from one side of the bed, though I couldn't pinpoint the source. The shower knob was incredibly stiff; I had to use all my strength just to turn it on. The worst part was check-in. After a 10-hour flight, I arrived at the hotel around 1 PM, only to be told the room wasn't ready and I'd have to wait 45 minutes. So I waited. An hour later, I checked again, and it still wasn't ready. Another 30 minutes went by, and when I inquired again, I was told it still wasn't ready. Meanwhile, other guests were checking in at the front desk, and none of them seemed to be waiting. It wasn't until past 3 PM, on my fourth attempt, that the front desk initially told me to wait again. I then mentioned that the lobby air conditioning was too cold and I wasn't feeling well. Only then did the front desk say 'Okay...' and promptly made our room cards. It really felt like they had rooms available but just weren't giving them out...
The bed and pillows were good; I slept very well for both nights.
However, there was always a loud noise in the middle of the night... It sounded like huge pipes or some machinery running.
The room came with a universal adapter, which was a thoughtful touch.
I was very satisfied; this stay far exceeded my expectations! The hotel's location is excellent, close to the airport. The front desk staff were warm and professional, check-in was quick, and they even thoughtfully upgraded my room. The room was very clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and I slept soundly all night. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and the water pressure and temperature were very stable. I especially want to commend the breakfast; it was varied, a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, and the taste was fantastic. In short, every step from check-in to check-out was comfortable and satisfying, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit this city!
The room is clean and spacious, as is the bathroom.
Electrical outlets near the bed were not easily accessible.
For the other services offered by the hotel we did not have time to use them but there is no information on access times and the price of the services which is a shame.
Otherwise establishment in a quiet place and guarded by check points.
The team doesn't speak English well so it's difficult to be understood when you don't know Arabic.
Exceeded expectations! The location is superb, with plenty of options for sightseeing, taxis, and dining nearby. If you enjoy nightlife, it's also easy to get a taxi to Zamalek. Throughout Cairo, getting a taxi around Tahrir Square was the most convenient, and all rides were based on metered fares. In more remote areas, drivers often cancel orders and demand flat rates, but you won't encounter that in the city center here. The room was exceptionally spacious, the staff were friendly, and the buffet was so delicious we didn't want to leave. Remember to bring an EU plug adapter!
