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. When we first got to our room the TV was unplugged and the wires for the plugs were frayed, the shower did not have hot water, and the toilet would not flush. After going down and nicely asking reception to... More

We won a trip from DSTV in Sep 2010, we were so exited and decided to take our kids with as it would be our first trip abroad as a family. The travel agency told us that we are staying at a three star hotel which includes breakfast. When we arrived at the hotel it looked like the place was... More

We expected it to be a 4 star, but when we landed we just found that there are 4 golden stars in reception and they showed it and said that they got 4 star certification, haha was... More

hotel president is located in zamalek the nile island in the diplomatic area. so for first: it is to far from the bursting city. second: if you are traveling on your own there are no shops close to the hotel, for a busy street you have to walk about 30 minutes. the staff is friendly, the rooms we had were...

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

We stayed here one night because the lights went out in our apartment. We were quoted one price over the phone, then upon dragging all our luggage to the hotel, we were given a higher price. They wouldnt accomodate a late check out. The room was filthy, and old. There was no heating, but they bought an old raggedy heater... More

The hotel is well placed, central, calm and safe. The staff as always, friendly and helpful. My stay was during the run-up to and unfolding of the protests and effective shut-down of commerce, and it should be said that despite their worries and privations, the staff behaved with exemplary consideration to all. Rooms are adequate for the price. If we’re... More

Spacious room, good view, staff were good. But you have to always give tips, its like the bell boy won't leave the room without a tip. The room could do with kettle, tea and coffee facility. There was no problem for taxis. More
