Offering beautiful accommodation and excellent meeting facilities, this property is an ideal place for both leisure and business travellers.
Location Located in the centre of Cairo on the island of Zamalek, President Hotel is in between the branches of the River Nile crossing Cairo. This area is recognised as one of the quietest residential areas in Cairo being close to a number of the foreign embassies.
Rooms Offering excellent views over Cairo, this hotel boasts comfortable rooms that are well decorated and equipped with several modern amenities.
Restaurant The gourmet restaurant serves oriental and continental dishes surrounded by a lovely view of the Zamalek Island. Guests can also enjoy the same view with a relaxing drink in the Roof Bar.
General The hotel provides a business centre where you can easily accommodate to organise conference or seminars. During leisure, you can explore the beautiful city and its attractions.
The location in Zamalek is great because it is quiet and the old villas of the Embassy district and great to look at. There was a fantastic restaurant called "Crave " right next door that does excellent modern Italian. The rooms are plain but clean, although the carpeting in rooms and hallways is old and somewhat spotted and stained. There is internet service, but a bit pricey (40 L.E. per hour).
They do serve alcohol in the lobby bar.

As an Egyptian Hotel this fits into the mid range - its clean and tidy, but tatty, with wallpaper colour shades not matching and the floor bouncy in places in the corridor. But as a place to stay it was fine.
The general problem with Egyptian Hotels is that the cheap are very bad, the mid range [this falls into that category] OK, but tatty and the top hotels extremely extremely expensive. You won't find a mid-range that is comparable with a mid-range in the west.

The hotel is okay for budget tours and the surrounding are okay. They change the linens daily and the staff are very friendly. But I think they need to upgrade their linens because some of it looks a little dark. We also saw a couple of raoches and a bedbug, so I hope they will do something about it. The toilet is really nice!!!
Over all, they hotel is grat!
