New President Hotel Cairo

Such friendly staff who went above and beyond. Very clean room, comfortable beds and a nice rainfall shower for washing off the desert. There’s a great Italian restaurant attached to the hotel and a good rooftop terrace restaurant in the sister hotel next door. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The hotel is great is all aspects but where it really excels is the people. Every person you meet is warm, friendly, very welcoming, and good at their jobs. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in many countries and the New President staff rate right up there with the best.

Staff excellent. They really went out of their way for me. I had a schedule conflict where I booked the wrong day…they not only tried to help but got me in next door for that evening. After flying 19 hours - that gesture alone really stuck with me. Roomwise very clean and great WiFi. Breakfast Nextdoor (as they are both President hotel) was incredible. The staff there also exceptional! Location wise - you’re on embassy row in Zamalek. Perfectly safe and everyone is walking around at night (families etc.) which is a good sign in my book.

At one point, I was inclined to give this hotel a one-star rating, but the consistently professional service changed my mind. Special thanks to Nada from housekeeping—she is attentive, proactive, and always greets guests with a cheerful smile. The facility is new and very clean. Towels are of good quality, and the bed sheets are spotless. The bed and pillows are also very comfortable. While the breakfast price is relatively high by local standards, it is reasonable considering the quality and variety of the buffet. We often slept with the windows open to enjoy the pleasant breeze, and the quiet location made this possible. The only noise we noticed was around 8:00 am, likely from nearby schoolchildren. There are many coffee shops within walking distance that stay open until midnight, as well as several nearby attractions. On the downside, there were a couple of safety-related concerns. There is a protruding step that I nearly tripped over, which even damaged my new tennis shoes. Additionally, a cabinet drawer tends to slide open on its own and sits directly in the path between the bed and the bathroom, posing a potential hazard if not noticed. Another drawback is the lack of comfortable seating in the room. There is no sofa or couch, and the available chairs are not particularly comfortable.
