Windows are paper thin and you can hear everything going on at street level.

I'm really picky and I loved this hotel. Great neighborhood, I felt safe walking around as a single woman and there were tons of great dining options nearby. The hotel was really clean and nice. As many other reviews mention, the tour operator Khalid (Egypt Dreamers) was really excellent and took me around for three days showing me all the main sites and some off-the-beaten path.

We had a great stay at the new president hotel for 4 nights. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even gifted us a fruit platter ome day. Especially when the water used to leak out of the shower cubicle. Only issue was the shower cubicle. A step ledge needs to be added so water doesn't come out everytime one showers. The area Zamalek was safe and we could walk at night without feeling scared. There are so many nice restaurants, cafés and dessert lounges in that area and every few km there were police cars. The breakfast was in the next door hotel and food was good.

Clean, safe, modern and friendly mid-class hotel in the middle of Zamalek. I travelled solo as a Scandinavian woman and found the area very safe both day and night. A great base for exploring Cairo. The nearest metro station (the metro is very convenient for getting around the city) is a 5-6 minutes walk away. Also a good selection of restaurants, coffeeshops, breakfast places and bars around. If you don't fancy going out at night there is an italian restaurant next to the hotel lobby with indoor and ourdoor seating. Will stay again next time I go to Cairo.

We stayed several days at the New President, and we were so happy with the hotel staff - all were very genuinely friendly and nice and care about providing exceptional service. The rooms were very modern and clean, and the location was perfect, in a very safe part of Cairo - we never got hassled or had any problems walking around at night, and there are many nice cafes and restaurants in the area. It was also nice to have access to a gym, which had nice views over the skyline. We will definitely be back in the future, happy to recommend !

The staff are incredible, they are all genuinely nice and passionate about their jobs. We stayed 3 times during a 2 week Egypt trip (between tours), and they held our luggage and remembered us each time we checked in again. It’s very personal service which I love. Facilities are very modern, well looked after and most importantly, very clean. Perfect location, within 5-15 mins walk of restaurants and cafes in each direction, plus an Italian restaurant downstairs which we didn’t get to visit but was very buzzy. Would come back if we visit Cairo again!

Staff is amazing. Hotel is great

Excellent value for money. the room I had at the new president was small but yet renovated with very good mattress. The smile and the professionalism of the lady in charge of the cleaning make a big difference. Everyday I had my coffee and tarte à la mangue at the coffeeshop in the lobby of the main building served by a smiling lady very helpful and caring to start the day on the right foot. I strongly recommend the hotel and the tarte à la mangue.

I love the location, the hotel is in one of my favourite streets in Zamalek, you are spoilt for choice with dining and shopping options. The room is spacious, modern and bright. All facilities are in good condition, I have now found my perfect hotel in Zamalek. Location, staff and facilities are fantastic and at an affordable price. There isn't a restaurant on site but there are so many cafes around the hotel, a minute walk away.

A recommended Hotel, had a very comfortable room, the staff is very friendly and helpful. There are some issues with the electrify and internet that are off daily for 1-2 hours due to general restrictions. Other hotels deal with this problem.

I loved my stay here. Everything was as expected. The rooms are exactly like seen in the photos posted, spacious and clean. The staff is super friendly.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Quiet neighborhood that is walkable to a lot of great restaurants. I'd definitely stay again.

Two weeks in Egypt. Bouncing around city to city. Stressed out over everyone wanting to dip into my pockets. My last two nights were were at New President, and I have to say, I wish I would have stayed there from the start. The man working the desk (I apologize, I forget his name) was a sweetheart. Just a genuinely good person. The room was exactly what I needed it to be: Clean, comfy bed, working air con, and quiet. Zamalek is busy, but no one gives a crap about you (i.e. not trying to get your money). You can walk around and not be bothered. It also seems to have an incredible night life. If I go back to Egypt, Zamalek is at the top of my list, and I'm looking up New President first.

Wonderful hotel. Very professional and helpful staff. Very safe area, clean and quiet hotel. I strongly recommend.

My husband and I spent five nights at the New President Hotel and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The room was spotless and comfortable, and the shower spacious. The location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood of Zamalek that ensured a good night's sleep, yet only a five minute walk to a main street bustling with shops and restaurants. (And only a few doors down from Cavo, a tiny coffee house that offers great cappuccinos...) We walked from our hotel to the Egyptian Museum and other sites --- it was about a half hour walk --- but we also took Uber whenever we didn't feel like walking anywhere because it's incredibly inexpensive --- our forty-five minute ride out to the Pyramids at Giza was around $10, and anything within Cairo itself never cost more than a couple of dollars. While clean and comfortable rooms and a great location go a long way, it is the people that always make a place memorable. Ahmed, the manager, was incredibly helpful and kind. One night when we returned from a full day visit to the Pyramids and my husband was feeling a bit weak from dehydration, (something he's prone to), I rushed off to buy a big bottle of water from the little market a couple of doors from the hotel. Ahmed insisted on riding up in the elevator with my husband to make sure he made it to our room safely. He made sure we had his card with us whenever we left the hotel in case we needed any assistance, and he even taught me phrases in Arabic when I asked. FABULOUS!

The hotel is next to a noisy bar/club and the sound boomed through the wall till 2.00 in the morning. After complaining I was moved to a higher floor which was a little quieter. The bathrooms smell really bad and the water in the shower pools all the time. Breakfast is next door at the President hotel and is very basic with poor service and little choice. The area is reasonable with cafes and shops nearby. Overpriced hotel for what you get and better choices are available in other areas of the city.

Very comfortable stay and everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Big size modern room and bathroom, even the single, good aircon, blackout curtains, quiet and really well located in Zamalek with lots of very good restaurants nearby and also lots of good art, jewellery, craft and fashion boutiques, I happily spent a day wandering around. Wifi cuts in and out, works better in the morning than the evening.

The room is beautiful and wonderful location but hygiene is poor
