The President Hotel Cairo
This was a great place to land in a quiet area of Cairo to get some rest before my adventure began. The neighborhood is very charming, and the staff was excellent - very welcoming. I would stay here again.

Hilton Cairo Zamalek Residences
Hotel is well managed with a responsive staff. The location is in a quiet diplomatic area of Zamalek within an easy walk to the more bustling areas, so felt very secure and safe. The property and room itself is a bit dated although still reasonably well maintained and clean.
