Choose Floors. If you need quiet sleep, ask about avoiding the first and third floors, which were linked to music noise.
Call Parking. Check parking availability directly before arrival because the listing and reception information did not match.
Check Bathroom. Inspect the bathroom when you arrive, as one guest reported finding small insects while showering.

The Bottom Line
President Hotel is a practical Al Karama base for travellers who value transport access, clean rooms and personable service. Reviews describe rooms as comfortable and sometimes spacious, with daily housekeeping, while the nearby ADCB Metro Station makes city trips easier. The hotel also suits longer business stays: one guest stayed three months and another nearly six weeks.
Food is a genuine part of the stay. The buffet breakfast gets repeated praise, especially for its Indian choices, and Kovalam Restaurant is mentioned for dishes including beef fry, stew and chicken varutharachathu. The venue also hosted a well-received Ramadan Iftar buffet with an in-house ice cream dessert.
There are a few things to clarify before booking. The nightclub can be loud: guests reported music and bass in room 312, noise on the first and third floors, and one stay where it continued until 5am. Ask for a quieter room.
Parking information appears inconsistent, so call ahead. One review also found small insects in the bathroom, while another heard a neighbour snoring. Overall, the hotel’s value, metro access and praised housekeeping make it worth considering if nightlife noise will not disrupt your sleep.
