Staying on the east bank is a different decision from staying in Port Said, because it increases dependence on the crossing. This page explains the practical effect without naming hotels or publishing prices.

This is an independent planning page. No current timetable, fare or specific boarding gate has been confirmed by the operator; check official notices and crew instructions at both banks before travelling.
A guest in Port Fouad needs a crossing to arrive and another to leave, and may need two more each day if most destinations are on the Port Said bank. With no confirmed timetable, that dependence matters more than a price difference between areas.
If your programme includes the museums, the waterfront or the fish market in Port Said, staying on the west bank reduces the number of trips.
Confirm that the accommodation exists and that its exact location is on the east bank, because Port Fouad is a separate city rather than a district inside Port Said. Check reception hours, access and cancellation terms through official channels.
Ask about the nearest return point to Port Said, and do not build departure day on an assumption of early or late ferry operation.
No verified data on the number of options exists; check official booking platforms before planning.
It may be a different experience, but this page offers no qualitative rating; compare location and current reviews.
If most of your destinations are in Port Said, probably yes; factor that in before booking while no timetable is confirmed.
