8.4/10 Very Good! (590 reviews)

I stayed at President Hotel by myself for 2 nights. As a young woman, I can say that I felt very safe and comfortable. The hotel was very spacious and clean with all the amenities you can think of. I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast and sitting out and relaxing by the pool. The hotel was in very short walking distance to a wide variety of shops and restaurants. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would be happy to come back one day!

9.6/10 Exceptional! (334 reviews)

The hotel itself is great but the room service staff was comically bad. Orders would take longer than one hour to arrive, items were ALWAYS missing. One time they called us at 1:30am to confirm our breakfast order (waking us up!) and then still got the order wrong 😂 really odd in a 5 star hotel.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (255 reviews)

An amazing hotel. Great location. Superb staff and service. Excellent food. Room amenities great except bath towels too small, no bath salts or bubble bath yet a massive bath. Drain blocked in shower on first night. Moved to inferior room for one night. Shower fixed and we could move back to our luxurious room. Unfortunately at check out management decided not to refund me for part of cost for staying in an inferior room for one night to what was booked.
