Magnificent location. Staff were pleasant and courteous. We came to the restaurant before it was officially open for breakfast, but it was not a problem and we ordered and were served efficiently.

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!
