The hotel had good amenities and a nice bar area. However, the pool deck was often crowded and could feel uncomfortable due to other guests. Overall, a bit more attention to detail is needed.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay at the President Hotel. The location was excellent, close to the beach and vibrant areas of Sea Point, making it easy to explore Cape Town. However, my room was disappointing, with cleanliness issues and maintenance problems overshadowing its potential. On the bright side, the breakfast buffet was genuinely fantastic and a highlight of my stay.
Rooms

My room had an very nice view of Lion's Head, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. The hallway carpets were stained, and the sheets on the mattress didn't fit well, which was quite off-putting.

Facilities were decent but could use improvement, particularly regarding the pool area, which felt crowded. The hotel requires a deposit for room charges, which I found unnecessary.

My stay at the President Hotel in Cape Town had its ups and downs. I appreciated the lovely location and my ocean-facing room was spacious and comfortable. However, the service left much to be desired, with rude staff and slow service dampening the overall experience.
Rooms

My suite with a balcony facing the ocean was the highlight. It was clean and modern, offering a perfect setup with two separate bedrooms and a large living room. However, the paintwork was shabby and some maintenance issues, like a dangling spotlight, marred the overall impression.
