Hotel Presidente Luanda

Gym: One of the best hotel gyms I've experienced! The only thing missing is a leg curl capable machine but it has an well considered selection of machines, decent weights selection and cardio machines. I didn't try the hamam (steam room) or dry sauna.Breakfast: Great breakfast in a restaurant with sweeping harbour views. Rooms: Rooms were better than expected. My room was carpeted while that of a colleague was not so there seems to be that option (although I don't know if you can choose at the point of booking or check in or whether it's luck of the draw). Air-conditioning worked a bit too well and I couldn't figure out how to increase the temperature. Location: Convenient location for my needs but not a very lively part of town.

Welcome: The reception area is shocking (warm and somewhat claustrophobic) but don't let that put you off. The hotel is pretty good. Bed: The bed was a little soft for my liking but far from bad and definitely not "too soft". I slept so well that after 6 nights, I was looking for the bed's brand.Room amenities: They didn't replace the tea bags/coffee sachets in the room so I had to hunt for teabags mid-afternoon/early evening for my tea.Location: During the day, you can hear the sounds of the city but it's not too bothersome. At night it's so much quieter that it's no bother at all. No/few restaurants nearby.Connectivity: Internet was patchy but speeds sufficient for work purposes including video calling

Location was great, Breakfast was fantastic. Room was clean and comfortable.

This was my second stay at hotel Presidente within the span of 8 days, and unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. Upon arrival, we encountered difficulties with the reception, as they struggled to locate our booking in their system. Despite having made the reservation through Booking.com and confirming it upon our first arrival, we were initially told that no booking existed. It took the intervention of another staff member to rectify the issue and grant us access to our accommodations.Regrettably, the service throughout our stay left much to be desired. Despite requesting water for my colleague's room on two separate occasions, it was never delivered. Additionally, our dining experience was marred by excessively slow service. While the quality of the food at the restaurant was commendable, the time it took to be attended to was unacceptable. Even a simple order for a bottle of wine was mishandled, arriving after we had already begun our main meal.Undoubtedly, the hotel boasts a prime location, which is one of its most appealing features. However, this does not excuse the exorbitant prices charged, particularly considering the lackluster service provided. While it's understandable that costs in Luanda tend to be higher across the board, guests rightfully expect a certain level of hospitality and efficiency commensurate with the premium they pay.In conclusion, while hotel Presidente may excel in terms of location, its overall value proposition is undermined by subpar service standards. For travelers seeking a seamless and enjoyable stay, particularly at the premium rates charged, it may be prudent to explore alternative accommodations in the area.

Location is probably the best in Luanda, its expensive, however that is expected in Luanda. Breakfast is outstanding and a shortage of nothing. Very good

The small fridge in the room is anoying, the door gets stuck because its in the caboured, they should rather put someting in it, even the two bottled water you get, stands on the desk, it should be in the fridge

Helpful reception staff especially Lady called Patience

Too many beggars allowed very close to hotel was intimating at times

The hotel is very charming and well located. The staff was also very welcoming.

The breakfast could have more variety of food, but overall, it was great to be there.

breakfast was really good with a lot of variety

there was no coffee station in the room and I did not see a room service offer.

staff were extremely friendly and helpful. food was good. sea views were serene

nothing at all

Nice hotel with good food. That made me come back here for several times now. Location is great next to the marginal. Good for going out for a run or walk along the bay. Also pretty good to reach from the airport.

Cleanliness and kindness of the people really changes from day to day.

A nice hotel, great location and view.

Breakfast. especially the selection of fruits.Some staff at the terrace speak only Portuguese, no english nor Spanish, so it's good to know a few Portu words, otherwise the communication is gruesome.

Lovely location, there are few restaurants to spend the evenings, lot of international people as conferences and other activities are held in the hotel

There is only one small outdoor space, most of the other areas are indoors.

Location is excellent

Breakfast should be self service and appears very restrictive for the cost of stayThere is insufficient information regarding recreational facilities at the gym and other places. One should be able to have some coffee in the room but there are no utensils or supplies

Atmosphere

No swimming pool

A bit expensive for this property

Too expensive

Location is very good and next to the port. Breakfast is good but can be improved.

NO tea, coffee or even drinking water available in the room, the rest fine.

Breakfast good value for the money

The bed is hard and uncomfortable

location

unfriendly and helpful staff in bar area

disaster.

they are charging more money then what is displayed on Booking because they have their own exchange rate which is %25 more than what it should be.

Good
