Under construction right now, gym under construction, dusty road in front. Overpriced restaurant.... (well, overpriced city). Anyway, it may be lovely when the construction is done but at the moment, not worth it. More

Angola is absurdly expensive. The Presidente, Luanda itself is OK but a very poor value. We had a little bit of a discount on the rate but were coming and going to field locations, and on each of three check ins, we got overcharged and had to be firm to get the quoted rate. The rooms I had the first... More

Stayed here for 1 week in September. Bedbugs on day 1. Breakfast is good. Service is average but cost for the room is ridiculous. More

Pros: 1. The renovated rooms (be sure you get one) have decent decor and are a good size. 2. The prices are reasonable by Angolan standards (extraordinarily high by anywhere else's). 3. The food is pretty good, with the same qualifications about price. 4. The rooms have free wired Internet, and there is free wi-fi and a couple of PCs... More

Because of ongoing alterations to the hotel, there are often loud noises in the daytime and evening so try to find out where when you're staying there and ask for a room away from the noise. Also there are no exercise facilities so don't take your gym gear. More

Lots of reports about the smell in the rooms, its just the air-con on 24/7. Stayed on the 26th floor and it was like looking down at Hades..! My first time in Angola since 1975 and... More

Presidente has been renovated a bit. The reception area is looking tres moderne, but the rooms are still 1970s looking. The dinning area and bar are a bit retro as well. The place is expensive for what you get, but this is Luanda we are talking about. The real downer is how rude and unhelpful the staff are. I consistently... More
