To say anything negative about the President Hotel would be nit picking. Perhaps the ancient furniture in the rooms and lack of hooks in the bathrooms maybe.....
The approach roads to the hotel may give you a bad impression as its narrow and next to a graffitti covered open storm sewer. But the hotel itself is superb. The common areas and rooms are clean and spacious. The bathrooms are large and all rooms have a balcony with excellent double glazed doors and blackout curtains.
There are 3 pools with amusingly cold water, which is fine once your in.The top pool, although an odd shape is the best for swimming.If you sunbathe around this pool, beware the nasty little flies that can give you a wicked bite that will itch like crazy.
The crowning glory of this hotel is the food. Every meal is an all you can eat buffet. The variety and quality of the food is what you would expect to find at a 4 or 5 star hotel. The prices of drinks are reasonable for meals and at the bar. All staff are friendly and the receptionists speak good English.
I would recommend you get a room at the back, overlooking the pool on at least the 5th floor, as those rooms get the sun in the evening.
There was entertainment provided must nights. The TV in your room received 3 English speaking channels, CNN, Eurosport and ITV 3.
