  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Long isles to rooms

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Good location, wonderful views and facilities, Very nice hotel for 4 stars. I liked that one of the bathrooms had the water hose bidet. The design of the two bedroom apartment bathroom is unusual. It had an ensuite bathroom with no toilet seat, which was in a smaller room in outside the bedroom.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The cleaness of the room it was a downfall for me, bed sheets were not changed, floor was not vacuumed until we checked out, toilet trash bin was not emptied. what a disappointment.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The beds were comfortable but the pillows are awful. There is a pillow menu and I tried all of them and none of them were great. For the price and compared to the great quality of the rest of the stay, I would expect better pillows.

    The staff, exceptional.

    Flooring in room a little noisy

    Room and the breakfast service

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Can't think of anything that could have improved our stay

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Breakfast was decent and the staff at breakfast were fairly friendly. There was one pleasant waitress at the dinner our first night which was a pleasure, the pool was also the highlight of the trip. For a family with 3 small kids and a double stroller, it was inconsiderate to give us a basement room with zero access to an elevator to access our room, only a winding metal staircase. It was troublesome and worrisome to take the stairs up and down every time we left our room to access restaurants. The housekeeping took a very long time to be fulfilled. The front desk lady at check in was very unpleasant to deal with, not welcoming for our first moments of being in Cape Town. I had high expectations for paying top dollar for the best hotel in Cape Town, but it was underwhelming.

    Amazing stay at the President, fantastic location to get out onto the Cape of Good Hope, Boulder's Beach, but also into city centre and all key landmarks. Sea Point was beautiful, plenty of places to exercise too. Staff at the hotel were super friendly, helpful, good food and drinks, fantastic breakfast, secure parking, good Wi-Fi. 10/10 stay if you're in Cape Town N/a

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    It was clean and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast is absolutely amazing and I’d recommend this hotel to anyone. Nothing

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Updated rooms, fast quiet elevators, great location, accommodating staff and wonderful breakfast Can’t think of anything

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Upon arrival, the bell boy was very friendly, courteous and professional, as were the front desk staff. All my requests in the room were met. I loved my bed and pillows. The breakfast was great too. I also utilized the spa services and the professionalism and courteousness of the staff was stellar. The fact that I was not able to enjoy the hotel to its fullest. I had only one night. I intend to return and recommend The President to others.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Expensive for what it offers.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Had a water leak in my room. Took a while before I was able to get a room change

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    excellent for all N/a

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    While in Cape Town, I was in a vulnerable situation (overtired, both eSIM and credit card deactivated randomly upon arrival) and experienced a security incident. Head of security and management was very responsive though pretty much everyone on staff else gossiped about it and i felt they hovered over me the day after. It was quite embarrassing. While a handful treated me with respect, others didn’t understand and lacked empathy Film set next door was very disruptive and had to be moved after first night. In the second room, the electrical sockets didn’t work despite trying all my devices didn’t charge in the room at all. Strange things also occurred once I arrived; one guest was persistent in asking about my hotel stay, how long I was there, what floor and room? It made me very uncomfortable.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Best hotel breakfast I've had. Bathroom towels felt a little cheap

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    This was the best hotel we stayed in during our entire SA trip! The location is amazing, the lovely outside area, the staff who are just so nice and also happy to be there and the room was great too! Only remark is the shower were there was some mold
