    We had a wonderful experience at The President Hotel. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of delicious options, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was beautiful and relaxing. A special touch was when the team surprised my husband by singing 'Happy Birthday' and presenting a beautifully plated brownie - such a thoughtful gesture! Thank you for making our morning so memorable.

    The high tea started half an hour late @2.40pm Waiters did not inform us about the delay or the process of how the high tea would be served. I had to ask the waiters if beverages would be served while we wait. I don't think they were sufficiently trained as they were not aware when the high tea would start. The staff was uninformed about the request of substitution I requested prior to booking. The seating area was not as luxe as befitting a high tea. I think a different area where the velvet couches are would be more cozy for a better ambiance. The food was tasty especially the Savoury coarse. Scones were a good size but cream was not sufficient for size of Scone. I would gladly pay a little more as I think the portions were quite minute especially the cheese thumbprint dish. I've been to many high teas before and would have liked a little more effort as befitting the rest of the hotel.

    The food was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite felt like real quality and care had been put into it. The atmosphere of the hotel was just as impressive. The setting is elegant yet welcoming, making the whole experience feel special – it was truly giving a 5-star hotel experience. What really stood out for me was the staff. They were positive, warm, and always ready to assist with pure smiles that made me feel genuinely cared for. Their service truly added to the enjoyment of my visit. I would definitely recommend the President Hotel!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
