Le Presidente is a little faded, a little broken down, but comfortable and totally appropriate for business trips to Angola. Those seeking 5 star luxury need to await further development. The guests are mainly foreign business people, many involved in the oil industry (I am not). The rooms are more than adequate and the food is generally quite good in... more

I was in Luanda to do a concert in July {the 1st}. The hotel was wonderful albeit a bit pricey in the Bar. The lunch buffet was incredible with chilled Lobster Tails and a huge variety of Western Culinary delights. The rooms were comfortable and the internet service was adequate. I recommend this hotel above all others in Luanda!! more

Firstly, this hotel is no longer part of the "Le Meridien" chain - it is now simply Hotel Presidente. I stayed here for 2 nights on a business trip to Angola, and was told by colleagues beforehand about it and kind of knew what to expect. They advertise the hotel as a 4-star (and the signage outside the hotel, stationery,... more

I do know in wich city some of the people of other reviews were. I walked a lot in Luanda, nobody bother me, I carry a photo camera and a small backpac, of course you must be caution but it is not a terrible place to be. The bay of Luanda is just beautiful and the beach a few miles... more

As I travel extensively in Africa, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel considering that it is not internationally branded. Check-in was swift, efficient and welcoming with English being no problem at all. My standard double room was very pleasantly decorated in a modern imperial style with all the mod cons of stocked minibar, IDD phone and Sat TV (with... more

We were in Luanda for 3 years and stayed over at Jembas, Massula 3 times. You can get a boat there from the city, they go backwards and forwards all day long. You can visit for a day or stay over. Each time we visited we stayed over in little chalets, which are in a lovely setting with little walkways... more

We were in Luanda for 3 years and tried on a number of occassions to visit this museum. Every visit we made or anyone we knew made we were told the museum is closed for refurbishment and will open next week. Over a 3 year period they told us the museum would re open next week and it never did. more

The price is sky high, the rating very low. I can not complain about the service because there is no service. The swimming pool, I could not find it. I asked for a LAN cable, got it the next day. The breakfast, just go without it. I spoke to the manager about it all and more, all I got from... more

Absolutely loved Angola. We chose the Alvalade as it was the one of the new hotels and was available for a 3 week visit. The rate we paid for December was $265 per night which is extremely expensive, but we were warned that we had to pay for the best hotel as less well known ones did not have back... more

I had heard that the Tropico was the best in Luanda and a 4 star property. It is but it is not a Western 4 star. Though the reception staff are overworked--the hotel is very busy with many companies taking block bookings throughout the year to accomodate staff--they try hard as do the rest of the staff. Security is good... more

I understand that you need to give at least 2 months notice to get into one of the “main” hotels in Luanda and the company couldn’t get me in anywhere other than Fleuma. I was told the hotel is very new but it didn’t really feel like it. It is close to the airport (as you can tell from the... more

I dont think anyone goes to Luanda unless they have to, but if you do wind up there for whatever reason the Hotel Tropico is probably the place to stay. Nice rooms and the food is pretty good. The front dest staff were great. I lost a suitcase on a domestic flight there, if you fly in Angola you must... more

All the luxuries of a 4* European hotel, No dressing gown, but other than that.... Staff were of great assistance in organising our business function and the whole environment was clean, safe and good value for money. The food in the hotel and on the Illa was great. Don't walk anywhere, but driving in a locked car is safe enough.... more
