The room was spacious, bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom recently renovated, however no mirror on the wall, just one of those weird little mirrors on an arm that spins making you look distorted.
Absolutely no atmosphere, it was like a ghost town. Friday night and 3 cars in the car park. When we arrived the power had been out so the check in process couldn't happen. An employee saw us arrive (3.30pm) and followed me in. We were simply given a key. Reception had a piece of paper taped to the door stating 'closed' offered a number to ring but nobody answered. Restaurant was shut the whole time we were there and sat in darkness. Gardens and pathways were unkempt. We went to Reception just before 8am to leave, still closed, rang the number, no answer so left a message asking someone to call as we hadn't paid, no one called. Phoned again in the evening, same thing, no answer. Finally got an answer at 10pm. It was a 'sad' evening away for me, I used to work at the Presidential years ago and it was thriving, full house, bus tours, packed Restaurant and Bar, awesome atmosphere, alas not anymore. It feels like no one loves the place.

Clean & comfortable accomodation .
Staff at front counter helpful & friendly .
Restaurant was absolutely disappointing I would not recommend eating at their restaurant.
Chef needs to be replaced .
I ordered a chilli pasta prawn dish .
When presentedIt looked like tin spaghetti the prawns were soft & chewy .
Husband ordered fish & chips … disgusting fish frozen hard as rock .. chips all non eatable .
We have never complained in our life’s however this dinner we provided feedback accordingly .
We were not offered any compensation discount nor even a refund .by the staff member .i had the opportunity the next day to complain to the manager as he enquired if our room was suitable .
I gave him positive feedback regards our room accomodation & also our experience at the restaurant the previous evening . Seemed there had been many complaints regards there resident chef . He apologised however again no mention of any refunds nor discount given our meal was totally unacceptable .
We were the only people in the restaurant , given a long drive toMount gambia we were exhausted hence decided we would support the restaurant it was convenient .
Anyways an experience that left a very bad taste in our mouths & I would not recommend to use their restaurant .
Apart from this very bad experience we loved Mount Gambia .
