The Hotel is in a great location. About between 3 - 5 minute walk to two different metro lines and stations. Great Breakfast, salty and sweet options, many various foods, fruits and choices. The President has the best breakfast that I have had in Europe. Friendly staff and welcoming environment.

I stayed at the Hotel President in Budapest and was extremely satisfied with my experience. The cleanliness of the entire property is impeccable; the rooms are tidy and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing environment. The wellness area is a true highlight of the hotel. The spa offers a variety of services, including a sauna, massage room, and a well-equipped gym, allowing guests to unwind and rejuvenate after a day of sightseeing. The hotel's central location is ideal for exploring Budapest. I would like to extend my special thanks to the Sales Manager for the attentiveness during my stay. The professionalism and courtesy demonstrated made my experience even more enjoyable.

Fair enough for the price.

Easy check in and out. Waited like 2 minutes. It is close the center and restaurants. Room was overall clean and spacious. Nothing heard from the other rooms except for other rude people shouting while getting in or out to their rooms in the middle of night. Breakfast was more than enough. It’s more like French breakfast. Pool was out of service. Spa was working during the stay. I would recommend this hotel for short-term accommodations. 7/10

180 Euro for one night in single room with poor and worn furnishing is not value for that money. The room was located next to the lift. 4 meter window glas front, directed to after midday sun - aircondition cant regulate. Breakfest offer was fantastic. But... it doesnt makes it better, as that should be standard.

The rooms in the inner hallway are very hot with no external window and an AC unit that does not give cold air. We raised this with the hotel and we was luckily moved to another room with an external window. However this was frustrating having repack all our belongings. There was no milk provided with the coffee facilities which meant you had to go to the restaurant and ask for milk each time. Staff were friendly and breakfast was nice. Great location.

It’s said that its rooftop bar is the tallest in Budapest but I didn’t have a chance to try it. It’s walkable to quite a few famous places. The breakfast is nothing special which you could expect from the European hotel but is above average.

I mentioned about Expedia Gold Status and asked for room upgrade if its available but the staff said "No, your room is already not basic?" I guess they meant my room is good enough... The hotel was not full and was available for upgrade but would not honor Expedia upgrade request unless I pay for the upgrade.

Ej prisvärt hotell men en fantastisk stad

Fick först ett hemskt rum med utsikt in och ut från hissen. Bytte nästa dag och fick då ett mycket bra rum. Sura miner i rooftop baren. Poolen i källaren saknade vatten. Frukosten bra men var placerad i källaren. Ac var bara kallt eller inget. Läget var mycket centralt och bra. Nära till allt i denna fantastiska stad. Ej prisvärt hotell

Außen hui…

Das Gebäude selbst und der Eingang bis zur Rezeption sind beeindruckend. Unser Zimmer lag allerdings in einem modernen Hotelteil, der fatal an Gefängnisse aus amerikanischen Kriminalfilmen erinnerte, was durch grauen Anstrich noch in verstärkt wurde. Auch das Zimmer selbst,obwohl Superior, erinnerte an eine Zelle. Klein, Fenster nur zum Hotel Gang. Es gibt einen schönen Spabereich, der Swimmingpool ist allerdings schon seit Jahren außer Betrieb und die Inbetriebnahme inicht mehr geplant. Die Sauna war nicht in Betrieb, es blieb der Whirlpool. Das Frühstück war gut, die Einrichtung des Frühstücksraums schäbig. Toll ist die Rooftopbar. Auch das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
