The President Hotel was exactly as advertised and served us very well for our mother-daughter March Break trip to London. The location was incredibly convenient for getting around and exploring the city, and the beds were comfortable after long days of sightseeing. A great choice for our stay!

I really loved the location of this hotel. Near enough to main attractions that you could walk if you wanted but still had a very neighborhood feeling. Staff were helpful and kind. The lack of ac in the summer was unfortunate, and another ding for the loud doors that would slam shut. Overall a very nice experience though.

I arrived two hours early and they had my room ready to go! The room was a bit underwhelming after seeing the lobby, it felt like I was in a college dorm room, not a hotel. That being said, the breakfast was fantastic for the morning I was able to have it, so many options and the hotel restaurant was nice. You are within walking distance of most theater productions and the British Museum.

Helpful staff, great location, very close to both Queen Square and Baker Street station. Comfortable, spotless room. Although no aircon in the rooms, there was a good large fan in the wardrobe which worked fine. Breakfast was delicious, although expensive (£17.50 on the door). It's as much as you can eat (definitely worth it, especially if you can get a deal when you book the room). I will definitely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone.

First time staying at The President and was really impressed. The staff were lovely, the room was clean and well equipped and the breakfast was excellent. The location was ideal for exploring London on foot, but there is a tube staton and bus nearby. The area around Russell Square is lovely, and benefits from being not in the middle of the tourist hub-but. I will definitely be staying here agin in the future.

The hotel may need an update in decor but was clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows the most comfortable I had in this trip of 4 different hotels. Best night sleep I had in my trip.
