Great breakfast but room warm for November, thankfully I had a fan in the room. Really bad smell in the bathroom when I checked it, which maintenance sorted quickly, although I requested a room change and never got a call back. Breakfast was brilliant, great range and choice. Staff excellent. Great location but more of a 3* and not 3.5* on Expedia

This is the third time I have stayed at the President hotel, I love the location, it’s super easy to get to all my favourite places in Central London. The rooms are simple but comfortable and you don’t need anything fancy when you are spending all your day out and about. Will definitely stay again.

Acceptably mediocre hotel in a very busy and central area of London. Nothing wrong, but nothing good either. Everything clean, front desk staff always there and polite. Room was so small as to be uncomfortable. Bathroom even worse. Couldn't move around shower, sink, or toilet and I'm not a big person. Plentiful full English breakfast every morning was a nice perk.

Clean room and a super-comfortable, cozy bed. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. Only 16 mins' walk to the huge Primark on Oxford St. The lobby looks lovely as they've just put up their Christmas decorations. would definitely stay there again!

Reception staff excellent - professional and polite. Frustrating having to ring down from my room over and over again for an Iron and Ironing Board but no one picking up. Had to go without which is far from ideal. Rooms are clean and tidy as expected - tea and coffee selection not the best, but to be expected at a hotel like this one. Excellent location and efficient check out process.

This is a great hotel, located in a great area with convenient transit connections to explore the rest of London. It also boasts a very decent restaurant, a separate facility from the breakfast area. The only reason i am not giving it a 5 star is because the room was so small. It was just big enough to meet our needs, but only just. Regardless I would go back to this hotel again.

Clean hotel everywhere, in our room and all public areas. Friendly staff. Competitive prices giving value for money. Have stayed before and the breakfast was very good, but did not have breakfast on this occasion due to our itinerary. Comfortable beds with good pillows. Secure bag storage so we could enjoy our last day bag free. Room key to operate the lifts is a great security measure. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
