We booked in for an over night stay on our way to Lake Garda. Pleasant Hotel, good value evening meal and tasty breakfast. Room was clean and the bed comfortable. Near to the railway station and by catching a No 91 bus it was easy to get into London to see the sights.; A good reasonably priced hotel for a... More

Hotel a little tired and dated, our room was pretty basic and the shower room had no blind at the window - I know the glass was frosted but it did feel a little uncomfortable at night popping to the loo not knowing what may be seen from the flats opposite!!. Basic towels and a piece of soap each and... More

We booked to stay at The President as part of a city break we decided upon at short notice. We've stayed here before and found it to be an ideally situated hotel giving good value for money. We booked with two days notice and asked for a twin room overlooking a quieter part of the hotel, the rooms overlooking the... More

We stayed at The President in May. It is an excellent location close to everything. Compliments particularly to night staff - Philip Kennedy, Mariolo (not sure of spelling) and others whose names escape me. They were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

This was my third stay st the President. My room this time - as before - was very comfortable, the towels were new and the key replaced by the card system - I almost missed the long stick! Always a safe, secure and comfortable place for me to stay in London. Concierge and staff pleasant, helpful and friendly.

Nothing fancy about this place but if you want a good value hotel that's convenient to the subway and is in nice neighbourhood then this is your place. Lots of restaurants nearby and very close to The British Museum. A breakfast is included each day and although the food isn't fantastic there's lots of variety. Nice little pub to come... More

We spent 2 nights at the President Hotel and really enjoyed our stay. It is very reasonably priced and you get what you pay for, if you want the comfort and plushness of the Ritz, pay Ritz prices! The hotel is really well located with the tube station just round the corner, passing a good pub 'Friend at Hand' on... More
