My single room was tiny but cozy warm, clean and comfortable. The twin bed was outfitted with down pillows and duvet comforter, standard issue in a more costly hotel and a pleasure to find here. While the £15 price of breakfast was not included in the room charge, I enjoyed a copious and tasty breakfast one morning, and can recommend the generous and wide selection of food. The location, just steps from the Russell St tube stop, is fabulous for those who want to see performances on the West End or at the theatres around Covent Garden. For a fairly modest charge, you can enjoy the benefits of lodging in a great neighborhood. Good value for the money.

The walls are thin. You can hear your neighbors. But the location is quiet with few disturbances.

The location is fantastic. The art-deco style of the bar was great, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and good.

Fruit juice at breakfast tasted watered down and not nice. Wallpaper peeling in room. Lobby gents toilet in disrepair, broken seats, only one working tap.

Good location, close to subway, restaurants, British Museum, etc. Very nice hotel, very good interactions with staff.

The rooms we got were in a loft, access only through one small elevator, big discrepancy between hotel lobby and interior of our rooms in terms of look and feel. We would come back here, now knowing what to expect.

booked a single room and the room was much more spacious than i expected. the bed was very comfortable and the window opened which is a bonus for me as i like to get some fresh air into the room. the staff were helpful and the hotel was in a great location for my needs.

Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice with everything continually being topped up. Staff were very efficient. The quality of the food was very good too, for example the bacon was thicker than you normally get and this was the case all four mornings we breakfasted. The location was fantastic, we walked to Covent Garden in about 10 or 15 minutes, but there was also a tube station next to the hotel (Russell Square) which is on the Piccadilly line - takes you straight into theatreland in minutes. Hotel staff were friendly and efficient.

Everything was very good. We have no complaints about anything at all. I can't think of anything that should have been better. This was not as expensive as some London hotels, so relatively it was good value for money.

I had a single room on the seventh floor which was pleasant. The staff were very helpful, and breakfast was good. The location is excellent for visiting central London.

There was a constant noise outside my window which overlooked the courtyard; I think it came from some kind of large funnel sending up steam, though I managed to sleep with earplugs. Also, only one lift goes to the 7th floor, and it was out of order part of every day that I was there, meaning that when I left I had to carry my suitcase downstairs to the 6th floor to the other lifts. When I got about half way down, a man who I think worked in the hotel, helped me by carrying my case down the remaining steps. I think it is a drawback having only one lift which goes to the 7th floor.

The staff we interacted with were superb. I noted the bathroom bin had not been emptied before we arrived, commented on this to a receptionist (Elger) and it was sorted very quickly. I drank a lot of coffee and sugar and constantly requested refills which the staff were very obliging about. We requested an extra hour of room use - no problem. We ate in the restaurant and, again, the staff were excellent, as was the food.

The room (167) was very noisy due to construction outside but, in fairness, this did not really impact too much on our stay. I would, however, request a quieter room next time.

Clean, convenient, nice staff, good breakfast.

Nothing

Perfect location in Bloomsbury next to Russell Square and a one minute walk to the underground station. The staff member on reception who checked me in was friendly and gave me the choice of several different rooms and said the rooms that overlook the square and the main road could be affected by noise. I opted for a room next to Guilford Street and found the sound proofing to be very effective. The room had a double bed and was certainly big enough for me. A refurbishment of the hotel was completed in the spring of 2024, so the fittings were virtually brand new, and everything worked as it should.

No chair was provided in the bedroom, which surprised me because there seemed to be room for one. I sat on the bed to watch TV but would have preferred a chair. The shower enclosure had an unusual arrangement with the faucet and control lever at opposite ends, about 5 feet apart. It's not a major issue, but I have not seen this before in a hotel.

The President Hotel is a wonderful hotel, with a clean and spacious entrance. The hotel is listed as a 3*** hotel - though elsewhere as a 4***. I was afraid it would be 'nothing', but I'm very pleasantly surprised. It has definitely a 4**** quality. The staff is very customer friendly and helpful. The room is more than I expected: spacious enough, a good bed and a complete bathroom with bathtub. There is also a coffee/tea maker in the room and a very large flat screen TV on the wall. It is a large hotel, so at the - excellent - breakfast there are quite a few other visitors walking around. There is also a bar and a restaurant. The hotel is within a 5' walking distance of Russell Square Underground Station (Piccadilly Line) and therefore very easily accessible. I warmly recommend this hotel.

No drinkware in the bathroom.
