6/10 Good

Hotel is in a good location easy walk to everywhere. Foyer impressive but rooms basic. We had a junior suite which was clean but a bit sparce & could do with an update & some tlc. Shower is over bath & very low so not ideal if you are taller. Fridge & coffe pod machine for espresso pods but no kettle for tea making if you dont want a shot of coffee. No ironing facilities. Hairdryer abysmal. Breakfast was adequate

We had a room in the atrium part of the hotel which was compact but fine for us 2, very clean and modern. Air con was great! Needed it in the 34 degree heat! Because the rooms are in an atrium noise would travel and you can hear people outside but we slept well without any issues. Breakfast was excellent - plenty of variety and choice for us. Hotel is next to a fantastic artisan bakery which I recommend. Excellent location for walking into the centre of Budapest and for the transport system

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was incredibly beautiful and provided a very comfortable stay. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was conveniently located in the heart of all the major attractions, making everything within walking distance. There were also many restaurants nearby if we needed a quick snack or drink, which were all just a short walk away from the hotel. I highly recommend this place; it has everything you need for a great vacation. Plus, there’s a rooftop restaurant with great views and drinks.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly helpful staff, very clean in public spaces and room, comfy superking bed, good shower, good breakfast, great location. Really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. Only comment and lower star relates to the quality of finish on the room. We had a superior room at the front of the hotel. The room was huge, and clean, just a little dated with some worn/damaged fittings and tired carpet. As a space to sleep rest and get ready it was fine, but to truly claim a superior room status it really needs updating.

Great location!

Great location! The best with the hotel is the location! Nice modern rooms! Very good breakfast. They have nice terrace with the view but was closed during our 3 days stay, very unfortunate since we booked the hotel for the location and the terrace. There was no info about this during my booking:( I complained to the reception but with no luck or compensation
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel is perfectly situated, close to the main attractions. Staff are friendly and the breakfast is good. We had booked the hotel due to its location but also for the sky bar. However we were very disappointed to be told it had been closed, 'for several years'. A quick check of two booking sites shows it to be included and giving the impression of being open. This needs to be amended. There is even a sign near the foyer in reception with the opening times! We also found the air conditioning system to be very antiquated. Either hot or cold with no happy medium. There was also clearly an issue with a fire alarm sensor. Repeated phone calls to our room whenever deodorant was used became irritating, particularly after I had asked reception to check it out. The lack of tea / coffee was also disappointing, and to be told there were no milk cartons available was laughable. All in all, this hotel is perfect for a budget stay and great for its location, but the lack of small detail leaves it a 6/10 for us.

Location was superb. Also the surroundings were very pleasant. Just what I like. Breakfast offered a number of items (such as tuna in oil) not offered at other hotels I stayed in during my trip.

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.

Very good stay - staff and location ideal. Only 'downside', bars shut at 10pm. Eould havd been nice to have been able to come back for a drink after being out all day. This wouldn't be an issue for others. Would highly recommend!

Great place in Budapest

We are very happy with our stay in Hotel President. Rooms are clean and the location is perfect. We have been here 3 times before during the last years and we always liked it, however this is the first time we write a review. They have a breakfast buffé with alot to choose from and a cozy rooftop where you can have a drink and enjoy the view over the city. Staff is also very friendly and helpful, everyone from the reception to the cleaning staff. We will come back again!
