The room was too warm the entire time of the stay. Needing to leave the windows open meant early morning/late night street noise. Corridor doors slam so a good rest is not possible until all are finished going in and out.

The President Hotel was excellent, great location, very close to Russell Square underground station. Breakfast was very good, many choices. The only downside was the safe was on the top shelf of the wardrobe, my friend and I only 5 feet tall and couldn’t see inside without standing on a chair. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and we will return in the future.

Averagely okay, missing a few important aspects.

Mega hot. Room stank of BO before I got in. Shame, as it would’ve been alright otherwise. Think I might stay here in winter but not summer. Service in hotel restaurant was very slow and chaotic. Lack of amenities disappointing.
