Taking into account hotel prices in London, this is a great-value choice. Very good location, close to British Museum & a metro station on the corner. Clean, good space in the rooms, safe area. Very complete buffet breakfast, you almost don't need to have lunch! No doubt I will return. People complanin about the key! yes, it is big, bu't... More

Stayed in this hotel during the week. Staff at Reception were helpful on checking in and the room was easy to find. The room itself was basic and looked dated, however it was warm and clean with crisp sheets and a firm but comfortable mattress. The breakfast was good with the usual choice of items from a buffet which was... More

Stayed in this hotel for the weekend. Very convenient to tube station and shops. Room is a bit dated. Needs updating. Bed is too hard and didn't particularly have a very good night. Good selection of food for breakfast. More

Stayed there for 4 nights. It was just like I expected: good value for its price. Starting with the pros, its location is great for the British Museum. 7 minutes walk! Add another 8-10 minutes and you're in the heart of Soho!!! Just steps (literally) from the Russell Square underground station (Picadilly line). Rooms were clean, though a bit dull... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for two nights. The location is OK, our room was clean, & the staff are polite, friendly & helpful. The only downside was the breakfast - although the selection of food was good, it was all barely luke warm. As the President is a well-established hotel, I would have thought that this type of...

We had a two night stay in this hotel. It is in an ideal location for the tube and is surrounded by loads of places of interest. The complimentary carvery on the first night was very good and for breakfast there was a wide range of food to choose from and it was well cooked. A bit of queueing on... More

This hotel is in an excellent location for The British Museum and many of the Theatres but we found the hotel itself to be very disappointing - probably worth 2.5 stars rather than 3. The communal corridors are gloomy and depressing and the room in which we stayed was functional at best. The main dining room is cramped and resembles... More
