HOTEL PRESIDENT BUDAPEST

Myself and my partner stayed here in January. I can not fault hotel president in any way. The staff were very accommodating for any queries we had. The location is fantastic and is not in a noisy location. It is a very short walk to the chain bridge and other various tourist spots. Great value for money.

My mum and I stayed at the Hotel President for 3 days and were really impressed. The staff were amazing, helpful and friendly. The room we had was large and comfortable and very clean and beds very comfy. The location of the hotel just off Liberty Square was perfect for all the sights and restaurants and noise at night was a minimum. The breakfast was ample and very tasty with a great selection of food. The rooftop bar was breathtaking with unbelievable views of Budapest. Lovely to sit and have a drink in the afternoon sun. The spa was also a great addition to the hotel. 5 stars!!!!

Went with friends for a 3 night stay, first impressions were of a very smart hotel. Our friends had very large rooms, ours was an upgrade in a newer part of the hotel, this was an internal courtyard, the room was very modern but a lot smaller. A coffee machine was supplied and kettle on request. Bed and pillows comfortable, shower good, ladies the hairdryer was fine, needn't have bought one. I found the lighting annoyingly dark due to the internal layout of these rooms as the window looked onto the courtyard. We all thought the towels needed renewing, past their best. Breakfast we all thought was great, and the staff were lovely, very helpful and efficient. The situation of the president is great, close to the river and nearby attractions.. the airport is about 45 mins away by taxi. Do buy the 48hr hop on hop off bus/boat ticket, great value. Yes I can recommend this hotel and would use again if in Budapest

The hotel is in a lovely area, not far from a metro station. Our room (5308) on the 3rd floor was fine, nothing special but it had an external window (albeit overlooking an internal area) and everything we needed. Two light bulbs had gone but were replaced fairly quickly when we alerted Reception. The fire alarm in the middle of the night could have been explained/apologised for at breakfast - it wasn't. Breakfast was less than the sum of its parts - the breads were delicious, as were the pastries, but the rest of it was mediocre and the coffee was undrinkable. As a previous reviewer has said, it was in a temporary home - a conference room with no windows, no atmosphere, and very cramped. There is a lovely coffee shop right next door (on the left), with savoury and sweet pastries, and several restaurants on the same street to the right. The best restaurant we ate at was Da Mario, just across the little park towards the river - no more than 8 minutes walk and well worth it! We had a massage in the hotel spa one evening and that was nice. We asked for a kettle, having taken our own cups, teabags, coffee and milk, and it was supplied very quickly. We cleared out the minibar and put our own stuff in there, including the makings of our evening G&Ts, and left a polite note asking the chambermaids not to touch them. They didn't! We had a drink at the roof terrace one evening - expensive, but lovely views, and - a nice touch - they supplied blankets as it was a cool and windy evening.

If you want a quiet hotel at the real heart of Budapest, then you cannot miss Hotel President. Although central it is very quiet, clean and tidy. Personnel are very courteous and ready to help in any way.
