"It was a lovely stay, and everything was great. I just never checked out the AC situation and never expected it to be 28 degrees every day. We were placed on the 7th floor and the room was a sauna 24/7, no breeze came through the window at all, we had a fan but there is only 3 plugs in the room (+the tv one and none beside the bed) I understand its an old hotel and that is on me but I never expected something could be so HOT when it was cool outside in the mornings and evenings but the room never let up at all!!!!!!!! I would definitely stay again; it was a great location, and the staff was very helpful. I just would maybe come more prepared with portable fans if in the summer or stick to choosing to stay here during the non-summer months. Overall, great stay for its price and location on one of the busiest weekends in London in the summer!"
"It is a great location. Short walk to shops, restaurants, theaters, train stations, and parks. It was a noisy with people come and go. Breakfast was not great but ok."
"Clean room and lovely staff, only complaints is the lack of plugs (which was solved by an extension lead provided by the staff) and the bed was very firm, but it was a good stay and a great location!"
"This is a good hotel. We were looking for something centrally located, clean and comfortable. If that is what you are looking for, this hotel will work.
Bloomsberry is a good location, close to The British Museum (15 minute walk) and West End theatres (about 20 minute walk). Two tube stations are a short walk away, although not necessarily the most convenient stations in terms of transfers. Russel Square Station (Picadilly line only) and Holborn Station (Picadilly and Central lines - Picadilly line serves Heathrow airport) are both "around the block" from The President . Next time I go to London I will consider staying closer to a different tube station. One with more lines/transfers.
The President hotel is about a 15 minute walk to King Cross Saint Pancras (Eurostar train to Paris, Amsterdam…).
Now... if you visit during summer, please bear in mind that NONE of the rooms at the President Hotel have air conditioning. They do have oscillating fans and the windows open "just enough" so you can get some air circulating at night.
As an American traveler, I guess I am spoiled and didn't even occur to me to check for A/C before booking. So, do yourself a favor and check the average temperatures for the time of your visit and book accordingly!
The breakfast served at the President is very good and priced very reasonably compared to the restaurants near by. I regret not booking the room with breakfast included."
