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.

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.

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

There was a problem with our Expedia booking. The hotel did not receive it. Therefore it took a long time to book in but the hotel upgraded our room. The room we were given was lovely. The tea and coffee was not refilled in the room. When we asked at reception they did give us more coffee pods and teabags. Everything we saw was smart and well maintained The hotel is in a very nice central location, close to attractions but quiet. There are a couple of good restaurants in the street and local shops very close. The breakfast was very good with a wide variety to choose from.

The rooms in the inner hallway are very hot with no external window and an AC unit that does not give cold air. We raised this with the hotel and we was luckily moved to another room with an external window. However this was frustrating having repack all our belongings. There was no milk provided with the coffee facilities which meant you had to go to the restaurant and ask for milk each time. Staff were friendly and breakfast was nice. Great location.

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!

Not long back from our stay. Lovely hotel in a great location, walking distance to everything. Great facilities and helpful staff. The rooftop igloo bar had a better view than some of the more touristy rooftop bars & served delicious cocktails/hot palinka drinks. Breakfast had a great selection of foods & our gluten free needs were accommodated without issue, staff even remembered us & provided GF bread each morning without being asked. We made use of the hot tub , the only thing that could’ve made this hotel better would’ve been the indoor pool being in use (but we were aware at the time of booking). Would definitely go back

No outside window in the room, air conditioning was on but no cold air, heating was always on, room way to hot and my wife barely slept for 4 nights. Should have been told there is no window to the outside, we could have let in some cool and fresh air! breakfast was good. everything shut at 10pm, we are on holiday would like a drink when we get back from dinner! Everything very clean, room also, fresh towels, bit knocked about but ok, apart from Heat & Window. Not a 4 star, tries to look like one but fails in delivery and communication. Staff friendly! That said its a good priced 3 star (if informed about outside windows) and a great location.
