10/10 Exceptional

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!

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

Excelent hotel

Really enjoyed my stay. The rooms were confortable, the breakfast was great. The spa area was nice, but the swiming pool was closed for renovation. The bar at the rooftop had a nice view. The region around is walkable with many options

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.

Great location, and room was very clean—but overall condition was a little tired. Upholstered chairs in breakfast room were literally shedding. Main complaint was that wake-up call, taxi ordered for 6:30 am, and promised breakfast box never materialized. Information was not transferred to am staff.

Location was superb. Also the surroundings were very pleasant. Just what I like. Breakfast offered a number of items (such as tuna in oil) not offered at other hotels I stayed in during my trip.

6/10 Good

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.

Great place in Budapest

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!

The Hotel is in a great location. About between 3 - 5 minute walk to two different metro lines and stations. Great Breakfast, salty and sweet options, many various foods, fruits and choices. The President has the best breakfast that I have had in Europe. Friendly staff and welcoming environment.

Ideally located hotel

Very good stay - staff and location ideal. Only 'downside', bars shut at 10pm. Eould havd been nice to have been able to come back for a drink after being out all day. This wouldn't be an issue for others. Would highly recommend!

Great location

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

4/10 Fair

Over rated

Doesn’t rate a 4 star. 3 if lucky. Very tired hotel, needs rooms refurbishing. Stayed 4 nights October 25, standard double room. Threadbare carpets, bedside drawers not cleaned from previous occupants. Very dark bathroom – poor lighting general. Furniture generally chipped (including breakfast room). No kettle for hot water. WC seat skewed. Temperature control not working. Constant repetitive music played in corridors, right outside rooms. Public areas OK. On the good side, there was a safe in the room.

6/10 Good

The cheapest rooms are in a separate building and their windows open onto a covered central courtyard, so you can’t open the window for fresh air and you end up feeling closed in. My fridge was also not working properly. The rooms are reasonably new and clean though. The thing that really annoyed me was just how much worse their gym is than the picture management has published on the major sites. I literally chose the hotel because of the gym, and it seems like that picture is from 15+ years ago. For cardio there’s only an old and maybe broken down stairmaster, there are only mediocre free weights, there are no mats for stretching. I guess the hotel lives up to its name lol.

I stayed at the Hotel President in Budapest and was extremely satisfied with my experience. The cleanliness of the entire property is impeccable; the rooms are tidy and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing environment. The wellness area is a true highlight of the hotel. The spa offers a variety of services, including a sauna, massage room, and a well-equipped gym, allowing guests to unwind and rejuvenate after a day of sightseeing. The hotel's central location is ideal for exploring Budapest. I would like to extend my special thanks to the Sales Manager for the attentiveness during my stay. The professionalism and courtesy demonstrated made my experience even more enjoyable.

Fair enough for the price.

Easy check in and out. Waited like 2 minutes. It is close the center and restaurants. Room was overall clean and spacious. Nothing heard from the other rooms except for other rude people shouting while getting in or out to their rooms in the middle of night. Breakfast was more than enough. It’s more like French breakfast. Pool was out of service. Spa was working during the stay. I would recommend this hotel for short-term accommodations. 7/10
