Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
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.
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!
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.
We were right next to a beautiful building which made it very easy to find our way back to the hotel! Rooftop bar has a fantastic view you can't beat!
Very nice location in area 5, convenient and close to many of the top sites we wanted to see. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Breakfast was awesome to fuel us up for a big day of experiencing such an incredible city. So glad we went to Budapest and stayed at The President. We saw the other options we almost selected and we were so grateful we had chosen this hotel!

No bell boy
I had to carry my own luggage
Uncomfortable to take a shower
Breakfast food -room temperature
It was a very hotel, however during our stay there was a convention going on and my room happened to be on the far end of the hotel so I had to Edmonton through the main hall of hotel where they had their food set up and had to maneuver my way through with the luggage. Also the elevators were confusing and was not explained at check in. Good location to Cathedral and restaurants.
Lovely hotel and value for money.
Check in staff not up to standard of the hotel itself. Think training but not knowledgeable enough about parking situation around hotel which was a shame.
Otherwise excellent stay and would stay again.
It was a very fast, easy check-in. Staff took our bags and the location is perfect for a quick walk to the Hungarian parliament and back to get our keys at 3 pm. All very friendly and excellent breakfast bar.

Disappointing for the price paid
Overall, the hotel is average at best. The location is good and central in Budapest. Our room was serviced everyday, which is a nice change from recent experience at other places after COVID.
Other services are however very disappointing. You have to scan a QR code to request services - you can’t phone reception. We requested a clothes iron 3 times this way, and also asked reception in person another 2 times - we are still waiting today and could not iron our clothes for the wedding we were attending. The towel warmer was not working, also not the hand shower. This was also not addressed after using the QR code to request this to be addressed. The response time was also not good, it took more than 3 hours for a response after commenting on the site, and then none of the issues were addressed as per above.
The bathroom also shows signs of excessive wear and tear. The plastic trim on the shower door is broken.
The sleeper couch is not comfortable at all.
Overall, I would not recommend the hotel especially not for the price paid.
