review I booked a 2 night stay at the Hotel President Budapest, needless to say it was absolutely less than satisfactory. I acknowledge it was New Year’s eve and so the pricing and availability throughout the city is inflated but there is no way anyone should voluntarily pay to stay at the Hotel President Budapest- you are better off sleeping in your vehicle. From the exterior and the lobby the hotel is beautiful! Spacious and clean, staff is friendly but the rooms? An absolute joke and no one should subject them selves to such an experience. The bed- two half’s of the mattress making a whole which is standard however one mattress was rock hard and one was squishy like old sponge. The weird green carpet was stained, the shower/tub had black gunk in the cracks. As if the general aesthetic wasn’t enough to turn you off; the fridge didn’t work, the wifi doesn’t work in the room, the TV? you guessed it, didn’t work! The bathroom was so small, the room was the same. The pictures of the room online are in no way a reflection of what the rooms actually look like, the hotel itself is beautiful but unfortunately the rooms are just terrible not to mention it’s an absolute maze to get around as well. Over all- the staff is very friendly and the lobby is beautiful but that can’t make up for the other overwhelming shortcomings.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s said that its rooftop bar is the tallest in Budapest but I didn’t have a chance to try it. It’s walkable to quite a few famous places. The breakfast is nothing special which you could expect from the European hotel but is above average.
