This place was a terrible experience. I was given a room on the 7th floor. It was the size of a large cell and accessible by a rickety freight elevator (it was down for most of my stay, which meant hauling luggage down a flight of stairs to the other elevators where there was always a long wait) The room was hot and stuffy without any climate control (there was a radiator) Keeping the widow open helped, but that was a cold draft that either smelled like old kitchen grease or cut metal from the construction outside. This was middle of November, so I can't imagine how much of an unbearable hot box it would be during the warmer months. There was massive noise from construction going on outside during working hours. You could also hear everything through the walls and the floors were so creaky it was like trying to fall asleep on a pirate ship (thank God for noise cancelling headphones). On the positive side, the room was clean and the shower and toilet worked. That's a very low bar when you're paying +$200 per night. I stayed at a nearby hotel at the start of my trip and regretted not booking the same place on my way back. The guy at check in was courteous, but the woman at check out was really rude (which is impressive given that all you need to do is ask for the room number or last name). I would not recommend this place to anyone and had it not been prepaid I would have gone elsewhere after checking in.
the sketchy elevator to the 7th floor was out of commission most of the time
there was constant construction noise
not exactly worth the money

We stayed at the President Hotel whilst our son had a procudure at Great Ormond Street. The location for this was on point, a two minute walk. Also for us the park was very close by which gives you a break from the busy armosphere of London. We explored a little and the location was good for this also. The hotel its self is huge, I was suprised when we arrived as it has the feel of more than a 3 star downstairs, its more professional than personal. I didnt feel like it was a warm reception, more of a robotical one. Not a big deal, just I prefer warm and friendly. Our room was clean and tidy, small but adequate, nice bathrooms, showers unfortunately run hot and cold all the time no matter what you do. The hair wash, body wash and hand soap provided was of good quality and smelt delicious. The room itself was a bit tatty and run down but the bedding and pillows were some of the best Ive seen. Very comfy and clean. We had a good stay but just missed the personal touch, the friendly vibe if you like. Small things like we booked a room with a fridge, there wasnt a fridge, they brought one up but you then couldnt use the dresser. There was only two cups for drinks, two towels, yet there was three of us. The rooms were also very warm, its September and was around 17 outside during the day, cooler at night but very warm still and you cannot leave the window open all night as it is so so noisy. All in all we had a good stay, just a bit of honest feedback.

We did not like the bed at all. We are not big people and we were cramped. You could not sit on the bed without slipping off. The room was very hot and we often slept with the windows open. When we did that the noise kept me awake. Not a great experience! In regards to the breakfast buffet, even though there was variety, it was the same thing every day. It would have been nice to change it up ever so slightly

PROS centrally located. Even with the Tube Strike. We were able to take local buses to many tourist attractions. The staff were great. Rooms are very clean. CONS no Air Conditioning in the rooms. Even in September the window had to be opened to move the stuffy stagnant air in our hotel room. There is no refrigerator or microwave in the hotel room. Trying local food is a must on vacay. However we couldn't bring left overs back because there's no microwave or refrigerator in the hotel room.

My room was on the 1st floor, and my view was a terrace with a construction site. It was noisy and uncomfortable to be close to a construction like that. However my room was clean. Walkable to every central attraction points.

Nice enough hotel

Nice enough hotel in a very good location for all public transport links. Good size restaurant so no queueing for breakfast which was plentiful and well laid out. There’s a hospital nearby so sirens are regular if you are the street side. There’s no AC so sleeping with the window option comes with consequences. The quilt we had smelled and had stains on it but given how warm it was we only used the quilt cover anyway.
