When we travel to the big cities we tend to look for, location rather than luxury and the Presidential has this. Superb location, very close to Russell Square Tube Station and plenty of eateries around the Hotel. The room we had was neat and clean, the bed very comfortable. We had a bit of street noise but being so tired... More

I booked to stay in a single room, thinking single occupancy not single room, as the hotel was adjacent to a conference I was attending in London. This is a cheap 3* hotel, but even a backpackers would have been more comfortable and cleaner than here. Room in only twice as wide as the single bed in it. Initially I... More

Stayed at the hotel for just one night last week for an early morning Eurostar departure, for which it is convenient, Russell Square Undergound two minutes walk away, and one stop to Kings Cross/ St Pancras. Hotel reception etc is fine but our room 621 overlooking Russell Square was a bit tired, noisy at night even with the window closed,... More

I would call this a no-frills hotel, with a great location in Russell Square. You can walk to the Piccadilly line of The Underground and the British Museum. There is also walkable access to: Tesco Express convenience store (fresh fruit and yogurt, instant cereal and all kinds of snacks); a pub (we never stopped in but a friend recommended it)... More

Also te regular breakfast buffet was un edible and poor quality and choices. The lobby would fill up with smoke in the lobby at night due to people smokingat the front door. When we asked to... More

We stayed here for one night to meet up with friends for a birthday surprise. We arrived in London Waterloo at 9.30am by train and went straight to the hotel where we were able to check straight into our room at 10am. Rooms are basic but clean, the views are not inspiring but if you just need a base its... More

The hotel is very good,clean, in great location (1minute from metro station and just 2 stops from coven garden, 4 stops from piccadilly) and polite staff. The simple breakfast is a little poor and the room does not have refrigarator.
