My stay at Hotel President was riddled with issues that overshadowed its potential charm. While the hotel's location was convenient for exploring Budapest, the dated decor and lack of basic amenities really let it down. The enthusiastic staff did what they could to assist, but the overall experience was far from satisfactory, especially considering the price.

My stay at Hotel President was a mix of positives and disappointments. The location was unbeatable, allowing me to explore key attractions with ease. However, the wellness facilities left much to be desired, as the pool was empty and only one sauna was operational. I appreciated the friendly staff and the generous breakfast, but the cleanliness and comfort of my room could have been better. Overall, while I enjoyed my time in Budapest, I might consider a different option for my next visit. 🏨🌆

The spa was nice enough, but I found it a bit of a hassle going back and forth for services like locker keys and bathrobes, as nothing seemed to be easily accessible.
