President Hotel

What our travelers say

The President Hotel earns its reputation primarily on three fronts: location, breakfast, and room quality — and group leaders returning year after year tend to confirm all three. Russell Square sits at the heart of Bloomsbury, and the proximity to a Tube entrance means groups can get moving quickly each morning without the logistical drag of a long walk to transit. A Tesco nearby adds genuine practicality for students who need to grab essentials or snacks on the fly. Group leaders across multiple programs have described the neighborhood as one of the more convenient bases they've used for London itineraries. The breakfast here comes up in nearly every evaluation, and the comments go beyond a passing mention — our travelers describe it as hot, well-stocked, and among the most extensive spreads they've encountered on any trip. For school groups arriving with big appetites and a full day ahead, that matters. The rooms also tend to run a bit more generously sized than what you find in a typical European city-center hotel, and multiple group leaders note that the spaces feel clean and modern rather than tired. Front desk and housekeeping staff have consistently drawn praise for being responsive and friendly, and at least one group leader highlighted a minor room issue that was sorted out quickly upon arrival. One practical amenity worth noting: a water bottle filling station in the lobby has been a quiet but genuine hit with student groups trying to stay hydrated without the cost of buying water throughout the day. One logistical note for tour directors: early-departure breakfast boxes have occasionally required extra coordination and follow-up reminders to execute smoothly, so it's worth confirming kitchen arrangements carefully when the group's schedule demands an unusually early start. Cell signal can also be weak in some rooms, and in-room safes are not universal across the property. The President works particularly well for mid-to-large student groups touring London on a structured itinerary. The 523-room property handles group volume without feeling chaotic, check-in tends to run efficiently with keys ready on arrival, and the combination of a solid breakfast and central location supports the kind of full-day pacing that school trips demand. Groups who have been here multiple times keep coming back, which says something straightforward about the consistency of the experience.
