My stay at the President Hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, being just a short walk from Russell Square station and close to many attractions like the British Museum. However, I found the room to be small and somewhat uncomfortable, with the bed not living up to expectations. Breakfast was included, but the quality of the hot food was disappointing, and the coffee really didn't hit the mark.
