Better than expected
I was expecting a not so great room because of good location and reasonable price. Was very good. Breakfast excellent. My only complaint is hearing people talking in halls.

We regularly enjoy staying at The President Hotel and so we’re very disappointed in the room we were allocated. It was very small and dark with one window that had a view of another building. We liked the bathroom and found the bed very comfortable.
The check-in receptionist was unsmiling and seemed disinterested. On the other hand the woman receptionist who checked us out was friendly and recogised us from previous visits.
We will return in the future at least once.

The staff were very helpful. I was given a free breakfast with my stay although parking was an additional $35. Great location and a nice yet basic room. When doing the recent renovations it would have been good to upgrade the shower. The rest of the room was good. One of the best value options in the city centre.

We spent 2 nights here. Didnt have a problem at all. Service was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Great location to Sky Tower, The Viaduct and Queen St shopping. Supermarket right next door was very convenient.
Room was spacious and comfortable. We even got an upgrade on our room to the top floor! Very happy.
