President Hotel Prague

We love our Christmas market trips and this year decided on Prague. We found a hotel that offered an exceptional deal for our budget so we booked. However, reading reviews we were then unsure!
Arriving at this Art Deco hotel we checked that this was the same hotel that people had written about. Reception was friendly and swift. Given our 5^th floor keys we entered the lift which only worked using your room key, a plus for security. The room, with balcony overlooking the river, was amazing. In fact, the bathroom was bigger than some rooms we had stayed in on previous trips. Massive bed, safe, mini-​bar, writing desk, telephone, TV, air conditioning and plenty of storage space. The bathroom had a bath with shower, separate corner shower (water pressure top notch), hair dryer, toiletries, plenty of towels and bath robes. WOW. Towels are changed every day by the very efficient housekeeping staff.
Before unpacking, checked out the city for an hour or two before coming back for a couple of drinks in the Piano Bar. Great live music and friendly service from the bar staff. Time for bed. Sunk into the soft bed for a wonderful quiet night.
In the morning breakfast. Now there has to be a downside to this exceptional deal! It certainly wasn’t the breakfast. So much to choose from. I doubt if anyone would go hungry. Cereals, fruit juices, fruit, hot and cold meats and eggs, various breads, croissant and pastries. Fantastic. Again, the staff were there to clear plates as soon as you had finished that part of the meal. Leaving a clear table for your next course.
Everything went so smoothly even checking out. We had a late evening flight but had to check out at 12 noon. Our bags were securely locked away by Michael, the ‘bell boy’ until we needed them at 5.00 pm. This gave us an extra 6 hours in this wonderful city.
I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. Reviewers class it as 3 star, I class it 4 star. With renovations which are going on, we were informed, it will be 5 star. Thank you, all the staff, for a wonderful stay. We will see you again.

Big rooms. Good location. But it still has a distinct soviet area flair. The front desk and room service work occasionally, but not at an international hotel level. The concierge, a young Italian lad, was super friendly and identified a really good cappuccino source.
Somehow, this hotel has a lot of Arab and Indian while I stayed there. Luckily, the bar isn’t dry. Nevertheless, the hotel is okay to sleep, but the other amenities are not first grade.

L’hôtel President est un très bon hôtel, et voici point par point le pourquoi :
— L’emplacement est au top avec vue sur le Château de Prague et la Vltava.
— Pas loin de la place la Vieille Ville, qui est tout de même LA place de Prague.
— Les chambres sont bien grandes, ainsi que la salle de bain.
— L’air de rien ça compte aussi. le Wi-​Fi gratuit !
— Il y a un restaurant ainsi qu’un Piano Bar.
— Le service était impeccable, accueillant et chaleureux.
— Le buffet petit-​Dejeuner était bien rempli avec beaucoup de choix. (Point HYPER positif pour moi, fana de ce repas de la journée ;))
Je né me souviens même pas de points négatifs pour cet hôtel, à part peut-​être les prix des plats au restaurant. Ah et aussi, ici le français il né le connaisse pas très bien, donc à votre venue, optez pour l’anglais !
Sinon, vous né regretterez pas votre séjour au sein de cet hôtel présidentiel.

This is a hotel I would definately recommend.
We got a good deal on our nights here, so for the money we spent this was a really nice place to stay. However if we wouldve had to pay more it wouldnt have been worth it.
The pros;
— very close to city centre, to bars and restaurants
— view over the river (if your balcony is on the good side that is…)
— clean
— good breakfast hours
— rooms are spacious
Cons;
— old, old, old. Not retro. Not nice. Little bit crappy. Clean, though. But old.
— airconditioning didnt work
— not much space in the parking garage
Overall: I would definately stay here again! But thats mainly because of the location
