What guests think

At Hotel President, travellers praise the central, transit-friendly location and roomy accommodations, while also noting the building's age, dated bathrooms, thin walls, and occasional temperature-control or plumbing issues that can affect comfort and sleep in some rooms.

Many guests find the interiors very clean, while carpet wear and inconsistent housekeeping are mentioned. Service feedback is mixed: kind staff, some with Japanese-language support, contrast with reports of curt front-desk interactions or unhelpful responses. Breakfast receives both compliments and critiques on value, and noise from nearby plaza events can occasionally be heard. Expect solid value and convenience in an older property with some trade-offs.

The hotel needs a good restaurant for room service. At this time, hotel doesn’t have room service available. Pillows on my bed smells like a dried SWEAT. The smell gets stronger every time I turn my nose against the pillows. There’s coffee and tea bags but no sweeteners or creamer available. There’s no Hot water on my shower Rm 2623. They should hire a female front desk staff, they are more customer friendly than the male front desk staff, they’re rough and often misunderstood. Pls pass this to Hotel management. I’m not sure if Executive Housekeeper is aware what’s going on in his house. The property is very beautiful and attractive but inside the rooms are terrible and his front desk staff.

Pro’s – Decent room with huge fridge, good vantage point and pretty walkable to food, attractions, subway, airport Limo bus, night market shopping and food on street with international brands, with full 3rd party gym access. Con’s – For a “tourist hotel” as advertised front desk was limited in English both in number of staff and breadth of understanding. Otherwise great mountain view from 30 floor was marred by really dirty windows. Bathroom was dated with inexplicable mad engineer designed shower/tub faucet. I’m pretty sure the plumbing leaked UP after a shower, from below the tile - at least it was clear fluid! Hotel seems to me to be a lesser version of a former glory with apparent rental office within and a laundry room like an apartment. Across from city hall so always a heavy police presence and protest could be heard from time to time Seoul in general- Clean (despite lack of street garbage bins) very safe, extensive subway but very challenging to find an escalator on the subway that goes top to bottom which can be a few layers below ground with long walks inside to connect from one line to another

The hotel’s location is very convenient and walkable to and from famous tourist destinations such as Deoksugung palace, myeongdong market, namdaemun market, namsan tower, insadong street, etc. I’m overall disappointed and unsatisfied during the whole duration of my stay here. Here’s a list of issues we’ve had about our room. 1. Bed linens were not changed even though we visibly put the “change bed linens” card on the bed. 2. Carpets/flooring were clearly not vacuumed. 3. We found a bug on the carpet. 4. Internet connection was too slow and we couldn’t even make use of the t.v.as it was having trouble connecting. Although the staffs were nice, I don’t think I would consider staying again in this property in the future.

Once I checked in and realized that the room was not up to my expectation, I tried to cancel the remaing stay, but the hotel did not allow my cancellation. I had to stay at the outdated hotel room with a dirty carpet for 2 more days. The staff at the restaurant was friendly but the room was not as good as the money that I paid.

Let me start with the good: Very comfortable bed. Decent size room. THE BAD!!! The carpet was absolutely filthy and disgusting!! Old, worn out, covered with stains. I was lucky I brought flip flops, they don’t provide disposable ones, only reusable leather ones , terrible. The room had a smell. There is a motion activated light in the entryway that went off on all day long, when in bed, just turning over would activate it. I couldn’t find a way to turn it off. There’s a Concierge desk at the lobby but is for show only. In four days I never seen anybody at the desk. Check out is at 11am. At 11:10 they called me up and told me vacate the room immediately or I would be charged an extra day. There you have it. Supposedly a 4 Star hotel.

Room is big and close to 2 different directions of metro. It’s also 5-10 mins walk to night market with lots of food options. However, the AC isn’t strong at all. We had it set to 20 degrees and it stays at 27 no matter how low we set it. Complained to front desk and nothing was really done. Open the window at night is the only solution to keep it cool. It also shows the age as the carpet has stains in most room and hall ways. However, house cleaning does good job to keep it as clean as possible. I stayed a week here, but I would definitely try different hotel in this area if possible as the location is just great.

Only 1 hook in the bathroom. The receptionists are rather ‘cold’, no smile no matter which one was there, and there were 5,6 of them during the 2 days I stayed there. Maybe it’s the culture?

Close to shopping areas (e.g. Lotte) and walkable to the street markets and train stations The staffs are not nice maybe because of the English communication capability. Not very helpful in provide info correctly. The WORSE: I stayed on the 29th floor on Mar 13-18, 2025. The room temperature was extremely hot even when I opened the windows the whole time and the outside temperature was cold 40-50F. I called the front desk for help and they said that's the way it is for all the rooms (temperature centrally controlled) and they cannot do anything. I request them to move to another room on the lower floor (floor 23), because a friend of my stays on that floor and the room temperature was much better. They refused to find another room for me but provide an electric fan instead - It still no helps. You will not be able to sleep in these condition. So my advise: *** STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL ***
