Large, clean room, very comfortable and at a reasonable price. The hotel is old, but still well-maintained.Good location with lots of local restaurants and easy access to the city center by taxi (I did not try public transport so cannot comment on that). 2 complimentary water bottles per day.Staff spoke English and was friendly.They also offer money exchange at reception.There was no hair conditioner (I knew this from the hotel description).The shower tap would leak and I could not/did not know how to properly close it.What I did not like about the room was that there was no ventilation and the room always smelled of cigarettes, even though it was a non-smoking room.Overall, good experience.

I’m a doctoral student from India. I was at Beijing for medical Conference. This hotel was the venue for the conference so I booked them for stay as well. They charged me 400 RMB as deposit in addition to the room fare. Nobody else was charged this amount. When refunding it back the desk manager refunded the entire room fare as well as the deposit and asked me to pay for room stay again. I was using single currency forex card and the refund amount never reflected. They said it might take a month. So now I was left with two paid bills and no refund. I contacted the bank and they asked me to take a letter from the hotel saying they will not claim the refund money back. This was for my bank to release the refund amount to me as it was on hold. The hotel refused to help with this either. The staff is extremely poorly informed. They don’t help. It was their fault but all they could say was it was unfortunate. I don’t recommend this hotel for any international travelers.

Rating is for Google Maps listing. Hotel is not located where it is shown on the map. It is located where the map flags the Presidential Plaza Hotel. These "two" hotels are actually the same hotel. Former name is Presidential Plaza. Current name is The Presidential Hotel.

We stayed for 3 nights in room 606. The hotel is in a central location close to shops, bars and restaurants. Check in was quick and efficient and the lobby is very impressive. The hotel has several lifts so no waiting around. The room had comfortable twin beds, bedside cabinets with lights, a desk with a chair, plenty of clothes space, wardrobe, safe, tv with remote, tea and coffee with a kettle. Hairdryer in a drawer. Fridge and mini bar. A/C, Dressing gowns and slippers. 2 small bottles of water were provided each day. The room was very hot and the A/C did not kick in. We found out that it had been turned off as the seasons changed from summer to winter months. The curtain to the room would not close fully but this was rectified by the reception staff. The bathroom fittings are tired and it could do with a refurb. Having said that there were plenty of quality towels, power shower, bath, constant hot water and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast consists of a Western and Chinese style buffet. The selection was very good. On one morning we had to wait for cups, plates, some food items and coffee. Think a lot of people came to breakfast at the same time causing the shortages. We found most of the staff to be approachable, professional and welcoming. The door staff were always warm and friendly. The hotel was not as good as some we stayed in during our time in China. Even though there were some issues during our visit, I would not discount this as a place to stay.

Very nice hotel. Our room got upgraded. They provide daily room clean plus free bottle water. Location is very good. A few minutes walking to the subway and public transportation. We will stay there again next time.

Was in Beijing for 3 days for business meetings. It's a nice, well-decorated hotel, and the rooms are large. Bathrooms need some updating, however. And the restaurant space is very small for the size of the hotel. The breakfast buffet is quite good, but I had to wait long periods for a seat (much less table) to open up. It's not at the standard of the international luxury hotels, but it's quite good and is very reasonably priced.

We were part of a large group and the Presidential was our first destination. The room was lovely with twin beds. There was a console on the table between the beds and this controlled the lights and heating. We didn’t find that out on the first night, unfortunately. The atrium is amazing with full size palm trees best viewed from the glass fronted lift. We ate breakfast only at the hotel. It catered for western tastes well enough. Staff were lovely. Look out for the liveried doorman-a splendid sight.

One can easily tell from its decoration that the hotel has gone through its glorious past in the early phase of China’s Reform & Opening Up. The hotel is centrally located with a close proximity to the metro station with a great variety of restaurants in the neighbourhood. The staff carry a welcoming attitude and they are always ready to help. In particular, a girl named Jessica who serves at the breakfast buffet restaurant certainly made me feel at home. This is not a fancy place but you would enjoy the convenience here!
