This was just what we were looking for. The hotel was close to Earl's court tube station in a nice neighborhood and had plenty of shops close by to pick up something for dinner. Although some of the cabinets and the floor were rather worn, the room was clean and it spacious by UK standards and had all of the amenities that we were looking for, kitchenette, washer, and a decent size closet for our clothes. The hotel and surrounding area were quiet, so we were able to get a good night's sleep after spending the day sightseeing. My one recommendation would be that they install a grab bar by the tub. The side of the tub was a bit high and there wasn't anywhere to easily grab hold of getting in and out. The glass door swings both ways, so you have to be careful walking onto the wet tub floor. They do provide a rubber mat for the tub, but it doesn't go the full length of the tub. We would stay here again.

images of apartments are nothing like the actual state of of the 2 units I was offered. Went up to the 1st flat and was dissatisfied with the ripped sofa, peeling walls, furniture, moludy smell, etc 2nd a couple of hours later was an 'upgrade' 1. There was a crawling insect in the kitchen which is on the video 2. The sofa this time around had a big hole on the at, stains and blotches all over 3. Black mould patches in the bathroom bad for my allergies 4. Peeling wood all over LEFT AFTER 2ND ONE AND BOOKED ELSEWHERE. LOST 6 DAYS PAID FOR. DON'T BELIEVE THE PICTURES POSTED!!!

Studio Flat.

A furnished Apartment with a Kitchenette. Provide your own food. It was in reasonable condition. Management should purchase new modern bright colour furniture from IKEA to put in the accommodation. The sofa had a hole in it that looked as if a puppy dog had torn it. I informed Reception about it and took a Photo of it on my Phone.

I would definitely stay here again. A nice home away from home in a great location. Parking is on street parking we were there on a Saturday so had to pay for parking £40 otherwise it's free from 6.30pm onwards from Saturday till Monday morning at 8.30am. Cleaning staff were excellent, reception were also helpful in where I called to let them know we would be checking in late. There's always someone on reception. Bathroom is a little on the small side but hey ho the apartment makes up for it size wise as didn't feel claustrophobic.

Presidential itself was the best place I've stayed, the construction directly cross the street was the worst if you're planning to sleep past 7:30am. to have control. I would have appreciated a heads up as I would have brought a white noise machine. I used ear plugs and helped minimally. Back to Presidential. BEST HOTEL/APT!!!

Family weekend stay

We stayed at the Presidential apartments for the weekend. All staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. The apartment was well-equiped, clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for 2 adults and a child. The heating controls were a little difficult to figure out, but we were grateful for air-conditioning. Some decaf options for tea/coffee would have been great, however, I didn't ask staff so cannot say whether they had some available, but none were provided in the room. Having access to a dvd collection was really helpful for evening entertainment. Overall, we had a great stay and would happily book again.

Unacceptable sofa bed option

we had a 3 person standard room. the pull out sofa bed was NOT acceptable as a bed option. When I talked to the desk person, they said they would send another duvet cover which of course made NO difference ! The bed slanted down at the head, you could feel every spring in the so called mattress. It WAS NOT a bed and should not be advertised as a bed. Sleeping on bed springs with 3 duvet covers!!!

The hotel met all our needs. The concierge stored our bags until check in time and transported our bags to our rooms. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is wonderful. Earl's Court tube stop a block away, multiple pubs and restaurants nearby, Marks and Spencer (grocery store) half a block away. You can take the Piccadilly line straight from Heathrow to Earl's Court and you're right there. Pretty much everything else a tourist likely would want to do is also on the Piccadilly/District line, so this hotel is ideally situated for that. Other reviewers complained about the condition of the cabinets or drapes. I suppose one could say that, but they were just fine and did their job. You will want to open the windows so the rooms don't get stuffy, but that's just personal preference. All in all, we had a great 6 night visit and would happily return.
