Chose this hotel after reading reviews and wasn't disappointed. Although not cheap 130 euro a day, was worth it. The room was big enough for a family of four, the kids having 2 single camp beds and a large bed for us. The bathroom had a big walk in shower and a plentiful supply of toiletries. The room has a fridge which was useful in the summer heat. The breakfast buffet had a wide range of hot and cold food and set us up for the day. The hotel is outside the manzoni tube, although the line was being upgraded so took the bus to the Termini about 5 to 10 mins away. In the same time you can walk to the Coleseum past a curry restaurant we tried. We ate at the small piccola hong kong 50yds to the right of the entrance, where food can be had for 5-6 euros. The staff were helpful, getting our room ready with our early arrival. Bags can be left by the dining room, not totally secure, but nothing disappeared.
Overall comfortable base close to main attractions in a quiet neighbourhood. Some may find the lift a big on the small size and precious little chance of getting on the internet in the lobby.

Hotel President was great. First the location: walking distance from the Colosseum and next to (5 meters) Manzoni metro station (direct link to the Vatican). The room: decent size with comfortable (memory foam) beds and really nice pillows (they even have a pillow menu which you can consult). Toilets are new and quite spacious. Also, there are large wardrobe with plenty of hanging space. TV is ok (I bet you will not watch a single minute of it - it's too many beautiful things outside to just stay in).
I didn't visit the restaurant - but I can tell that the services overall were great.

We got this hotel for €109 for two nights via Compare-Hotels.co (comparison site) which we felt was an incredible deal for a 4* Hotel.

The hotel is 10 seconds from Manzioni station (2 stops on the red line to Termini) and a 5 minute walk to the Colloseum.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were not up to much but were typical of Italian breakfasts since the 1950s - ham, eggs and a few mini sausages with pastries and toast available.

The room, was actually huge and luxurious, all the mod cons, really fast and powerful shower, free wifi and very clean room.

We loved it and I'm baffled as to the 400 ranking on Tripadvisor. Had I paid over €200 I would have less praise but for €109 for 2 nights 2 people = bargain.

Stayed at 'The President' this week with my husband to celebrate my birthday in Rome. From arrival to departure the staff were most courteous and helpful. Room on the 4th floor overlooking courtyard was fantastic, spacious and spotlessly clean every day. Only ate breakfast in the hotel which was continental but plenty of choice.
Reception staff helped plan every day ensuring we saw what we wanted in the best way - travel and organised trips etc. We both love 'fish' and the restaurant recommended turned out to be 'Rome's best kept secret' - You will find 'Le Virtu in Tavola' by turning right from hotel entrance and then first right 100 m down the road - We have travelled plenty and always look for a fish restaurant, this has to be the best yet! Ended up going back on our last night as well...
Would like to say a 'huge' thankyou to the staff of the President for making my birthday a truly memorable break
