“Great room with fabulous view of the station”

We were travelling by train so ideal location, looking towards the main Budapest station and its lovely architecture. Great room one of the best we stayed in on this trip. Spacious room with a lovely walk in shower. We went for breakfast the first morning and didn’t enjoy it as it was so crowded around various stations especially the coffee and juice section, so decided not to the next two mornings. The bar and lounge had no character we found.

“I Would Choose A BEtter Location”

Stayed here as a Cosmos escorted tour - there were 27 of us. There is a good bar and restaurant. We had an included buffet dinner, which was okay. Breakfast had a good variety to chose from. The rooms were comfortable and clean. I had taken some washing to a local laundry and having got the clothes washed the dryers did not work. I asked at reception if I could pay the hotel to dry them for me. The ansswer was NO. I asked for hangers to hang them to dry in the room and said I needed quite a few - reply we'll do our best. The air conditioning didn't work. Everytime I left the room it went back to not working and I had to phone down to reception to sort it out. I found the man on reception very unhelpful. I sent an email complaining and a very helpful receptionist called Emma did get my clothes dried for me as I couldn't pack them as they were still wet / damp 24 hours later and we were leaving the following morning. I don't understand why people that are customer facing aren't trained to be helpful to their customers. The difference between the man and Emma was no comparison. The hotel is near the main station, but away from all the tourist parts. Personally I would choose a hotel in a better location. There is a Spar convenience store next door to the hotel.

“Nice hotel, good location, near trainstation, perfect breakfast”

Do Intercity Hotel Budapest jsme se po delší době opět vrátili a naše zkušenost byla znovu výborná. Velmi chválíme skvělý check-in a přístup celého personálu. Přestože jsme měli na pokoji pouze jeden polštář, požádali jsme recepci o další a pokojská nám ho ochotně a rychle donesla. Takový přístup hostům opravdu zpříjemní pobyt. Velkým plusem je také vynikající spánek. Pokoje mají skvělé odhlučnění a perfektní zatemnění, takže si zde člověk opravdu dobře odpočine. Ráno nás čekala vynikající snídaně, ze které si podle nás vybere opravdu každý. Nabídka je pestrá a snídaně je skvělým začátkem dne. Obrovskou výhodou hotelu je také jeho výborná poloha. Nachází se v blízkosti vlakového nádraží a v okolí jezdí spousta autobusových a trolejbusových linek. Přímo pod hotelem jsou navíc stanice metra M2 a M4, takže se pohodlně dostanete prakticky kamkoliv po Budapešti. Děkujeme za příjemný pobyt a skvělý servis. Za rok se budeme opět těšit! Martin Kubiš – Hotel Reviewer We returned to IntercityHotel Budapest after a longer period of time, and once again, our experience was excellent. We would especially like to praise the great check-in experience and the friendly and helpful attitude of the entire staff. Although there was only one pillow in our room, we asked the reception for an additional one, and the housekeeper kindly brought it to us very quickly. This kind of attention to guests really makes a difference. Another big plus is the excellent quality of sleep. The rooms are very well soundproofed and have excellent blackout curtains, so you can truly relax and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. In the morning, we enjoyed an excellent breakfast with a wide variety of options. There really is something for everyone, and it was a great way to start the day. The hotel’s location is another major advantage. It is close to the railway station, and there are many bus and trolleybus lines nearby, making it easy to get around the city. Metro lines M2 and M4 are also right below the hotel, so almost everything in Budapest is within easy reach. Thank you for another pleasant stay and for the excellent service. We are already looking forward to coming back next year! Martin Kubiš – Hotel Reviewer

“Stayed a night”

As a solo traveller this hotel suited my needs. I found it to be quiet. My room was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. If you use the restaurant you won’t be disappointed.
