“Stay away from this hotel if you can”

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at, not only because of the accident I experienced during my stay, but also because of the disappointing way the hotel handled the situation. During our family vacation at Leonardo Hotel Budapest, a cabinet door in the bathroom fell onto my foot, causing significant pain and an injury that required a visit to the emergency room. I spent four hours at the hospital instead of enjoying precious holiday time with my family. The injury has continued to affect my daily activities, including my ability to resume running. What made the experience even worse was the lack of concern and professionalism from the reception staff. I requested the hotel manager’s email address twice but received no proper assistance. Instead of feeling supported, I was met with dismissive attitudes that made an already stressful situation even more frustrating. On top of everything, we experienced repetitive knocking noises approximately every 30 minutes, making it difficult to rest comfortably. Having worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade, I understand that accidents and unexpected situations can happen. However, what truly defines a hotel’s standard is how its staff respond when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, the lack of empathy, accountability, and effective communication made this one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I have ever had. A family holiday should be about making wonderful memories, not dealing with injuries, hospital visits, and indifferent customer service. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience, particularly to families travelling with young children.

“Not a 4 star hotel”

Our room smelled stale, the leg came off the desk and the paint in the bathroom was chipped. This hotel is in dire need of a renovation, there are better options out there.

“Lovely hotel a nice location”

I actually stayed here in September 2024 but I’ve only got round to reviewing now. Booked this hotel as the original place I booked & paid for was a complete dive so I’m truly glad I found this gem. Room was big spacious, warm, clean, modern with a very comfortable bed. Staff friendly & helpful. The atmosphere within the hotel was nice. Not overly sure on the location as I used bolt to get around to places however it was safe to walk around on your own with a decent supermarket about a 10 min walk down the road & a nice local restaurant right across the road from the hotel. If I ever come to Budapest again I would 100% stay here.
