“Could have been so much better”

Overall the hotel was well presented, the breakfast was fantastic and waiting staff in the restaurant were very helpful. Unfortunately our bedroom was not so good. We chose the suite with a sofa-bed for the children. First impression was that the room was modern and spacious, however the carpet had not been hoovered and was stained in many places. Secondly, the sofa bed for the children was too uncomfortable for them to sleep on it as it had springs poking up. I complained at reception and was given an extra duvet to pad out the mattress but no apology. The carpet was not hoovered for the whole of our stay even though I asked every day at reception. The same pizza crumbs remained on the carpet for 4 days! I had already checked-in online before our stay but still had to complete the process for a second time when we arrived. Also, the hotel had confirmed they would provide a card and chocolate on arrival to help celebrate a special birthday, but sadly this did not happen at any point during the stay. The reception staff were not at all apologetic about the cleaning or uncomfortable beds until I spoke to a different gentleman on check-out. I did not feel like a valued customer and our special celebration was spoiled a little by the dirty floor and lack of interest from the staff.

“Four nights in Budapest”

This is a lovely old hotel but the rooms were much too hot and the bathroom is micro sized. The shower door hits the toilet and leaves very littlle room to get in. Breakfast buffet serves the exact same foods every day. Good location on the tram line and center to the area for Hop on Hop off bus. Lots of restaurants near by. Everything is very clean and neat. No traffic noise if your room is on the opposite side of the hotel from the street

“Excellent Pest option”

Very nice 4 star hotel that has elegantly maintained public spaces (especially the breakfast room) and with excellent access to tram and metro lines. Very close supermarkets for non-tourist purchases. Great breakfast, and rooms with coffee/tea facilities, as well as (unstocked) bar fridges for your own drinks. Nice bar in the foyer and friendly staff. The location is a little sketchy, especially the plaza across the road, though I never felt unsafe. Not sure I'd want to use the nearby metro station late at night, though the excellent tram service stops literally at the door.

“Adequate well-located hotel”

I stayed in this hotel for one night. It was fine, though nothing special. In general, it feels like a wonderful building but where they have struggled to make good use of the lovely space - cheap inadequate furniture and empty spaces etc. I arrived about 2115 (on a Sunday) to find dinner was stopping imminently. Roon was comfortable - though shower room was long and extremely thin - and I had a decent sleep. In the morning, restaurant staff said I didn't have breakfast included, but accepted my word when I said it was included in my rate. The breakfast was relatively poor for a hotel of this price. Location was good. I doubt I'd choose it again though, I found it was pricely and adequate.
