The hotel is gorgeous!! Breakfast spread was alright; nothing too special but the architecture of the space was very lovely. The live classical music was an added bonus.
We had issues with the shower and after two attempts to fix it, we were moved to another room. We appreciated the gesture.
The weather was extremely hot and it was very unpleasant to be out but we were able to walk down to the port in 20 mins, so the location was great.
We tried to get in a spa treatment but it was fully booked, we should've pre-booked before arriving!
All in all, a lovely few days.

My first trip to Europe will be a really good memory! It starts with the hotel. The clean interior and exterior, various facilities, the location close to the airport bus stop and the city center, etc. If I visit Hungary again, I will definitely come back.
Convenient hotel, very reasonable price, not far from the main station of Line 2 subway station, it should be within five minutes on foot, there is a prima supermarket behind, convenient for replenishment. There are no food stores nearby. But if you are willing to take a subway stop, there is also a bustling commercial district.
It is about ten to fifteen minutes' walk from Fisherman's Bastion, which is also acceptable. Recommended for consideration

Very very good location. Right in front of Nyugati train station where you connect to somewhere conveniently. Many amenities around the hotel, restaurants, Starbucks, supermarket etc. Affordable price point for Europe hotel, super clean and modern. Breakfast is superb, staff is impeccably polite.

The location is perfect, right and one of the shopping streets where you can walk to a lot of the attractions. The hotel has 2 exits where one is open 24/7 where the reception is and where you can be dropped off by taxi. The other is on the shopping street, closing at 22.00 because it is also where the hotel restaurant Winestone is located. The restaurant has a good variety of food and very friendly and diligent staff which goes for the whole hotel. The breakfast is not served in the restaurant, but on the 2. floor. It has eggs, bacon, bread, cheese, ham, cereal, yoghurt, small pancakes, fruit, a little bit of vegetables. Could have liked the hot food to be hot, it was seldom the case. The room was nice with safety deposit box, coffee/tea, 1 bottle of water each day, mini bar and shampoo + shower gel and hair dryer. The room was cleaned spotless every day! The room becomes a bit hot and it helps to open the window. Right now there is construction going on, so you don't want the window open while they work. In the ground floor there is a fitness room with a good variety of equipment. The front desk staff is very helpful. We used the cleaning service for having some shirts ironed. That worked very well.

When we came to Budapest, a friend picked us up at the hotel. We followed the navigation and turned around for several circles before we found it. In fact, the location is quite good. There is a parking space at the door, so we can stop for a while to take our luggage. The hotel lobby feels very retro. On the first day, I was not used to English yet, so I didn't take the initiative to greet the handsome guy at the front desk, and the handsome guy didn't say a word to us. After checking in, I found that it looked like a three-star hotel in China in the last century. Although the bed was narrow, it was very comfortable. The hotel does not provide toiletries, only a bottle of glass water, and a bottle of water was provided for several nights. In winter, the room was not cold at all, and there was heating. It takes 4 minutes to walk to the subway station. There is a supermarket next to the subway station. It is very close to the Danube River. It is no problem to walk to the Central Market. We didn't get over the jet lag on the first day, and woke up at 4 am (actually it was 11 noon in China, 7 hours later). So, we walked out at 6 am, went to the subway station to buy a one-day transportation ticket, and then went to the Central Market for a walk. It is recommended not to go too early, because many shops are not open. I only bought bread at the AlDI supermarket in the basement for breakfast. Friends who come here, get up early and go to Fisherman's Bastion! Take a ride on the retro tram here.
Excellent location in Budapest, the hotel is in a monument building, the rooms are spacious, the design is in accordance, the linen is of good quality. The pool with thermal water, mineral water are wonderful. Thank you to the master for the sauna rituals, it is a plus for the spa!

I booked a Ctrip beggar’s version room and spent money to upgrade.
It is recommended to book a street view room with windows that can be opened.
The details of the room are pretty good. I forgot to take a photo. It’s the same as the picture online.
The service at the door is like this. After tipping, you will be replaced...
The front desk is quite helpful, but the quality of the doorman needs to be improved.
The restaurant is good and there is sparking wine freeflow for breakfast…

Just a simple clean room and no view for most standard category which we stayed but hospitality of door gentlemen , receptionist and concierge are really elevated our stay.
Customer there also very different .
Location is very very good to shop and dine.
The restaurant concierge recommended was so good !!!
The environment is very good, the breakfast is also rich, there are all kinds of cheese, and the hot spring vacation is very suitable. It's a pity that I didn't have time to enjoy it in the hotel. The transportation is relatively convenient
Very Good

AAnonymous UserCarlton Hotel Buda Castle - A Location Lover's Dream!
My recent stay at the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle in Budapest was largely defined by its absolutely awesome location. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the historical heart of the city, this hotel is a fantastic choice.
Being just minutes away from both the majestic Buda Castle and the picturesque Fisherman’s Bastion was a huge plus. I particularly appreciated the convenience for early risers – those who wish to view the stunning sunrise and enjoy the area before the crowds arrive (potentially with free entrance before official opening hours) will find this hotel incredibly convenient, as it's just a short stroll away.
Furthermore, the hotel's location also allows for a pleasant walk to the viewing area across the river from the Parliament building. Seeing the illuminated Parliament at night from the opposite bank was a memorable experience, and it was easily accessible on foot from the hotel.
The room itself was cozy and comfortable, providing a welcome retreat after a day of exploring. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
However, there was one notable downside: the soundproofing could be improved. I occasionally heard noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway, which sometimes disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Overall:
Despite the minor issue with soundproofing, I would still highly recommend the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle, especially for travelers who prioritize location above all else. Its proximity to key attractions like Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion, along with the easy access to sunrise views and the Parliament panorama, makes it a truly convenient base for exploring the best of Buda. If you're a light sleeper, bringing earplugs might be a good idea, but the unbeatable location truly makes this hotel a strong contender for your Budapest stay.
GGuest UserI've stayed in Wombat's hostels in Budapest (twice), Munich and London (also twice). Always a pleasant experience!
Good location, great receptionists, nice rooms. Would recommend. (And would love to visit again.)
GGuest UserReading the reviews, overall I was expecting worse. The room was a little dated but clean, the bathroom ditto. Clean sheets and towels. On the other hand, the pillows offered are really uncomfortable, the mini bar is not working and the breakfast is very poor and without a sweet proposal: I went on for three days on bread, butter and jam. The staff were friendly enough and the location was excellent for getting to the center by public transport.
GGemaThe hotel location is good and everything is ok. But the second day when I went out, I put ”Please Clean my room” but I nurtured to Hotel my room around 14:40 but room had not clean yet, then around 15:10 suddenly the room door were open by someone and should be for clean room, but it should be knock the door and make sure if the guest were at room our outside! That is the one point what I do care and even after I checked the door lock, it is almost broken.
Also for the room mark cup, it is really old and should be change.
Best Regards
Gema
WWarlie Zambales DiazHotel President Budapest exceeded all my expectations! The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was impeccable, making for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. The breakfast selection was outstanding, offering a wide variety of options that catered to all tastes, and everything I tried was delicious and fresh. The hospitality of the staff was exceptional—they were incredibly warm, accommodating, and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was perfect.
The hotel’s location is another highlight. It is within walking distance of major landmarks like The Parliament and St. Stephen’s Basilica, making it a perfect base for exploring Budapest. There are also many great restaurants and other tourist spots nearby, making it easy to enjoy the city without the hassle of long commutes. I highly recommend this hotel for its quality and convenience!

MMagic71A great base to visit Budapest from, great rooms that are clean and comfortable. The hotel has a gym and a large jacuzzi and a sauna. The jacuzzi needs a clean I will say as it’s very opaque and the top felt a bit slimy which put me off using it which is a shame. The breakfast hot options were not great for me being veggie and were cold. The potatoes were not cooked. The cold options were great, good choice of cereal, cheese, bread and rolls. Lots of very nice pastries and yoghurt. There were juices and hot drinks. I had a lunch in the restaurant and that was very nice. I had baked Camembert salad. Also lovely lady in bar/restaurant gave me a pint of milk for room for me to make tea with. No milk in mini fridge but coffee and tea supplied. The room has everything you need and more. Big showers and separate w/c.
Beds are comfortable with plenty of pillows and rooms have excellent blackout curtains. My gripe was how hot the rooms were but that was a me problem and was fine with window open. There is public transportation just outside the hotel and a shopping complex a 5 min walk away. The hotel offers a 24 hour airport shuttle which is brilliant! Lastly I have to mention the staff….. they are what makes this a stand out hotel for me, they were all so very good, friendly and helpful, kind , patient and NICE!!! As a solo female traveler this made me feel safe and happy and comfortable which is very nice. I would 100% recommend this hotel.
CChun Chuen DennisThe hotel was located at some distance away from the city centre. Nevertheless, travelling to the city centre was quite convenient as we could take the tram for one stop and then the metro for four to five stops. The room was clean and was quite spacious.
GGuest UserThe hotel was very modern and clean. My husband and I were both impressed with the decor. We were confused by the listing on trip compared to the actual hotel so the images may need updating; we were expecting a bath in the room however there was only a shower.
We were still happy and felt well looked after. I would recommend the hotel.
