The scenery is beautiful, it's close to the airport and very convenient. It's an hour's drive from the city center and very close to the bus and train stations. The house has a good structure and complete facilities, making for a great stay.

All round the Corinthia Budapest is a great hotel with good prices and excellent service from very friendly employees throughout the hotel. Excellent spar. Relaxed lounge areas. The bedroom on fifth floor was very nice clean and comfortable. The heating system is set at a high temperature which can become quite uncomfortable in the middle of the night. Loved the Christmas decorations and Christmas Sunday brunch with free flowing beverages.  Very tasty food in the restaurant. The only issues we would highlight is the problem with the hotel being so big that the breakfast restaurant gets very crowded with delayed self service causing the food to become cold by time you sit down. This is also due to many guests leaving the Bain Marie food service warmer lids open as they are rushing to get food. Also the coffee is machines are not good quality or require servicing as the coffee was warm or cold once milk or cream was added. This was the case everyday over 5 days we never got a hot coffee.  Hot food and drinks are very important and this was unfortunately the only let down during our stay.  Hence the reason for a lower review score.  Aside from this I would recommend the hotel.

My stay here was absolutely terrible. The worst part was when the cleaning staff entered my room without knocking or permission while I was still inside. This was a severe invasion of my privacy and made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. Furthermore, the hotel's service was disappointing. They charged an extra fee for luggage storage, which was not clearly stated during booking. This felt very unreasonable and like a 'hidden charge.' Overall, this hotel has significant issues with basic service standards and customer experience, making it hard to trust. I will not be staying here again and do not recommend it to others.

Great central location, super convenient, right next to the famous New York Cafe. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, like a concert hall, very grand and ceremonial. The lobby is quite lovely too. My only minor complaint was at checkout; when I spoke to one of the receptionists, a Caucasian woman, she didn't even bother to look up. It was the other female receptionist next to her who actually helped me.

Great amenities and easily accessible. Really good value for money, with a grocery store, cafes and restaurants right by the building. The accomodation provides a great setup for someone who wants to spend a bit longer in the city, and may also want to cook. The rooftop terrace is a lovely addition.

The location is near the old town, so the streets can be a bit chaotic and not the cleanest. However, the hotel itself is great, located just a 2-minute walk from the subway station and a 4-5 minute walk from the tram stop. The hotel breakfast is a standard continental spread with bread, eggs, cheese, and ham, and it tastes decent. Another plus is the coffee machine at reception. The rooms are kept clean, but water is not provided, and the twin room I stayed in didn't have a refrigerator.

A good hotel for its price. Convenient location, polite staff, and a clean room. Breakfast is available for an additional charge if desired – it's modest but quite tasty. The downsides are no fridge or kettle, and the air conditioning wasn't working (but an open window was enough).

I wholeheartedly recommend the Mercure Budapest Castle Hill – my entire stay was absolutely flawless! The hotel boasts an unbeatable location right in the heart of Castle Hill. You can easily walk to famous attractions like Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, and it's super convenient to reach the city center and train station with metro and bus stops right nearby. Getting around couldn't be easier. The room itself was pristine and stylish, with a design that beautifully incorporates local art, creating a fantastic ambiance. It was spacious and bright, and the soundproofing was excellent; despite being on a main thoroughfare, it was incredibly quiet. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. The bathroom facilities were complete, with plenty of hot water and stable pressure, making for a great washing experience. High-speed, free WiFi was available throughout the room, allowing for smooth work or streaming. The 24-hour front desk staff were warm, professional, and multilingual, making communication a breeze. Check-in and check-out were efficient and quick, and services like luggage storage and directions were thoughtful and thorough. The breakfast buffet offered a rich variety of Eastern and Western dishes, all fresh and continuously replenished, providing diverse options to kickstart your day. The hotel's restaurant, bar, business center, and parking facilities are all comprehensive, catering to both leisure and business travelers. The hotel environment is clean and grand, with unique designs in the public areas – the playful decorations in the lobby were particularly eye-catching. Overall, the value for money is outstanding compared to other hotels in its class; the environment, service, and facilities are all top-notch. If you're visiting Budapest, this is definitely a prime choice, and I'll certainly choose it again next time!
