NH Collection Budapest City Center

NH Collection Budapest City Center

Budapest|2.39km from city centre
The NH Collection Budapest City Center provided a decent stay for my first (and hopefully not last) visit to Budapest, Hungary. I stayed nine nights in November 2021 and opted for one of the residence apartments with a second floor. The amount of space provided was impressive. Loved having a balcony on both floors. Did not use the smaller bath downstairs very much. The apartment provided a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher and combination clothes washer/dryer. I was very pleased with he amenities offered in the apartment. I was very happy that the upstairs bathroom had a shower, which did NOT leak! Many other hotels are installing showers with a completely useless half shower door. The upstairs shower was a full enclosure and did not suffer an extremely wet floor with damp towels after showering. Bravo NH Collection Budapest City Center! The staff at the hotel were very helpful and I very much appreciated that the breakfast staff did not turn guests away if they showed up for breakfast after breakfast had ended. Guests were still allowed to have breakfast as long as food items were still available to be taken. However, after a few days, the breakfast options are a bit boring (same every day). The coffee is outstanding and offered all day long. Cookies and other snacks are available as well. I noticed that the business center computers still had Windows 7 installed?! Perhaps change that and update the operating system on the computers. Needless to stay, I did not use those computers. As others have mentioned, the hotel is within walking distance to an accessible MTS underground train station, Lidl grocery, the New York Cafe and a very good burger restaurant (Vaslap). All things considered, I would probably consider staying again or recommend to others opting to visit Budapest. Hope this review helps!

Sometime people who write reviews are not objective and some others they are simply guilty. Well, while I was thinking to have been ignored, the staff of this hotel was working silently for me in the back stage. So that, first of all: THANKS A LOT TO EVERYONE. I apologize for my fault. I’m grateful for your promptness in sending to my home a stuff forgotten at the hotel. Coming to the experience, once upon a time…a way to manage hospitality. Here the hospitality is full of care. The hotel is perfectly located, a few walk from Chains Bridge , tram train and Budapest Parliament. When you get in you are enraptured by the stunning, lustful lobby and by the aroma on the air. We stay in a suite, which has all the amenities you need and a touch of elegance you do not find everywhere. The staff is all kind and helpful, starting from the valet Parker, the Concierge team, the Person who brings your luggage. Every need is considered with professionalism, respect and care. A special mention to the breakfast: you’ll find a right variety of international suggestions. What is it important to point out is the freshness and the quality of the food. In this case too, only few times the food quality related to a top rated hotel respect the expectation. Here the reality went over expectation. Finally, we can say to have been stayed at our home because each time we reach the hotel it was like we have been living there. Many thanks for the special delights founded into the room to celebrate my wife’s special occasion. Congrats to everyone for the hard, helpful, kind work which was the pillar of our amazing stay in Budapest. All the best and looking forward to a next stay.

Impulso Fashion Hotel
4.2/5115 Reviews

Impulso Fashion Hotel

Budapest|2.91km from city centre
Stayed here for 3 nights and it was the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. The trams outside are non stop and even with ear plugs you can still hear them rattling along. The lobby area of each floor is set out in a big circle with the rooms round the outside and a hole in each floor all the way to the top so the noise of guests even from different floors carries like mad. On our final night a party came in late and were making so much noise running around and slamming doors that we couldn’t sleep and had to phone down to reception to ask them to send someone to shut them up. (Please don’t think I’m usually ‘that person’ as I’m really not!) The maids also started very early and are not in the least bit quiet….at times it felt like they were in the room with us. It’s a shame as the hotel is clean and the rooms are really nice and big. Powerful shower and comfy bed (tho lack of pillows meant we had to use the sofa cushions!) About a 20 minute walk from the ‘centre’ area - the area the hotel is in is pretty grubby but there’s a Tesco across the road for snacks and a metro station also very close. About a 20 minute walk from Astoria stop if you’re getting a bus from the airport. Very limited bar, no restaurant for anything other than breakfast, and no drinks making facilities in the room. I wouldn’t give the hotel 4 stars to be honest. The reception staff and breakfast staff were lovely, couldn’t fault them at all. Just a shame about the racket, by the end of the weekend we were dead on our feet, partly due to all the walking you usually do on a city break but mainly due to the lack of sleep! Because of this, I 100% would not stay here again and couldn’t recommend it to anyone who values a decent nights sleep.

Est Grand Hotel Savoy

Est Grand Hotel Savoy

Budapest|2.35km from city centre
Stayed here for 2 nights, the building is located in quite a convenient area with choices of public transport. It appears to be quite a newly renovated building, it stands out to be the most well-kept building in the whole street. I booked the Classic Double Room, Balcony with breakfast. I wouldn’t say the balcony is in many ways functional, it is very narrow and it is mainly used for people who want to smoke as there is an outdoor ashtray there. The room itself is modern, well kept, and didn’t show any particular wear so far. There are several issues I found with the room, the air conditioning works quite well but it is manually operated, when I left it in ‘auto’ mode it was quite loud. In the evening I set it to low fan speed but it just created a constant quite irritating fan noise which went away when I set the fan speed to medium. I also dislike the curtains, the blackout material doesn’t reach all the way up it leaves around a 2cm gap so the room is quite light in the morning. I tend not to sleep well when the room isn’t dark. I used the coffee machine in the room, but the coffee machine doesn’t work properly, despite I pressed the “full cup” function the machine only made around 10ml of coffee despite I keep pressing the button it would not make enough coffee to drink. When I returned to the room the next day the used coffee pod is still very much in the machine when I wanted to try the machine again which isn’t ideal when the housekeeper hasn’t checked the machine. The dirty cup was changed. Breakfast is at the basement restaurant, the selection of food is quite good and it was kept refreshed during breakfast. The reception staff were polite and spoke good English. Overall, I felt the room is modern, location is not bad but I felt the overall attention to detail is somewhat lacking such as the curtains doesn’t block out the light, noisy air conditioning, and the cleaning routine not involving checking the coffee machine. I don’t necessarily not recommend it but there are a few problems.

Ana Palace by Eurostars Hotel Company

Budapest|0.12km from Shoes on the Danube Bank
What we enjoyed: Real question is what is not to enjoy about this hotel?! The moment you enter the hotel, it gives you this royalistic and luxurious feeling as you walk into and within its hallways. Very beautiful and charming interior design! Clean and luxurious feeling! The staff deserves a special notice of their very friendly and polite presence during our whole stay there, always ready to help and serve our needs. We spent our 2 nights on 4th floor and our room was very pleasent with all its features, bed also very comfortable to sleep on and good soundproofing. Upon first enter, we were pleasently surprised by the dessert serving, that was provided for us as a welcoming gesture from hotel! Cakes don't lie. Breakfast was good and delicious and widely provided! Little bit everything for everyone. We loved the dining area in the hotel's beautiful restaurant hall, where you could enjoy your breakfast meal while admiring the hall's luxurious design. Lastly the spa and gym services provided should be something for everyone to check out. We wanted a spa features for our few days stay in Budapest and Aurea Ana Palace hotel's servings for this need were more than satisfying enough for couple days stay. Sauna was brilliantly realdeal (coming from a finn!) and cold pool, jacuzzi pools were suitable enough for relaxing for couple days. For longer than few days of stay maybe bigger spa facility would be needed. We also took massage service in the hotel, which was provided upon request. Masseuses were very professional and caring during the massage! Gym itself wasn't big deal: 2 treadmills, rowing machine, crosstrainer for some cardio training. Strength training possibilities were very minor due to one only small crosspulley device. What we DID NOT enjoy: Overall, I would say we were fully satisfied and happy of our stay in Aurea Ana Palace hotel. We will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for luxurious experience for few days in the city withoit breaking completely their wallet. We'll be keeping in mind of this pearl for the next time we set foot on Budapest! However, few development ideas to consider for the staff: Spa should be useable also during the earlier day/morning (Spa opens by 13.00). This would give more flexibility and even more richer experience for the guest to enjoy morning bath/sauna before starting their day. Gym could use few more additions for strength training capacities. For example in freeweight section, such as: handweights, bars, etc. Elevator traffic was sometimes too crowded. During our stay one of the two elevators was out of service, which made the hotel's one and only elevator overly congested. The broken elevator was sadly out of service during our whole visit.
Park Plaza Budapest

Park Plaza Budapest

Budapest|0.42km from Shoes on the Danube Bank
The hotel is conveniently located very close to public transportation. The tram is right across the street and the Metro station just a short walk away. You can also walk across to the other side of town where all the stores and restaurants are by using the Chain Bridge. However the bridge was closed for pedestrians last month, not sure if it is now open. Our room was a good size and we had a beautiful view of the Danube river and the Parliament. The small balcony outside our window needed to be cleaned though, as there were spider webs everywhere. Realized that after I stuck my head outside to look at the view.. You can also look outside the window in the hallway when you get off the elevators. It has a nice view of the castle at night. Bathroom was fine, there was a nice bathtub with a nice shower but I found the bathtub very high and it took me extra effort to climb in and out. Never had that problem before but for some reason this tub was not easy to climb into. The breakfast had many yummy choices. There were not many changes in what they offered everyday, but still they had many choices and also many different coffees you could prepare on the machine. Front desk staff were cordial and one young man in particular was very helpful with everything that we needed. I don't remember his name but he was in his 30s I believe with a goatie. All in all we enjoyed our stay! The only thing we wished is that this hotel had a pool, but oh well!

Corvin Rose Apartment Hotel

The location is very good, on a pedestrian street opposite the supermarket, downstairs with a restaurant, pizzeria and beer hall. On the diagonal is Las Vegas **. If you take a taxi from the outside, you will find a shopping mall at the end of the pedestrian road. Among them are banks, money changers, supermarkets and Eve. Shoe store. My boss is Chinese and enthusiastic.
Danubius Hotel Helia
4.3/5108 Reviews
A solid performance from a good 'all round' experience. The hotel hasa great location overlooking the Danube. Well placed for nice walks, boat trips and restaurants alike. The hotel serves a thoroughly decent buffet breakfast in pleasant surroundings. The lobby and bar areas are very slick, contemporary styled and show a high degree of imagination. There is a physio /medical facility too. Seems to be very popular - offering a range of treatments. The spa pools are decent and the gym well equipped and a nice atmosphere. Great hotel, excellent stay and would welcome the opportunity to stay there again.
Danubius Hotel Erzsébet City Center

We spent 4 nights at Danubius hotel and overall was a pleasant stay. Bed is comfortable, room is a decent size and clean. Was very hot and the air condition was fully working. Location is great as well with many restaurants around. Great value.
Budapest Center Residence
4.5/55 Reviews
We have a double room for 4 people with a child in the middle of the age. I had read negative comments about the duplex stairs very dangerous, for the moment the one was not particularly dangerous (precision for families with children). The apartment is very well equipped: microwave, vase, sponge, vase liquid, hair dryer, iron to pass...the residence is very well located, the transport are very well served. The hotel is very comfortable and the hotel is very comfortable. The hotel is very comfortable and it is very good to get a lot of money.
Courtyard Budapest City Center
4.4/571 Reviews
Check in at 12:00 on the same day, the hotel counter staff took the initiative to say that the room has been cleaned, and they can let us check in in advance, which is great! Although there are only four stars, the location in the city center is great. It is only a 5-minute walk from the New York Cafe. There is a shopping center next door, which is very convenient. Ask the hotel service staff about the taxi service, and take the initiative to remind us that the price of calling a taxi through the hotel is reasonable. The service staff Friendly attitude, feeling good 👍
Hampton by Hilton Budapest City Centre
4.4/528 Reviews
A good hotel but still needs to work on a few things. Rooms are excellent. At Breakfast the staff is a bit cold and a touch rude. When asked for butter, which ran out, a huge - „what?“, followed by an „ahhhh“ as the diva devine walked off to replace. Wine served at the bar is dishwasher water - come on - you are a wine Country, so serving wine which is the cheapest possible - seriously!!! Otherwise you can fault.

Budapest Hotel Guide

Hotels in Budapest

Best Time to Travel to Budapest

Rich history, beautiful parks, stunning architecture, underground bars, and centuries-old thermal baths — all this and much is what makes up Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Budapest is made up of two cities bisected by the Danube river — Buda on the west side is hilly, while Pest (pronounced “pesht”) on the east is flat. The cities were merged in the 19th century, with the resulting city almost being named Pestbuda. There was a third city — Óbuda — that was merged with the others in 1873. The 19th-century Chain Bridge was the first stone-bridge connecting Buda and Pest. The historical separation also gave Buda and Pest have distinct identities. Buda is home to grand residential areas and Buda Castle, whereas Pest is a favourite among party people and is known for its ruin bars. The best times to visit Budapest are spring or autumn — March to May or September to November, respectively. Apart from the pleasant weather, the city isn’t overcrowded and, therefore, prices are within budget. Though the summer months — June to August — see a lot of tourists, the heat and excessive crowd may make for an uncomfortable trip. During the winter months there are barely any tourists because the weather is very chilly and public most attractions are shut.

Airport in Budapest

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, also known as Ferihegy, is the main international airport serving Budapest. It is also the largest of Hungary’s four commercial airports. Located around 15 from the city centre, the airport has two passenger terminals — Terminal 2A handles flights within Schengen area and Terminal 2B serves flights to non-Schengen destinations. The airport is equipped with services such as restaurants and cafés, duty free shops, ATMs, currency exchange and tourist information counters. For getting to Budapest from Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, you can take a taxi, bus or rent a car. A taxi ride costs around £27. If you don’t want to hire a taxi, you can take a bus. Board the 100E Airport Bus. A ticket costs £2.5. There is also a 24/7 bus service, 200E, whose ticket costs around £1. However, it takes longer than 100E to reach the city centre. Your other option could be to rent a car from the numerous rental agencies at Terminal 2B.

Transportation in Budapest

You can discover Budapest by walking, as most tourist sites, restaurants, bars, and thermal baths are within walking distance of each other. If you like biking, you can rent a BuBi bike from over 140 docking stations across the city. Tickets range from £1.3, £2.6 and £5, depending on the number of days you are hiring the bike for. You will be charged a refundable security deposit of £62 that will be returned to you after your ticket expires. To easily get around the city, you can also use Lime electric scooters. The cost consists of a base charge of £0.9. Since Budapest has a good public transportation system, you can opt for buses, trolleys, and trams. If you are over 65 years and from an EU country, all public transport in Budapest is free for you. For others, the fare is £0.9. For directions, rely on Google Maps or download the BKK FUTÁR app, operated by the Center for Budapest Transport.
