Budapest Hotel

A clean room, Very close to Sofia Central Bus Station, Need to walk 15-20 minutes to city centre

Superb. I recommend the hotel

The hotel is located not far from the center...just a 10-minute walk. Before I write something bad about the hotel, I will write something good. The hotel staff are very friendly and always ready to help. I especially thanks to Lubomir and Maria. Second, the hotel is neat and clean, but I froze in bed even though I took an extra blanket from the closet and turned on the heating, which they turn off. There is also a special "garden" for smokers. The food is commendable...from breakfast to lunch.

I stayed at Budapest Hotel a total of two nights! Overall, it was a nice hotel and I had a pleasant stay. I will note minor deficiencies below. First off, location. Location of the hotel is excellent - nearby to the transport hubs (train station, bus station) and no more than a 10 minute walk to central Sofia where there are many shops, restaurants, banks, money exchange, drug stores (DM) and supermarkets (Lidl). I was locate to locate local currency, groceries, and toiletries all on the same street. The hotel is quite imposing in height - with many floors of rooms. It has a large sign on the highest floors. This makes it easy to locate your street when finding your way back to the hotel. There is a working lift/elevator, but many mornings I would take the stairs. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. There was an arm chair, luggage storage bench, large luggage storage cabinet, desk, chair, electronic safe, and mini fridge in the room. The room also had a small electric kettle along with 2 mugs, 2 cups and an assortment of tea and instant coffee and sugars. The room had large windows letting in the light, which was a good thing, because I felt like the lighting in the room was severely lacking (the room was very dark!). Some of the lights didn't work, but most working lights provided only a very dim light. There was air conditioning in the room, but it didn't seem to work well or at all. When I would turn it on, it didn't seem to blow any air. The room had a large flatscreen tv with many channels available - local, international (English etc.). The bathroom was clean and was smartly designed. I liked the enclosed large walk in shower! Water pressure was excellent, though water temperature sometimes fluctuated in the shower. The toilet ran from time to time, but it was a minor issue. My only grievances about the washroom would be sparing toilet paper and sparing in shower shampoo. Either the dispenser didn't work properly, or there was very little shampoo in the dispenser. Bathrooms were equipped with many towels, which I appreciated - 2 hand towels and 2 large bath towels. The bed was really comfortable and I loved the firmness of the mattress and pillows. There are many power sockets bedside and in the room generally also, so this was a plus. Wifi signal was strong in the room as well as throughout the entire hotel. Breakfast starts early, at 7:00am however with the number of guests, food started to run short by 7:15am. I feel the amounts put out by the hotel are not sufficient in keeping with the number of guests. Guests who arrived to breakfast at 7:30am were starting at empty or near empty serving platters. I did see one member of the kitchen crew try to replenish food items, but they were disappearing faster than they could be replaced. Seating is also very limited in the breakfast room, with some guests struggling to find a place to sit and eat. Some ended up having to share tables, which is always a bit uncomfortable (if you're lik

Amazing hotel, very clean, comfortable beds, nice shower with a lot of pressure, normal sizer bathroom but enough, boiler and coffee and tea in the room. Plenty of TV channels in different languages. In floor 5 you can see in the night the buildings in the downtown illuminated. If you close the curtains and can't discover what time is it. The staff was very friendly and helpfully and the breakfast amazing. Really a very good option and I will repeat. The hotel is only 6 or 7 minutes walking from the metro station and even, you can go walking to the downtown. A very nice restaurant is in the same street about 300 meter away, traditional restaurant (read my other review about it)
