Arrived on early morning around 2.00am, the 24-hour reception desk is amazing! The pantry is a gem, and having a privacy curtain is definitely a bonus.
The only downside—as expected—was the deep, super loud snore from the other bed. It was an earth-shaking snore that went on the whole night!
Don't judge a book by its cover. This hotel inside is modern and quite contract with its old outlook. Very generous choice of breakfast and very friendly staff.
Picture is outlook outside our window.
I booked a room with a high floor city view online but they just gave me a room with low floor garden view. Therefore, I asked them to change the room with a city view for me.
They assigned me to a low floor city view this time. I've already given up on the levels of the floor aiming to make everyone's life easier. However, I discovered that the door can't be locked and the sink drains really slow in a speed that is honestly unacceptable in my new room. I was really frustrated to go down to the reception to change a new room again.
As a 4 star hotel, I'm absolutely disappointed that they didn't even have the intention to come up to my room and pass me a new room key with apologies but instead, they asked me to go down with all my luggages to pick up a new room key TWICE.
Poor service attitude from the reception lady with a long blonde hair and big round eyes, naming ”Cindy”.
The room is modern and spacious but the door lock can't function properly still. Plus, there're only TWO complimentary bottles of water per stay (no matter how long your stay is), so it's quite inconvenient that you need to buy the water in the lobby at a higher price or anywhere before you return to the hotel.
The location of the hotel is good, there're bus, metro, fast food restaurants, Starbucks nearby with a very nice city landscape.
Fantastic hotel and brilliant location. The beds were comfy and large as were the rooms. There isn’t really the best view out of the hotel rooms, but that isn’t a problem as I found the hotel is a place to use as a base. There were some road works and construction taking place outside of the hotel during my stay. This didn’t impact on the night time and was quiet. The construction works weren’t very well segregated during the day, so this is something to bear in mind. Breakfast is included and is to a high standard and fantastic quality. A good stay all round.
Excellent location, right in the city center, and surprisingly quiet despite being street-facing. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet. It featured a shower, complimentary shared restrooms, and paid laundry service was available. A big plus was having considerate roommates.
The location is superb, right on the riverbank and directly opposite the Parliament Building. It's also incredibly convenient, with the metro station just a minute's walk away. The room size and amenities are standard, nothing particularly remarkable. The front desk staff were quite helpful, and the restaurant boasts a fantastic view!
From the warm welcome by the reception team, to the comfortable rooms, nice and great value dinner and fantastic breakfast we were delighted that we chose to stay here before flying home. When we're next overnighting Budapest Airport we'll definitely be staying here.
The park plaza was a last minute choice for us as we had originally booked into an extremely horrifying Airbnb but we were so lucky to book their last room! It’s in such a prime location with a beautiful view of the parliament building and tram / metro stops within a 5 min walk.
The staff were really accommodating and informative and always smiling which is so lovely to see in the morning.
The only issue we experienced was the malfunctioning AC but they tried their best to resolve it and even offered a room change and complimentary drinks to show their care.
Overall, it was a great stay and I will definitely look to them next time k go to Budapest. Thank you!
Very nice hotel and the location is top class. You can see the Royal Palace from the hotel room. Breakfast was really good. The bed was super large and the room had the AC as well. The hotel is very near to Metro and Tram services. Very close to the city centre.
Overall the stay was really nice and comfortable.
The location is excellent, being close to the subway station and having supermarkets nearby. Overall, the stay was quite good. However, the kitchen in the room wasn't equipped with essential cooking items like pots, pans, or knives, which meant we had to request them from the front desk.
Great

Amazing
GGuest UserVery friendly and helpful staff. They offered us a complimentary upgrade. Great facilities at the hotel, including billiard and gym room for free. The room was spacious, the bathroom was gigantic. The toiletries they offered are from penhaligons. The breakfast was fantastic with a great variety of choices. A very exceptional experience. Will definitely come back.
GGuest UserWhen I arrived at the hotel before 7 o'clock, I was nervous because the entrance door was closed, but when I looked around the intercom, there was a call code on it, so I just had to press it. I went inside just as the other guests were coming out. All the staff were kind and greeted me with a smile, making me feel at ease. A bottle of wine was included in the room and it was delicious!

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.
Ttongtong.333I stayed at three wombats on this trip (Munich and Vienna ) and this one is the best!!! There is air conditioning inside the room!! Can’t complain!!! I visited in summer time and it’s grateful to have A/C. Besides there is a little fan every bed just like in wombat Vienna. The bath room is great, lots of space to put your stuffs, with hair dryer as well. Room is big, full size mirror is a plus. Guest kitchen is big too and three big fridges with enough space to store food. Great location easy to get to metro/ airport bus. Most importantly affordable price!! Love my stay thank you ☺️
SSoh KTVery very troublesome. Trip.com tried to contact me few days before my stay asking for my email for the hotel to send me instructions. Need to download app etc. Very late check in at 4pm for me. Waited since 12.30pm with my luggages. No luggage storage. Not just me, outside the hotel there were 4 other groups of people waiting and keeps refreshing their email waiting for the check in. Check out at 10am, I have no idea why 3pm still can't finish cleaning. During my 3 day stay there were no cleaning at all so what are you busy with?

Very Good
--Nancy-Overall, our stay at the Mercure Budapest Castle Hill Hotel was okay as there were some areas that could be improved. The hotel front area had a warm and inviting ambience, which was nice.
Upon arrival, we requested a top-floor room, but the staff recommended keeping our current room as it offered a better view. We appreciated their insight and decided to stay where we were. The hotel’s location was decent—about a 20–30 minute walk to the city area, making it manageable.
The bedroom itself was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax. However, the bathroom and toilet were quite small, which made them feel a bit cramped. Additionally, while the room was clean, the bathroom was less so. We noticed hair left behind, and there was little to no body wash gel provided. The towels were dirty upon arrival, requiring us to request new ones on the first day.
One frustrating experience was with the housekeeping staff. On our second morning, we wanted to sleep in, but were interrupted twice—once at 10 AM and again at 11 AM—by a cleaner knocking to check when we would be leaving. When I confirmed that the checkout time was indeed 12 noon, I didn’t understand why they felt the need to rush us out. It felt unnecessary and a bit intrusive.
Despite these issues, our stay was generally fine. If the hotel could improve housekeeping efficiency, ensure cleaner bathrooms and amenities, and provide a bit more space in the bathroom area, it would be an even better experience.
MMing886The hotel is in a great location, with easy access, and is a five-minute walk from the airport bus station. The room is simple and elegant, and it is very convenient to go anywhere. I will choose to stay here again next time.
