Our stay
We didn't actually stay at this hotel. We was moved to another one of their chain hotels called the Gellért danubius Hotel. Which was good. Close to the centre right on the river banks. Would re it

We stayed at this hotel 12 years previously and the rooms haven't been updated at all. The location is great and for the low price we paid, can't really complain. However there were some annoying things that could be easily resolved. There is no kettle in the room so no tea or coffee in the morning unless you get one from downstairs that takes forever and tastes BAD. The shower blasts horizontally at your face and is not adjustable. The shower curtain is too close and clings to you in the shower. Gross! The room was rarely cleaned, the bathroom in particular. But we got what we paid for. One major problem that needs fixed urgently are the windows. This is a high rise hotel with low windowsills and the windows open wide!! So dangerous. I would not bring children here. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel is some distance from town, in a drab area. Its a modern building, not attractive. It is just across the road from bus and tram stops, which get you to an interchange for city wide transport. The hotel restaurant is poor, closing early, with very little choice on the menu. We didn't have breakfast - at 11 € each it seemed very expensive. But there was nowhere else nearby. No tea/coffee in the rooms either. We went for the Christmas markets, so it was cold outside. Considering the season, the room was quite cold, duvets thin, and on our last morning we realised the housekeeping staff had only left us with one set of towels that day! Upside was the assistant /night desk manager, who was a lovely chap. We really enjoyed Budapest, and we weren't expecting luxury for the price we paid, but still, the hotel was very disappointing.

The views are fantastic - only on the upper floors though - it's right opposite bus and tram stop, nearby supermarkets and in a quiet location, and it does have a quirky charm (design of the building, ex-communist architecture etc) but the breakfast is way overpriced and because it doesn't start until 7 am (which is late for any hotel wherever you are) there is a stampede for it meaning everything has run out by 7.30. And the hotel is tired and needs redecorating, with the current decor it's like walking into a 1982 episode of Crossroads.

I always liked the round tower and the view from this hotel. Because of the proximity to my childhoods park I came back again. The furniture and the tile work needs updating. It would be nice to have an accessible room with a roll in shower, so we could visit with family on our next trip. (son is an obligatory wheelchair user, needs a shower where he can easily transfer onto a shower chair.). The food in the little restaurant was tasty, and I appreciated the more traditional Hungarian menu. The breakfast was average and overpriced.The staff was friendly and helpful, they treated everyone with real Hungarian hospitality.

Far North of Budas castle district
Being a 'full service' hotel meant that there was no iron or board so one could iron one's own clothes. Don't remember an icebox either, but my room was clean, neat, spacious and the staff was very helpful and friendly. However, the staff could have controlled the complimentary breakfast period; two tour groups had a feeding frenzy. Fortunately, I found a multi coffee machine, in an area nearby where I could eat my breakfast without being trampled.

Hotel Budapest isn’t in a very easy access area of Buda. Hotel staff was very helpful, spoke English for us, hotel was clean. The air conditioning didn’t work as well as we’d hoped and so the room was hot, but all in all a nice stay.

Bed Bugs
The staff were helpful and informative, especially Andrew the Porter, but sadly the room was very outdated, grubby, the beds were very soft, old and uncomfortable the A/C was wholly inadequate for a day when I arrived that was 35 Celsius, and worst of all, Bed Bugs, as I write over 1 week later, I have over 200 bites on my body from the very unclean bed and carpet, I would not stay here again, even if the room was lass than €10 per night, it was worse than a hostel room.

Unusual style of hotel, handy for public transport
This slightly odd hotel reminded my daughter immediately of the one in 'American Horror Story: Hotel'. Built to 17 floors in a circular design, it's got a faintly old-fashioned charm to it which would be more appealing if the air-conditioning worked in the rooms to make them at least a little more comfortable. The lift has to be one of the fastest around, although it appears to have access to at least one and maybe two floors somewhere between the ground floor and the first floor, and it was somehow possible to get off at the basement restaurant floor and walk down the hallway to the ground floor above it..... On a practical note, there is a tram stop right outside and there are a couple of decent cafes within short walking distance, plus a Spar next door if you need bottled water to cope with the sweltering heat in the rooms.

The staff is 5 stars, an old building, a little far from the river, the shape of the hotel is interesting, a cylinder, you can reach your room from both sides of the hall. It is in the north of the city, is far from the main attractions.

A good place to stay in Budapest.
Slightly retro feel of a former era but with good service staff. Allocated a pleasant room on high level floor with clear view of city. Looked really special when main tourist features were illuminated at night. Very frequent trams available outside with connection to all parts of Budapest. Cog railway to the hills starts outside hotel. Good price and breakfast.
