Stayed here for 5 nights during the Hungarian GP and honestly couldn’t fault the place even though the hotel was at full capacity. The staff were helpful, check in and out was super quick, there was always somewhere to sit during breakfast and plenty of choice (hot and cold) and enjoyed everything I had. Had dinner at the hotel on my last night and that was also nice! The hotel room itself was spacious and clean and I found the bed really comfortable, also a good amount of sockets. Only a few minor first world gripes, no iron or ironing board but not a big deal as I always travel with a steamer. The shower pressure in my room was low, but my friend on the same floor said hers was fine, so it might just be luck of the draw! If I’m staying for 5 nights, I’d LOVE 5 nights worth of coffee sachets and creamers but again I brought my own instant coffee etc. Got back from the track quite late and thought I’d find some solace in the vending machine but it had pretty much been depleted but again might have just been poor timing on my part. Overall excellent stay and in a great location, would absolutely stay here again if returning to Budapest.

My room was cleaned ok, but the safe didn’t work. And when showering the water didn’t go down the plug so was filling up and looked like dirty water was coming out obviously a problem with drainage as you could hear it struggling even when you used the sink so something that needs looking into.

I enjoyed the addition of fried rice / noodles to the breakfast

I was unfortunately next door to a family with a small child who cried a lot during the night - not the fault of the hotel but the walls are quite thin and the adjoining door, although locked, did not help keep the noise out

There was also a small hole in the panelling of the bath which needs fixing

Not a 4 star hotel! I have stayed in hotels for at least 60 nights in the past year and this hotel does not measure up to that standard. The rooms are small, the mattresses are way too soft, and the water in the bathtub creeps up to your ankles or above when you take a shower (maybe it drains before your shower ends). The breakfast is very good and the staff is very helpful. It is very close to a metro station, but so are many hotels. Overall, I was very disappointed and do not recommend this hotel.

Overall everything was absolutely fine! It gets the job done and is affordable 😊 only couple things that were a little bit of an annoyance was that somehow we had ants in our room, but ultimately it didn't affect us too much. The hotel breakfast while I understand is unlimited once you pay, it's roughly £16 per person and the food was meh. Most of the hot items or bread items were a bit stale, but I still managed to find something and last thing was that we had no idea there was a water aerobics class on which no one mentioned about when we came to the pool and only knew because the woman instructor told us to get out of the pool and then we saw the smallest hidden sign telling us there was a class on. I don't see these as massive problems and I will most likely stay again, but these were just a few things I disliked. The front desk staff and cafe staff were really lovely and welcoming 😊

Never again

Hotel was filled with Russians with no manners. A woman at check in jumped in front of me on the line and the hotel personnel didn’t say anything. Breakfast was very stressful with hundreds of people pushing and being rude to get food. It was an awful experience every day. The sauna experience was not pleasant either due to the lack of manners of the men in there. The hotel was decent but the guests were a nightmare.

It is convenient to stay here before departing at Liszt Ferenc Airport, taxi cost is manageable. The room is very nice, however the air condition could not cool it down to a comfortable level in time. There is a system,that no electricity in the room, when is not occupied. Breakfast was very nice, but could not utilize it because it is open at 7am and for air travel you need to be at the Airport early. However, I was able to take out a few item in a container.

This hotel is within walking distance of the sports arena, and I was attending a concert there. It was reassuring to know that I could exit the concert around 11:30 and not worry about transportation.
The one thing that I objected to was that someone in housekeeping had turned off the air conditioning while I was out. I came back to a hot room. I discussed the situation at the front desk, and it didn't happen again.

Do not use, they move you hotels

Upon arrival I was given no choice but to move to their sister hotel. Hungaria City Center. I was told that all the facilities were the same. When I got to the new hotel I found that it was primarily used for corporate events and has no swimming pool, restaurant, sauna, bar or room service. They offered me no compensation for this aside from a dinner, to which I was refused to take when attempted. Only offered the left over food from a private events buffet. Absolutely disgusting experience.

The hotel has constructions works and therefore the room was noisy until the weekend.( when works stopped)
When I left I have ordered a Taxi from the reception. I told the lady that I need it to Deak square and not to airport. The Taxi driver had in mind that I need a ride to the airport.
He became very violated and charged me
Much more that I had to pay him.because I recognized just after 10 minutes that hecis not on the way to DEAK TER.
He was shouting on me at 03.30 in the morning. So I will not forget this hotel, and will never think to recommend my friend to go there or to go back. Never ever !!!!
