Top Budapest Hotel Reviews

Prestige Hotel Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"The property is situated in an excellent location for sightseeing. It’s a modern, very nice place that complements the historic setting. The bed was comfortable, and the water pressure and quality were good. There were also all the conveniences. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a more affordable option without compromising on quality. It’s a step down from high-end but still offers excellent value for money."

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great and the service was very good , always smiling and ready to please"

Anantara New York Palace Budapest - A Leading Hotel of the World

10/10 Excellent

"Great property with a beautiful restaurant for breakfast"

Corinthia Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. The hotel is off the charts and the spa is not to be missed"

Eurostars Palazzo Zichy

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and the property well kept. However, something went wrong with the hot water heater in the hotel and we were without hot water for 2 days. The hotel ended up transferring us to their sister hotel (Exe Budapest Center), but I felt like a plumber should have been on hand to fix the hot water heater within a few hours."

InterContinental Budapest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had a river view room which meant we had some stunning shots out of the window. A tip: close the curtains before you leave if you're going out for the day as the sun shines directly into the room and the air con will struggle. The room is spacious, with a good desk area for those who need to work. The only tiny downside is that the rooms are a bit dated. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly - from the bell hop to the concierge to the check in staff. They also have umbrellas to borrow.... The Lebanese restaurant was also very good. Extremely tasty food and definitely worth a try. A bit expensive for Budapest but worth it. We didn't use the other restaurant/bar nor did we have breakfast so can't really comment. The location if second to none. Your right next to the Chain Bridge and delightful day out is a walk across the bridge, onto the funicular railway up to the castle, Fisherman's Bastion and other attractions. 10 minutes to the Parliament and 10 minutes the other way to the Market and lots in between."

Park Plaza Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"Best location"

Hilton Budapest

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding location on top of Castle Hill. Very walkable and close to funicular to get down to river level. Many great restaurants nearby."

Danubius Hotel Arena

10/10 Excellent

"Full scale gym runs out of the hotel. Very nice staff. Close to metro-minute walk. Grocery store half mile away. Room wasnt super clean. Needed better vacuuming. Pillows flat as hell. Good for the money. Located in industrial area"
