Advantages: Good location, near to main attractions, excellent retro decor Disadvantages: Supercilious staff and expensive ale
On my last trip to Budapest I was very lucky to choose a hotel within walking distance of the centre and quite a few of the main attractions. The Mercure Budapest was formerly known as The Taverna and is located about two minutes walk away from the bank of the River Danube. We arrived by taxi from the airport which is roughly about 17 kilometres and as I paid the taxi driver I remember thinking that I really liked the fact that the front entrance which is quite grand was on a main road with tourists milling around. I much prefer this than being stuck away down a dark alleyway.
I was impressed with the front entrance of the hotel with its glass windows shining through to the myriad of lights inside and beautifully manicured conifers sitting upright in purple pots with the Mercure sign embellished on the front. The last time I stayed in ...
Advantages: Friendly staff, good location Disadvantages: Building works can be off putting initially
The ZaraBoutiqueHotel is located in Downtown Budapest onSo utca. It's a smart hotel although there are some building works going on at that end of the town at the moment so it can look a little run down at first site. We had an initial panic when we could here loud cutters outside our window when we got to our room but all work stopped at a sensible 5/6pm and didn't start up again until around 9/10am.
The Lobby is very airy and inviting and the reception staff were very amiable. Our room was a decent size (room 107) with a nice bathroom and very large walk in shower (no bath). The shower was a welcome relief at the end of a long day slogging round Budapest!
The Hotel is located pretty much at the bottom end of Vaci utca, the main shopping street that cuts through Budapest, and its also 1 road away from the Danube. The location ...
Advantages: Good city centre location, great froiendly staff Disadvantages: small rooms, poor showers.
the hot water also took five minutes to reach peak heat, also made the whole exercise very confusing.
This design masterpiece, or more correctly catastrophe, probably won accolades for a spotty faced young student with a huge technology grant thrown in, but it isn't in the real world. Please can't hotels go back to the practical world of large clearly marked handles or taps.?
4.Noise from next door. The rooms were badly soundproofed. Next door's TV was on full all afternoon until 2000. A bit like other people's getto blasters on the beach, did I really need to hear the Hungarian news broadcast? No I didn't. I reciprocated the favour by turning my TV on full at 0600 while I went for breakfast. Bad.
And finally the good features
.
As I have already said, the location was pretty good on the whole with access to all sorts of boutiques ...
