A Hotel in Budapest with a Funky Decor

Advantages: Good location, near to main attractions, excellent retro decor
Disadvantages: Supercilious staff and expensive ale

...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 ...
...in purple pots with the Mercure sign embellished on the front. The last time I stayed in a Mercure Hotel was years ago in the south of France and I didn't remember it looking as grand as this one but then this hotel has just been renovated. The staff on reception were smartly dressed and greeted us with a smile. The young man who took our details could speak very good English and although he was friendly there was an air of cockiness about him which ...

Review of Mercure Budapest City Center Hotel, Budapest

Nice enviroment, affordable price!

Advantages: next door to one of budapest biggest train station, subway is there and lots of buses stop there
Disadvantages: Not the most beatiful part of Budapest

...they always stayed in this Hotel as it is good value for what you get. It is in a quite and nice enviroment, with easy access to all famous historian places in Budapest. Keleti palyaudvar (East train station) is just a door step away, so if you feel like going for a weekend to some other parts of Hungary you can easily take the train. Also the tube is just on the corner, which will give you great access to city centre and all the beatiful things ...

Review of Hotel Baross, Budapest

Everything you need at a reasonable price

Advantages: Clean and economical
Disadvantages: Slightly away from the centre and the river

...spend 3 nights in the Hotel Budapest. I thought this was very reasonable, and particularly so when I reached the hotel, which is located on the Buda side of the city. One thing to remember is that most people who provide any sort of service for you will expect some sort of tip. The hotel reception was welcoming and helpful (didn’t feel the need to tip here) and a porter was dispatched to carry my daughter’s and my luggage and to escort us up to ...
...and trams. Alternatively,directly opposite the hotel is a train station and a tram stop. A one or three day roaming ticket will permit you to travel anywhere in the city by train, tram or bus. Look out for the little kiosks that sell these tickets. Also near Mostzka tér are lots of shops, two very large modern shopping malls (lots of cups of tea on sale here!) and a local market selling a wide range of products. ...

Review of Hotel Budapest, Budapest

Stylish and Well located

Advantages: Friendly staff, good location
Disadvantages: Building works can be off putting initially

The Zara Boutique Hotel 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 ...
...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 was excellent for our 3 day trip and we couldn't have asked for better. We managed to get a very good rate of 115 euros ...

Review of Zara Boutique Hotel

A nice budget hotel

Advantages: good location, cheap, clean
Disadvantages: no luxury whatsoever

I stayed in this hotel of February of this year and it wasn't all that bad. I wouldn't have choosen it if i was looking for anything remotely like a bit of luxury as it is very far from it. But if you are having a city break and just want somewhere to crash it is perfect. The rooms are very simple and most have a balcony, although it isn't really somewhere you would want to sip a G and T and admire the view. as the hotel is surrounded by Soviet-Style ...
...the somewhat small rooms. Although they may be small thought the rooms are very clean and in good condition. The bathroom is well equipped and the additon of thermostat controlled heating is very welcomed in the Hungarian winter. The hotel overall is adequate but nothing to make a song and dance about. There's quite a poor gift shop and the receptions staff don't speak very good english, but it's good enough to be able to check in. Breakfast was ...
