Budapest hotellit District I - Várkerület

Plussat: This hotel is the perfect little gem on the castle district. Modern and creative decor, upscale features, excellent staff and the perfect location.

Plussat: Baltazar is perfection. Amazingly friendly staff, most of whom speak English (if you don't know any Hungarian like me), and the room was just gorgeous. Clean, well stocked, BEAUTIFUL rainforest shower, and the most comfortable bed. The decor is quirky/cool in a really beautiful, almost classic way. I'm obsessed with this place. Also, the restaurant is glorious, and you can't beat the Castle District for gorgeous walking experiences. DEFINITELY stay here. You won't regret it.

Miinukset: I liked everything. No, I loved everything. There was literally nothing I didn't love.

Plussat: The location is excellent, in the heart of the historic district. The food was amazing. The staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke fluent English. The rooms were beautifully designed, clean and cozy. We especially liked the shower and the lights system. We arrived in the middle of a heat wave (38 degrees Celsius, about 102 Fahrenheit). The air conditioner worked without problems.

Plussat: Excellent food and very professional staff.

Miinukset: Windows with view in interior court.

Plussat: The room is very cozy and private with good lighting and smell

Miinukset: The breakfast needs to be more variable

Plussat: Friendly, very helpful hotel staff, location very close to citadel and tram stop

Plussat: The location was excellent at a reasonable price. The reception staff did an excellent job of referring me to nearby restaurants, and then helping me to hire a car for a few days.

Plussat: The hotel staff were very helpful, efficient and friendly. The hotel is very conveniently located in a quiet area. Excellent value.

Plussat: very pleasant hotel staff, good location, 10 min to the castle, 15 min to downtown

Miinukset: no public rooms, small restaurant, small bathroom

Plussat: Hotelli oli sijainniltaan ihan paras mahdollinen. Kävelymatkan päässä nähtävyyksistä ja keskustasta, mutta silti rauhallisella alueella. Aamupalalla pöytiintarjoilu ja muutenkin ystävällinen henkilökunta!!

Plussat: nice location 10 minutes from center, clean and good rooms, friendly staff

Plussat: The place is clean, the hotel staff is very nice, and the breakfast is good. The position is excellent.

Plussat: The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided early check in given my early arrival. There was also free internet access. All the rooms were non smoking which is great. Good location on the Buda side near Elizabeth bridge. Breakfast was included and they offered and provided a breakfast to go given my early flight out was going to cause me to miss the breakfast hours - much appreciated

Miinukset: Washroom was small and could have benefitted from more lighting.

Plussat: The hotel staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Hotel very clean, very good breakfast, room spotless. Transport is very efficient and very close. We will surely return.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast included; great location; early check in accommodated

Miinukset: Bathroom was a little small

Plussat: The location is spectacular if you want access to the castle. If you are good with the transit system then a bus stop is just around the corner. There is a little Android based phone that is a nice touch, but it needs some work to be a guide for the city. That said, it is a nice security touch for having a local phone and data for mapping. Android is not my thing so it was not as intuitive to me. The staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: The carpets were dirty, the bedding was well worn and the towels were the same. Do not be confused by dirty in that you will not find garbage all around the place, it was very clean in that regard. The rooms are just very well worn and it is time to replace some of the materials. The shower has a glass wall that does not do well enough of a job to keep water from reaching the floor in quantity. It was also odd that there was no tissue paper. Some communications work could be improved on. We arrived for a two night stay and I had picked the hotel because it had a well rated restaurant attached. The first night we went for dinner there. On the second day we went out and had a long day of seeing the sights with the plan to chill there in the restaurant. When we arrived there was a notice that the restaurant was closed for a private function. We could have ordered room service, but the room is not conducive to eating and frankly did not feel clean enough. We should have been told when we checked in and then we could have gotten something before coming back to the hotel.

Plussat: I drive through Budapest and stay overnight once or twice a year. Previously, it's always been either one of the Hiltons (I trust the brand) and I was happy enough with both. However, I wanted to try something new and, having read excellent reviews of Hotel Castle Garden, decided to give it a try. Well, not just I was not disappointed, but indeed the hotel exceeded my expectations. I found it to be even better than Hiltons, while it cost me less. I paid for a standard room, but was put in a room with a huge deck , which was a free bonus. Overall, it was exceptional value. My wife also beleives the hotel is very elegant. It's a pity we did not get a chance to try their restaurant for dinner, but breakfast there was very good.

Miinukset: The only - minor! - inconvenience that comes to mind is how lighting is set up in the bathroom, which made a little difficult for me to shave. Not that there was not enough light by the mirror, just the light coming from behind my back was even stronger, thus creating shadows.

Plussat: The rooms were very clean and exceptionally warm. The walls were thick - so you got a good nights sleep - even if the TV was on in the room next to you, you would not hear it. (I know as my father was in the room next to mine and I could not hear the TV - v imp to me as I am a light sleeper)

Miinukset: It might not be a good location for older people who might struggle going up and down the hill to get a tram/tube. If however you are using taxi's this would not be a problem - and taxi's are very cheap and the journey would only be a short one - there are also busses close by.

Plussat: good location and breakfast

Plussat: big balkon with beautiful view, very comfty bed, everything was perfect

Plussat: Very nicely located close to the upper castle area within walking distance. Dinner in hotel restaurant was not as special as

Miinukset: Wall with blakc spots from suitcases or similar could need some paintings in two rooms we saw, strange cleaning detergent smell in two rooms, one room clearly had a strong smoker smell, addtional payment for sauna, for parking and in particular fo a capoccino instead of strange tasting coffee should be included in the price, dinner in hotel restaurant was not as special as announced and one could expect.

Plussat: Hyvä ravintola, myös kohtuuhintainen ja hotellin asukkaille 20 prosentin alennus aterioista. Viihtyisä terassi. Rauhallinen sijainti.

Miinukset: Ei erityistä.

Plussat: Rauhallinen sijainti aivan linnan vierellä.Talvialennus tuntuva.Tasokkaat,tosin melko pienet huoneet.Todella tasokas keittiö.. H

Miinukset: yhteiset oleskelutilat puuttuvat,ravintola pieni,mutta tasokas- siksi usein yksityistilaisuuksia.Henkilökunnan kieli- ja palvelutaso ei vastaa täysinhotellin varustuksellista tasoa.

Plussat: henkilökunta todella ystävällistä,kaikki toimi erinomaisesti.Rauhallinen!

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Loistava sijainti rauhallisella alueella, kuitenkin metro kävelymatkan päässä. Viihtyisä ja tasokas hotelli lähellä Budan linnaa.

Plussat: the location to "buda"is excellent .the room big and with all facilities even a kettle to cofey or tea .the staff very friendly. the hotel restorant is excellent

Miinukset: the back side facing the city is a leetle beat noisy

Plussat: Based under the Buda Castle with an easy 2 - 3 minute walk to this fantastic monument.

Miinukset: The hotel service from the staff was generally poor. You always felt as if they were doing things slightly begrudgingly - perhaps a hang over from the Communist past ? On one occasion the room was not made up because the hotel "had a lot of guests departing which was the cleaning staffs main focus" and on arrival, due to a leak which had damaged some rooms we were moved without notice to another hotel for one night. Would recommend this hotel purely for the location.

Plussat: It is a perfect hotel. Good brekfast. Comfortable room.

Plussat: The building from outside and lobby looked very nice, but the room was totally opposite.

Miinukset: I have stayed in a different Mercure hotel in the past and I was very happy. This hotel however was a total disappointment. The room look like it has not been upgrade in 10-15 years. The carped in the room was extremely dirty, old and faded.

Plussat: Service,parking and location. The post office near by, train station near by, super market near by, good restaurants are all over near by, not too far from all the attraction.

Miinukset: Rooms are small. At least one water bottle should be supply once a day stay. If the hotel rating 4 star hotel then it should be.

Plussat: nice convenient place

Miinukset: poor English speaking personel

Plussat: Helpful front desk staff

Miinukset: Location, location, location

Plussat: Sijainti eli oli lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä metroasemalta sekä kohtuullisen kävelymatkan päässä Budapestin linnasta kunhan osasi löytää sinne vievät portaat.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella olisi saanut olla enemmän vihanneksia. Paistettu pekoni sekä paistetut munat ja aamupuuro puuttuivat kokonaan.

Plussat: Great location next to the south railway station, very easy to reach by car and metro. Typical middle class hotel for tourists and business travellers alike. Rooms are clean and comfortable with all the basic luxuries. // Gute Lage gegenüber dem Südbahnhof, mit Auto oder U-Bahn sehr einfach zu erreichen. Normales Mittelklassenhotel für Touristen sowie Geschäftsreisende. Zimmer sind sauber und gut ausgestattet.

Plussat: Very quiet pleasant room with outlook over the old town.Convenient location within walking distance to city.

Plussat: Location near to transport facilities. New hotel infrastructure. Very good price.

Plussat: hotellissa oli hyvä palvelu ja hyväruoka, aamupala 16€ mielestäni aika kova hinta (kannattaa harkita syökö aamupalaa). Hotellilta hyvät yhteydet (metro ja ratikka) keskustaan .

Miinukset: Ilmastointi ei toiminut kunnolla helteillä.

Plussat: Kaikki oli ok - erityisesti henkilökunta ansaitsee erityiset kiitokset. Tuhkapilvi lyhensi kahden viikon lomaamme hieman. Saimme haluamamme hyvityksen menetyksestä!

Miinukset: Ei - kaikki ok

Plussat: Vastaanoton virkailijat olivat ystävällisiä ja auttavaisia. Aamupala oli hyvä, monipuolinen.Sijainti melko hyvä.

Miinukset: Aiheettomia palohälytyksiä, jotka pelottivat. Kokolattiamatto teki huoneilmasta tunkkaisen.

Plussat: Clean room (we stayed on the executive floor - I don't know if that would make a difference). Helpful staff. Very good location (only three minute walk from the metro). The tram also passes right in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: The reception called me at 1:200 am!!! and it was a mistake....

Plussat: Good business class hotel - I was looking for a temporary office for a day!

Plussat: Heated bathroom floor. Historical location. Quiet. Spacious rooms. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: Breakfast was limited. Wireless was weak in room 17. No ability to shower, large tub with hand held shower extension but no curtain, difficult to not spray the entire room.

Plussat: spacious room with classic furnitures, complimentary water and wine

Miinukset: No elevator

Plussat: The fact that the hotel room had a kitchenette allowing us to return to the hotel at lunch time to make sandwiches and have a rest before continuing with sightseeing and also being able to make a hot drink before going to bed. The location was simply superb - convenient for exploring Budapest with good transport links but in a virtually pedestrianised area so there was no traffic noise. A wonderful calm oasis for a city break. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: The meal in the hotel restaurant was excellent but took a long time to arrive but they were very busy! The breakfast menu was not as varied as expected for a five star hotel but if you had a special request the staff obliged. The hotel decor was tasteful and elegant but a comfy sofa to relax upon would have been welcome.

Plussat: Todella hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Hyvä sijainti Linnavuorella mistä hienot maisemat Pestin suuntaan.Tilavat kauniisti sisutetut huoneet.

Miinukset: Check-out oli hidasta. Virkailija ei osannut kovin hyvin atk-järjestelmää.

Plussat: Spacious rooms, nice location

Miinukset: Breakfast was not up to five star standards

Plussat: The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious, clean and luxurious. The included breakfast was one of the better we had during our 4 week holiday throughout Europe. We also appreciated that the hotel provided free internet. The hotel was in a lovely area, close to many historical sites and attractions.

Miinukset: The shower head would have been more convenient for us had it been wall mounted. A further area for development would be to install wireless internet, rather than cable.

Plussat: All things werw excellent especialy enterier and stuff

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Perfect stay on Budapest's castle mountain. Excellent location, beautifully furnitured huge roomes, nice and very helpful personal, freshly made breakfast

Plussat: Beautiful hotel!!!

Plussat: It's the second time we've stayed there in a short while. As we went to Croatia by car, we stopped in Budapest going and coming back. After the first experience in the hotel, we wanted to return. We booked a larger suite (silver) and when we got there they upgraded us to a gold suite free of charge. That's an upgrade from a 200 euro room to a 500 euro room. I give it an A+ on all counts. Excellent

Plussat: We liked everything. A true 5 star experience. Extremely clean rooms, spacios, designer body lotions and shampoo in the bathroom, location is right in the old city, next to a castle, free parking - which is something rare in Budapest, the staff were extremely accomodating and the restaurant was a palate's delight. Breakfast was included - a la carte ...

Miinukset: The only thing I can think could be improved is... Maybe add bath robes. They were missing for some reason...

Plussat: The surrounding

Miinukset: I would suggest that the owners use the interior court as part of the restaurant. To have breakfast there would be wonderful !
