Budapest hotellit District XI - Újbuda

Plussat: Easy location to get into the main part of town on the tram plus metro was 10 minute walk away. We had a car which we were able to park on-site. Lovely veranda and garden seating.

Miinukset: Beds were a little hard for our liking

Plussat: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: Cons - non courteous staff, very small room, very small bathroom, very less options in breakfast, no swimming pool as mentioned in some of the reviews, dull streets outside at night. Room was very small so we asked them to change the room straight away but they said there is no room. Next day we saw an empty room and asked them again but they denied again. Generally hotel staff tells us about the city while check in but there was nothing like this at this place. There is no restraunt/grocery shop around the hotel. I would say that couples specially should avoid this hotel.

Plussat: First of all great value for money. Good location not far from center. An authentic old house with a great spirit. Big comfortable rooms with equipment corresponding to the age of the building and the price...Nice surprise was an AC which I would not expect.. Space for improvement is definitely the breakfast...I was terribly missing at least basic fruit or vegetable available to all without extra asking... also the requested extra bed was actually no bed, just a 180cm mattress on the ground.

Miinukset: .. Space for improvement is definitely the breakfast...I was terribly missing at least basic fruit or vegetable available to all without extra asking... also the requested extra bed was actually no bed, just a 180cm mattress on the ground. While travelling with a small baby we were missing at least a small fridge to store our food or keep drinks cold in hot days.

Plussat: Bad place. Bad hosts.

Miinukset: Lacked all hygiene factors: no hospitality, no facilities, unclean and bad location. Many things: 1. The lack of hospitality was the worst part. The staff didn’t smile or asked even once if we wanted anything or if we were comfortable. They didn’t offer us any water or even let us sit down before we filled up their booking forms. They looked like angry school principals walking in and out with a stern look - very scary. 2. No facilities, not even bathing soap in the bathroom. When I asked for bathing soap/gel the staff said “This is not a five star hotel.” Shocking reply to guests. 3. Here comes the best part. Breakfast is only from 7.30 to 9am. 9 am? Is this a school ?? Which also meant we had to vacate the table by sharp 9am - we were not allowed to even sit around after filling our plate post 9am. And it was all cold breakfast it wasn’t even fresh hot breakfast which they had to cook. I’ve never seen such policies followed anywhere. They literally told us to “Get up and leave” because breakfast time is over !!!! They screamed at us, made us get up just to clean their table and sit down !! We later asked can we get some plain bread to carry for the kids but she said NO! even though there was loads of it in the kitchen. When I pointed out to the girl that she is rude, she screamed at me. Worst choice ever. These people need a major lesson in how to welcome guests and what hospitality business is about. 4. The breakfast served was very basic. Which is manageable but they were storing left overs in the fridge - cut veggies/ open juices - and serving the next day. unacceptable. 5. Moreover the place was not very clean and looked like it had never been vacuumed or dusted. Lacks maintenance. 5. No help / assistance provided in terms of city guide - where to go, how to go, public transport etc - there was no one to help or guide us. So this is not a five star hotel, and not even a warm homestay - looks like a cheap hostel run by angry people.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli ihan hyvä, kaikki istuivat saman pöydän ääreen. Vaihtelevuutta olisi saanut olla; joka aamu samat tarjottavat, mikään ei vaihdellut.

Miinukset: Ei mitään tarjottavaa, yhteistä tkemistä tarjolla.

Plussat: It was sparkling clean. It's near the tram station and you have plenty of stores next to the location. You could also eat near the location, a few good restaurants around.

Miinukset: The internet didn't always work. The entrance door had cracks in it, so everybody could hear what you spoke. The breakfast it's a joke, as you get every single day the same 'menu', so 6 slices of ham, 6 slices of salami, 6 slices of cheese and 1 small slice of tomato, 1 cucumber and 1 pepper for 2 persons. The parking space does not exist, as they only have 2 really small places and the rest of the guests need to park on the street, where at least it's free.

Plussat: Outside terrace.

Miinukset: Far from center.....5km Far from metro.......2km Breakfast poor No AC (they said that they will turn it on only when outside will be over 25°!!!! NoTV No refrigerator And itsy bitsy soap in the bathroom The extra bed was a mattress throwed on the floor....(so....good night booking com. Hope you sleep well)

Plussat: Quiet neighbourhood, clean towels every day, tasty breakfast.

Miinukset: As we where leaving very early in the morning, the staff promised to prepare some sandwiches and leave them in the fridge. We were quite disappointed not to find them.

Plussat: Everything was good, very nice helpful and friendly staff and owner. Breakfast was also nice. Garden and balcony are amazing.

Plussat: It was an amazing experience to stay at that hotel. The staff was so nice, friendly, welcoming and did their best to help you. The room is comfortable, pleasant and very clean. In a green and quiet location, and still a walking distance from the center and the Danube. VERY RECOMMENDED!

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällinen. Aamupala oli monipuolinen.

Miinukset: Ei autopaikkaa. Huonetta ei voinut pimentää.

Plussat: The breakfast was as described by the others. The location is OK, close to the tram 17 and 61. The neighborhood is OK, a lot of trees and parks nearby.

Miinukset: We searched for a room for 2 adults and 2 kids (6 and 8) and we ended with a room with one double bed and a mattress on the floor. We didn't find it comfortable and we expected to receive a discount for receiving a 3 persons room instead of the 4 persons room we searched for. Later we say in their policies they say that kids until 10 stay free of charge, but if this is your case you'd better search for another option where kids have their own bad. For sure we will not come back to this place.

Plussat: Ideal Location for Trams which link to Metro and Rail. In a quietish area with access to local shops and restaurants.

Miinukset: Somewhat tired and attic room where we stayed quite spartan. Breakfast ok for a few days but would become monotonous after a while. Would recommend but only for a short visit.

Plussat: The hotel is clean, nice, a bit old-fashioned. However, it's value for money experience. The thing that I did not like much - was a remote location from all the city sites, it took me a train and a metro ride to get anywhere.

Plussat: The pension is in a relatively quiet neighborhood, with two trams you can get easily to downtown Pest. Free parking available.

Miinukset: Keep in mind that rooms are smallish, with no TV.

Plussat: Friendly easy to move around safe

Miinukset: no

Plussat: I liked pretty much everything, room, food, service.

Miinukset: Well a pleasant lady told me that I can pay by a credit card or cash and cash amount would be lower. I loved this since this is normal in Canada where I lived for 13 years and people can usually save up to GST & PST which is around 15% but she didn't know what price we reserved our hotel for (€60/night for 2 nights) and she said that it would be €60 cash and there was obviously no discount there.

Plussat: family pension, lovely, very clean, spacious room, excellent service, quaiet place,

Miinukset: rather far from the centrum

Plussat: free parking on the street, close to centre

Miinukset: limited breakfast; air condition doesn´t working, noisy room

Plussat: Nice hotel and spa. Good location

Miinukset: Room not available 3pm which was quite late.

Miinukset: Sänky oli jo aikansa palvellut.

Plussat: Huoneen parvekkeelta todella upea näkymä sillalle ja patsaalle kukkulalle. Aamiainen oli runsas ja kylpylä miellyttävä. Sijainti myös loistava.

Miinukset: Huoneen ilmastointilaite oli erittäin äänekäs, korvatulpat oli oltava nukkuessa, ja ilman laitetta oli sietämättömän kuuma. Lisäksi se nostatti pölyä kokolattiamatosta. Huoneeseen ei tuotu vettä vaan se piti hakea itse alakerroksen baarista.

Plussat: Location. Hotel flair old majestic

Miinukset: Run down. Bathroom small. Bad smell Walls need painting. Overall from the outside attractive but inside disappointed

Plussat: Great location and link to the Gellert Bath.

Miinukset: The room was quite dated and dark. The TV didn't work and the wifi was very flaky.

Miinukset: Room 448 was so little and dirty. The bed was very hard and there was no air cond. The Windows was in very bad shape. I am very dissapointed !

Plussat: Excellent location and outstanding breakfast, comfortable bed, easy access to Gellert bath with a discount.

Miinukset: Very old and used furniture and used, old robes. In our first floor room we had tons of ants out of nowhere when we woke up after the first night there. No iron or ironing board supplied either. Hairdryer didn't work. Check out time was meant to be at 11am but the domestic lady just walked in on us at 9:30 in the room.

Plussat: Old school Europe style and stature. effortlessly chic, unpretentious and grand... I felt like a Instagram Wes Anderson "junkie". ditto the thermal baths interior and locations surrounding. The breakfast was simply the best I have ever come across in a hotel. The bacon was cooked to perfection, a vast selection of cold meats and cheese, fresh fruit breads and pastries. The front desk and reception area is alive and welcoming so when one enters the foyer afer a day out and about, it feels like home intimate and cosy. I ran the Budapest half Marathon and the hotel provided us runners with breakfast packs and coffee in the foyer before the race, this was an aboslute delight.

Miinukset: Hungarians in the service industry have a unique way of communicating. almost as if impatient and irritable and not overtly friendly. I got used to it after a while, but I wonder whether other toutists in Hungary have the same impression, It is not something particular to the Gellert, just thought I'd mention it. sensitive mousy soulss might not cope well.

Plussat: Great breakfast, great location, pleasant staff

Miinukset: The bathroom

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta

Miinukset: Koki hotelli ison remontin tarpeessa. Osa hotellista niin vanhaa, että vaikutti jo epäsiistiltä.

Plussat: First impression on arrival was a walk into history. Our room was as per the pictures. The longer we stayed the more we appreciated our surroundings. Now we don’t want to leave. Our meals in the main dining room and brasserie were very elegant and value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed the live music played by the chamber orchestra while dining. It is a pity guests at the hotel choose to eat elsewhere. If you stay at the Gellert you should really take in the ambiance of elegant dining. Thank you to the staff who are all so friendly and attentative.

Miinukset: Our pillows

Plussat: Building.

Miinukset: Room.

Plussat: Staff were super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the wellness center.

Miinukset: Room was bit noisy.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent. The swimming pool and the spa were clean. More than enough space in the room.

Miinukset: If you want to visit tourist attractions, the location is not good. You need to take at least two buses to the city center.

Plussat: Swimming pool area

Plussat: Mukava henkilökunta,siisti monipuolinen hotelli:))

Miinukset: Joku henkilökunnasta ei osannut niin paljon englantia että olisi pystynyt palvelemaan

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff. Food in a restaurant was good and tasty but too expensive for such a place

Miinukset: OVERPRICED!!! Smelly room. Squeaking doors. Broken windows. Air conditioning was working not satisfactory. Everything was over expansive. SPA wasn’t working fully. Half of the saunas were closed. They also charging 15€ per pet per night. Absolutely disgusting. Not coming back again and not recommending to anyone !

Miinukset: The worst Breakfast in Budapest

Miinukset: Luteita hotellihuoneessa.. keilarata rikki. 1 Hissi ei toiminut koko viikkona. Ei ole ilmastointia vaikka mainostettiin ym. En suosittele!

Plussat: - Spacios room - Junior Suite - Nice bathroom, but nowhere to hang the towels (where can 3 persons do that in the room?) - Breakfast was very good

Miinukset: I stayed 5 days and I payed the parking too and here is my experience. - room not clean. The room was looking like nobody stayed for months, and the hotel just clean it up in a hurry before. A lots of spiderwebs were present and we had to call the cleaning lady. - windows not clean for months. - there is no mesh at the window and a lot of bugs entered in the room, even a small lizard. We tried to catch it without success. I found few cockroaches too by the way. I am not scarred about none of them, but my wife.. Come on.. for that price you can buy some meshes and you still remain with some money. Our little girl was bitten by something during one night and she had a lot of red dots on her skin. We had to contact the medic and went to the farmacy for medicins for her. - I saw spider webs on the corridor too. They were never clean during our stay. - location - far from anything. You need a car - parking - the barrier never work and I always had to call for that. - price / value (The hotel can contact me for details and photos)

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, spa and fitness center. Very good WIFI.

Miinukset: The air-conditioning could only be turned on or off without adjustment. The parking system didn't work properly so I had to always ask for opening the gate manually. Overall assessment could be better if they took care of the details.

Plussat: Kind staff and cleanness

Miinukset: A bit oldish furniture and setting and possibly too close to highway to sleep properly, especially due to old windows frames which do not isolate from noise

Plussat: Good gym and wellnes facilities. Bath robes included in the price of the room.

Miinukset: No breakfast despite the fact it says "with breakfast". Dirty carpet in corners. Mediocre bar.

Plussat: Clean Housekeeping ladies very nice

Miinukset: Too long check in Long distance to town centre

Miinukset: The carbet not clean

Plussat: Breakfast was great

Miinukset: A pity air conditioner did not work in the room

Plussat: Old school style but clean and has a good mood

Miinukset: Walls are not sound proof

Plussat: The Breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: The aircondition is too noisy in the room. Bathrooms batery is old, is not easy to adjust it. Ventilation in the bathroom is not working.

Plussat: Ilmastointilaite huoneessa kälyinen mutta toimi.

Miinukset: Ahdas, outo aamiaishuone, kahviautomaatit.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, room very spacious. The hotel itself had an old-school feeling in a good way. There was an ironing room on my floor, that I found very convenient to use.

Miinukset: Location was a bit far off things, but well connected with public transport.

Plussat: - Location of the hotel is fine - It is easy to park a car for free near the building - Staff are kind and professional - Realy tasty dishes in the lobby bar. "Burger from the chef" was EXCELLENT!

Miinukset: - Rooms are worst that looks on the picture. The furniture is old. - There is no good restaurant near the place. There are some fast-food spots, but they are closed on Monday. The lobby bar serves dishes only in the evening, so you need to go to the city center to eat.

Plussat: great breakfast, good facilities, safe parking

Miinukset: a little bit old-fashioned image but an hotel with great potential to be a very modern one

Plussat: hyvät yhteydet - siisti ja avulias henkilökunta

Miinukset: tyynyt liian pienet- vuode oli pikkusen liian kova ja vuodepeitto oli kovion raskas

Plussat: Rooms having two single beds and it’s having two singles blankets the blankets are very small. And they doesn’t have any double blankets. It’s quite not comfortable for sleeping. Breakfast is quite ok. Very less items for for vegetarians and in the non vegetarian there is no chicken and lamb. Only pork verities. Which is bad.

Plussat: I've loved everything about this hotel. Very quiet, a bit of a vintage look. In front of a nice city park and in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Impeccable service and not expensive for the 4* category. There is also a sauna and swimming pool facilities at your convenience from 7 am to 22 pm. Generous and very nice breakfast.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: It should be a 4 starts hotel but it is far from that these days. Old, old fashioned rooms, dirty furniture and walls, bathtube is with rusty spots, blackish ceiling etc. The parking gate doesn't work by the card.... Actually it is like a bad joke in the middle of Budapest, stuck in the 80's somewhere. It was probably much better before but it screams for refurbishment.

Plussat: Grate breakfast: simple but very good! Cozy and comfortable rooms. Good parking place. Grate host! Close to M1.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Great helpful staff, good clean safe location even though quite a trek from the city centre, well linked by public transport. Great that it had air con. Definitely well worth the money! Good stay.

Miinukset: Room service was not great however as we did not stay for too long, not too much of an issue

Plussat: The hotel is located near the town centre

Miinukset: The staff was rude and made us to wait the kids at 21:00 downstairs till my husband brought the change for city tax, even the booking was paid online. No air conditioner, uncomfortable beds, no ironing. Very disappointed

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: You can find plenty, free parking places on the street, in front of the hotel

Miinukset: The AC doesn't work in many of the rooms. The guy from reception told me that if I want to be sure that I have AC, I have to stay "in the penthouse room"

Plussat: The food was pretty good, we had air conditioning in both rooms as we wished, the hotel is located in a quiet area, 15 minutes from the bus station that comes from the center.

Miinukset: We didn’t like the cleaning in the rooms because we found spiders in the bethroom, spiderweb on the walls and in the corners near the bed, ladybugs flying in the evening on the ceiling. And, the most terrible thing was the smell of urine and stale air in the evening In the bathroom, even if the window was always open.

Plussat: Everything. The location, people, the view.

Miinukset: As a sugestion: some bicycles to rent from the hotel.

Plussat: Almost nothing :D The hotel was cheap but not so good

Miinukset: very very dirty

Plussat: Receptionist was very helpful and polite.

Miinukset: It was very hot and there was no air con.

Plussat: Tosi halpa Siisti kylpyhuone ja kylpyamme

Miinukset: Pari kilometriä keskusta ja julkiset noin kilometrin päässä. Huonot patjat.

Plussat: Reseption 24 hours/7 day. Jääkaapit.

Miinukset: Siivouksen taso. Aamupalalla lämpimät kylmiä, suppea. Huonot patjat. Teevedenkeitin. Kahvikalusto puutteellinen. Suihkukaappi huono.

Plussat: pretty close to the center all the rest needs a score of minus 10!!!! free parking one receptionist (man) was really friendly

Miinukset: everything! room was dirty, old even the walls were dirty. breakfast was absolutely poor and dirty, old bread, rotten fruit , no place to sit this place should not be rented! I will inform booking.com. receptionist (lady) did not take time to check me out, as she also was responsible for breakfast
