Hotel Budapest

A disappointing experience. Very old-fashioned hotel, with old furniture, a bathroom that leaks, and heating that beats all night. Poor and slow serving at the breakfast buffet: exposed food quickly disappears and is often not supplemented.

Hotel is good, just as location and price. The staff is really very nice and supportive. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are clean, small. The spa center did not work during our stay, but everything else is good.

Checkin time is taking ages (45min for them to "find a clean room" for me). As I was waiting, a grown man was playing a computer game, a teenager was walking around half-naked, and a bus was parked outside, pointing to the hotel catering to Polish tourists on a budget. The hotel either has a horrible computer system or no manager to speak of. 4 staff members were at the reception; only one could be seen actually working. By the way - Danubius, a hotel group behind some of the not-so-good Budapest hotels, is no longer managing this one. The hotel is located on the left bank of Danube where few hotels are. No need to stay here unless you have no other options.

Awful experience waiting for elevator for 20 minutes every single time. Staff is used to it and so doesn't even fake sympathy when you ask if they're gonna deal with it. This hotel is cheap but for it you get a really awful experience. I would have given it a 0 if I could.
