Beautiful building combining modern and old architecture, small but clean room with facilities and amenities (even a big bottle of body cream!), superb view to the river and Parliament even from bed (ask for the rooms with balcony, it's a plus!). Can't comment about breakfast because we didn't have
Great Property. I liked the room, very spacy and it has a desk. Clean and quiet too. Breakfast was nice and it's in a great location. Supermarket, metro, tram, bus directly outside the building.
Only thing that could be improved is the gym, it's mostly cardio. But you can go to ”4% Candy gym” next door, it's good and they have daypass for a reasonable price.
The hotel boasts a prime location, just about 400 meters from both the metro and bus stops. The rooms are quite small, certainly compact. Conveniently situated in Buda, it's a short distance from Fisherman's Bastion and the Castle.
The location is strategic near Keleti train station and from there, it connects to Budapest's places of interest via tram, bus, metro and taxis. It is also a hub connecting to other parts of Europe via trains. It's also walking distance to Arena mall and the many shops around Keleti Railway station.
Checking in and out was smooth with friendly staff. Room was reasonably large, clean, good air condition, strong water pressure and WiFi connection.
Breakfast was nice with breads, fruits, meats and coffee from machines.
It was unfortunately very hot in Budapest during my stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly for the first two nights, but on the last night, it completely stopped cooling. Even the AC in the common areas wasn't working either. I'm not sure what the issue was, but it made for a very difficult and uncomfortable last night's sleep. The hotel is well-located in the old town; however, it's a bit of a walk to the nearest metro station.
The location of D8 Hotel, Budapest is topnotch . It is under 5 minutes walk from the shopping areas - Fashion Street and also under 5 minutes from the Danube, it is quite central. It is situated right next to Maddame Tassauds, which made it easy to find late at night as Maddame Tassuads is well marked and noticeable and I knew to look out for D8 beside it. I can't find any flaws with the hotel, it is what you can expect from good 3* hotel, which it is. The hotel and rooms are modern which is great and once again breakfast is also what you can expect at a good 3* hotel, nothing less than that. I didn't have any issues waiting for the lift and the reception staff were good and fluent in English. Though I did not ask, but I'm sure an iron could have been provided if enquired. Be prepared for slightly small room size, however it is still manageable and the pros outweigh the cons. Toilet was well equipped and I'd rate 8/10 for cleanliness. I asked for a toothpaste the first night, the receptionist did take time to find it however, could not. The next day I tried asking again from another receptionist and she was able to get me one right away.
Carlton Hotel Buda Castle - A Location Lover's Dream!
My recent stay at the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle in Budapest was largely defined by its absolutely awesome location. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the historical heart of the city, this hotel is a fantastic choice.
Being just minutes away from both the majestic Buda Castle and the picturesque Fisherman’s Bastion was a huge plus. I particularly appreciated the convenience for early risers – those who wish to view the stunning sunrise and enjoy the area before the crowds arrive (potentially with free entrance before official opening hours) will find this hotel incredibly convenient, as it's just a short stroll away.
Furthermore, the hotel's location also allows for a pleasant walk to the viewing area across the river from the Parliament building. Seeing the illuminated Parliament at night from the opposite bank was a memorable experience, and it was easily accessible on foot from the hotel.
The room itself was cozy and comfortable, providing a welcome retreat after a day of exploring. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
However, there was one notable downside: the soundproofing could be improved. I occasionally heard noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway, which sometimes disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Overall:
Despite the minor issue with soundproofing, I would still highly recommend the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle, especially for travelers who prioritize location above all else. Its proximity to key attractions like Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion, along with the easy access to sunrise views and the Parliament panorama, makes it a truly convenient base for exploring the best of Buda. If you're a light sleeper, bringing earplugs might be a good idea, but the unbeatable location truly makes this hotel a strong contender for your Budapest stay.
The hotel was well positioned close to St Stephen’s Basilica, with all local amenities on the doorstep including a Lidl supermarket around the corner, plus restaurants and bars in short walking distance. The staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were basic and even double beds were actually two single beds together but reasonably comfortable, the rooms were also pretty compact with an open plan bathroom with a curtain. For our weekend away it was fine and for me personally I got it at a reduced price booking last minute but others paid a lot more, so for similar price I would personally prefer some of the 4 star hotels located closed by. The breakfast was included which is a bonus, and had a selection of hot/cold food/drinks, served until 10.30am, and you can order a packed breakfast, it was basic but something for everyone. Also there is scaffolding outside of the hotel, so may not be as easy to see the name for when you first arrive.
The subway and bus stops are within a 5-minute walk, so you won't have any trouble getting anywhere.
The hotel is old and dilapidated, but considering the price, it's totally acceptable.
The main advantage of this hotel is its location. It is literally next to the airport, which makes it an ideal option for travelers. A huge plus is the free shuttle service, which arrives very quickly after landing and also takes you back to the airport. This is really convenient and saves a lot of time.
As for the room, this time we stayed in a small double room. There are a few things that could be improved. The shower door was broken and didn’t close properly, so some water leaked onto the floor. There were also too few power outlets — it would be great to have more. I couldn’t switch the air conditioning to heating mode, and the room felt a bit chilly. The radiator in the bathroom didn’t work either, even when turned on to maximum, which was inconvenient because I wanted to dry some clothes. The lighting in the bathroom was quite poor. It would also be very convenient if slippers and bathrobes were provided in the room.
On the positive side, the bed was extremely comfortable, with a great mattress and soft pillows. The room was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. Despite being so close to the airport, the hotel was very quiet — we slept wonderfully. We especially appreciated the blackout curtains, which completely block out light and make the room perfectly dark.
A special compliment goes to the kitchen. We ordered room service — a burger, goulash, and cappuccino — everything was incredibly delicious, a true 10 out of 10. Breakfast was also impressive: a wide variety of dishes, from steamed and boiled to fried options. Lots of snacks and cheeses — everyone can find something to their taste.
In summary, there are some things that could be improved, but overall the hotel left a very good impression. Next time we travel through Budapest, we will stay here again.

Amazing
GGuest UserVery friendly and helpful staff. They offered us a complimentary upgrade. Great facilities at the hotel, including billiard and gym room for free. The room was spacious, the bathroom was gigantic. The toiletries they offered are from penhaligons. The breakfast was fantastic with a great variety of choices. A very exceptional experience. Will definitely come back.

Ttongtong.333I stayed at three wombats on this trip (Munich and Vienna ) and this one is the best!!! There is air conditioning inside the room!! Can’t complain!!! I visited in summer time and it’s grateful to have A/C. Besides there is a little fan every bed just like in wombat Vienna. The bath room is great, lots of space to put your stuffs, with hair dryer as well. Room is big, full size mirror is a plus. Guest kitchen is big too and three big fridges with enough space to store food. Great location easy to get to metro/ airport bus. Most importantly affordable price!! Love my stay thank you ☺️

GGuest UserReading the reviews, overall I was expecting worse. The room was a little dated but clean, the bathroom ditto. Clean sheets and towels. On the other hand, the pillows offered are really uncomfortable, the mini bar is not working and the breakfast is very poor and without a sweet proposal: I went on for three days on bread, butter and jam. The staff were friendly enough and the location was excellent for getting to the center by public transport.

WWarlie Zambales DiazHotel President Budapest exceeded all my expectations! The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was impeccable, making for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. The breakfast selection was outstanding, offering a wide variety of options that catered to all tastes, and everything I tried was delicious and fresh. The hospitality of the staff was exceptional—they were incredibly warm, accommodating, and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was perfect.
The hotel’s location is another highlight. It is within walking distance of major landmarks like The Parliament and St. Stephen’s Basilica, making it a perfect base for exploring Budapest. There are also many great restaurants and other tourist spots nearby, making it easy to enjoy the city without the hassle of long commutes. I highly recommend this hotel for its quality and convenience!

Very Good
LLEI CHI IOThe rooms were fine, but the service in the restaurant was perhaps some cultural shock for us. Only one person was set to take orders and when we wanted to place a second order, that person just ignored us however we hand signaled him. We were not sure if second order was not welcomed or if there were some other reasons. We had some problem paying with a credit card (we didn’t know that card couldn’t be used at that time) and we had to try with two other cards, but that person showed us he was not pleased by throwing the card machine down to the table.
GGuest UserThe hotel was located at some distance away from the city centre. Nevertheless, travelling to the city centre was quite convenient as we could take the tram for one stop and then the metro for four to five stops. The room was clean and was quite spacious.
MMirabdulOur recent stay at the Pullman Budapest was largely positive, though with a couple of minor hiccups. Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed by the fantastic service and the hotel's unexpected kindness in upgrading our room.
The room itself was quite stylish and comfortable, featuring a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a large, inviting bed and crisp white linens, as seen in the photo. The artistic wall mural behind the bed added a unique touch of warmth and color to the space. The bathroom, which appears to be integrated into the room's design, was modern and well-appointed with a sleek sink and ample towel storage.
However, our initial experience was marred by a blocked sink in our upgraded room, which, while frustrating, was resolved within two days. Another somewhat unusual incident occurred late one night when we requested a refill for our water bottles; we were asked to bring the bottles down to the reception for refilling, which felt a bit unconventional for a hotel of this caliber.
Despite these minor issues, the Pullman Budapest proved to be a decent hotel, offering good service and comfortable accommodations.
