Popular Budapest 4-star Hotels

The location of this hotel was perfect for us, slightly removed from the rest of the big hotels but a very short walk to the river. The front desk staff was first rate service, dealt with a late checkin very well and were very helpful on checkout. The breakfast was generally very good, staff could get a bit flustered during busy times but there is a guide to busy and quiet times in the room so a good idea to keep that in mind. The bar staff could be a little frosty but service became much better when they realised (when we asked to pay) that we were staying ay the hotel. The room was very nice, a good size all the usual little things, plus chocolate! The robes provided were a bit tatty, but still functional. Certainly somewhere I would stay again.

It's located in a quiet street, 10-15 mins walk to St Stephen's Basilica, Parliament, river banks, Liberty Square etc, and accessible to all major.public transport. Services are good and staff are very friendly and helpful, WiFi signal is pretty strong in most areas. The room is a bit small with this price but in this tourist location I think it is acceptable.

I would be happy to provide an excellent review for Continental Hotel in Budapest. My experience at the hotel was fantastic. The room was tidy and clean, and the location was excellent, close to the city center and the great synagogue. The pool and sauna were also great amenities. Most importantly, I would like to give a special thanks to the excellent service provided by the hotel staff, who was extremely helpful during my stay. Overall, I highly recommend the Continental Hotel for anyone visiting Budapest.

We stayed in this hotel for one week. First of all the worker in reception made a stupid comment how my boyfried looked in his passport.. Is it your job to comment how the quests look like? So rude. When we booked our room we had seperate beds because I am very light sleeper.. then we needed one extra night and they chanced the room type without even asking what kind of bed/beds we want.. So of course we got double bed which was really narrow! If you want to sleep well I recommend to take two single beds! I didn't sleep well at all during this whole week. Also the pillows were awful so I had to use towel as a pillow every night. Our room was in 6th floor and it was facing towards courtyard so at least it was quiet. Some of the cleaners didn't wish good morning and one of the cleaners had phone on her hand and she was listening music around 9am.. I mean really? I don't know how well they are suppose to clean the rooms but I think only thing got done was that they only changed the towels every day. Good things: Air conditioner worked really well! There was minifridge which is one of the things I check when I look for a hotel. We liked the seperate wc, you don't see that in hotels anymore that much. There were some really good restaurants nearby, lots of shops and metro station. Breakfast was also good and there was enough space to eat every morning. I wish there would have been more something fresh to eat, I think there were way too much different kind of pastries. I would probably stay in other hotel if I come back to Budapest. Room was nothing like in those pictures and that comment in reception was not nice at all.

We have been staying in this hotel already many times. Dog friendly, good gym, nice breakfast and very helpful staff. The hotel has everything people are looking for during their city trip. We will always go back. Opposite the hotel is a good restaurant Alma and Korte typical Hungarian cuisine and good quality. I would recommend this hotel to everybody

Hospitality at this hotel is pretty much non-existent, especially for what I'd expect of a Novotel. It starts with having no doorman. You'll see this a few times in others comments. They give you one water bottle in your room. Don't expect them to replace it throughout your stay though. That'd be a lot to ask. Room service? I'm not sure if they cleaned the rooms during our stay. They did make the beds. That's about all. When I asked where I might find water, I was rudely directed to purchase a bottle from the restaurant. This is unheard of to me. Filtered water should always be freely provided. The breakfast was also quite mediocre. Huge lineup for coffee, no brewed coffee, which would be quicker to serve. Staff not around. For the price, the breakfast is certainly not worth it. Not a great experience. I won't be returning.

The hotel is very beautiful and modern and the staff very welcoming. not knowing the city, they do not hesitate to advise me on places to visit and explain to me how to get around with public transport. The room was very comfortable and modern corresponding to all my expectations. The only small negative point that I could cite is the restricted opening hours of the restaurant and the bar. Taking into account the neighborhood (8th arrondissement), I would have preferred to eat at the hotel than to have to go out or order. In summary, a great stay and can't wait to come back!

The location is perfect, right and one of the shopping streets where you can walk to a lot of the attractions. The hotel has 2 exits where one is open 24/7 where the reception is and where you can be dropped off by taxi. The other is on the shopping street, closing at 22.00 because it is also where the hotel restaurant Winestone is located. The restaurant has a good variety of food and very friendly and diligent staff which goes for the whole hotel. The breakfast is not served in the restaurant, but on the 2. floor. It has eggs, bacon, bread, cheese, ham, cereal, yoghurt, small pancakes, fruit, a little bit of vegetables. Could have liked the hot food to be hot, it was seldom the case. The room was nice with safety deposit box, coffee/tea, 1 bottle of water each day, mini bar and shampoo + shower gel and hair dryer. The room was cleaned spotless every day! The room becomes a bit hot and it helps to open the window. Right now there is construction going on, so you don't want the window open while they work. In the ground floor there is a fitness room with a good variety of equipment. The front desk staff is very helpful. We used the cleaning service for having some shirts ironed. That worked very well.

What a wonderful hotel. It is situated in a great location close to most of the historical sites in Budapest. The room was large with a sitting area, a safe, and a very functional bathroom. The hotel staff was very friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help and answer our questions. They also gave us to complimentary bottles of wine and two drink cards good at the establishment next door. The buffet breakfast was excellent, and the breakfast room was large and spacious. But the best part was how quiet our room was. We were able to get plenty of sleep at night to give us the energy we needed to sightsee all day. This hotel tops our list, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. The trams outside are non stop and even with ear plugs you can still hear them rattling along. The lobby area of each floor is set out in a big circle with the rooms round the outside and a hole in each floor all the way to the top so the noise of guests even from different floors carries like mad. On our final night a party came in late and were making so much noise running around and slamming doors that we couldn’t sleep and had to phone down to reception to ask them to send someone to shut them up. (Please don’t think I’m usually ‘that person’ as I’m really not!) The maids also started very early and are not in the least bit quiet….at times it felt like they were in the room with us. It’s a shame as the hotel is clean and the rooms are really nice and big. Powerful shower and comfy bed (tho lack of pillows meant we had to use the sofa cushions!) About a 20 minute walk from the ‘centre’ area - the area the hotel is in is pretty grubby but there’s a Tesco across the road for snacks and a metro station also very close. About a 20 minute walk from Astoria stop if you’re getting a bus from the airport. Very limited bar, no restaurant for anything other than breakfast, and no drinks making facilities in the room. I wouldn’t give the hotel 4 stars to be honest. The reception staff and breakfast staff were lovely, couldn’t fault them at all. Just a shame about the racket, by the end of the weekend we were dead on our feet, partly due to all the walking you usually do on a city break but mainly due to the lack of sleep! Because of this, I 100% would not stay here again and couldn’t recommend it to anyone who values a decent nights sleep.
