Hotel berhampiran Paul Street Boys grund, Budapest

Stayed here for 2 nights, the building is located in quite a convenient area with choices of public transport. It appears to be quite a newly renovated building, it stands out to be the most well-kept building in the whole street. I booked the Classic Double Room, Balcony with breakfast. I wouldn’t say the balcony is in many ways functional, it is very narrow and it is mainly used for people who want to smoke as there is an outdoor ashtray there. The room itself is modern, well kept, and didn’t show any particular wear so far. There are several issues I found with the room, the air conditioning works quite well but it is manually operated, when I left it in ‘auto’ mode it was quite loud. In the evening I set it to low fan speed but it just created a constant quite irritating fan noise which went away when I set the fan speed to medium. I also dislike the curtains, the blackout material doesn’t reach all the way up it leaves around a 2cm gap so the room is quite light in the morning. I tend not to sleep well when the room isn’t dark. I used the coffee machine in the room, but the coffee machine doesn’t work properly, despite I pressed the “full cup” function the machine only made around 10ml of coffee despite I keep pressing the button it would not make enough coffee to drink. When I returned to the room the next day the used coffee pod is still very much in the machine when I wanted to try the machine again which isn’t ideal when the housekeeper hasn’t checked the machine. The dirty cup was changed. Breakfast is at the basement restaurant, the selection of food is quite good and it was kept refreshed during breakfast. The reception staff were polite and spoke good English. Overall, I felt the room is modern, location is not bad but I felt the overall attention to detail is somewhat lacking such as the curtains doesn’t block out the light, noisy air conditioning, and the cleaning routine not involving checking the coffee machine. I don’t necessarily not recommend it but there are a few problems.

Currently here at the moment and tbh I’m disappointed! Not like the reviews say. It’s a good 45 min walk to the centre of Budepest. The breakfast is lack lustre at most! Luke warm hot drinks, only one side of the toaster works and very basic buffet. Rooms have no tv, or hairdryers! The amenities it says are here simply aren’t, rooftop bar closed, pasta shop never open, spar next door is very limited hours and the staff are rude. If your wanting somewhere to stay with things around it don’t stay here it feels like your in the middle of no where. Nothing much around it so do expect to be walking quite a way to get to anything. I comply understand it’s geared towards student but even these must be bored to tears with the lack of amenities around the hotel, not even anywhere to grab a bite to eat within a good 10 min walk. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not On a plus note the reception staff are lovely

I was supposed to stay for three nights at the MP Hostel in Budapest; but left a couple of hours after I checked in. I arrived in the hostel before the check-in time; thus requested to leave my suitcase while awaiting check-in. Receptionist David just told me, ”You can put it in the storage room.” He did not even show me where the storage room is. I had to find the room myself. Mind you, David was not busy at that time. He was just chatting with a friend in the reception area. When I finally checked in the hostel late afternoon and went to my room, I noticed that the room was very cold. I opened the heater knob; and waited for more than an hour. No changes; it was still very cold. I then went to the reception; and informed receptionist David about this. He was in the reception, indeed, just talking to another hostel staff Daniel who is apparently the hostel F&B manager. He casually told me, ”Open the heater valve.” To which I replied, ”I did that more than an hour ago; but it's still very cold. Perhaps you can accompany me to the room; and we can both check the heater.” David answered, ”It's not my job. I'm the receptionist; not the technician... and the technician is not here. Wait for your room to get warm.” I said, ”It's been more than an hour since I opened the heater; but the room never got warm at all. If it's not your job to address the heater problem, then who can help me fix this? Can you at least transfer me to another room with a working heating system?” After David called up someone and checked the available rooms, he finally agreed to move me to another room. While I was at the reception waiting for my new room to be ready, I was talking to a friend on the phone to express my disappointment. When David said that my room was ready, I hung my phone up right away; and was surprised when he said, ”I”M A F*CKING RECEPTIONIST. THE HOSTEL MANAGEMENT PLACED ME HERE BECAUSE I SPEAK ENGLISH. CHECKING THE ROOM OR THE HEATER IS NOT MY JOB.” I replied, ” Where did the 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST' words come from? To be clear, I never addressed you a 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST.' ” I said these sentences at least twice, to reiterate my point. Without knowing the context of the conversation because he (Daniel) was playing a video game on his phone, F&B manager Daniel suddenly charged at me, kept on pointing his right index finger at me, and raised his voice, ”Don't you dare disrespect my friend and call him 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST' OR ELSE...” I then said, ”I didn't even call David a 'F*CKING RECEPTIONIST.' Go ask him.” When David agreed that I did not call him that, I then went inside my new room which was still very cold. Heater in the new room was not working. Again. After all the negative experience at MP Hostel Budapest, I decided to leave right away; and found another private room in a hostel nearby. Zero customer service. Aggressive. Threatening. I hope the hostel will improve on its customer service, and value its guests.

Apartment central. Room was nice. Reception staff not the most friendliest. The beds in the apartment are 2 single beds on wheels not ideal for married couples who are having a weekend away and wanna cuddle up at night. Glasses provided and there was another guests crisps in cupboard. These should be binned as open and unhygienic eating crisps someone has had their hands in. Rooms cleaned daily. A few times maids came in when we were in our single beds. Took towel and never replaced them, had to get out shower to go down and get new towels. It is quite noisy as apartment is on main road. There is blinds on the windows. There is brown curtains but they don’t fit the window so the sun shines in and wakes you up. No chance of a long lie. Beware of street taxis - they will try rip you off when you have been drinking alcohol. I’d download bolt - just like Uber. Kebab shop a few doors down - lovely food Spar straight across the road. Close to some fab bars. Unsure if we would stay here again.

Convenient location just across from train station, friendly and helpful staff, clean room, breakfast is good, and included, beds are a little hard for us but others preferred hard so it's just personal preference I guess. Overall very good value.

Hotel was heel schoon, vriendelijk personeel en een heerlijk ontbijt waar je van alles kon krijgen. Wij waren er gedurende het EK 2024 en elke wedstrijd werd uitgezonden in de lobby. Locatie: qua afstand vd stad was het wel wat verder. Maar bepaalde bezienswaardigheden waren weer heel dicht bij zoals de kettingbrug. Er is een klein supermarktje in de straat em op loop afstand is er fashion street. Enige minpunt dat de deken even groot was als het bed ipv een maatje groter. Als je je dus omdraaide had je een blote rug.

Just come back from a city break in Budapest and spent 3 nights here. We booked it via Jet2 City Breaks. The hotel is in District 7. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which takes you to the Szechenyl Thermal spa, You can pay on the bus 450 Hungarian forint. However You don't get change . The hotel can book the spa tickets for you; just enquire at reception as we did. So no queuing in the spa to get in. The hotel also offers an airport transfer service. We didn't use this but handy to know. You can also get the hop on hop off bus tickets at the hotel too. Breakfast was fine; European choices; sausages; scrambled eggs; boiled eggs; croissants; cereal; yoghurt. They also cater if you are gluten free so just ask. Staff were friendly & easy to speak to. Hotel room was clean; nice clean white towels & bedding. Air con in the rooms with large windows to open. Tv in the room & hairdryer in the bathroom (low power but does the job); shower gel in the shower too. Room could probably do with a freshener but we only slept here as out all day so didn't matter. A short walk to the metro which allows easy transport to different areas. A single ticket on the metro is 600 Hungarian forint or you can buy return tickets or day passes. Word of warning buy a ticket as tickets are checked regularly on the metro and a fine is 12,000 Hungarian forint which is roughly £25. Don't get caught out. You can get a day ticket for about £4 and have 24 hr unlimited use on the metro, bus & trams. So well worth it. No tea making facilities in the room but there is a bar downstairs. The nearest metro we used to go to is Keleti Palyaudaur.

This hotel is right across the Danube river from the parliament building. It is a beautiful site at night with all the lights. The hotel sits on the street that goes along the river. And the hotel is up-to-date and clean. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful.  There is public transportation that runs in front of the hotel. The metro station is about a five minute walk.

We booked this with Jet2 City Breaks and the picture of the room did look so much better! The room was very basic. There was no tea/coffee making facilities and no mini bar. There was a safe and a hairdryer. You were only given one towel each and one floor towel - no face towels! The room was very warm and we had to leave the window open all the time...The reception area was very nice though and we used the breakfast buffet which did have a fair selection of hot and cold food. Staff were friendly. We found that we were on the wrong side of the river for nightlife and shopping and we kept having to get trams or use the underground to get to the other side as the bridge nearest to us (Liberty Bridge) was closed to pedestrians. It was in a very quiet neighbourhood so no noise at night. We loved Budapest but we were not impressed with the hotel and location.

Fantastisch!! We waren drie uur te vroeg maar kregen, ongevraagd en heel vriendelijk, een andere kamer waardoor we niet in de lobby hoefden te wachten. De kamer was keurig opgeruimd, heerlijk bed, nette badkamer, kortom tiptop in orde. De verschillende zwembaden en het bubbelbad waren schoon en mooi dus erg aangenaam. Het ontbijt was erg uitgebreid zodat er zelfs voor kieskeurige mensen als mijn vrouw en ik wat lekkers, en gezonds, te krijgen was. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Dit bleek o.a. uit dat mijn vrouw onwel was geworden door iets wat we in de stad hadden gegeten en daardoor vroeg ik laat in de avond enkele stuks fruit en de volgende dag een latere checkout wat we ook weer kosteloos aangeboden kregen. Als ik iets zou moeten noemen dan is dat dit prachtige hotel al wat ouder is waardoor de luxe niet meer helemaal up to date is, voor ons was dat helemaal geen probleem en zou ik zelfs zeggen dat we het als een pluspunt zagen. Het is wellicht wat duurder dan doorsnee hotels maar het is 100% waar voor je geld!! Fantastic!! We were three hours early but were given another room, unsolicited and very kindly, so we didn't have to wait in the lobby. The room was very tidy, wonderful bed, nice bathroom, in short, in tiptop order. The various pools and hot tub were clean and beautiful so very enjoyable. The breakfast was very extensive so that even picky people like my wife and I could get something tasty and healthy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This showed, among other things, in that my wife had become unwell due to something we had eaten in the city, so I asked for some fruit late in the evening and a later checkout the next day, which we again were offered free of charge. If I had to mention something negative, it is that this beautiful hotel is a bit older, so the luxury is no longer completely up to date, for us that was no problem at all and I would even say that we saw it as a plus. It may be a bit more expensive than average hotels but it is 100% value for money!!
