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.

It was very good hotel, room was very small but equipped with all necessary facilities. Breakfast was superb and have huge selection. We had two negative experiences, first day hotel AC was not working and they changed the room next day. One day they have water shutdown from 11am to 8 pm and that was very bad experience but they did what they can. All the staff was very helpful and cooperative. I hope after renovations they will become a very good option in Budapest. They have no tea/ coffee arrangement in the room which hopefully will be included if they go under IHG group.

Excellent location, walkable to many places in downtown. Restaurants, exchangers and groceries nearby. Metro station Oktogon is right nextdoor. The hostel provides free breakfast, if you spend over 4 euros at the bar at dinner time you also get free dinner. There's a kitchen area in each room unit free to use as well.

Overall, our stay at the Mercure Budapest Castle Hill Hotel was okay as there were some areas that could be improved. The hotel front area had a warm and inviting ambience, which was nice. Upon arrival, we requested a top-floor room, but the staff recommended keeping our current room as it offered a better view. We appreciated their insight and decided to stay where we were. The hotel’s location was decent—about a 20–30 minute walk to the city area, making it manageable. The bedroom itself was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax. However, the bathroom and toilet were quite small, which made them feel a bit cramped. Additionally, while the room was clean, the bathroom was less so. We noticed hair left behind, and there was little to no body wash gel provided. The towels were dirty upon arrival, requiring us to request new ones on the first day. One frustrating experience was with the housekeeping staff. On our second morning, we wanted to sleep in, but were interrupted twice—once at 10 AM and again at 11 AM—by a cleaner knocking to check when we would be leaving. When I confirmed that the checkout time was indeed 12 noon, I didn’t understand why they felt the need to rush us out. It felt unnecessary and a bit intrusive. Despite these issues, our stay was generally fine. If the hotel could improve housekeeping efficiency, ensure cleaner bathrooms and amenities, and provide a bit more space in the bathroom area, it would be an even better experience.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious, tastefully furnished, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and always ready to provide advice and tips for our visit to Budapest. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gesture for New Year's Eve: a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in our room. Additionally, we were provided with tea bags every day, which was a lovely touch. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality! We felt very comfortable and will definitely return.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, but the highlight was definitely the view. From my window, I could see the majestic Buda Castle and the river — a truly stunning sight both during the day and beautifully lit at night. It made my stay feel extra special and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Budapest who wants a mix of comfort and breathtaking scenery.

Location is very good. Supermarket or 24 hours store just within 5 mins walk. Transportation is very convenience. Room is big and cozy. Halászbástya just behind the hotel around 15 mins walk. we enjoyed breakfast time and stay.

The hotel is in an old building very close to the river and to the main attractions. However is in a bad estate. The rooms are well spacious, but the building is very strange. It seems improvised. The team is very sympathetic and well educated. The breakfast is in the fourth floor and is fine. It was a good experience in the end but I would look for better options.

A funky hotel close to the cruise port. The decor is very unique with a fun vibe going on. We were greeted with a chance to spin a wheel for a random prize and scored complimentary drinks.  Only downside was no complimentary hot drinks for guests.

The hotel locates in a great location, closed to Metro station and luxury brand shops. The room service staff is nice. The hotel facilities are limited such as no hair conditioner, no slippers, no complimentary water. However, when I asked the front desk staff about the air-condition not functioning, he is so rude to reply me that the outside weather is cool (20 degree) and we can open the window instead. For me, the instruction in room is not clear enough
