ibis Budapest Centrum

Great location within a reach to most of places in Budapest. Very simple room with no fridge. We stayed on 4th floor and it was nice a quiet even with the street window. Place was clean. Breakfast was slightly changed every day and all was good and tasty. Whatever extra I asked for was no problem. Probably gonna use same hotel next time when in town.

We went as group of lads for a stag doo the location turned out to be great to local restaurants and bars and the hotel it’s self was fantastic value for money would recommend to everyone.

The location was decent. It’s not city center, about 30 minute walk from it; but there are some nice restaurants and bars in the area. Housekeeping service was terrible, they kept knocking on my door in the morning even after I responded that I’m inside. I was given towels that still had someone else’s hair left on it (gross!). Front desk staff was friendly, although they did forget to note that I requested for late check out, so on the day of, they rang me at noon to make sure I was checking out.

We were in Budapest for a football match. My friends had already booked this hotel so I followed suit. £125 for two nights, incl breakfast. I had a single room as was alone. About 20 other supporters were staying in the hotel and all had twin rooms. My room was small, but did the job. I arrived at the hotel at 11pm to check-in. Check-in was quick. Only one elevator was working for the whole stay. This proved frustrating as with 9 floors the working elevator was busy. Once it refused to move due to overloading despite just 6 people in the lift, two of those were women. The bed in the room was a single bed. The shower was fine. Only one towel - which wasn’t soft(!). Breakfast was adequate, but certainly well short of a bigger hotel. But it was just €7 to buy if you had t pre-paid. It was ok. No table service just a coffee machine and buffet. The bar was just an extension of the reception desk, but it worked. The reception guy poured you a drink. Staff were friendly. Room 707 is done with Boeing 707 related artwork and door number in Boeing font. Not sure why, but quite a novelty. The location is quite good. 10min walk to shopping in centre or 5 mins to the Danube river and bars. We went on a lunch river cruise too - 15min walk to there. It’s a nice city with good architecture. I’d go back to the city but maybe won’t stay in this hotel. I’d pay a tad more for somewhere else, personally.

I will start by saying the check in process and staff were nice. I regretted my booking as soon as I walked in the hotel room. The smell was terrible and you can just notice what a terrible "update" the room has gone through - terrible paint job and base boards coming off. The bathroom is also so old! It was way too hot and when we turned on the AC, it wasn't working. We has to open the window and when we woke up the next day, we had spider bites probably from leaving the window open because it was too hot. After that, I just felt "icky" and wanted to leave. The shower pressure was so low in the morning that my husband couldn't even shower. The breakfast was awful. I also overheard management talking about how things weren't working in the building. We ended up leaving that morning and booking a much much nicer hotel! Overall, avoid this place! There are way better options in the city.
