Hotel Central Basilica

I reserved a room through hotels.com and when we got there we noticed the room was super small with two twin beds placed next to each other and the bed took up the entire space in the room. Also the window has a SHEER curtain only. No privacy and difficult to sleep with sunrise. I called the front desk and asked if all the rooms were the same size or if possible to get a larger room. He just flat out said yes all are the same size and no to room change. I saw while cleaners were cleaning a room that was much larger than mine, so the guy just lied. The floors of our room were not vacuumed during our 4 night stay. With the sheer curtain, we were awakened every morning by 6 am. So all in all, not a good experience. I wonder if we had gotten better treatment & a better room, had we booked directly with the hotel. The only plus is the hotel is in a good central location close to many restaurants.

As a first time visitor in Budapest, I couldn’t have chosen better accommodation. Literally steps away from St Stephen’s Basilica, public transport is down the street. The hop-on-hop off bus stop is also just a walk away. It was such a pleasure to stay here. The rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful.

Very central hotel. Excellent breakfast. Helpful and kind staff. They only speak English or Hungarian. I highly recommend it. For us, staying at this hotel turned out to be an excellent choice. Very close to everything there is to see.
