Dear William,Thanks a lot for staying at our Continental Hotel Budapest and for sharing your honest feedback, which mentions both the highlights and downs of your visit.It fills me with happiness that you found the interior decor and architecture to be stunning. This is the former building of the historical Hungária Bath, some beautiful monument parts were carefully renovated, such as the facade and the gallery with the staircase. The kind and helpful staff added a lot to the positive aspects of your stay that I am very proud of. However, I am terribly sorry that your upgraded deluxe room was not to your perfect satisfaction, considering the additional cost. Please note that in terms of comfort and equipment there are no significant difference between standard and deluxe rooms, however the latter one is a bit more spacious. Bathtub is an option (advertised as „bathroom with shower or bathtub”); we cannot guarantee it, however we might have been able to offer for you a deluxe room with bathtub subject to availability. It is regrettable that you did not have the chance to share your preference on the spot. Let me apologize for the inconveniences you have encountered. Next time please contact our helpful team in any cases, we are pleased to take the necessary extra miles to ensure your more comfortable stay. I trust that otherwise your Budapest discovery was a successful experience and you could take the benefits of our great hotel facilities. Thank you for your support and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future! Best regards,Zoltán GéherGeneral Manager

A nice place for the price. We were on floor 6 and it was very warm. The air conditioning was poor and noisy, so we left the window open. We faced the interior of the hotel (with a lovely mural) but the rain was loud on the canopy. Had the aircon worked, there wouldn’t have been an issue. The ‘spa’ wasn’t great either. Don’t book this for a spa visit. Only a Saua really. On the positive side - good location for the Jewish Quater.

Dear Andrew,First and foremost, thank you for choosing to stay with us and for sharing your honest opinion about our Continental Hotel Budapest.On the one hand, I was happy to read that you enjoyed the great location and found the overall value received for the money to be good.On the other hand, I was saddened to learn that you feel some aspects of your visit left a bit to be desired. Please note that wellness area is provided as a nice plus. We are a 4 star superior city hotel with great facilities, we do not advertise ourselves as a spa hotel and all parameters, facilities are indicated on our official website to avoid any misunderstandings. We offer a decent indoor relaxation area with a pool and saunas. In summer we open the panoramic roof terrace with an outdoor pool and sunbathing facilities. I am terribly sorry for your disappointment.Please note that currently central heating runs, we do not cool the rooms. However you can completely turn off the heating if it is too warm. We also would have been pleased to deliver you a portable fan which might have improved your comfort. Next time please do not hesitate to turn to our helpful Front Desk team with your concerns. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconveniences encountered.We wish that your mixed impression does not deter you from choosing our place again and taking the great advantages of central location. Thank you for your support.Best regards,Zoltán GéherGeneral Manager

Staff, cleanliness, and location are great. Only downside was the noise. Windows arent very thick so you could hear drunk people shouting at 2am. Also construction behind the hotel starting at 7am was also mildly annoying. But i mean thats life i guess. Maybe consider soundproofing the rooms if budget of the hotel allows. Only real critique. Otherwise nice place

Dear Bronson,Thank you so much for your stay at our Continental Hotel Budapest. I was happy to read your overall nice review and we are grateful for your recommendation.Your good scoring is appreciated, it seems like you had an enjoyable time in our property and our staff added a great value to your positive experience.On the other hand, I was sorry to learn that your rest was not perfectly undisturbed. It is a pity that you did not have the chance to share your concerns on the spot, as we would have been pleased to offer you a garden view room, that is quieter. Please note that downtown hotels, like ours in the middle of the lively Bohemian District, have to deal with some level of street activities and noises in certain times. Thank you for your understanding and please accept our apologies for the inconveniences encountered.I sincerely hope that you will return to us if your plans take you back to Budapest. We would be happy to have the opportunity to provide you with a faultless hotel stay.Best regards,Zoltán GéherGeneral Manager

Well, where to start! The staff, all of them were incredibly friendly, polite and professional. Concierge- stunning Gallery Bar- lovely Dining- we ate there on our first night - food was delicious Breakfast- Wow!! The choices were endless. It could get busy but that’s down to us getting down there too late! The room- bed was a bit hard for us but we got used to it. Pillows, not great. Bathroom was tiny and towel rail never worked. Towels are in need of replacing as very thin and simply not the best. The room was always clean every day by the efficient cleaning staff. Would we recommend- most definitely Would we visit again - most definitely With a few niggles, overall a lovely Hotel Location was great for us

Lovely hotel about a 10 min walk from the centre
Really nice hotel located about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Budapest square. Plenty of bars & restaurants within the area though so didn't need to go into the centre every night. The hotel bar area was really nice and relaxed with 2 for 1 cocktails from 5pm until 7pm every night. The room (superior) was nice but could do with a little bit of an upgrade really, unfortunately the air conditioning wasn't working, not a problem for December but it should be working non the less, we asked twice that the coat hook was put back onto the wall as it fell off as soon as a coat was hung on it, the sink in the bathroom leaked so the bathroom floor was extremely wet every day, towels soaked up the water, again, we asked for this to be repaired but nothing was done apart from a rag put around the pipework under the sink. Again, not acceptable really, especially for a 4 star hotel. Overall though, a nice hotel which was clean.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. We booked a standard room for 5 nights. It was very clean and we slept well on a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was great; lots of different food on offer and plentiful! We made use of the spa which is a pool and sauna on the top floor and this helped us feel relaxed during a busy city break. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the main sights but just a little off the track to mean it’s not in the tourist hot-spot. The only criticism would be that after arriving at 1.30 am and putting ‘Do not Disturb’ on the door we were woken early by the cleaners banging the vacuum into the door! This happened regularly each morning! Having said that it was very clean!!

The receptionists were super friendly and helpful. Generally speaking, weekend breakfast was great but Friday’s breakfast was average. Just a very small suggestion on the gym opening times, it would be better if it can open a bit earlier than 9am. Overall, would definitely recommend this place!

Lovely stay here. Spa facilities were well maintained and a good way to ease aching muscles after a long day touring the city. Restaurant was fabulous with delicious food and drinks at very reasonable prices considering the quality and presentation of the food. Staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Bed was incredibly comfortable and room amenities superb. Shower was a bit small but powerful and refreshing. Highly recommend.

Loved our upgrade and our room. Was comfortable, spacious and had the bonus of a lovely balcony area. Only downside was the shower, in particular the glass panel next to sink area. We walked in to it several times, and had to put a towel over top as a reminder. Perhaps an opaque spray might prevent more accidents?

Great location, Grand but tired hotel.
Good location, grand entrance and very welcoming front desk. However the hotel is very tired and the communal cleanliness is disappointing. Room was clean but not fresh, very small room, very noisy a/c and the bathroom was disappointing and tired. Shower is small and awkward behind the door with doors that don’t shut so floor ends up soaking. The bed linen is poor and the duvet is exceptionally small single sized. It was not long enough to cover my feet and my body - so either cold chest or feet, with the latter being an issue as the very small room size meant the A/C unit is directly over the bottom 1/3 of the bed. Awful sleep. The corridors are tired, brown and very dated. The communal areas were dirty and the lifts were filthy. The spa was nice, the pool was cold but refreshing and nice rooftop area. The pool is stainless steel and is very slippy around the steps. Overall a good location and grand looking hotel but it lacks finesse and attention to detail - very tired in places. The staff very all very friendly and smiling which made a difference. I would have given this information upon checkout however I wasn’t asked about my stay and simply given my bill.

My sister and I stayed at this hotel and it was brilliant. Everyone was lovely, the bar area was gorgeous and got nice busy in the evenings. The breakfast was good, and the beds were comfy. Everything was walkable enough but there was also good access to public transport. They even have a spa area and gym which was certainly enough for the stay. Really rated it.
