“good for the price”

very nice lobby.resturant was good.would have like to try the spa but did not get a chance.

“Great value stay”

We were a little apprehensive about booking the hotel after reading some of the reviews, but went ahead anyway because of the low cost. Overall, our stay was excellent. The hotel staff were very friendly and gave us some great tips on local restaurants, parks, sights, etc. This was contrary to many of the reviews I read (perhaps they have some extensive customer service training lately). Regardless, we had no issues with the staff, our room, hot water, everything was perfect. A couple of other pluses--the breakfast was excellent with so much to choose from and one of the hop on/off tourist buses stops directly in front of the hotel. The only drawback was location--it wasn't within walking distance of any of the major sights, but the tourist bus took care of that. We probably won't be going back to Budapest, but if we did we would stay there again. I give it two thumbs up and would recommend it to anybody.

“Happy with this Hotel”

This was an excellent Hotel

“Good hotel for the price”

Good hotel for the price and very helpful front desk.

“A week in Hungary's biggest hotel.”

We stayed here for a week in October 2009. Loved Budapest. Hotel was excellent and staff very friendly. Used local transport. Budapest is so huge there is probably no 'ideal location' so the Best Western being on a well lit, main street, with handy bus stops right at the front door, the main railway station/Metro line across the road, a few local shops and cafes nearby, is about as ideal a location as you could want. Walking to/from the Hotel, is not a problem either, only 20 to 30 mins walk to pretty much anywhere. Very relaxed and safe, even late at night. We though it may be slightly scary, but definitely was not the case. Magyars are very friendly people. This is our second time using expedia to pre-pay an hotel, and just like the previous time in Prague it was all very easy. One very slight criticism would be that the hotel/expedia did not let us include breakfast in the booking. We had the Hotel's excellent buffet breakfast every morning, scrambled eggs, sausages, hams, cheeses, fruits, yoghurts, cereals, etc. and paid at the end. Suppose this did allow us the choice of eating out for breakfast, so not a problem. Room was clean and bedding, towels refreshed daily. There was a secure, digital safe in the wardrobe. We requested a front view room, and got it. Although plenty traffic each morning the 7th floor was pretty soundproof. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel (and expedia) to Budapest, where this is so much to do, a week just flies in.

“Cheap, central, clean, efficient”

This hotel is a typical best western. Checkin was quick and painless, checkout also. Stayed for two nights. Comfy beds and well equipped rooms for the price we paid. Not central but then again, where exactly is the centre of Budapest?!?!?

“Great for people-watching!”

Considering how much we paid, the hotel was good value. Well staffed, friendly and helpful. Busy with all nationalities which made the bar in the evening an interesting place for a late-night drink. Amazing variety of breakfast choices! Once the nearby Metro work is finished the surroundings will be better but it wasn't too much of a problem. Good transport connections nearby.

“Good location and excellent value for money”

Travelled to see Depeche mode in Concert. The hotel was within 20 minutes walking distance of the Puskas stadium and about 20 minutes walk to Liszt Ferenc Ter (the heart of the budapest west end)

“Convenient Location”

The facility is a bit old but very well maintained and clean. It is the type of hotel that receives many groups - stay away if you do not enjoy busy lobbies ! Extremely convenient for those traveling on international trains as it is in front of the Keleti train station. Subway is within a few meters. Neighborhood is a bit odd but has everything that usually tourists need on a daily basis.

“not like USA hotel”

The check in staff was rude upon arrival, but the bell hops were VERY helpful and wonderful. Beds were small, but hotel was very convient to train station and ATMs and Bus Tours (you can see all sights in one day.) Room was clean. With expedia, breakfast is not included in hotel price.
