Do not stay here
Had a really disappointing stay here. Our room was very dirty and not as advertised from photos on hotels.com. The walls were dirty, hair and mould in the shower, it felt very unclean. When booking in, they said housecleaning would change towels on the third day and replace bedding on the fifth day of your stay, both of which did not happen. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything throughout the hotel, we could even hear the next room’s conversations. Staff were unhelpful too. Disappointing stay here and definitely would not recommend.

This hotel is not a 3 star as advertised its a 2 star hotel and which I was very disappointing in. On arrival 8pm the room was cold, went to reception and the person informed me that the heating does not come on until 10pm. Rooms are very spartan the shower head comes of if you put it on full power, however the shower was hot and the beds were comfortable. However overall the room is cold spartan and not comfortable when you have returned from being out all day, very basic just like a youth hostel room. They charge 8 euros for a breakfast its cheaper by half to eat round the corner of the hotel. They even charge you 700 Hungarian for a 1lt of bottled water when you it only cost 129 at the local shops. The location is great however coming back everyday to a cold uncomfortable room was a bit of a downer. The internet was not always giving a good reception, overall it was a very disappointing hotel in which to stay. Hotel staff not overall going out there way to welcome you so I would give it 3/10 for hotel staff.

The bed is very terribly spoilt where the mattress slunting. You will ended up with backache n aches a over the body after sleeping on it. Feedback to the hotel but no action taken. The toilet was with stinky smells with poor ventilation. Worst is we found that the tap water was in brownish instead of clear. We took a glass of it and showed to the hotel. Clearly seen it and the base of the glass of water is like some rusty residues (guessing what it is). The guy who came up and checked got shocked and told us he will bring down to the reception and check with the kitchen. Surprisingly, they called us and told us the water is OK and safe to drink. Terrible hotel. With the money we are paying, it's not worth. If you are thinking of staying here, think twice, thrice and think again and again.

Hotel provides one with what you need to stay in Budapest. The woman that checked us in was very nice and extremely helpful. Our room was spacious. It has an elevator, just not to our room. No towels in our room, but that was an easy fix. There is an open courtyard outside in the middle of the hotel that many rooms are accessed from. A group of extremely loud young adults made it known they were checking in at midnight. Management did nothing to try to quiet this ruckus that went on for over 45 minutes. Breakfast, if booking thru Expedia, is not included. It did not look appealing, so we opted to skip it.

Nice hotel in the Jewish district
I was pleasantly surprised when I checked into this hotel having read some of the negative reviews. The lobby was much nicer than expected, as was the room. I stayed in a room on the fourth floor which was nice and clean. Housekeeping were nice and friendly and came by every day. The room was equipped with a tv, mini fridge (extra charge), phone, and free mobile for your stay. The lift is small (2-3 people) but this is similar to many places across central and eastern europe. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great and is near many bars and ruin bars for those interested in the night life. Despite this I found the room to be quiet at night, I couldn't hear any noise at all. There are a number of smaller shops near by and two spars less than a 10 minute walk each way. Vaci utca is only a 15-20 minute walk away which I hardly noticed. There are a number of trolley lines and metro stations close by aswell but I didn't have much use for them as most things were within walking distance. Overall, this hotel is quite nice, quiet and central. It is not a high end hotel but it does not pretend to be. It was much nicer than many places I have stayed across europe.

Not recommended.
Very near centre. deak ter just 1 min walk Money stolen. £80. But maid kindly left £10. Not in safe. But she had a good rummage to find it. Staff on desk not interested and never got back. Window falling out in room.116 so avoid. Sound like it’s open because bad fittting. Breakfast was worst I’ve ever had. His isn’t sour grapes. Bread stale. Scrambled eggs etc very poor. I’ve had scores of buffet breakfasts in Hungary since 2003. Worst ever. Toilet roll. No spare left. So forced to use tissues. Kettle leaks so wouldn’t pass electrical test. Cheap and good coz near centre. But expect the worst.

Good location, bad service
Generally a good hotel in a great location. However, breakfast is terrible. Sugared water with flavouring instead of fruit juice and the coffee machine did not work. When I complained I was told I could pay for a nice cup of coffee from the other machine. My argument that I had already paid for coffee by paying for breakfast fell on deaf ears. Very poor service. In addition the reception staff pretended not to know about the free shuttle bus to the Hungoraring for the Grand Prix and tried to get us to book a very expensive taxi with them. We found our own way to the bus without their help. Again very poor service. There are many similar hotels in this area of Budapest so I will not be staying at Kings again. Shame, as it is a nice hotel.

If you dont mind rudeness
If you don't mind rude staff and bad room amenities you stay here. Otherwise, look for something better. The room was very tight and simple, which was expected. The Hungarian soccer team was playing both times when i stayed, we heard the noise from the people in the street drinking when they were winning and then the night they were losing.

The location was good and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room was quite basic but comfortable. Breakfast was included and ok the first day the man was extremely rude as breakfast was served until 10am and we went in at 9.45am he huffed puffed and muttered and looked really annoyed, not the impression you would expect.
