“This Pension is a rare jewel!”

I felt compelled to write this review because a business such as this one should be rewarded and encouraged. So many of us have met with indifference in our travels, both from tourists and tourism businesses. As a result, when we experienced the kind of service and quality that we experienced at Villa Korall Panzio, we were at first amazed. After the initial amazement, we had an uncommonly relaxing and pleasurable holiday. My husband and I enthusiastically recommend the pension for the comfort, quiet location, excellent breakfast, and outstanding service! We have travelled extensively and we can definitely say this Pension is a jewel. It is in Buda with tram access to the Castle and metro for the Pest side. Our room was immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The owner of the Pension is a gracious, friendly and knowledgeable man. He is very genuine and the service was perfection! He made guests feel comfortable and was never obtrusive. He spoke to all guests in their native language, of which he is proficient in several. He gave us information about interesting events and provided a short orientation of the city with maps and transport tips. His restaurant recommendations were great. To add to all of these rare qualities, the breakfasts were excellent. The selection was top quality and fresh: very good bread, meats, cheeses and omelettes. There was an excellent selection of teas, which is most unusual. Please be assured that the Villa Korall deserves my enthusiastic review.

“Excellent”

Nice place with a great owner who was very helpful many times. Would highly recommend this establishment

“Excellent, especially for price”

Other reviews had already warned us this hotel was not downtown, but as they said, the bus service was excellent, frequent, and easy to access. I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, and the nice bathroom in the room. Breakfast was excellent, and the proprietor was very helpful. It would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues, as it is a small hotel with no elevators. Otherwise, I'd recommend it for anyone who doesn't mind adding a short trip on public transit to their day.

“Great experience. Sure to go back next time in Budapest”

We stayed here at the middle of July 2010, on our way to France. It was just a one night stopover, but it was really nice, the room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was ok. The owner speaks fluent English, German, Hungarian and Romanian. We were impressed.

“Great little pension”
