Balatonkenese Vacations from $719

The staff were very friendly and courteous. The rooms were alright but the beds a bit uncomfortable

It’s in the best area, right in the centre of Budapest, and there are loads of shops and restaurant options around. The room was clean, and I was greeting with a lovely welcome of a small bottle of champagne and chocolates. Everything was perfect, including the brilliant and kind staff members, who were very helpful

great hotel and location. Around the corner from St. Stephens.

The room was nice, we had a balcony looking out to the city which was a nice bonus but did not get much use in winter. The hotel is well connected via metro to the city but is also walkable.

I traveled with my wife and 13-year-old daughter to Budapest in the summer of 2025. The Harmonia Palace is on the periphery of Budapest’s city center. The reasons I chose the Harmonia Palace are: - Each unit is spacious. There were three of us, and I wanted us to be comfortable and have our own space. There is a small kitchenette and a table with four seats for dining. We stayed in the Jade Heritage suite, which had two enormous windows that let in plenty of natural light. - The building used to be a duke’s mansion. They preserved the classic design but renovated it luxuriously. I really liked the interior design. Location-wise, it’s not in the very center, but it’s conveniently close to the Hungarian National Museum and Central Market Hall. One big advantage of its location is that it’s only a 3-minute walk from the airport shuttle stop. I find rideshares and taxis in some parts of Europe a bit shady, so I always try to use the airport shuttle when available. Harmonia Palace is just one stop away from the airport if you take the 100E bus, which also runs throughout the night. The reasons I did not give Harmonia Palace five stars are: - We arrived in Budapest after 9:30 pm. Their check-in hours are 9 am - 9:30 pm, so we had to pay €40 for late check-in. I’ve never had to pay for late check-in. Since the building used to be a mansion, the entrance is a gigantic double door that opens to an interior courtyard, where noise easily echoes. - It’s not in the very center
