Barceló Budapest

The location was perfect, just down the street from the airport express bus stop and the metro station at the city's centre, and close to the Basilica and Opera House. We walked to all other attractions as Budapest is a very walkable city, but you could take the Metro if you wanted as it was so close. The room was furnished to a high standard and was modern, clean and comfortable. There was plenty of choice for breakfast, and the rooftop bar was nice for a drink after returning from a day's sightseeing. Staff were friendly and helpful when we asked to leave our bags before check in and after check out. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the hotel for anyone staying in Budapest.

Booked 2 rooms for 2 adults and 2 teens. Perfect location. Close to everything. Many restaurants and cafes outside. Don't need breakfast in the hotel. Had a standard room, view is ok but not important for me as hardly in the room. Beds very comfy. Room clean. Reception staff very hospitalable. Bence in the rooftop bar very friendly. But a couple of times we were turned away before 11pm due to issues related to lack of ice. We only wanted wine which was disappointing. Would definitely book again due to location. Its just so perfect and cheap (£300 per room for 4 nights) during peak season. So much to see and experience. Highly recommend Budapest, exceeded all our expectations.

I had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The location could not have been better – right in the heart of the city centre, with shops, restaurants, and major sights just a short walk away. Despite being so central, the room was quiet and relaxing, which was a big plus. The beds were extremely comfortable, with good quality mattresses and linens, so I slept really well every night. Breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay – it offered a wide selection to suit every taste. There were plenty of fresh options such as fruit, yoghurts, and pastries, as well as hot dishes like scrambled eggs, sausages, and even pancakes. Everything was fresh, tasty, and well presented, and the dining area had a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, the combination of the perfect location, cosy rooms, and superb breakfast made my stay thoroughly enjoyable. I would happily recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

The Barcelo was a wonderful find. A small boutique hotel in the Jewish quarter of the city, right in the middle of a busy area with plenty of stores and food nearby. I especially appreciated an excellent vegan restaurant less than a block away. Also very close to a subway stop, the pickup place for the hop on, hop off bus, and the city's visitor center. The Danube was just a short walk away. The staff at check-in were exceptionally helpful, giving a great start to our stay. The style of elevator, which is now common in many hotels, requires a card key to access. But they also required you to select your floor before boarding the elevator, which meant you frequently had no need to share the space with others - it felt very safe. The room was well appointed, with a comfortable bed; though the default cover was a thin duvet, which was too cold at night, due to the habit of the air conditioner resetting itself to a low temperature. We weren't sure if that was a fault, or by design, but since we were there for only two nights, we just added the supplied extra duvet to the bed. The rooftop bar, while very small, was a great place for a drink, with a walk-up viewing platform for panoramic views of the city. Complimentary coffee, tea and drinking water in the room were refreshed daily. Overall, we wouldn't fault this gem of a hotel, and would certainly return in the future.

Great location. The room was not so big but enough for us as a couple. We enjoyed its balcony at night, as it provided a quiet, refreshing spot in the center of the city. Bed and pillows were very comfy. AC worked well, no sound at all. But what impressed us the most was absolutely the breakfast. Just wonderful. We had our expectations after reading related reviews on here but we were also cautious about our expectations since we come from Türkiye which has a very rich breakfast culture. We usually get disappointed in European hotels/hostels/bnb’s etc when it comes to breakfast. Even the ones promoted as “the top” just don’t meet our standards. But Barceló!!! Everything about the food was perfect: freshness, variety, plentitude, taste, presentation, atmosphere. Phenomenal. Thanks to all staff for this experience :)
