Facilities , location , room comfort , suitable for business , nice and helpful staff

Idan Israel

We were upgraded and had a really nice room with a balcony on the top floor. The Hotel is in a great location, everything is accessible. The Hotel itself is lovely and we didn't hear much noise from the street or other rooms. The Pool and Sauna is a good bonus. The outdoor Pool had closed for the Winter the weekend I arrived but I'm sure it's a great feature for the Summer months! I would recommend downloading 'Bolt' - the local taxi app, very handy to use and cheaper than standard taxis.

Paula Ireland

Well located, beautiful building, comfortable room. Very nice and helpful staff. Great wellness facilities.

Éva Luxembourg

Loved the hotel. Our room was great and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good.All staff and cleaners were friendly and helpful. The Continental is ideally located,within easy reach of restaurants and bars.There is a Tesco and Spa minutes away.

Steve United Kingdom

The location of this hotel was fantastic for restaurants, bars and nightlife. Super central and easy to get around. We had a deluxe room and it was much larger than expected, really comfortable and a lovely space to relax in. The sauna facilities were small but really nice. I would definitely stay again and would recommend.

Nichola Ireland

Babar Pakistan

Members of the front office staff were extremely helpful (especially the concierge Vivien)! They went out of their way to make our experience in Budapest memorable! The room was nicely appointed although small considering we took the upgrade to a " deluxe room"! The buffet breakfast was quite good.

Jim Canada
