Budapest hotels in District XI - Újbuda

Pros: The staff were very nice and helpful

Cons: The hotel was really a guest house . There was nothing extra . I stayed for 5 nights and the bed was very hard , there was one little soap for 5 days , nothing extra in bathroom , not even a hairdryer and the only place to sit , besides at the dressing table , was on the bed : no armchair . This is Ok for one night stay but for someone who stays 5 nights it was uncomfortable , especially after sightseeing all day . No coffee / tea etc in lounge/ breakfast room for the weary traveller ( outside of breakfast ) . I had the attic room and couldn’t sit up in bed to read - I had to lie . I would not stay again nor recommend HotelAbel pension but as I said OK for one night .

Pros: Bed

Cons: No phon in camera Moquette

Pros: - public communication nearby - big and specious room - easy to find parking spot on the street (free of payment)

Cons: - a bit squeaky bed - lack of sth warm for breakfast plus slice of paprika, slice of cucumber and 1/4 of a small tomato looks like a joke :) - there's no need to change towels everyday, you could use policy "put the towel on the floor if you'd like us to change it", it would be more eco-friendly

Pros: It is very clean. Don t get fool by the looks, it has a vintage vibe. Also the staff is nice.

Cons: Poor breakfast options. It will be a plus if it will be an open buffet. You just get a plate with some ham,salami,cheese and 3 slice of veggies. Beside this you have cereals,tea and coffe.

Cons: The experience that all the guests sit at the same big table for breakfast. A Little uncomfortable feeling. Breakfast a little bit small for our standards. But it is our opinion, maybe others find it enough. Pillows very very fin, madrass ok. Backyard very nice, autumn colours.

Pros: The house is a nice secession style villa in a friendly neighborhood relatively close to the city center with a helpful staff.

Cons: The breakfast is acceptable but could be more choices and vegetables are used basically for moderate decoration only. There is wireless internet but no signal in all the rooms. With the heating on maximum I was cold during the late November night (I could get an extra duvet the next day however). In all it is a bit outdated and simply mediocre.

Pros: We reservated this pansion becouse he have a parking in garden.. But when we come to check in they said that we need to park on a street althout they had a free parking place in a garden.... Jung gir that been in a pansion when we checked in help as with everything and been so nice with us... Room were ok.. Bed were shaky and creaked all the time.. You dont have a tv or fridge in a room.. Breakfast were ok.. Location its not so bad..

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Good location. History. Balcony. Next to a church. Nice view of Citadel and River Danube.

Cons: Bathrooms and rooms need refurbishment.

Pros: The Gellert is not really a hotel, it's an institution. Beautifully stuck in a time warp, it will soon (2022 probably) get a complete makeover and, no doubt, become just one more super luxurious, eye-poppingly expensive five star hotel. For the moment a bargain, especially if you get special offers, for the amount of space and view and old world charm you get. The Gellert sits in one of the most perfect location on the Danube, it's an absolute must to grab one of the rooms with views on the river. They are huge! with vestibule, Biedermeier furniture, and balcony. Just don't expect super service, in fact don't expect any service - except for the reception men who always remember your room number and hand you the old fashion heavy weight room keys. The bathrooms and all equipments are really dated, and if this is important to you, just don't go. The Gellert traditional baths of course are legendary and they actually therapeutic ! A good steam and soak in the hot and hotter pools really recharges the batteries. Just don't go on Saturday afternoons/evenings when they become simmering human soup bowls.

Pros: Location was perfect. Hotel was grand and had a very interesting history. I was lucky with our room, I had a lovely view. so pleased we did not have a room with a court yard view.

Cons: Because of the age of the hotel it is in need of a little T.L.C. especially the bathrooms.

Pros: The Location just on the edge of the town on the riverside is excellent. if your expecting the sterile look of a premier inn or other large chain of hotels then don't stay here. The Gellert gives you glimpse of a bygone age. Wood panelling and colourful glass decorate the interior. Yes its a bit frayed around the edges, but then so am I and I am not 100 years old. The service was attentive and helpful and the facilities more than acceptable for its price bracket and rating. Yes you can get a more modern and predictable experience but I consider myself an individual character in life and so the Gellert has individual character. I came to see the city of Budapest and not spend all my time looking under the carpet for hotel faults, so savour its uniqueness, charm, history and enjoy. Thank you for the experience.

Cons: Breakfast was a little to canteen like, but other than that good value for money.

Pros: Great hotel, excellent location, excellent breakfast, nice staff. I will come again

Cons: -

Pros: Tram lines right next to it, friendly staff, beautiful building - inside and out, amazing breakfast buffet, very nice restaurant and bar attached to it, comfortable beds, easy access to Gellert Baths.

Cons: The carpet and minibar in my room looked a little outdated, but everything was clean and comfortable so that was just a minor issue.

Pros: The hotel is old but clean and well maintained. Our rooms were large and the bathrooms huge by European standards. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast is great and access is very easy by metro and bus, both right across the street from the hotel. The thermal spas were fantastic and although busy not crowded. Use the spas on the side of the swimming pool, it attracts less visitors. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Will certainly return.

Pros: The classic elegance of an old hotel.

Cons: A little tired but I hear renovations are planned.

Pros: The staff and location, the Christmas spirit and decorations Daniel in the brasserie was excellent

Cons: The tub leaked all over the floor and there weren’t enough pillows, the main restaurant was closed the whole time, could not get a late check out like others. The staff was really great though.

Pros: Decent size room; location near River; restaurant on the ground floor; public transit options

Cons: Very old with signs of deferred maintenance. E.g. The upstairs bathroom leaked and made a mess of our bathroom. The good thing is the hotel staff came right away and fixed the problem. The location of hotel is far from the major tourist attractions as it is on the Buda side of the river. The SPA IS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT: it reminds me an old hotel swimming pool with freezing cold water.

Pros: Staff was attentive and pleasant. Breakfast is amazing, huge and many choices which is included in room price. Price was very reasonable. Access to the bath house is so convenient and guests get discounted entry, it's wonderful to walk down in your big terry cloth robe and enjoy the bath house, towels are also provided by the hotel, added perk. Tram is directly across the street and allows access to all directions in the city. Views are stunning of the bridges and river. We were there in November so not crowded at all.

Cons: The furniture in the rooms is shabby chic, looks like the original furniture from 1918. Despite the furniture it's comfortable and the linens are clean and good quality. They could use new pillows, they are down but very flat.

Pros: Old. Felt like being transported to the 1920s. The inspiration for The Grand Budapest Hotel movie.

Cons: Bathroom had a bit of an odor....but all original fittings so not a bother.

Pros: Amazing food , comfy beds friendly staff

Cons: Pool was cold :-(

Pros: If you looking to travel back time this is your place to stay ... it kept retro, all old fashioned, including the staff. The garage is still operated by human resource ... full retro. I liked it for a night but prefer modern hotels in general

Cons: Too slow / human run processes (check-in, garage entrance etc).

Pros: Everything was luxurious and clean..the staff they are a first class...helpful and kind as well

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Comfortable room

Cons: Noise from relaxation area adjacent to room, which was early morning (6.00am) and evening (9.00pm) Was group of women who may be Hotel staff.

Pros: The location was a good location for my needs in terms of meetings.. I had a room overlooking the park which was nice.

Cons: The room was horrific!! For the low cost I was absolutely not expecting 5* but jeez! It reminded me of a caravan from the 80s. The most striking thing when you walk in is the smell of burning dust! The heating/aircon is so old there are decades of dust that no one has EVER tried to remove and you can smell it the minute you open the door. Also it is not possible to turn the heat off! After two days I decided to complain and the response was absolutely ridiculous! I was told the heat was off yet the temp in the room was 27 c - I checked with a thermother FYI according to health and safety 19c is max. Also the tap in the bathroom more than dripped loudly another thing you couldn't turn off. I found senior staff to be unaccomodating and rude including the guy at check in. Staff with less authority were very pleasant e.g. room cleaners, the guys who ordered taxis, the young lady in the coffee dock and the woman who checked me out. Over all the only reason I didn't leave immediately was because I figured it was a good location and it was too much hassle. I will not ever return unless it is refurbished and under new management.

Pros: Nice breakfast, clean room, family atmosphere,good location - bus station, centrum and in the same time calm area

Cons: Only the towels were missing in the room

Pros: Rooms are warm.

Cons: One of the beds was creaking. Dishes were dirty. You cannot hold the showerhead onto your head because its wire is short. At least it was for my room. Nearest bus station is about to 5-10 mins walking distance and also there is no café or restaurant around hotel.

Pros: The position was ok, breakfast was also ok, in a bright room. Quite area

Cons: The toilets were flat, so the water from the shower was going everywhere. We asked another room, they told us all the rooms have the same. We booked a double bed, we got 2 single, and they told us they only have that (not said in the booking page) The carpet of the rooms was very old and rather dirty. The rooms were barely cleaned up in the following days, and we didn't receive shampoo after the first day.

Pros: Good position, cosy lobby, nice staff, good bed

Cons: Bathroom's smell, not possible to set the room temperature as preffered, some of the room's items were not clean

Pros: The price.

Cons: Bar small and short opening hours.

Pros: Good location

Pros: Parking, dogs are allowed

Cons: The male staff of Nov 3 2019 at 12:40pm was quite rude. I just arrived back from a 24-hour flight ftom Asia, exhausted, and he declared in a strong tone that check-'in time is 2pm. We accept the rule but he has no business dealing with hotel guests if he does not practice good customer service.

Pros: Breakfast was OK, good location only 1 km from Dunabe and 700 m from Buda fortress. The hotel is a little bit older, but everything is functional. For that money quite OK.

Cons: Noise. The maids start pounding and talking as early as 6:30 in the morning and everything is heard. Extra pillows and blankets would be welcome in the room. Only a few TV channels all with Hungarian language. Like anywhere in Budapest, parking under hotel is expensive - 10 EUR per night... Very poor first-floor WI-FI signal and overloaded, almost unusable.

Cons: They should invest a bit in fixing and renovating the place. Looks like a wreck from the 1930s And would've been nice if they had allowed to park the car a bit after check out time (as long as the parking space is free and they are not expecting any other guest to arrive). instead of being nice and making it easy for your tourist guest to park for another hour (while the parking is COMPLETELY EMPTY) the receptionist said with a firm tone that "you have to leave with the car by check out time!". so I did, and I won't be coming back.

Pros: The area is quite nice, there is a very nice and friendly bar next to the hotel and the waiting staff are very friendly. Bus and local travel right outside so you can bus into the city centre or take a walk down to the city which takes about 20mins. Nothing great or special about the hotel except it was cheap and ideal for young people.

Cons: The hotel is very poor in many areas. There is no aircon for start, it's like sleeping in a sauna. The rooms are located so far from the main reception it gets tiring walking 5 mins to get to room. There is no safe, tv or forge in your room, so can't even secure your personals or out cans or bottles on the fridge, it's very poor standards. They don't change the towels often enough andyou have to keep asking. The WiFi internet virtuallyis useless it does not reach to the room and it's very poor. The food is terrible and even the staff there drink in the bar nextdoor, which explains it all. The staff were not very pleasant and always seemed to be unfriendly. There is building work going on so it's very dusty at times. Can be noisy when students or travellers have late night sessions. I would never come back to this hotel ever, and u would never recommend it to anyone, it's very impractical. 2/10 and that's being kind.

Pros: The room was big and bathroom was clean

Cons: There were soo many stairs to get to our room. The room was unbearably hot. No ac fine but no fan-tortuous. Uncomfortable to sleep like that.

Pros: Room was very clean and the hotel has got a good location.

Cons: Breakfast could have had bigger selection of food. Quality of coffee was avarage and juice were from concentrate.

Pros: v good position and accessibility, staff v v friendly & helpful, the size of the hotel allows flexibility for accommodating also more "difficult" customers ( like me....:-))

Cons: ...actually othing v annoying,I have noticed the staff about the "problem"....
