About

The friendly Charles hotel is just under 1 mile from the center of the city, yet with bus stops right before the door, and has spacious rooms with a kitchenette and a great restaurant. Start your day at the rich breakfast buffet before you set out to explore the impressive Hungarian capital or for successfully doing business. In the renowned Janos hotel restaurant, you can experience tasty traditional Hungarian cuisine. The helpful staff is always there to provide you with any information you may need to spend a rewarding stay in Budapest. Many major sights can be reached within a few minutes. The public bus takes guests right down to the famous Vaci street in the heart of Budapest (only 2 stops). The hotel is on the Buda side, only a short walk from Gellert Hill and not far from Castle Hill. The Keleti Train Station is to be found 2.5 miles from the hotel, reachable easily via a bus.

    The hotel's restaurant offers dinner from Monday to Friday inclusive. The chef and waiter who serves during this period are exceptional. Almost all the staff is professional, helpful and friendly. The room is large, equipped and according to the description.

    Our bathtub was not the most comfortable, being very high.

    10LarissaPosted on: 8-10-2025

    All the attendants were really kind and helpful! It was amazing that they have adaptor for the outlets, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to charge our phones. There are bus stops really close, furthest we went to was about 3 minutes from the hotel. We easily came back in the middle of the night. There’s a kitchen, with a minibar and stove! It literally has everything and for a good price!

    10HelmiPosted on: 4-5-2025

    The room was nice, spacious and quiet. Good connection to the center by bus which was easy to use thanks to the adorable receptionist who was very kind and helpful with everything we could ever ask for. Bus tickets are also sold in the hotel lobby which is convenient.

    9TheodorosPosted on: 2-14-2025

    Very nice hotel with comfortable rooms. Central location in Buda part, with bus station just in front of the entrance. Amazing staff helping in everything may be needed!

    7IvanaPosted on: 1-27-2025

    The staff is exceptional, very pleasant and friendly. That’s probably the only thing that justifies such high rate. Our room was spacious and very clean, enough space for a couple with a baby.

    The hotel is not accessible. Stairs are everywhere, the elevator stops mid-floor, so not very convenient for a stroller or wheelchair for example.The breakfast is merely ok, not worth 15€ er person. The bed wasn’t a double, but two singles, and the mattress too soft. It was ok for one night, not sure for more than that. It takes quite a while for hot water to start flowing.

    Nice and spacious room and a very pleasant staff.

    Breakfeast could be better.

    The room itself was fine - clean and while somewhat older fashioned it was comfortable, decently maintained, and, importantly, warm.

    Wi-fi was shocking. I was there for business and was on the top floor. The wi-fi would not work up there and despite a number of attempts with hotel staff to fix it, I was wi-fi less unless I was happy to work in the downstairs hallway (I wasn't). Three days into my stay I decided to move hotels as I could not work there without wi-fi, and, all of a sudden I was offered a new room. Too late - why was this not offered on the first evening or the 1st full day?The other concern was traffic noise as, although I was on the top floor, I fronted the main road and the traffic noise was horrendous from 5.30 AM onwards. Some investment needed in the way of triple glazed sound insulated windows.

    Staff were superb! Very helpful, accommodating and service was excellent

    Location a bit far from city center

    10YuliyaPosted on: 10-13-2024

    Nice hotel.Comfortable bed, have kitchen in room, have laundry room in hotel.Stuff was very sweet and helpful. We like our stay.

    8WilliamPosted on: 10-13-2024

    Very good value, clean and well placed for bus services to the centre. We stayed in one of the apartments and we dined in with food from Lidl.

    You have to be happy with an Eastern bloc hotel were services are functional. We liked the place

    10MihaelaPosted on: 10-12-2024

    Staff was great & room was pretty. The price was nice. You have busses in from of the hotel, so don’t have to walk so much. ?I enjoyed the staff from reception cause he was speaking like 5 languages.. ??❤️He was pretty helpful and all the team was so nice and was willing to make our stay perfect! ❤️❤️❤️

    Passable

    No curtains in the bedroom so could not sleep with the lights on outside when I said it to them they said it was to late and that I was checking out in the morning so there was no point in sorting the problem now, and at check out I asked for some water and was told I could drink the bathroom water they didn't sell any bottled water, and had the heating on in the room when it was 23° outside and air-conditioning was not working well

    9PatriciaPosted on: 9-17-2024

    The hotel it is very well located, at the reception they provided very useful information about the city and the Buda and Pest sections, for people above 65 years old, public transportation is free. The hotel it is humble and comfortable. The best of the hotel is the help of the staff.

    The restaurant was not available for dinner, it requieres a little bit of maintenance to make it look nicer,

    6AmrPosted on: 9-14-2024

    The hotel was quiet and the room had a great view

    It was old fashioned and needs some renovation

    7MicahPosted on: 9-12-2024

    The location of the property was good. There was easy access to public transport to the city centre and main places of interest. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and on arrival one of the staff took our luggage to our room. Breakfast was excellent. There was a good selection of food for all dietary requirements. It was a bonus to be able to use the washing machine. Although the room was spacious and comfortable the carpet was in need of a good deep clean.

    5MarionPosted on: 9-9-2024

    The location was good, close to the Castle and bus stop.The room was spacious.

    Traffic and fireworks were noisy.The rooms were hot. The shower head needs to be attached to the wall.The stairs were difficult to manage with suitcases.
