Hotel itself is a lovely environment and feels very grand upon entry. Concierge excellent. Loved the rooftop pool and lounging areas (robes, towels and slippers provided) €15 for breakfast a little steep considering the amount of food places available nearby. Was issued a twin room and was also meant to have a complimentary upgrade which didn’t happen, but it was a quiet room which was good. Ac very noisy though. Shower could have done with a better clean and discarded shampoo bottle from previous guest remained on top of shower unit the whole time. Close to metro line 2 and a busy square - I walked everywhere. I would stay in this hotel again mainly due to the benefit of the indoor and outdoor pool.

Dear Joanna, Many thanks for choosing to stay at our Continental Hotel Budapest and for taking your precious time to share your sincere thoughts. It fills me with happiness to see that you admired the stunning hotel milieu and enjoyed the quality Concierge services encountered. Thank you for appreciating the rooftop wellness area with its all great amenities. As for the breakfast - it is true, you can find lovely places in the neighborhood, but those are not all-you-can-eat buffets. I am sorry that we did not have the chance to provide you the free room upgrade. Please note that it is subject to availability and please be assured that we always do our best to fulfill the requests of our guests. I am happy that your room was proved to be quiet and comfortable for your stay, however please accept our apologies for the cleaning shortcomings. All your concerns will be shared with the relevant department head for further steps and develop. All in all, it is great that you could easily explore Budapest by taking the benefits of our good location. Thank you for your support. We cannot wait to welcome you back for another enjoyable hotel stay. Best regards, Zoltán Géher General Manager

Myself and my husband just spent 3 nights at the hotel recently. The hotel was very nice, with plenty of amenities. The wellness area was such a treat at the end of a busy day doing tourist attractions. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of food and is well worth including in your booking. It is in an absolute great location to all tourist hotspots. The staff were so helpful and polite, especially the concierge (Bence) I hope I pronounced his name correctly, he is such a gentleman, and made everything at check in very flawless and organised, he also gave us some advice on which tours to take and if we needed any help with bookings to contact the front desk. All in all a very pleasant stay at the Continental. This was our first trip to Budapest, it certainly won’t be our last and we will definitely be returning to the Continental hotel.

Dear The_wc, First of all, thank you for your stay at our Continental Hotel Budapest and for supporting us with an excellent ratings given. On the one hand, I am truly happy that you were generally very satisfied with our great hotel. On the other hand, I am very sorry that your trip was shadowed by an illness and that unpleasant feelings were arisen in you. Let me assure you that such kind of attitude is far from our guest philosophy, we even offer our assistance as much as we can. Anyway, please accept my apology for any inconveniences you may have encountered. I sincerely hope that you will return to us if your plans take you back to Budapest, will be waiting for you! Best regards, Zoltán Géher General Manager

The property was unique and very well located. Unfortunately, our floor was being renovated and the room directly next to us was being under construction while we were there. It seemed we were the only people on the floor and we could hear construction even on a Sunday morning. As we left, we realized they had already started clearing out all the rooms around us for renovations.

Dear Guest, First of all, thank you very much for your stay at our Continental Hotel Budapest. Needless to say, that all types of criticism are important for us, especially if they are constructive. We are rating them as a chance to improve our services. I was disappointed to read about your mixed impressions. On the one hand, I am glad that you deemed worthy to mention our centrally located, beautiful property. Hope it was proved to be a good base to explore Budapest. On the other hand, I am truly sorry that your rest was not as peaceful as you expected. Being anonymous, I could not check your booking and your room assigned for your hotel stay. At the meantime, I can confidently tell you that noisy construction works should not be started before 10:00 o’clock. In addition, you may have been alone in a section of the floor, but it is sure that you were not the only guest on the entire floor. It is very regrettable that you did not indicate your unpleasant feelings on the spot and did not give us the chance to help make you feel better with a possible room change. I sincerely hope that, despite the above, your Budapest stay was satisfactory and you left us with nice memories. We wish to have an opportunity to welcome you back and restore your faith in our great hotel. Best regards, Zoltán Géher General Manager
