Expert reviews
“Design hotels can sometimes feel insubstantial. Not so the Palazzo Zichy, a stylish, chic 80-room establishment that opened in 2009 in a restored 19th-century mansion, whose thick walls lend a sense of solidity. The mix of original, neo-Baroque stairwells and modern minimalist décor probably shouldn’t work, but it does.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Budapest.
“The four-star Hotel Palazzo Zichy is a consistent favourite with those seeking characterful, refined accommodation at an affordable price. It occupies an elegant palace built in 1899 by Count Nándor Zichy, a devoutly religious nobleman who was once imprisoned for writing a political article critical of Habsburg rule.”

Very nice stay
The hotel is a beautiful, old palace, but the interior is very modern and comfortable. Staff members are extremely kind and helpful. It is nice that coffee, tea facilities are available in the lobby, even once you checked out. Perfect location if your business trip is related to the Semmelweis University - 2 minutes on foot.
I have no idea why there are two separate elevators for odd and even floor numbers. Moreover elevators are quite slow.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The room was spotlessly clean, and the hotel's location was ideal, just a 3-minute walk from the metro station, making it easy to explore the city. Additionally, it was only a 20-minute walk from the beautiful Danube River, which was a great bonus. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area.

The room was fabulous. The bathroom was great, very roomy, clean, and comfortable. Great little coffee maker in the room. The breakfast was great, hot and cold options. The location was great. Lovely little bars in square. The hotel staff were very friendly, they couldn't do enough for you. 😁
The hotel bar isn't what we expected. It was just a mini bar with only beer and soft drinks in it. We were expecting a functioning bar that we could relax in at the end of a long day exploring. That wasn't what we got😕

Premium quality hotel for a premium price. Abundant breakfast with bacon and eggs, coffee and fresh bakery products. Nespresso machine in the room for instant wake up. Excellent cleanliness, professional staff - what you normally expect in this price range.
Nothing negative in particular, just an odd experience: None of the staff speaks hungarian, probably the price range and location expects only foreigners. Not an issue for me, but can be unconfortable for some.

Very good
Staff very friendly. Great location within walking distance of lots of tourist attractions / sights. The room was clean and comfortable and had good amenities. The price was right for the quality of hotel maybe it would be classed as 3 star in UK but I was satisfied and would stay again.
Nothing of note. Coffee machine in breakfast room didn’t seem to want to make a cappuccino but it wasn’t a big deal. I just left it and got juice instead.

The perfect hotel
The hotel is stunning. Excellent location. The room and bathroom were very clean and a brilliant size, very comfy beds also! Free tea, coffee, water and juice 24/7 in the lounge area of the lobby - excellent little perk after a day walking the city. Staff were very polite, helpful and gracious. Would go back tomorrow.

Very nice hotel. Nice staff and good location to visit the city.

A very nice hotel that I will most likely use again.
The staff was exceptional! Joi, Alejandro(?.), Peter, Isis, Alona, Andor(?) were all very helpful. Breakfast was good. Location central to most of the city (Pest).
Room was a bit small for two adults. No 'lip' on the shower made for a wet / slippery bathroom floor. As of late August '23, the lobby bar had not yet opened,

Enjoyable stay
The room was good size, clean, comfortable beds. coffee machine in the room which was great. The location was good and accessible to transportation. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The coffee pods were not enough for 3 persons in the room and ran out on the second day. We would have liked more coffee pods throughout our entire stay. Although we didn't ask the reception staff to replenish the stock in the room.
