Zara Continental Hotel, Budapest

Very quiet and great hotel. The building is great inside, despite it looks old from the outside. Very well refurbished. The location is excellent, a few hundreds meters away from a main bus stop and the underground. Wellness area available with a good offering.

Room is rather small compared to the hotel rating but it's ok for a short stay. Breakfast choice is fair. The transfer from airport was included in the price... I do not recommend it: not professional at all (unprofessional attitude), texting while driving, crossing white lanes... So definitely not a 4* service.

The staff were an absolute delight - everyone was so friendly and helpful. It really added to our enjoyment of the holiday and to feeling secure exploring the city. We felt like we had a 'home' to come back to, and a lovely mezzanine bar in which to enjoy a cocktail before retiring each night. We stayed at the hotel for dinner on the first night and it was excellent. The beds were extremely comfortable, the shower consistently warm (not a given at many hotels!) and the cleanliness immaculate.

Perhaps a little more cheese in the morning - most mornings it was gone before I could get there! And some fresh orange juice would be superb. Other than that, the only regret was that we were having so much fun we didn't get the chance to use the indoor pools! Next time we shall be sure to do so!

There was a rooftop spa with swimming pool indoor and outdoor and sauna. The breakfast was very delicious and huge selection.

Excellent breakfast, super location, lovely styling. Lots of wardrobe space. Generally very helpful staff.

Rather small room, style rather than substance. The shower doors didn't close properly so the bathroom floor got soaked. The shower was small compared to a vast bed. The bathroom radiator was not on, swimwear couldn't be. dried. 4 nights 3 spas visited and no drying facilities, brought a change of swimwear but still had to wear it damp. Too soft bed. Sheets not changed after 3 nights and making the bed consisted of smoothing the duvet over a crumpled bottom sheet. Coming back at night and having to make my bed (cant sleep on badly crumpled bedding) marred my stay.

Great location spotless clean

Bed was too soft for my liking

Nice hotel with clean rooms. Our room was not very big but fine. Good breakfast but very busy, warm food somewhat cold later in the breakfast period.

The relax area was somewhat disappointing. The area was small and not very relaxing. And the outdoor pool was 20C - not warmed as advertised. The indoor pool wa 27C.

Great breakfast,very good choice,plenty of everything.

Buffet breakfast was good. Bed very comfortable and a member of staff brought me breakfast to room on my birthday

Pools a little smaller than in photos

The manager very kindly upgraded our room to a suite as "guests of the day" The breakfast buffet was one of the best selections we've ever had, the staff were very helpful and attentive and the spa facilities on the top floor were excellent. All in all, great value for such a high quality hotel.

I booked this hotel for my parents and they were very happy with the location. They liked everything, the foyer is nice; this hotel used to be an old bathhouse and you can see those finishes when you enter-- very tasteful simple renovations throughout.

1. good location as we had some restaurants in the area and access to the super Budapest public transport system 2. the staff were very helpful and helped us book some tours that we wanted to undertake 3. we used the roof top pool - good for a quick dip after a day of sightseeing 4. overall good

Breakfast was extraordinary, also the cleanliness and the staff. Restaurant staff was also super helpful and friendly.

For a hotel gym it was ok, but the air condition in the gym was non existent so the workout wasn’t very pleasant, outdoor and indoor pools are nice but a bit crowded. For someone who doesn’t have a problem with that it should be fine.

Beds were very comfortable

Not enough teabags and milk left in room. Everything else was good.

The Hotel was first class , the position within the city was within easy walking distance of most attractions. The Hotel itself is stunning inside and staff were lovely too .

N/A

*Amazing breakfast *Nice roof top wellness

*The room was very small, even with an upgrade to the luxury room. We received a corner room, very small. So it was actually not needed to pay for an upgrade *At 10pm the smoking lounge is closed and if you want to smoke after 10 you need to stand on the street. Smoking area should be open at all times

The property was in a great location. Breakfast was the best part … the staff were extremely helpful.

excellent room and clean, great facilities, great roof with spa and pool, and variety at breakfast

Fantatsic location, roof top pools, sunbeds and little spa area ( where you can buy drinks and snacks) were a live saver in the heat- staff so freindly

Great location Service, cleanliness, and facilities were excellent

I really liked the greeting a the staff member who took the bags to our room. Gave us a warm welcome and explained all about the area providing us with recommendations. The Bed was also incredible! Super comfy.

Breakfast felt a little hectic and cramped. Felt as though the tables were too close together.

I loved the breakfast how various it was. Nice !!!

Minor things that I don't feel like sharing.

Excellent hotel in a convenient location.

I was disappointed to find out that you had to pay to access the roof terrace on St. Stevens day. I'd intentionally booked a hotel with a roof terrace to watch the fireworks. Very disappointed to learn access was denied from 6pm and you had to pay a fee. It should have been free for hotel guests to use.

We liked the rooftop pool, the cocktail bar, the grand building and the breakfast. The location was perfect and the room was very comfortable. Also, the glasses of cold water in the lobby were very welcome in the heat.

Nothing

The hotel is really pretty, located in a good area, close to everything we wanted to see. The staff was nice and helped us with everything we needed. The room was clean and even if was quite small, it was perfect for us.

I could say that the breakfast location was crowded. In the elevators, the Hotel made suggestions regarding the hour when is best to come to the restaurant but stating with 8:30 - 9 AM is really crowded. Also, this is not the hotel’s fault by any means.

Location, room, quality

Staff attitude and parking ticket issues. At one moment the staff seemed unprofessional and lacking internal procedure understanding. Manager had to stepp in

I enjoyed my stay at Continental Hotel Budapest. The room was very comfortable and well designed, and the pool area was a great place to relax after a day of exploring the city. Breakfast was quite good with a nice selection of options.

Great facilities with the rooftop pool and sauna

The air conditioner unit was very noisy in the room, but it didn’t disrupt our sleep

Attentive staff, lovely place, well located, clean, comfty, perfect breakfast

Nothing

Elegant!

Sauna is too small! But we enjoyed the pool And the relaxation area during sunset!

The hotel is beautiful and we loved sitting in the foyer or gallery bar, the rooms were extremely comfortable and clean

Rooms weren’t that big (but the beds were!)

Great location and breakfast

Busy spa, couldn't book treatments

Beautiful hotel with excellent service. Roof terrace gives fantastic views across the city.

Great location, with friendly staff and nice rooms. Very helpful with checkout on our last day and storing luggage/ ensuring we had what we needed.

The room overlooked an outdoor area with a garden. Beds were very comfortable and staff were pleasant and helpful. Everyday someone would tidy and make sure we had plenty of tea and coffee. Close to bus stops. Breakfast was very good.

N/A

The staff was very helpful especially Annette at the Spa, he was managing reception and bookings, she went out of her way to make sure my partner has a lovely birthday!

Should pop a few extra lounge chairs and bins around the pool or police it more forceful as the people just dump rubbish

The staff was great and very helpful! The facilities were very nice, we used the outdoor area, the pools and the gym as well. The room had everything we needed, the cleaning was fantastic. Everytime we headed out for breakfast, our room was cleaned or tidied up when we got back. The location is top notch and right beside Szimpla Kert! Overall this hotel is truly recommendable!

The gym could use an upgrade to be fair, but it's just nice that it's a possibility during out stay.

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and accessible to all attractions. The beds were so comfortable and quiet. The wellness centre was a lovely addition to our stay. The breakfast was great. Staff were all so helpful and pleasant.

The breakfast was good and varied. Good service, excellent location.

.they charged me for using the minibar after I left the hotel, even though I didn't use anything. One drink was open and I didn't drink it. I contacted the hotel through Booking.com and they didn't want to refund my money. It's a shame they don't trust the customer. It really disappointed me.

The Hotel is very central and clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms and beds were also comfy and the room is spacious.

The only thing that could have been better is the breakfast. To be honest it was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting more variety other than ham and meat. The boiled eggs were also not cooked at all. They were fluid and inedible.

great location , breakfast. really good hotel.

The check-in process was a bit challenging, as the lobby staff member didn’t speak fluent English, didn’t understand everything I said, and wasn’t very patient. He eventually started acting quite unfriendly. This was the only negative experience we had at this hotel. the pools are very very small but do the work :) in addition - its was so hot in budapest and the air-condition in all our 4 rooms was super weak :(

Wonderful location, indoor and outdoor pool, fitness, very good breakfast.

Rooms was small, an unpleasant smell in the bathroom.

Every member of staff spoke and acknowledged us when we passed and were helpful and hospitable.

Great hotel with good selection of breakfast. Infoor and outdoor pool. Sunbathing area to relax and not far from the centre of the city.

The hotel was welcoming and the interior is beautiful. The location was excellent - near some great bars and restaurants and a short walk to the river. The highlight was the fitness suite and the pools on the roof.

I liked everything about it.
