Zara Continental Hotel, Budapest

Excellent breakfast

Very nice hotel in Budapest city center. Located in the heart of the Jewish quarter, close to many tourist attractions and public transport/ 14 14-minute walk from Deak Ferenc Ter - city center. The staff members were very kind, helpful and willing to answer my questions. The room was clean and well-organized. The shower was a little small and could use some refresh of appliances but overall good. Breakfast was very nice - wide variety, nice options. I have asked for Gluten-free bread and recieved it every morning. They even had a special place for omlet by guest wishes - not very common to see in 4-stars hotels in Budapest. The gym was nice with a lot of options. The hotel Also contains a wellness center with Sauna and warm pool - very nice and clean. My overall experience was very positive.

The area might be a bit noisy, and the streets around it might be messy and very crowded. The bathroom was somewhat small.

The pool, the dining room, the staff, the location of the hotel, the room cleaning service.

Not being able to open a window is quite disappointing, at least if there was an option to open it 15 cm it would be great. In addition, the air conditioner in room 319 doesn't really cool the room.

Great location away from city centre noise but close enough to walk in.

Roof top pool was closed.

The breakfast was great, the room was big and clean, everything we could find in the surroundings of the area.

Nothing to complain

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was really good. The breakfast superb

Great location. Beautiful building and welcoming staff..

It was perfect for me!

Everything about this hotel was great! To the service, to the food, to the location. I loved everything. Thank you so much to the Continental for providing such a great service.

I wish I could've upgraded my room to a bigger room. This wasn't the hotel's fault as the room I wanted wasn't available.

Great location and lovely building.

Perfect location, gorgeous facilities and the breakfast was fantastic.

Our room had a weird drain-like smell that wasn’t very pleasant but it didn’t deter from our enjoyment!

Great location, clean, comfortable rooms. Beautiful entrance and lobby area.

The heat in the rooms was a little hard to control however it was warmer than average for the time of year and air con had switched to winter setting. The staff were helpful in trying to resolve.

We checked in here on very short notice as our other accommodation had not quite been as expected. This is a standard chain hotel with a swimming pool and sun area on the roof. Breakfast was good.

Nothing to complain about

Wonderful entrance and lobby/gallery, great location, very good breakfast. We were able to bring our dog, which was also a big plus. Liked it a lot and would love to come here again!

Facilities (spa and wellness area), position, breakfast. And cuisine of the ARAZ restaurant

History

Rooms too hot

The sound of the church bells, very noisy all day and night...

The location was excellent. The bathrobes , slippers and complimentary water were so nice.

The staff was very friendly. Perfect location. We walked everywhere. Great breakfast.

Everything was good.

The hotel is very central, the staff was very friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast gives enough options for a couple of days. The room was always clean, towels, bed sheets were also fresh and fluffy.

My biggest issue was with the small swimming pool and the tiny sauna which fits at best 4 people inside it. For a hotel of >270 rooms, I think this is simply unacceptable. The wellness area really needs a renovation to the standards in the lobby area. Housekeeping seemed a bit disorganized when it came to exchanging towels, one day they forgot to bring fresh towels, another day they brought the wrong towels and the glasses needed to be washed again. The breakfast, although it has a handful of options, can get dull after 4 nights, if it’s not switched up.

Staff professional,helpful and friendly. Location good. Breakfast had good selection.

Indoor Swimming pool too small.

Lovely hotel Staff very pleasant and helpful Good location Breakfast excellent

Only slight negative Towels need to be upgraded old and no longer very white

This hotel is old style beautiful architecture throughout as it used be a baths. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast had a lot of choices something for everyone

The bathroom is a bit small

A nice hotel. Good location. Amazing breakfast.

The property was clean, exceptionally well-maintained. The staff were wonderfully helpful and courteous had absolutely no complain complaints about this property.

Honestly, cannot say there was anything about this property that I would’ve changed or had any issue with

Nice hotel good location all good

None

Good location, great hotel. We dined in the restaurant which was excellent and the breakfast offered a variety of choices.

The room temperature was difficult to manage despite the air conditioning being on for our entire stay . Did expect that in October

Loved the decor, staff where lovely and was a great location

Breakfast was so busy no matter what time

The hotel was wonderful and the staff too. The location was perfect. Very clean and good breakfast.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, quiet and cosy

Bottles of water in the room are not free so just ve aware of that and standard rooms are also a little on the small side- but very comfortable

The hotel was great location for me for city exploration and also for work travels. I would stay here again for sure. I also liked the spa facilities.

Only one remark - would be so great if the shower was bigger - there is indeed enough room in the bathroom to have a walk in / larger shower trey... that would be a great improvement.

Stunning building

Since I was traveling with my young child, I did thorough research to find the right hotel. The breakfast was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the hotel was clean and safe. I had a pleasant and secure stay with my child.

Fantastic

Nothing it was great

Drinks price at the bar to expensive

Spa facilities not good

cleen

expensive

Beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff. Great rooms, wonderful rooftop pool. Centrally located for walking distance to most attractions.

There were no issues on our stay. Certain that the staff would have addressed any. They are very attentive when needed.

Great value for your money. Cool architecture and breakfast. Nice pool and sauna. Easy parking. Great restaurant. Friendly staff.

Maybe too crowded but dang it is a nice hotel.

I really liked the Hotel and the staff as well. Everything was perfect, breakfast was so good and i would say it was more than enough, loved the spa. thank you :)))

Actually i liked everything but it would be perfect if there was any possibility to check-in earlier cause our flight was really early and it was kind of tiring, it’s not a big deal for everyone but if anyone also has early flight as us book one more night not to have any difficulties

It was in a quiet location in a busy part of Pest. Very easy to get to wherever you wanted on foot or using public transport. Hotel was immaculate, and rooms spacious and very clean. We opted not to eat in the hotel as so much going on outside but we did have a drink in the bar it was lovely. The staff are attentive but leave you to do your own thing.

Honestly, there was nothing I didnt like.

This bed — folks, let me tell you, it’s the best bed. People come up to me, they say, ‘Sir, I’ve never seen a bed like this, nobody’s ever seen anything like it.’ It’s strong, it’s luxurious, and it’s comfortable — perfect for sleepy people, like Sleepy Joe, believe me. The mattress? Tremendous. You lie down, you don’t just sleep, you win at sleeping.

No soy milk at breakfast

The staff are very friendly and helpful, the place is very grand, clean and well kept. It is a very close walk to everything that we wanted to see or needed.

Nothing i didn't like.

Breakfast room too busy and noisy

SPA & Wellness area!!! Very relaxing, great view. It’s on the rooftop and although the open area swimming pool was already closed by 25.09.2025, you can still spend time on the terrace. Sauna is very small (5-6 people is max), but it wasn’t crowded when we came, so it was OK for us. Beautiful hotel, nice room! Great breakfast 😍 Very good location also! We used an app BudapestGo for the public transportation, easy and convenient way how to explore city on your own. Even how to get to/from airport ( ~5.70 EUR single ticket for bus nr. 100E)

Location and beautiful decor

Breakfast could have been better and the swimming pools were small and got very busy

The hotel is beautiful, clean and spacious. Very impressed with all the facilities and the location.

The breakfast was not really to my taste but that was the only downside for me.

The location was perfect.

All the staff on the front desk were brilliant no problems when you asked them for tourist information they were always helpful but explained everything thing and also expanded on what you asked the doormen were grate very friendly and full of information they were worth 5 stars 🌟

There was a taxi strike where all taxis drove round the city slowly for 12hours grid locking the city to a halt all public transport was affected and hop on buses all late and missing pick up stops would have liked the hotel to warn us about it as the first you know about it was when you went neer main roads.

Staff so friendly

Nothing

It was so clean and the staff could enough for us

Nothing

Great location, hotel is very elegant, professional staff, nice spacious rooms. Wide variety of breakfast choices. Swimming pool at the roof, with a view. Super nice surprise waiting for my mother celebrating her Birthday. Thank you! You are the best! ❤️

Nothing 😊
