Zara Continental Hotel, Budapest

What impressed me the most was the barman guy. Awesome guy! Keep it that way

Was everything good, the food , the room, the wellness era.

Everything was fine

Friendly, glorious facilities very helpful concierges

It would be great over time to move away from instant coffee and kettle in rooms to Nespresso machines, little bowls for ham would be great at breakfast buffet which was excellent in choice

nice hotel, good food, friendly staff, good location, nice litte spa, which can be crowded.

The rooms are a bit dated. The bar and lounge area have an odd setup—the tables are much higher than the chairs, so you feel like a toddler sitting at them. It’s a complete mismatch in design.

The hotel is beautiful and was not too far from all the attractions. I appreciated that the hotel had large umbrellas for the guests because it did rain, and it was raining very hard.

The breakfast buffet was large and varied, but unfortunately the hot food was lukewarm and dry. The bathroom was a bit small but none of this was a deal breaker.

Large comfortable bedroom with the largest most comfortable bed I've ever slept on.

Would have liked to be able to sit outside in the evening and have a drink. They could easily make use of the outdoor space used for breakfast.

This hotel is a true hidden gem in Budapest. It appears very simple and almost hidden from the outside but the interior design (especially of the main entrance hall) is stunning. Upon arrival, we enquired whether our room was ready (way before check-in times) and we were given the possibility to already check-in before lunchtime. The rooms are of a good size, have all basic equipment and beds are quite comfortable. What we liked the most was the location - easy to reach all the main Budapest landmarks by walk and surrounded by good restaurants. Breakfast was ok - a bit on the pricier side, albeit well organized and with plenty of space to enjoy a meal in peace. We were also allowed to keep our luggage stored at the hotel after checking out for no additional fee.

Walls were quite thin and it was possible to hear most happening in the other rooms and corridor. Complimentary toiletry offer was quite limited. Breakfast choices were good but limited for the price (EUR 15). There is no coffee machine but only powder coffee to mix in with water.

Very good location, walking distance to the metro station to get to main attractions. Breakfast is good with wide selection.

The busyness at breakfast. A bit chaotic.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Our room was stylish, clean, and comfortable. Good breakfast and friendly staff. The rooftop pools were great.

good location, good breakfast

small room

We have stayed here before and will go back as we have family in Budapest. The hotel is exceptionally well run and the staff are charming and very helpful always.

The area is not great, but we stay in different areas when we visit.

Perfect location with walking distance to some tourist attractions, restaurants and bars. The breakfast was really good and the staff at the hotel were very service oriented. The rooftop pool was great for the sunny days.

The rooms AC was working poorly, the room was steaming hot and it was hard to relax and sleep because of this. At breakfast there could be a bit more options when it comes to the bread selection. The bread was dry and boring. The rest of the breakfast was great 🤗

Very well placed in the centre of the city, amazing foyer and very friendly helpful staff

The rooms were absolutely fine but just a bit basic

Very clean all around. Great staff and concierge

The food for breakfast wasn't very good.

Beautiful building, rooftop pool.

Beautifull stay. Swimingpool on the roof top was amazing.

Nothing

We absolutely loved the decor. Art Nouveau and art deco married perfectly. We chose it because of this and the central location. We liked our room- deluxe double room and the amazing view over the inner courtyard. We enjoyed the plentiful and varied daily breakfasts. The staff in the lobby were friendly and welcoming. The pool facilities were very much welcomed too.

The initial few hours of our stay were not great, unfortunately. We had paid more money to have a deluxe room, and we were given a standard one instead, claiming that this was an executive room. The day before we arrived, we received an email asking us if we wanted to upgrade our room, but we replied that we were happy with the deluxe one we had booked, but we would have loved a nice view. They told us that they would try to accommodate our request. When we arrived, however, we were taken to a room that was not a deluxe one but a standard one, and to add insult to injury, when we looked out of the window, we saw an ugly building site as our view. We immediately phoned reception to tell them that we were very unhappy and explained why. At this point, they took us to another room, which was our initial paid choice, and the view was magnificent - the room overlooked an inner, lush courtyard. Our question at this point is: Was this a genuine mistake, or was this a good try to misleading? Would a younger and more inexperienced traveller have remained silent? (A bit later, as we were resting, we had a couple at our door trying to get in, saying that this was the room they had been given. We told them to go down to reception to solve their situation, which they did.) So, to finish, we can say that the beginning of our stay was stressful, and we are still puzzled as to why all of this happened in the first place.

breakfast was good. lobby of the hotel is lovely

Bed wasn't comfortable.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful. The breakfast was nice but a bit crowded at times.

אהבו · An amazing hotel in the lively center of Budapest!! Magnificent rooms and excellent food served in the morning. The staff is professional, kind and super helpful... The food and service at Araz Restaurant was simply beyond excellent. definitely recommended and sure that we will come to Budapest again and we will return to the hotel !!!

Very central to everything. We walked everywhere

Good facilities. Great location. Lovely staff.

Excellent breakfast, lovely pools, great cocktails

Nothing

Facilities are really good with the spa/swimming pool and added bonus. Breakfast is excellent but can be overcrowded at peak times. Location is superb and the cleanliness A1.

Nothing - couldn’t fault the hotel and staff

Great location, central (jewish quarter), with a lot of nice cafes restaurants and bars. The hotel is exceptional in every regard, but comes at a cost (price).

breakfast coffee was mediocre

Excellent hotel

The location

The location is a strong advantage of this place and it was the most important thing for me, along with the cleanliness. The hotel is not bad, but the simple refurbishment would increase a standard much. However, I have to say that employees are very kind and helpful people. I enjoyed the outside swimming-pool on the roof, as well the one inside in. What I dislike the most was food. It was just fine, but I ecpected more condidering price and hotel's standard. What I can advise to the owner, please do not put one big duvet in double room. It is just uncomfortable for couples. Nevertheless, hotel service helped us to solve this issue.

hotel is well presented.

We liked the comfort of the room, the staff were very helpful. It was lovely to be able to sit in the roof garden. I would definitely return.

Everything was great: location, stuff, room, breakfast, rooftop swimming pool

Infra-red sauna didn’t work when we vidited, just Finnish was available

the aircon was not great

I have been staying by this hotel for the past 10 years amazing experience beautiful hotel stunning rooms comfortable beds

I wish there would be a program where I get priority bonuses for using this hotel for the past several years

Great Service, near city center

To soft bed

For the price paid, it exceeded expectations

The long morning queues for breakfast

The location was great, close to buses, trams, same road as the electric bus, a stroll to red line underground.

The air conditioning wasn’t that good.

Good location, tucked away in a side alley of Main Street.

Nice hotel, good breakfast, nice outdoor terasse.

The bed and pillow too soft.

Breakfast was varied and good quality. Hotel was in good location to explore city on foot. Would recommend.

Bedroom was very warm. Air con was ineffective so had to open window.

Excellent condition, location and quality of the rooms.

Nothing.

All lovely except the roof top pool wasn’t open when it was meant to be and it was one of the reasons we chose the hotel, which isn’t cheap! Also, no sign so difficult to find the hotel entrance!!!

Staff were lovely and room was very clean. Location is ideal and the bed is very comfy. The shower is great.

Room was a bit small and air-conditioning was annoying the way it shuts off and kicks in repeatedly.

Great breakfast! Friendly and attentive staff.

The street outside our bedroom was noisy at 5am every morning when we think the bins were emptied.

Location and great bar!

Breakfast chaotic and coffee machines took few and not maintained.

Location

The phone charger connections did not work. The fridge was useless. It was colder outside my fridge than it was inside the fridge. Need to upgrade your fridges.

I booked this hotel because I needed a hotel with a pool for a quick activity for rainy days since I was traveling with children. This was the only option that had a decent price and location. For the price, it was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful any time I asked. They treated my children wonderfully, giving them special teddy bead key cards for the room and greeting them whenever they were in the lobby and providing extras of everything in our room without us ever asking. The room was very spacious and fit the four of us and our belongings great. It was very comfortable to move around. The beds were very comfortable, even the sofa bed which was spacious for my two kids. I have to mention that the pillows were ginormous and so comfy. The bathroom was also very spacious and having the tub and shower on separate sides of the bathroom made managing young children so easy. Unfortunately, the housekeeping is lacking. We would of course come back to find our room tidy but it wasn't CLEAN, and I know that because the hairs on the floor were always in the same place on the white bathroom floor and the dust on surfaces never seemed to lessen or go away. That's definitely a negative for me. The breakfast is decent but there aren't too many options. That didn't bother us because we arent huge breakfast people but I would have appreciated more fruit or vegetables. There were two instances that the cucumbers were definitely from the day (or more) before so that was a huge negative for me too. Be aware that while this is a good location, most attractions and restraunts are more than a 10 minute walk away so if that's not something you're willing to do, consider somewhere else. Overall, I would stay again if my next visit had the same criteria. The staff being so nice was enough for me.

Brilliant location, rooms spotless and staff very friendly. Breakfast lovely too.

Really great hotel, well located with easy access to everything and good links to public transport a short walk away. Breakfast offering was varied, although staff clearly overwhelemed when the hotel was full. Spa facilities were an added bonus. Room was well sized and bed was very comfortable, with some nice touches. Gluten free bread at breakfast was great, as was egg station. Would absolutely stay here again. Front of house staff were all excellent.

Our room was very warm, and the air conditioning made very little difference, but was really noisy even on the lower speed settings. Breakfast items whilst labelled well for allergens did not always have right description near each item. A seperate hot water machine would help with the queues for the coffee machines.

Everything was perfect, the staff, the location, the breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and would have prolonged our holiday if they had room. The hotel was so fantastic we spend much time there and didnt explore budapest as much as we planned. We will have to come again ;)

Outstanding staff and overall nice facilities, but the rooms are a bit outdated. The noise insulation also needs to be improved.

Most pleasant sray. Everyone was polite and very Accommodating.
