Top Esztergom Hotel Reviews
Elisabeth Downtown Apartments by FirstHost
"Firstly, the property is exactly as it looks in the pics. The rooms are spacious & there are facilities and equipment should you want to cook (I did and all worked fine and the pots, pans, plates etc were in good condition.) I appreciated that I was offered a suitable time for cleaning. There was a balcony in my apartment with a clothes horse and washing machine which came in handy. There was also a dishwasher although I didnt use it. The location is also very good for Deak Ferenc Ter which means that it is easy to get to/from the airport on the 100E Airport Express. If you want to pick up some groceries, there is a SPAR (Klauzal Ter) and market with fruit, veg and meat about 5-7 mins walk away (walk up from the apartment turn right and walk through the park on the pathway, cross over and walk through the arches). I would rate my experience 4.5/5 and would stay here again without hesitation. I took half a star off as I got caught up in the NATS issues which cancelled my flight. I sent 2 messages - one saying I'd be delayed and the other stating my flight was cancelled but I still intended to stay for my booking. I didnt receive an acknowledgement to these messages. It was only when I spoke to Hotels.com and they spoke to the company did they advise that they had received my messages and it was no problem. I think it would have been courteous to just respond to say "Hello we have received your message and it's ok" - it would have made an already stressful situation less so."
Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
"The room was clean in day. Second day I have to afk to clean it. No show gel or shampoo - I asked twice and never received ur. Breakfast fur Euro 45 sounded unrealistic in Budapest. Location was very good, room good size but no shower, just outfashioned bathtub."
Park Plaza Budapest
"Great we only spent the night but loved the 12 checkout time. Staff was very friendly!"
H2 Hotel Budapest
"It was clean room and good breakfast. First night I was given a room right across 3 elevators. Very noisy and terrible. They moved me to a better location for rest of our stay. Never seen a hotel room that has a room in front of elevators. You could touch my room’s door as soon as you exit the elevator. They should not assign that room."
IntercityHotel Budapest
"Standard mid range hotel near the railway station Hotel fine area a bit mixed after dark."
Corinthia Budapest
"Very clean,well maintained. It is a real 5 star hotel."
Eurostars Palazzo Zichy
"This hotel has a stunning entrance into an extraordinary lobby- a mixture of centuries of classic style, and some modern design twists. It opens into a gorgeous plaza with a church and several great restaurants. The rooms also mix the classic feeling with tall old windows and modern amenities and updates."
Mamaison VIBE Hotel Downtown Budapest
"Clean room with air conditioner, friendly staff, good location. I would stay again."
Radisson Blu Beke Hotel, Budapest
"The hotel front desk staff are really helpful, the rooms and beds are comfortable (apart from the noisy AC controller that keeps switching on/off every few seconds in the night) The gym is spacious and well equipped. The biggest let down was the breakfast, we ordered from the A La Carte menu, food was cold, eggs and toast were solid, seemed like it had been prepared 2 hours previous! Another guest had 3 attempts at ordering a dish from the menu, none of them had arrived when we left the breakfast room. The staff were standing and talking in the centre of the dining room, meanwhile the coffee machine had run out of milk, the tea urn was out of water and tables were not reset ready for guests. We asked for a table to be cleared, the table was wiped with a cloth and that was all, eventually we went and helped ourselves to clean cutlery and napkins. Housekeeping in our bedroom varied from day to day, one day they removed our plastic water bottles (that we still wanted for water to carry with us) some days the water in the fridge was replaced, other days it wasn't, one day we even got two bottles instead of the usual single bottle. One of our key cards was removed from the room, so I used my gym membership card in the electrical switch, this was also removed, now I have to get a new gym card at home!"
