Top Esztergom Hotel Reviews
Prestige Hotel Budapest
"It was a crown jewel in a beautiful city. Great location."
Eurostars Palazzo Zichy
"All the staff was very helpful, explained how to use an app for public transport, it’s very good having someone on the front desk 24/7. Good selection of food for breakfast."
Park Plaza Budapest
"My room was quiet, well equipped and clean, with a very comfortable bed and a beautiful view of Fishermen's bastion. The buffet breakfast was sumptuous with a large selection of tasty and healthy options. Hotel staff was helpful, cheerful and courteous. The location of the hotel is unbeatable, being on the Danube's Buda side with a direct view of the magnificent Parliament building across the river. Several good restaurants as well as a Metro station are in easy walking distance. Some minuses: one of the hotel's two elevators was down for the whole week of my stay and some of the bench-type seating in the breakfast room had torn upholstery"
K+K Hotel Opera Budapest
"Staff were efficient. We had a problem with our bed and got it fixed within minutes. The rooms are very clean, with all the necessary accessories, and a great breakfast buffet with lots of tables, replenished frequently. The staff at reception were polite and friendly."
