Szolnok Trip

We loved this hotel. It is just a 20 minute walk, and five minutes on transit from the main touristy district. We prefer not to be right in the center of the tourist district, because the restaurants are all a rip off, and it is noisy. The Up Hotel has lots of little shops and cafes around it that locals use. There is a lovely small park across the street, where they had a children's music show and farmer's market on Saturday. We paid a little extra for the top floor terrace and it was worth it. We could see the church on castle hill from our balcony. There are lots of transit options within a few minutes walk that will get you anywhere in Budapest quickly. Getting there from the airport is easy: take the e100 express but to the center of town, "Deak Ferenc" and go 2 stops on the metro to "Octagon". From there just a couple of blocks walk. Travel usually comes with a few hassles, even on a good trip, but this time it didn't. I kept saying to my wife I felt like I was cheating, because this is all too easy. Thanks so much for the lovely stay.

This was our first time staying at the Prestige. The Prestige was very quiet and within easy access to everything via metro, bus or taxi. The room was wonderful and the bed was "heavenly"!! Great breakfast buffet and the location is just next to the river and Chain Bridge; right in the heart of the city center. The Prestige staff was extremely helpful helping us book a wonderful Masseur who came to our room with everything necessary to work the kinks out after a long day of walking/sight seeing. The staff also assisted with coordinating a car to take us to the airport. There are lots of great restaurants nearby and I highly recommend Dunacorso & Gundel. Both are outstanding and must eat at restaurants in Budapest. Make a reservation so you're sure to experience these wonderful restaurants.

Location of the hotel was excellent, rooms and hotel very clean, and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were really good with a fantastic range to choose from.
