Pros:

After reading rather unfavorable opinions I was prepared for not the greatest stay. Fortunatelly, I was suprised, pleasently! Even though decoration is definitely outdated the room and hotel in general were more than enough. There is aircondition, working very well (remote control on bail 20 euro), the room was clean, bathroom utilities in order. Breakfast simple but good. The only disadavntage for me was lack of fresh vegetables or fruit. Location is also advantage, easy to get by car and then leave the city, close to bus stop to go for sightseeing.The staff was professional and helpful (we communicated in english). I truly recommend!

Pros:

It shouldn't be called hotel, it's more like a guest house maybe. Very dated , the room stinks (something like incense smell, very strong) , extremely hot, no view, windows didn't open properly and face the street which is always busy with buses, cars, bikes etc

Pros:

War in Ordnung. Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber und funktional. Nettes Personal, das fließend Englisch spricht. Zum Duschen und Schlafen perfekt. Busse fahren fast vor dem Hotel bis zum Bahnhof Keleti, man sollte sich aber gleich bei der Ankunft in Budapest mit ausreichend Bustickets eindecken, weil die Automaten spärlich gesät sind.

Ikke noe ekstra speil på rommet, ikke noe hårføner, ikke noe vannkoker og kanskje kape på rommet

Pros:

Raam kon niet dicht dus ze hebben het dicht geschroefd, raam kon dus niet meer open.
Alles was te vies om aan te pakken. Bedden lig je en breuk in en we zijn met gierende banden zonder ontbijt vertrokken aangezien dat nog erger was dan erg.

Pros:

Das Einzig Positive ist, dass es eine Tiefgarage gibt und die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel im der Nähe sind.

Der Empfang war enttäuschend, zuerst wurde die Buchung nicht gefunden, es dauerte alles sehr lange, bis uns endlich die Tiefgarage geöffnet wurde. In der Tiefgarage musste man mit Handylicht gehen.

Zimmer waren wie vor 100 Jahren eingerichtet. Wir hatten auch nicht ein Zimmer wie abgebildet im Hauptgebäude sondern in einem Nebengebäude. Der Durchgang war unheimlich. Definitiv keine Unterkunft für Familien mit Kinder. 2 Tage höchstens

Frühstück keine Auswahl. Kaffee schlecht, eine Sorte Schinken und Käse.

Hotel Bara in tutti i sensi 😖
Pros:

Stanza 342 molto piccola per due(sotto tetto)piccole finestre,non ideale per chi sofre di claustrofobia!Pavimento usurato in parquet.Ogni volta che usi il mini armadio devi spostare sedia e tavolino.Il bagno senza finestra,con piccolo buco senza aspiratore,non c’è il bidè(so qui non usano) ma almeno la doccia telefono!!! Se usi il bagno devi farti la doccia.Hotel molto grande,ideale per scolaresche,ne sono errivate 3,tutti italiani,baccano e casino,con ragazzi che corrono e urlano sui corridoi fini alle ore 2,poi sono uscito io a reclamare un po’ di silenzio(invano)per dormire tappi alle orecchie!Parcheggio coperto a 3.000 fiorini al giorno che,poi si sono”trasformati in 10 euro(?)Staff cortese bilingue,no italiano.Colazione buffet variabile,abbondante,forse migliorabile.In conclusione NON RITORNERÒ IN QUESTO HOTEL!

Pros:

Extremely outdated property, worst beds (if you can call it a bed) I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Shower although hot and powerful, if you are over 90kg wouldn’t get in it. Air con ramped up to 25 and no controls to change, you have to rent a controller at 20€ to adjust. No seating or lounge area at the worst bar ever, breakfast was disgusting, bread, cheese and ham, worst scrambled egg ever, no toaster. No food available at any other time of day, no facility to use at bar.

Pros:

Die Kaution von 20 Euro für die Klimaanlage fand ich als super tolle Idee. Wer halt kein Klimaanlage will, muss es nicht anhaben und Energie verschwenden. Wer aber doch, bekommt einfach am Ende das Geld zurück :)

Hôtel loin du centre-ville de Budapest
Pros:

Hôtel de qualité très moyenne, loin du centre-ville dans une rue très bruyante 24 heures sur 24. Maintenance laissant à désirer, le mini frigo ne fonctionnait pas, les murs pas très propres, l'évacuation de la douche très lente, ils demandent une caution pour avoir la commande de l'air conditionné les serviettes ne sont changées que tous les 3 jours, sinon il faut payer, la seule chaîne de télé française n'a fonctionné que 30 secondes. Transports en commun nécessaires pour se déplacer.

Terrible!!!
Pros:

We booked a few weeks before our stay. We called ahead and asked for a late check-out on our departure because we were racing the half marathon. They said yes in principle, but check when you get to the hotel. We checked in and asked again about late check-out and were told, yes, it's ok and will be 10 EUR extra. Upon leaving in the morning of our last day (to the race), we asked again (to be sure) about the late check-out, to which they told us that no room was available and that it wasn't 10 EUR to have this service, but 50% of the room rate.. We needed the room to shower after the race.. This is very bad service from them.

The rooms were hot and very noisy because of the main road next to the hotel. The bed we had resembled a sofa bed with a sheet thrown over the top. The rooms are not cleaned very well either.

Breakfast after 08:30 is terrible, burners or the hot food trays are turned off, so food is cold, bland and not the best selection.

Would never say here again.

My stay at Bara
Pros:

I had an ok stay at this hotel. The room was not cleaned at all for the entire stay, did not get fresh towels. The TV was from the 80's, no remote, the button was stuck, so there was only 1 channel. The street is super noisy, no AC, but 80 degrees, so I had to open the window. When I left the elevator got stuck, so I had to my luggage in my hands from the 5th floor.
