Beautifully designed small hotel at perfect location

The room and the whole hotel is beautifully designed and the location is perfect. We also liked the size of the hotel, it was cosy.

We would welcome more storage space (some shelves) in the room. At breakfast we were missing some fruit and vegetables and some variety of foods. Instead of two croissants, butter and jam, we could order something else from the menu. Three fried eggs came without anything - no garnish, no herbs, no bread, not speaking about butter. There was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room but the capsules were charged by one euro each. That was a surprise. We had never come across this anywhere else.

Good choice for a couple of days in Budapest

Pest-Buda is certainly a beatiful hotel in great place near the main tourist atractions. The breakfast was nice, but I wouldn´t be able to eat croissants more than three days in a row. Every room has L´Occitane toileteries whis is very pleasant.

Main problem of our trip was that our room did not have any windows and the bathroom was not divided from the bedroom. I have to admit we were informed in advance about it, so I just don´t recomend to take a room without windows.

Great winter stay at Pest-Buda Hotel

We really liked the style of the hotel and the location was very nice! The staff is very attentive and helpful!

Didn't really like having the bathroom without any separation in the room but that's just personal preference really. It would have been nice to have more variety for breakfast.

Beautiful hotel, stunning location - can’t wait to return ❤️

Absolutely everything was perfect about this hotel. We stayed in the Atelier Suite (room 32), and would highly recommend to anyone. Beautifully decorated, and every detail considered. We cannot wait to visit again!

I would just warn that there are lots of stairs, so be ready for some exercise!

Amazing, personal feeling hotel but a disappointing breakfast.

Great location and very Boutique and personal. Great room just sadly overlooked by some construction so had to keep the blind closed. (I understand this couldn't be helped)

The breakfast we had pre paid via booking.com turned out to just be two Croissants with a bit of jam. Feel booking.com took far too money for what we got where breakfast was concerned.

great weekend in Budapest amplified by a charming hotel

absolutely unique hotel, beautifully designed in the heart of Buda, the hotel was very small and had a lovely intimate feel. the l’occitane products were a nice touch.

mini bar prices too expensive to even consider using, the frenchie breakfast although very tasty was quite limited for the cost.

Magnificent stay in the center of Budapest

The whole building was astonishing as well as the room we occupied. We also enjoyed the frenchie breakfast, that was enough for the both of us. Also, thank you to the lovely staff that made our wedding day as smooth as possible.

Loved our stay and highly recommend to people who enjoy great boutique hotels

Boutique hotel in the heart of the gorgeous castle district in Budapest on the Buda side. Fabulously designed and furnished with the perfect mix of old and new. Loved the Frenchy breakfasts and our dinner onsite. Savored both outside due to great fall weather. Staff was engaging and rooms clean.

Would love a window that opens in the room to allow fresh air to enter. However it’s not unusual in hotels for windows to remain shut

Fabulous

The location, the great matress , spotless clean, great interior design, friendly stuff

The French type breakfast - although it's a boutique hotel, they could provide a richer breakfast - they only have croissants, butter, apple juice and a coffee (no continental type breakfast) - insufficient if you want to visit and need some energy in the morning! A little bit to pricy for this value! Not a minus but still: 20 euros/day/car - public parking nearby

Beautiful, characterful, and friendly.

Delicious restaurant and breakfast, lots of historic character and wonderful location. Very friendly staff.

It was a heatwave when we were staying but the air conditioning system was a bit underpowered, however given the ceilings were so high and beautiful it seems churlish to mention it.

Lovely hotel

Really nice hotel in a beautiful location. Stuff is really nice, rooms clean and comfortable (bed is hard). Overall we enjoyed it a lot and would definitely come back. It’s a bit far from “hip” Budapest and you need to take a bus (goes every 5 minutes) but it’s just around the corner from the best view of Budapest.

We liked it all :)
