Novotel Budapest Centrum - Budapest, Hungary     

Hotel was Ok hence the title. I was there on business. Not very scenic if that is what you require. Rooms were fairly spacious. Looked like they were renovated recently. Carpets could do with an uplift . The air conditioning didn't appear effective in any of the 4 rooms I stayed in. If you like the window open at night then ask for an internal/back room as the ones facing the street are very noisy due to passing traffic. Hotel also appears to have some plumbing problems as it took ages for water to drain in the sinks. Didn't use the restuarant but colleagues weren't very impressed with the evening service or meal. Metro is outside and some nice restuarants about 20 minutes walk towards the river and very reasonably priced. A number of vagrants camp out in the road subways and very dodgy women approach men near the shopping areas. Story is that they (usually in pairs) engage you in conversation, suggest a bar, and then you get ripped off for drinks and made to pay. Some taxis charged a lot more than others so suggest you try and agree the price before you get in. Stayed in better hotels but also a lot worse.

This is one classy hotel and get's top marks for service,amenities and the breakfasts are superb. Less than 50m from metro,2 stops from town taking approx 2 minutes travel. I enjoyed the 3 nights I stayed here and front of house staff are very friendly and attentive.I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and I have stayed in many 4 star hotels that would be put firmly in the shade by Novotel Centrum
