Hotel Erzsebet City Center - Budapest, Hungary 

Potential noise

Good location and rooms for mid range however front rooms are onto a noisy one way street which one would not expect looking at the map. Keep the windows shut and the aircon on and you should be okay.

A very nice, clean, affordable spot

We just stayed three nights at the Erzsebet. The location is convenient to the subway and just a block off of a pedestrian-only street with shopping and restaurants. The room was clean and modern (if a little small). Our room fronted on the street, and when we opened the window to cool the room down, the traffic noise was considerable. The front desk staff was very efficient and helpful. No internet access in the rooms, but there is a free PC off the lobby with access. The breakfast buffet was good - and the dining room was comfortable. This hotel seems to attract a lot of tour groups - so be prepared for a lobby that is packed with a tourists and luggage one minute, and then empty the next. Although Budapest has excellent public transportation (subways, trolleys, and buses) we found ourselves walking much of the time. The city is pedestrian friendly (walk signs at intersections or pedestrian tunnels under the major roads) and even the bridges across the Danube are easy to navigate by foot. Restaurants: Karpatia (formal, reservations and jacket & tie for room with music, excellent food). Fatal (reasonable prices, huge portions, onion soup not to my liking - see other reviews). Be careful of price gouging at the Panic pub.

Potencial de ruido

Buena ubicación y habitaciones para ser de media categoría. Sin embargo, las habitaciones del frente dan a una ruidosa calle de una vía (Inesperado cuando uno mira al mapa). Manten las ventanas cerradas y el aire acondicionado funcionando: Así deberás estar bien.

Bruit possible

La situation et les chambres sont bien pour un hôtel moyen, mais les chambres à l’avant donnent sur une rue bruyante à sens unique à laquelle on ne s’attend pas en regardant la carte. Gardez les fenêtres fermées et la climatisation allumée, et ça devrait aller.

Lovely staff, great location x

The hotel was very central and within walking distance of the main attractions and restaurants. The staff were very helpfull on the reception desk. The breakfast was basic but enough to keep you going until you go for a morning coffee and pastry. (If you want to save some money on getting into Pest from the airport here's my tip: Get the bus which takes you from the airport terminal to the Metro station and then take the Metro blue line which drops you at the end of the street by the hotel. It's a very clean efficient service and you can buy tickets at the kiosk in the airport. The whole journey cost just £2 gbp each. An absolute bargain and very well sign posted x)
