Baross City Hotel - Budapest - Budapest, Hungary 

"Wondeful stay!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We spent 3 days last week at this hotel. We were approached by one of their associates at the train station (they have a booth there) upon our arrival in Budapest. The hotel occupies the top floors of a well kept apartment building across from the Keleti train station. The reception area is sleek and modern, with a good selection of pamphlets, postcards, etc. The staff speak excellent English and were very friendly. We paid approx $80 USD per night (I am sure that people pay more in busy times) for a large room overlooking the surprisingly quiet shopping area around the station with a double bed and two singles. The room had a TV and minibar and was en-suite. The bathroom was imacculate and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was very generous and included in the room rate: scrambled eggs, meat, cheeses, yogurt, cereals, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and a variety of spreads for rolls. The final benefit of our stay was that we were in front of a metro line and had easy and quick transport to the different sights of Budapest.

Hotel Baross is about 50 yards from the Budapest Keleti station. Staff friendly and reception speak good english. Rooms are on the 4th and 5th floor of the building in the picture. At the time of my visit (May 2009) the works to add a 4th Metro line to Budapest made the square outside the hotel a building site. I'd stay there again.

Tutto ok, altamente consigliato. Posizione ottima, nella stessa piazza della Stazione Keleti che può essere usata sia per spostarsi con la metro, che per raggiungere altre capitali come ho fatto io (20600 fiorini il biglietto andata e ritorno per Vienna per 2 persone). I trasporti pubblici di Budapest sono molto efficienti, ma la città si presta anche ad essere girata a piedi. Saluti.

this was a great find ... main reason I'd booked was proximity to Keleti Pu, but had doubts about how close it would really be. Well, it's REALLY close! Staff extremely helpful and obliging, and speak pretty good English. The hotel receptionist did what the train station would not: printed out a long and confusing timetable which took me into the deep countryside, which was my next destination. Pretty good breakfast, and the coffe machine in the lobby, as also the internet, (coin-operated, fairly reasonable) are two great ideas! Hotel gives very good info about stuff to do in city, and also does the bookings. Recommended!

while there is construction going on in the plaza in front of the hotel- this hotel is literally across the street from the train station we arrived at from vienna. the staff are great and all speak english- trust them- they wont steer you wrong.the hotel is located on the 5th floor of the building- keeping you away from the street noise that occurs from train station nearby-taxis and buses are easy to get- but the train into the center of town is RIGHT THERE- use it- breakfast is good- they really try to make it that way
