Fantastic reasonably priced hotel

Situated on the Buda side of the river, it is right where the steps take you up to the Royal Palace. It is also very close to the Chain Bridge, the Fishermen's Bastion and other interesting sights. The location is A1! The hotel was in good condition and was warm enough to not need the heater turned on in the room. This was in March with day temperatures of about 12 degrees, with cold rain and wind. Interesting old prints of Budapest lined the corridors.The people at reception were friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was clean, bright and spacious and the buffet breakfast (included in price) was varied and pretty good, although they were the same on the 3 mornings I was there. A very good range of tea and coffee were offered. The room was spacious enough with all amenities, including a safe, and tea making. Linen was clean. There was no evening dinning at the hotel but there were a selection of restaurants very close by. A nice feature was an automatic shoe cleaner/polisher at the entrance, which was most useful after a day of trudging in the rain and dirt. Internet access was free at an alcove in the foyer. For the price I paid through GTAHotels, it was very good value for money - better than in Paris or Madrid.

Our booking included a Budapest Travel Card, which was not given to us when we checked in, causing us to buy tram-tickets the first day, meaning additions expenses. Otherwise the staff was very helpful, finding places we wanted to visit, cordial and we had a very nice stay. The room was quiet, the service good, but the breakfast lacked options of spreads and the coffee and cappucino was below standard. All totaled, however, we would stay there again

The Carlton Hotel in Budapest is well worth staying in. Convenient, quiet, welcoming and only 10 mins walk from the centre of Budapest. I would definitely stay here again. 9/10.

This hotel was an absolutley great find. The location, only a block and a half from the entrance to the Chain Bridge, made it ideally located for exploring the attractions in Buda and Pest. The buffet breakfast was excellent. In short, the hotel offers unbeatable value for the money. Recommend that visitors to Budapest stop by one of the Touriform Offices in town to pick Minicard discount cards. The discounts are, in some cases, comparable to what is offered through the Budapest Card, but the minicards are free.
