Mercure Budapest City Center - Budapest, Hungary 

"Great location"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We stayed in the Taverna for 2 nights and found the staff to be helpful. They allowed us to check in 4 hours early. The rooms are very small but are modern and clean. The hotel is in a great location beside the shops, near the Metro and all of the sights. The negatives however was the bar area, which resembles a 2star hotel. The worst thing about the hotel was the breakfast. Very very poor, so bad in fact we skipped it the next morning. Breakfast was served in an enormous room that looked like a bad canteen. The food wasn't good. Ignoring the food though, the hotel was very nice.

Great location!

Was recently in Budapest for a conference that was held in the Intercontinental Hotel along the Danube so I needed a hotel in the vicinity. Picked the City Centre branch of the Mercure, and I must say, the location could not have been better. It was a short hop away from where the conference was held, and therefore, a short hop from the banks of the Danube. It's located on the main shoping avenue, and you literally step out of the hotel straight into shops! There were restaurants and eateries galore about the place and there was no shortage of things to do in the neighbourhood. Everything was easily reachable including any tour buses that left from Andrassy Ut. The room however was very very small for a double. The airconditioning was useless and extremely noisy, leaving you with a sweltering room in which you can't sleep! You could just about turn in the bathroom as well, it was so small! Breakfast was not included but was added onto your bill, and they ask you if you had any breakfast on checkout, before deleting the price from your final bill, which seems very dodgy to me, but probably the norm in Hungary. Don't bother with hotel breakfasts, head out and there are a dozen plus places to eat just down the road. The staff were very friendly though, and could not have been more helpful in booking a taxi to the train station for my onward journey to Vienna afterward. Guide books will tell you, the Hungarians don't speak much English. That's a fallacy, they were all well versed in the hotel. Good hotel but would have preferred a bigger room.
