The Zara hotel is in a great central location in Pest, 20 mins stroll to Vaci Utca and handy for all the public transport. The public areas are beautiful, (it is an award winning converted bath house), and the rooms are very comfortable, modern, clean and quiet. There is also a rooftop wellness centre with pool, sun loungers and spa,... More

We stayed for 3 nights in February and got a fantastic price for our stay, since then have seen further good deals which make this 4* hotel extremely good value. The breakfast buffet was huge with a mix of authentic and familiar food and the staff could not be more helpful. The hotel was beautiful inside and the bedrooms of... More

The hotel is based centrally in the Pest area. The location was convenient in terms of shops, facilities and in terms of public transport. The hotel was clean and modern and overall, very comfortable (including the beds and bedding). Staff were friendly and helpful. The only reason I did not rate it at 5 was that if one went down...

Really can't complain at all. Location is fantastic--you can walk everywhere from here, including to a number of boho restaurants that are a bit off the path, but very good. Staff very good, polite, helpful. We had massages at the hotel and had a good experience overall (though for Americans or Brits, it's a SLIGHTLY less glamorous experience--no cushy robes... More

Stylish, convenient, clean, good service, rooms small, as expected for the inner city. The breakfasts were of a good standard and variety with the hot options not fatty or greasy. Would stay here again.

Nice hidden gem in the thick of all the tourist attractions. Walking distance to most points of interest in the Pest side of town. Rooms are small but well appointed. Neat bath but tiny showers. Bed and pillows are not the most comfortable hard and stiff.

Good service, clean hotel, comfortable beds. Buffet breakfast - good range of hot and cold food, which didn't run out. Didn't use pools but roof top looked excellent. Cheap restaurants close by and very close to Synagogue.
