This modern, comfortable hotel is just a block and a half from Vaci utca pedestrian shopping street, one and a half blocks from Ferenciek tere Metro station and two stops on the 175 bus from Keleti Railway station. Ground floor is the lobby and restaurant, rooms are on the first and second floors. NOTA BENE - THERE IS NO LIFT.... more

Stayed at Pilvax for the second time. If I go back to Budapest I will stay here again. Best of all are the location. Very central, only 200 meters from Vaci Utca (main street in Budapest). Rooms are basic and clean and with everything you expect from a *** hotel. The staff are friendly and helpfull. Breakfast is ok. more

First thing to be very wary of is no lifts we had to carry our luggage up 3 flights. The staff were very friendly and spoke English. The rooms were tired, showers were mouldy, and no tissues. If you required a blow dryer reception gave you a "if you break it you pay for it acknowledgement" 25 Euros. Breakfast was... more

This hotel is in a great location and is within walking distance to many places of interest in Budapest. One of our party stayed here in 2005 but since then, a new management team has taken over, and it really showed. The rooms, whilst generally clean, could do with a makeover, particularly the bathroom, which showed signs of age, and... more

Absolutely loved this hotel. As per, had planned my stay based on trip advisor reviews and could not have been happier. The hotel is a bit hard to locate from Keleti Pu, and I had to push for the youth hostel agents (hotel locator group) to look up the location on line. Pilvax is 2 metro stops away from the... more

Great location on a quiet pedestrianized street off the main shopping area and short walk to many of the main attractions. The room was basic but up to standard, everything you need but nothing fancy. Breakfast was the basic continental, again nothing fancy but it did the job. The staff were very friendly and helpful. more

We were very pleased to stay in this nice and clean hotel. For the 3 stars it is an excellent choice: very well centered in the city (close to the Vaci utca and metro station), and the staff was very kind and helpfull, really going the second mile. We enjoyed the breakfast, the clean airconditioned rooms, and the good beds.... more

A good value for the money in a great central location. However, the staff admits the wifi internet is down and has been for a while. Staff was able to refer me to an internet cafe about two blocks away for 230HUF per hour, but no compensation was offered for this, even though I asked. The continental breakfast is barebones... more

We took the airport taxi which dropped us off directly at the Pilvax. I would highly recommend this hotel if you're simply looking for a place to sleep (as opposed to romance or luxury or fantastic views).. I went with a friend of mine with 2 separate rooms and only needed the hotel to sleep and change in as we... more
