We didn't expect much; we were only staying for one night and it was cheap BUT, there's cheap and there's Hotel Bara. After a route march and climbing many many stairs both up and down we eventually reached our room. There was a tiny lift that made several "disturbing" sounds and was just a bit bigger than a telephone box.... more

This is a great little hotel with a great big plus in service. Attila, the person at the front desk for most of our 2 day stay was so helpful. He spoke and understood English quite well and never seemed impatient or stressed. He answered all our multiple questions and gave us good advice. The room was very adequate and... more

Our flights were delayed by a few hours getting to budapest and even though we weren't expecting 5* comfort, getting into the room at 2am was a real disappointment. We had booked a double room but had twin beds with a large gap in between them, the decor was very uninviting and even though we were not facing the road... more

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and hated it. Rooms were basic but clean. Didn't mind this too much, but what I did mind was the rudeness of the reception staff. They did very little to help with enquires. Whereas the hotel across the road to the Bara (Hotel Charles) couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Avoid this... more

The Hotel was very clean, rooms were adequate, warm and the shower was excellent. Thin walls meant you could here pretty much any noise in the near vacinity. Breakfast was ok but different, none of your bacon and eggs. Quite a walk into the city although its down hill, a bit of a struggle on the return, it is on... more

Reading the other reviews on here, they all seem to have rather petty complaints... Bara is a three star hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Hotel is in a good location, quite far from the airport but we managed to get a taxi costing 4,500 HUF from outside which seemed reasonable. The Hotel is situated in Buda on... more

We Stayed here between 21st and 24th Jan 08 The hotel is very basic and very thin walls ,you can hear every thing even light switches being turned on. On a positive note though,the Hotel was immaculate and very warm.The staff were very helpful and friendly .My wife and I walked everywhere ,we needed to loose some of the xmas... more

The special offer was only £10 per night including breakfast (early Dec.) and good value - large clean bedroom and bathroom but noise from other rooms. Breakfast good and plentiful. Reception staff friendly and helpful with good English. Although it's near transport (and night buses pass by) it's a bit far out and getting places can be confusing. We arranged... more

from reading other reviews before I went to this hotel, it said it was basic but nice and rooms were soundproof. This is not true, I could here all other guests at night, even just going to the loo and the breakfast was awful. On a good note it was clean and on the buda side, so if you want... more
