We heard that this was once the most famous hotel in Hungary- sadly once is the key word. It has been neglected for so long that it is no longer a comfortable place to stay. We were visiting Debrecen from Budapest as part of my husbands birthday celebrations. The write up on late rooms was quite good saying the hotel... More

This hotel looks great from the outside, but what a disappointment when you get inside. This hotel is in urgent need of a total renovation! Everything is old and dated. Rooms are dark with just some terrible old and dark brown furniture. Depressing! Save your money. There's nothing "grand" about this hotel! More

The Civis Grand is, from the outside, indeed a grand hotel. With a big plaza-like space in front of it, it is also well situated. The main lobby and halls are very spacious and almost luxurious with high ceilings and columns everywhere. The breakfast buffet is rich and tasty, and staff are helpful and polite. Well, this is where the... More

After reading all the reviews here I almost cancelled my booking in Aranybika but I am happy I didn't do it in the end. I really loved this hotel, our room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable, the hall and the restaurant were beautiful and the staff was really helpful. The only thing that I would not call...

Perfect location in the city center but parking is pretty hard. It seems that they use their image that was earnt in the historical past and do not want to invest any more. The building needs a big renovation. It is much more expensive then it shall be compared to its standards. More

Far for being 4 stars hotel. The building is very well located in the city center (you can not find easily a empty parking lot), but the rest was really bad. Everyting is old and not properly maintained, the room and the bathroom was really dirty, the courtains, the sheets, the towels were gray instead of white... and it was... More

Location as good as possible in Debrecen. Dining room and reception ok. You can see that the old part of the hotel was impressing once. The "new" part is not charming. The halls are ugly, looks not clean. The room we had was a bit small, beds not good (hard), and the shower didn't work properly. If I would return... More

Contrary to many reviews we enjoyed our stay here. We did not pre-book and by good luck three rooms were available on a Saturday night overlooking the cathedral square. We had been told to ask for rooms in the old part of the hotel which I think is a must. While there were some hiccups with service, the rooms were... More
