“A truly enchanting stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

From check-in till departure, we experienced the up-most in care and professionalism. I travelled with a large group of friends, staying in spacious and well presented twin rooms for the weekend. A speedy check-in meant that we got into the city in no time and in the end, saw more in three days than most would do in a week; sleeping 10 hours over two nights but feeling fresh as a daisy.

The receptionists (all 3 of you!) were simply excellent, whether it meant assisting one of my injured friends or helping me out last minute in printing out a boarding pass. We were allocated 4 rooms on the ground floor. Even though the view was slightly limited, each room was presentable and as the proverb goes, "does exactly what it says on the tin"! Not being on the upper floors was not a problem at all because our rooms were next door to each other which created a great party atmosphere in our corridor. Budapest is a beautiful city with beautiful people and Castle Garden is the catalyst which lets one capture it all :-)
Best Wishes and See you Soon!

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

We stayed in this hotel for 1 night. I appreciated the location right a few steps from the entrance to the castle district. We came by car and saved 10 EUR leaving the car on the public parking place in front of the hotel (free after 6 pm on Friday and the whole weekend). The staff is just lovely. The girls at the reception give you all the necessary information right at the check-in and recommend you what you shouldn´t miss in the city. Thumb up for the bartender who managed the breakfasts. We asked for white hungarian bread which was not at the buffet and he was so nice and brought us their own white bread. The room was clean and well equipped (free tea). The only dissapointment was when we were disturbed by traffic during the night (cars passing by in front of the window). Anyway I would recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: ask for room viewing the same side as the main entrance, it is quieter

“good location but average service for business trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

We went on a business trip to Budapest and stayed at Caste garden, which was 10 minutes away from the office.
I got a room with two very small single beds, on the ground floor and quite noisy. I would have preferred a room with a double bed, or even to be able to put 2 beds together.
Moreover the weather was cold and the room was cold, and only one blanket.
Restaurant was good, nothing special though and no local food!
The staff was friendly but not very efficiently especially for check out, even if we asked them to prepare it when we went to breakfast, it was still not ready when we came to pay !

Dear MarieRomana,
thank you for sharing your experiences of your recent stay with us on Tripadvisor. It was concerning to hear about the problems you faced during your stay at the Hotel Castle Garden, please accept my apologies for them. If you had mentioned the issues with the bed and the temperature, we could have done something about them. Regarding the efficiency of our staff, the check-out time is the busiest period of our days and as you could see only one receptionist is on duty at a time so sometimes it happens that we can not be as fast as we would like to and I can assure you that non of us wanted to make you wait. In spite of the inconveniences I truly hope you will consider us next time you visit Budapest.

“Great place, great location, great people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

If you want a great place by the Castle District, this is where you should stay. I just spent 5 nights at Hotel Castle Garden and I have nothing but good things to say. Nice rooms, well kept, great breakfast (included in the room fee) and a quality restaurant. It's literally a one minute walk from the District. Best of all, they have an awesome staff who are kind, interesting people. They speak fine English and were fully prepared for all of my questions (I had a lot) and my extremely limited Hungarian language skills.

To hotel: Please tell Laura (Lora?) at reception that the flight home was pretty smooth and that I think she should visit America. It's especially nice in the spring, summer, fall or winter.

Thanks,
Mike
