    This hotel is really very greatly located. It is perhaps a bit old regarding the rooms, as bathroom in my opinion has seen better days... Otherwise the room was ok as we had a room facing the river Donau... The only thing in our room was not so nice was the thin wall to the other room as we were able to hear their talking...

    ...Check in was adequate, but clearly my IHG Ambassador profile had not been read, as it states away from lifts, my room was next to main lobby of lifts and next to the service door/room so from 7am service trolleys were crashed against door to open it, this continued all day, you could not find a noisier room if you tried…on 2 out of 4 nights room was not cleaned by 4pm, so had to request room to be cleaned on both occasions... I’m flabbergasted to see some on here say what a great hotel this is, some even mention best in Budapest, well I have to question them, because this is far far away from any such thing, spend a night in the Ritz Carlton or Kempinski 2 mins away to get a decent service level and much better rooms, there are many hotels locally that offer far better service levels and rooms…... Spoke with rooms division director on the problems that arose during this 4 night stay, she shrugged her shoulders which seems a usual IHG response nowadays, but did say it’s a 400 room hotel so difficult to service, well that’s not my problem or any guest problem, if you can’t service the facility then close the doors or get a senior management team that can, because clearly there are problems here currently...

    ...However this time when I reached out to the hotel before our arrival to arrange for a roll-away bed, but really hoping for an upgrade to a room with a sofa bed, the hotel asked for 50 euro per night for the upgrade. 50 euro extra even though we are supposed to receive a room upgrade as part of the Ambassador program and we are also Diamond elite with IHG...

    ...Unfortunately, the staff at the reception were rather rude and denied to upgrade our room and give us one with river view, even though we had our wedding anniversary...

    ...There is also a tram stop right outside. Tram 2 and 23 will take you on a circle route with stops at Parliament building and the castle... Staff very helpful and the breakfast service was incredible... This is a hotel used by the river cruises so the breakfast area can be quite busy but there is sufficient seating...

    Fantastic position/location in Budapest, but that’s the end of good review, as this Intercontinental is not great in fact it’s bang average, firstly had booked private car via hotel to bring me to hotel, when arrived had to unload car and struggle to check in with cases and bags, all concierge staff were busy talking to each other and watched! Check in was adequate, but clearly my IHG Ambassador profile had not been read, as it states away from lifts, my room was next to main lobby of lifts and next to the service door/room so from 7am service trolleys were crashed against door to open it, this continued all day, you could not find a noisier room if you tried…on 2 out of 4 nights room was not cleaned by 4pm, so had to request room to be cleaned on both occasions... No tea/coffee amenities replaced over the whole 4 days Service in lobby bar is ridiculously slow, yet they add a large service charge to every item, so they really don’t care if giving poor service or not!... Spoke with rooms division director on the problems that arose during this 4 night stay, she shrugged her shoulders which seems a usual IHG response nowadays, but did say it’s a 400 room hotel so difficult to service, well that’s not my problem or any guest problem, if you can’t service the facility then close the doors or get a senior management team that can, because clearly there are problems here currently... Spa and pool area is good along with service in that area is good too, but same can’t be said for rest of hotel, appears to be living on past reputation and for 2022 it’s not acceptable when the competition is much much better, and that’s not just the fixtures and fittings it’s the service levels that are not where they should be, or anywhere near for that matter...

On our last day we were a bit later for breakfast and sent to the upstairs dining room... The service here was inferior and not everything was available... They do not have tea pots upstairs and if you want an omelette, be prepared for a long wait...

    ...The club lounge was amazing - great service and really good food. I will book this hotel again, when I visit Budapest next time... Review: I stayed at Intercontinental Budapest 3 night over New Year Eve... I arrived with taxi from the airport, which took about 25 min... The check-in at the hotel was a bit slow because of an issue in relation to the latest changes in the IHG program, but the staff was kind and helpful... The room was clean and the wifi was fast... I had access to the club lounge, where I had breakfast and before dinner drinks everyday... The food was really good and service was amazing... I will recommend to book a room with access to the club lounge... The club lounge reopened a month ago... I did not use the restaurants in the hotel, but they were really busy...

    Million dollar views of the Danube, Chain Bridge, and Castle complex. Easy walking distance to the main sites and hundreds of restaurants... Excellent soundproofing despite being right on the main drag... Plenty of closet and drawer space with 2 bed side tables with drawers, a desk and chairs... The bathroom had a tub/shower combo with an excellent shower... Counter space was limited, so a shelf to store personal toiletries would be appreciated... Beautiful, delicious breakfast buffet... We enjoyed an excellent meal at Adz restaurant...

I recommend Club Continental access... Quiet place to relax and unwind... Also catch up on your emails or receive a fax!... There are snacks during all day and canapés in the evening... The reception at the club can help with your sightseeing as well as locations of a great hair dresser!!...

    ...The communal areas are great but the rooms fall far short of 5*... The shower is powerful but you have to climb in and out of the elevated bath to use it... They still use shower curtains... The toilet seats are not soft close... The bathroom cannot be used by more than one person at a time... The toiletries are horrid little no name bottles that you can’t get anything out of; a place like this should have luxury items... Bed was very comfortable but pillows super soft... There are no where near enough plugs in the room, esp next to the bed where you would likely charge your phone... On the first day none of the coffees etc or toiletries we used were replenished... Overall, good location, nice communal areas, questionable customer service and dated rooms with tiny bathrooms...

    The Intercontinental Budapest may have the best view in the city! Our room was water front with views of Buda Castle and the Castle District... Well placed for Christmas Markets, the Chain Bridge and walking to the historical landmarks we never had to get on any buses or subway... Also very convenient to access the boat tours on the Danube... We had a family of four, and the room was large enough to meet our needs... Breakfast at the hotel was well appointed...

    ...Conclusion: It is an old fashion Intercontinental hotel with a great location. From the hotel you have a great view at the river and the castle... The club lounge was amazing - great service and really good food... I will book this hotel again, when I visit Budapest next time... It is next to the river and you can walk to all main attractions in Budapest... I got a room at 7th floor with an amazing view at the river and castle... The room was huge, but the bathroom was small... The furnitures in the room was old and the room will soon need to be renovated... The room was clean and the wifi was fast... I had access to the club lounge, where I had breakfast and before dinner drinks everyday... I will recommend to book a room with access to the club lounge... The club lounge reopened a month ago... I did not use the restaurants in the hotel, but they were really busy...

    Had the best time in Budapest and partly because this hotel is perfectly located with outstanding view of the palace and just across the Danube River. Great breakfast selections although the room decors are a bit outdated... It’s also located within walking distance to highly rated restaurants and Four Seasons and Marriott are in the same area... Front desk staff and housekeeping are very efficient... Was surprised to be offered breakfast to go since our flight was early ... The airport taxi is also reasonably priced and very efficient... Overall, you get good value for your money at intercontinental Budapest...

The breakfast is fantastic amd a great buffet as well as eggs or omelettes made to your liking... The location to walk to other places and restaurants is fantastic... I would definitely recommend staying here and think it’s the best option in Budapest...

    Stayed 1 night, 2 rooms, on Oct. big hotel right on river - great views from hotel and rooms (if book river side). Staff a bit curt if asked for any flexibility (like early check in, or coffee at 8:45 when they open at 9 am - “no”)... Both it restaurants were close for a few days while we were there (silly to close both at once for decoration renovation) but it’s easy walking distance to many places to eat... Rooms good size, location and condition (clean and classy) probably makes it worth the extra money...

We had a lovely time with such a warm welcome and excellent customer service. The upgrade with the view was so very thoughtful. It was certainly a highlight of our visit. We loved the breakfasts and the staff were extremely attentive. Brilliant concierge service and incredible location as we could walk everywhere and see everything on foot..there was also a tram service outside. And the beds are super comfortable

Hotel's Favorite
I only had one night in Budapest and of course had to stay at this incredible property. Once again was greeted by Istvan at the door and my IHG Platinum status was recognized at check-in. Beautiful King Deluxe room with a sofa to sit and enjoy the incredible views of the river which at night are even more brilliant. I had been travelling constantly since I arrived in Vienna two nights before and enjoyed a short nap on the comfortable bed and then a short workout in the well-equipped fitness center. A friend met me at the hotel and we had a short walk to St. Stephen's Basilica to have dinner at a restaurant in the square. The next morning had a short walk by the river and bought some souvenirs and then took a Bolt for the short ride to Keleti train station. I will look forward to returning next year for another visit, hopefully for more than one night! Thanks to General Manager Martin Schoenrock and his excellent staff for a wonderful stay!

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights. I made the reservation about 1.5 months in advance and was able to book a Grand Castle Suite with a River View facing the Danube, the castle, and the Chain Bridge. Our rate included breakfast on the ground floor and access to the Club Lounge on the 1st floor. I did not use the gym nor spa so I cannot comment on those. I really wanted to have a drink at the hotel bar with a Rubik’s cube, but didn’t get to do that during this trip. The view from our room was stunning. We were on the 7th floor and the view of the Danube, the Chain Bridge, and Buda side took my breath away. The windows go from wall to wall in the main living area. I didn’t want to check out and wished we had booked a week in Budapest instead of only 3 nights. This was an incredibly comfortable room due to the spectacular view and the spaciousness of the suite. We had 2 children with us, so one slept on the couch (with a sheet on it and pillow) and we requested a roll away bed for the other child. There was still plenty of space for a desk. We had solid door separating the children from the bedroom with a King Bed and the bathroom. We were given welcome snacks of nuts and dried fruits and a very cute marzipan Rubiks Cube. The king size bed was very comfortable. We slept so well each night. The curtains are excellent at keeping out light. I do think the curtains are a bit hard to open and close. The bathroom was on the small side but it was fine. The toiletries in the bathroom were by Byredo in the Bal D’Afrique scent. I love that hotels are doing away with tiny bottles because they are so wasteful, hard to open, and squeeze out. The large pump bottles in the shower and at the sink are such an efficient idea, and I’m glad more and more hotels are doing this, because they can invest in nicer quality brands. There was plenty of hot water. There is that annoying half door on the shower, which I still don’t understand- hotels like this because it saves the cleaning lady time? The bathroom floor gets wet easily where there is only half a door on the shower. Won’t that over time create mold on the floor, which will add time and expense to clean in the long run? There are washcloths in the bathroom (you can’t assume European hotels give washcloths so it’s always a pleasant surprise) and thick white bathrobes. Breakfast: I have to highlight Zsofia, an outstanding waitress at breakfast. Zsofia remembered us and served us our exact coffee order without even us even asking. I was so pleasantly surprised and thankful. Zsofia was friendly, efficient, and did an outstanding job. Breakfast foods included wide variety of items such as: Made to order omelettes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, fresh vegetables, fresh cut up fruit (not mixed together) which is my favorite way to serve fruit (Fresh grapefruit slices!), a wide variety of cheeses, pastries, breads, gluten free bread, fresh juices, yogurt, pork bacon, 2 types of sausages, mini hot dogs, mushrooms, hash browns, and even a little Lebanese corner where you could find some Mediterranean type of breakfast dishes (I loved the olive salad). The tea selection was all by Ronnefeldt Tea, which was lovely. They had vegan milk options for cappuccinos and teas which was really nice. Seating at breakfast is lovely- if you arrive early enough or just get lucky, you can have a window seat where you overlook the Danube. Breakfast is located in the Lebanese restaurant in the hotel. On weekends, around 9 AM, breakfast is crowded and there can be a line to be seated. Seats were completely full on a Sunday morning and we were told to sit in the bar area if we didn’t want to wait, which ended up being very nice, actually- one just had to walk back and forth a bit farther. Location: The location of the hotel is outstanding. Being on the Pest side, we were able to walk to the Christmas Market at Vörösmarty Square and we could walk to Elizabeth Square, where the Ferris Wheel is located. We used Bolt (via the app) to get to restaurants in the Jewish Quarter (I recommend Mazel Tov) and to City Park for ice skating and the baths. Bolts can easily access the hotel’s drive up entrance for drop off. Transportation: From the airport, we simply walked outside up to the FoTaxi counter, and paid at the counter, and were immediately assigned to a specific FoTaxi to get to the InterContinental. It was easy, efficient, and only 11680 FT (about $33 USD) one way from the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International airport to the hotel in a station wagon type of taxi. This was a lower price than the hotel car (which would have been about 100 Euros in a Mercedes V Class). When we went back to the airport for our departure flight, we simply ordered a Bolt on our app, and it was able to pull up in front of the hotel entrance. Club: The club lounge view is fantastic. It’s located on the 1st floor. They have looseleaf Ronnefeldt Tea. The staff there are excellent as well. Hotel Restaurant: We ate at the Lebanese restaurant in the hotel one afternoon and the food, service and view were all fantastic. The Intercontinental was able to give us an early check in and late check out to accommodate our flights which was extremely helpful. I called about a week in advance of our arrival to inquire about this and the woman speaking with me was so helpful. I absolutely loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again and recommend it. Try and get a room with a view because it’s worth it. Budapest is a magical city this hotel was a wonderful place to rest while exploring.

We stayed with InterConti Budapest for 2-nights and both were very satisfying. We were well.cared for and the employees were always cheerful, especially Victor whom we chatted with both mornings at the breakfast area. Good location in front of the river with all the sights nearby. Room was spacious with comfortable bed and choice of pillow plus a big barhroom. A big breakfast spread with endless selection.

The location of the hotel is awesome. It is a must to book with river view with a great view to the castle at the top of the Buda mountain. Nice gym and pool and steam bath. Excellent breakfast buffet and recommend the Lebanese food in the restaurant. The tram is passing just outside the hotel and the metro and city center is very close. The rooms are a bit old fashioned but well maintained.

I stopped by this hotel for a drink on my way back to the Castle after a walk down the hill and just after crossing the bridge. It’s an elegant place, old fashioned palace, timeless feel, yet it remains very charming. The ambiance reminded me of a hotel lobby in Las Vegas. The employees were very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, seated on a sofa with cocktails, enjoying a view of the castle lit up at night. I really appreciated the atmosphere and recommend that even those not staying at the hotel take a break here to enjoy its cozy ambiance.

The location of this hotel is perfect - within walking distance of so many sights, and my room had a wonderful river view that showcased the Buda side in its glory. The hotel is well-maintained, but it's starting to become dated. The service is excellent with everyone wanting to ensure my stay was as best as it could be. The laundry service was also very fast and well done.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at this hotel. You can definitely tell that this hotel targets the higher end of the market and it very much lives up to that. My room was a classic double and it was extremely spacious and comfortable. The provisions in the room were excellent. Importantly, the daily cleaning of the room was very good and I was pleased to see that the cleaners made it look immaculate every day. My only very small criticisms of the room were that there was no bottle-opener provided to open the bottles in the minibar and the bathroom had an old-fashioned shower curtain instead of a glass screen - but that's being extremely picky. The communal areas of the hotel were very clean and aesthetically impressive and it made you feel good to be a guest there. I'd also like to thank the staff for the excellent service I received throughout my stay - everyone from reception to the restaurant to the spa staff was welcoming, professional and helpful. The hotel swimming pool is a lovely touch. It's small (it felt full with three people in it) but I really appreciated being able to go for a swim and to use a clean, modern and well-provisioned changing room. Thank you to everyone at the Intercontinental Budapest for making my stay excellent and memorable.

The view was spectacular from our 9th floor room. Buda at night is a dreamy romantic panorama. The bed was luxurious with premium linens and the bath products high end. Absolutely do not skip breakfast. There were choices galore - including a middle eastern station with homemade hummus. It was one of the best buffets we've ever had. .
