The staff were amazing from the moment we got there. Nothing was too much trouble. It was my husbands 40th birthday whilst we were there and when we got back from our morning out there was a birthday cake waiting for him. Great for safely storing our luggage when we arrived and day of departure. The bus stop right outside the hotel means you can get into the city centre in 10 minutes and a 3 day pass was approx £10pp and we well and truly got our money’s worth of use over the 3 days.

Amazing breakfast, nice pool

I think this was one of the best hotels in Budapest at that price level. I frequently travel to Budapest for work. For me opening hours of pool and wellness are wonderful (closes at 23:00 which is ideal for me as I only have time for sport in the evening). Breakfast selection was amazing, there was a juicer to squeeze your own juice. I will definitely return again

The room was spacious and clean but the bathroom and toilet were separate and very small but adequate for the job at hand. Although there was a small cooler fridge in the room there were no complimentary water or soft drinks but they had complimentary tea and coffee..on the whole it was a pleasant stay the staff were very polite and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel. Food was fantastic too.

The staff were exceptional. Friendly and accommodating. The hotel is 10 minute bus ride to the city. Only thing is the air conditioning does not work towards the end of May because its still chilly outside and they don't consider it summer, but it does get muggy in the room without air if you don't open the window, which only opens a little.

Basic hotel

Novotel Budapest offers a convenient location, but the overall experience was underwhelming. The room was basic, with beds that lacked comfort and support. The bathroom was extremely small, with very limited space around the basin for toiletries. Breakfast was average, with a modest selection that didn’t stand out.
