Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has had some renovations but still a bit dated, which is fine by me just some pictures don’t represent that well but the room was nice and clean. Breakfast buffet was good, lots of selection. The only downside was we were not informed that the hotel restaurant was closed for the weekend prior to arrival or upon arrival. Overall great stay!

A great find in Budapest!!

A really lovely 3 star hotel on the Bufa aidw of the city, just a short distance from all the main attractions of the city. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the on site restaurant was excellent.

Great stay at Charles Hotel

The best thing about the Hotel Charles is the Bus stop Meszaros Utca which is right in front of the Hotel coming from downtown. Going to downtown, bus stop Meszaros utca is right across the street from the Hotel. Breakfast was great, room is huge and very spacious. We loved the little kitchen area. However it is a very old Hotel, but is is well maintained, If you are looking for space, this is for you., If you are looking for grand and modern, this is not for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, and we also used their laundry facilities which was a plus.

The three room studio was spacious and good enough for our stay. The front desk staff was attentive and helpful, and tried hard to give us information about the hotel and amenities. The room, however, is old and lacking a few essential elements. There were only a few working electrical outlets, so we had to unplug the bedside lamps to charge our phones and plug in the kettle. The kitchen had no outlets, so you couldn’t plug anything in there. Overall, the spaciousness was nice but the hotel is old and shows a lot of west and tear.

Chambre à rénové mais service impeccable

A prime abord, on s'aperçoit que l'appartement est figĂ©e dans le temps (annĂ©e50-60). Aucune rĂ©novation, peinture, et division incomprĂ©hensible. Portes et murs inutiles. La coutellerie Ă©tais toute dĂ©pareillĂ© et batterie de cuisine vieillie. Cuisine de 135X135cm. Douche dans un bain connectĂ© au lavabo!!! Matelas Ă  changĂ© car accottĂ© sur le sommier. Par contre, la propretĂ© Ă©tais au rendez-vous. De plus, le service est exceptionnel en particulier l'homme qui nous a accuelli le jour de notre arrivĂ©e le 09 Octobre (nous n'avons pas notĂ© son nom). ExtrĂȘmement bruyant si on laisse la fenĂȘtre ouverte.

The front desk staff are amazing. The transportation arrangement the hotel books for guest is also great. The only reason for low rating was the beds were not made everyday. when you are on vacation that is one of the perks you look for. Also the sheets were coming off the mattress showing that the mattress was badly stained. It makes it hard to sleep on as you feel unhygienic. Bus stop is right across the street.

Very good value for money! We had a lovely room with a view. It’s really close to an Aldi, which is very convenient. Good public transport near. Great budget hotel. Only “bad” things were: - the pillows were really big. We couldn’t sleep on them and just used cushions - a little bit old fashioned decor and furniture - Wi-Fi was a tad slow (not as fast as 4G) Overall, a great stay - very reasonable price. Staff were fantastic.
