Hilton Budapest, Budapest

We used Hilton points and were upgraded to the Executive Lounge which was fabulous. We arrived 12/20/2009 with 5 inches of snow. The hotel was extremely friendly, helpful and snug. The view from our window of the Danube, Parliament and Fisherman's Bastion was fabulous. I've read that other's found the exterior of the hotel ugly but I found it to be non-imposing next to St. Mathias Church and the Fisherman's Bastian. The concierge service was excellent. We left Budapest for Vienna and Prague and the Hilton Budapest was far superior to Hilton Vienna Stadtpark and Hilton Prague Old Town.

We have stayed here at least 9 times over a 10 year period. The hotel was built incorporating an old monastery and shares walls and some foundation so it is very well integrated into the surroundings. It is is the heart of the Castle District, next to an historic church, near the Palace and surrounded by cobblestone streets, authentic Hungarian restaurants and quiet times in the evening when all the sightseers have left. The hotel has an excellent Executive Lounge, the rooms are updated but still have much of the original wood interiors so lacking in modern hotels. The views are spectacular, looking over the Parliament across the river and offer a panoramic both up and down river. You can walk to the Lance Hid (famous Chain Bridge) or Moskva Ter (shopping center) in 10 mins. There is bus service near the hotel that takes you across the river to Pest and additional sightseeing. In, short, this is one of the best hotels for both being a tourist, conducting business and sharing a romantic weekend with your special person.

It was a beautiful place to see and hear about the city, the view was outstanding, it was also very modernized,we will indeed go back to this hotel,everyone was very hospitable.location of this hotel was very convenient,a short ride by taxi or tram down the hill if you like to walk.

i liked Hilton when i used it in Tokyo. being a gold member, i stayed in Hilton Westend, Budapest for 15 days. Location wise it is good. But service wise it is not. They failed to provide newspapers, snacks and other benefits that normally are alloted for gold card members. Caveat: read your membership details before checking in and make sure that you ask and confirm with them. Also, few of them know English. But fewer seemed to be polite. there is a children park at the back side. you can use it for kids.

This hotel located on the Buda side has a beautiful view of the city, but is overpriced and lacks the basics of good service to their guests. The hotel sits on a hill and is 10 minuets to the local bus then a 15 minute ride into town. You can take a cab, but let the buyer beware because the price seems to change in route! As all the restaurants know you are a tourist, so everything around the hotel is overpriced and mediocre. Bring lots of cash, no one will take a credit card!
