Courtyard By Marriott Budapest City Center

“Good location, poor AC”

I had to rate an otherwise 5 star hotel just a 4 due to the AC system. The Courtyard is in a great location.

I had to rate an otherwise 5 star hotel just a 4 due to the AC system. The Courtyard is in a great location. There are tram stops and subway stops right there and the New York Cafe just down the street. No problem at all seeing the sites of Budapest if this is your hotel. There’s even a McDonald’s across the street and a mall next door. Staff (front desk, housekeeping, and restaurant) was very good and friendly. Wifi worked perfectly. Breakfast was the best we’ve had at any of the 4 hotels on our tour of Central Europe. The AC was not very good. They suggest you set the thermostat between 17° and 24° C (about 62° to 75° F). To get our room comfortable we had to lower it to 13° (55°). Since there’s only a setting and no temp readout you really don’t know what the temperature is (but I guarantee it wasn’t 55°). The Fitness Center was a bit of a disappointment for such a large hotel. Three treadmills and just a little bit of other equipment. The temperature was set below 10° (50°) and it still felt like a hot box. One nice feature is a free sauna & steam room. I had planned to try out the sauna, but running on the treadmill turned out to be the same thing. I know I’ve dwelled too much on AC, but I just wanted to make travelers aware of that one drawback. All in all, I would definitely be willing to stay there again. Everything else was first rate.

“Comfortable long-stay”

This was our third time and it was, again, amazing. Excellent value for money when it comes to both accommodation and breakfast. The only negative was this time that our doors was knocked multiple times when the DND sign was out. It was to sign a bill from the restaurant, but still, in my opinion... more

The only negative was this time that our doors was knocked multiple times when the DND sign was out. It was to sign a bill from the restaurant, but still, in my opinion, DND sign should be respected. Otherwise, everything was amazing.

As the name suggests, the Hotel is right in the centre of the city surrounded by lot of shops , malls, eating places and metro stations. Rooms are clean and well done up. Meets the expectations of the Courtyard brand. Our request for an early check-in was accepted and room was kept ready when we walked in. Check-in process was smooth and fast. Front office staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Mr. Peter and his lady colleague in the front office who were very helpful to us in particular. Our request for pick up from the Central station and early morning drop off to the airport was met by arranging for taxis on time. In-house Restaurants are good but have very limited options for vegetarians. However, their buffet breakfast spread is very good and they do have varieties for the vegetarians also. There is a Pizza place round the corner which is very good and open almost 20 hours a day.
