Park Plaza Budapest

Great Location, Scenic Views, and Warm Hospitality We stayed at Park Plaza Budapest for two nights and really enjoyed our time there. The best part was the location — it's right by the Danube and within walking distance of landmarks like the Parliament, Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church, and the Chain Bridge. At night, the view of the Parliament from the balcony was absolutely stunning. The front desk staff were outstanding. They warmly welcomed us and even upgraded us to a room with a balcony and river view, which made our stay extra special. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a bath tub and a simple tea/coffee setup (just an electric kettle and a few tea/coffee options). Parking was easy — we parked right in front of the hotel on the street. Since we stayed over the weekend, it was free. On weekdays, parking is paid but can be managed via the EasyPark app. There were about 15 spaces available, and we had no problem finding one on Sunday. The hotel offers a filtered cold water dispenser in the lobby, which was a small but appreciated touch during the warm days. As for breakfast, it was okay but quite basic and not really worth the €18 price. There are plenty of cafés and pastry shops nearby that offer better value for breakfast. Overall, Park Plaza Budapest is a great choice if you’re looking for a clean, well-located hotel with excellent staff and fantastic views.

The best thing about this hotel is definitely the view of the Parliament. The breakfast wasn’t bad either and the staff at the bar were really kind. However, as many said before, I also got the impression that this hotel needs a deep renovation immediately. Yes, it might be much cheaper than other hotels, but I never expected to see mold on the bathroom ceiling… Dirty tea cups in the room, chipping walls, stains on the carpet and mold in the bathroom made me feel like I visited some very cheap hostel rather than a 4* hotel.

Hotel was brilliantly located. The amenities were good and the breakfast was good. The hotel was located by the Danube, opposite was the Parliament building, the castle was behind. The staff was helpful. The room was spacious. The only niggle I would have is the carpet is a bit dated, and the hot water for a shower takes time to warm. Overall really good

Came to Budapest for the first time on vacation with family. For the most part the staff was friendly, kind, informative and welcoming. They made suggestions of where to eat, sites to see and the easiest ways to get around the area. However there was one young lady that was at the reception desk that seem to be bothered or annoyed anytime I went to her with a concern or question. With a little extra training I'm sure that guests would feel more welcomed.

Had a great stay at the Park Plaza. Centrally located near the Chain bridge near to local tourist attractions, shops, and restaurants. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious, bright, and clean with the necessary amenities, mini fridge, safe, and ironing board. Bathroom, powerful shower with complimentary toiletries and very large towels. Housekeeping was daily. Adequate sockets and large TV. Breakfast was very good, a selection of both continental and cooked breakfast. It was great to have baked beans. This is not served daily. Friendly and attentive staff. Good facilities gym and spa (sauna) Bistro bar served both drinks and food, staff could have been more friendly but didn't distract from the overall good service of the hotel. WiFi was reliable and easily accessible. Solo traveller felt safe throughout the trip. Would highly recommend hotel. 😎👍

Response to reply: they hotel mentioned they offered to change us rooms, and it was right beside ours, which the staff even mentioned wouldn't make a difference. Blatant lying. Be careful booking here. Hotel advertises air conditioning, however, they control it centrally and depending on where you're staying, they admit they only have one fan and it doesn't push the air to the other side of the building. Due to a medical reason in our group, this forced us to check out after one night of a seven day stay, and wouldn't give us a refund for the other nights, not even partially. Rooms are also in a state of needing repair.

5 star for the location and the view from the danube view rooms. However, one star for the room. Extremely old and dirty carpet, out dated room with cracking doors etc. Air conditioner did not work and only offered to send a fan. Terrible room and fixtures for a 4-star hotel.

Based on a previous positive experience, I chose to stay at Park Plaza again — unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. This time, I was given a much smaller room that was dark, worn-out, and had a musty smell. It was a stark contrast to my earlier visit. Be aware that there seems to be a significant inconsistency between rooms, and it’s easy to end up disappointed. Given the number of excellent hotels in Budapest, I would recommend looking elsewhere.||The location was great: calm, clean and safe. Close to the metro station, restaurants and the castle.
