Hotel Rum Budapest

Excellent location in the heart of the city and very affordable compared to other hotels in this location. Someone was on staff 24/7 and our room was cleaned each day. Each request we made was promptly completed. Hotel itself is not as polished as others I have stayed at, which is why I gave it 4/5 stars. We did NOT get the breakfast, and from other reviews it does not sound like we missed out at all!

We stayed at Hotel Rum for 4 nights, we had breakfast included which was with a fantastic rooftop view, 2 drinks and one breakfast option from their menu. The Room was spacious (gold rum) - cleaned everyday. The staff were very polite and helpful. Overall would definitely recommend for a trip to Budapest.

**A Convenient Stay with a Okay Breakfast Experience** My partner and I stayed at Hotel Rum for three nights in September 2025 and were generally pleased with our visit, rating it 4 out of 5 stars. The hotel’s location is a major plus. It is very convenient, situated near a metro station and only a 10-to-15-minute walk from the main tourist attractions. The surrounding areas are pedestrian-friendly, making it a very pleasant area for exploring on foot. Our room was a good size with a comfortable bed, and the bathroom was spacious. The check-in and check-out processes were both smooth and hassle-free, which was much appreciated. However, the breakfast experience was a significant letdown. We had opted for the breakfast-included package, but quickly discovered that the rooftop restaurant offers a distinctly different, superior menu for a la carte customers. This differentiation left guests who had prepaid for breakfast feeling like a lower priority. The policy is disappointing and something the hotel should reconsider to provide a more welcoming and consistent experience for all guests. Overall, Hotel Rum is a solid choice—functional and boutique-ish, but lacking that special something that would make it a truly memorable stay. While it met all the basic needs, it didn't leave us with a strong desire to return. For our next visit to Budapest, we will likely try a different property.

We stayed here for three nights. The room was comfortable and spacious, the location was nice (not in the super touristy area). Lots of restaurants around. The staff were helpful with bookings and communicated well prior to arrival and during our stay. I was appreciative of the coffee machine which was replenished daily with coffee pods. The breakfast room view is fabulous and so is the breakfast. We ate at Salt one night and the price brought salty tears to my eyes. It was a lovely experience but in my opinion very overpriced. The room decor is starting to show signs of wear for example a chipped tile in the bathroom and a crack in the bathroom floor. There are also a few stair treads that need attention. These are all simple things to sort so hopefully the maintenance team will action them. This is the reason for my four stars not five (and perhaps a smile on arrival by the receptionist would have been nice). ||I would recommend this hotel.

Great location for visiting the main shopping area/Fashion St, the Christmas markets and the river. Airport shuttle (€6) each way has a stop a 3/4 minute walk away. Kalvin Ter is a transport hub and is 3/4 mins away. Friendly staff but the breakfast included for B&B in ‘Solid’ is a bit pretentious. Lovely food, a la carte menu, but any extra tea, juice, etc is all charged. Does hot water and a few tea leaves really warrant that?||We stayed 2 nights and room was serviced after night one. The loo roll had 6 sheets left but wasn’t refreshed which was disappointing. Used their box of tissues instead. Bed firm and comfortable. Pillows a bit less robust than I would’ve liked. Room clean but only 1 side of bed accessible in a medium sized room. ||Would choose again if I return to Budapest.

I had a lovely stay here with my daughter and the location was perfect for exploring Budapest. The room was clean and a good size for a city centre hotel and it was quiet and peaceful. I have read a lot of reviews about the friendly staff but I didn’t find this to be the case. They were efficient and polite but no more and didn’t ask us if we had had a nice stay when we checked out and didn’t respond when we said goodbye as we left or acknowledged us when we arrived back each day. A small thing overall but not an attitude I am used to from staff at other hotels I have stayed at around the world.

Glass bathroom wall / sliding door not suitable for family with teenager. Room wasnt prepared for 3 on arrival. It was late so son slept in another room for first night. Housekeeping came into room early next morning without knocking, presumably to make up the third bed. Breakfast was ok, good views. We only went to breakfast twice. Server at breakfast welcomed us on last morning with an explanation we were late (9:30, breakfast runs until 10). He explained you had to be at breakfast the same time each morning, which is an odd arrangement. As it happened we had arranged 9:30 on first morning. Checkout was straightforward. Iron and ironing board delivered promptly when we asked for an iron. Room was clean.

Very clean and nice staff. Some of the rooms are very small, just be clear when you book. We were able to move rooms. Breakfast was okay, but the view spectacular and such a lovely way to start the day. I highly recommend
