MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall

Customer service was really good, very hospitable, warmly welcomed us and always ready to answer any questions we asked . The check in time is 3pm but room was ready when we arrived and offered us for early check in, which was very convenient. Room was clean, spacious but not really sound proofed. We heard the footsteps from upstairs and around us, but in night time was quiet, so not really bothering to us . Breakfast was ok , a bit crowded because of the holidays season. Variety of choices and standard buffet breakfast. Private pay parking is next to the hotel. Great location for good price .

I had a very good experience at the MEININGER Hotel Budapest. Our room was clean, comfortable and cosy, and overall the conditions were excellent. The customer service was impeccable, all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and gave us great recommendations about the city. A special mention to Eurico, who was absolutely 5 stars! The only negative point I would mention is that there was occasionally a slight sewage smell in the room. Apart from that, everything was great and I would definitely stay in a MEININGER hotel again in the near future.

Nice hotel, but there were some odd issues, such as mold in the bathroom. Even though it looked quite new, it wasn’t really clean. One morning, the fire alarm went off very early. People were running downstairs from all floors in their pajamas, and when we arrived downstairs, the receptionist said, “Nothing happened!” There was no apology, and nothing was mentioned about it in the following days. When we asked at reception on the day we were leaving, the staff member only said, “Yeah, everything was fine…”. As for the kitchen facilities, they were very minimal. Only three cups for all guests? That felt very poor.

When I visit Budapest I usually stay at Meininger Great Market Hall -- the location is great (close to everything but not in a noisy party area), the property is modern, clean. Overall an excellent value, in my opinion. Good breakfast too, lots of choices, though kinda bland (no specifically "Hungarian" options like local style spicy sausages or salami).

Great hotel with great location and very good price quality ratio. The staff is amazing and super helpful. The rooms are well equipped, I would've liked a double bed but all the rooms have twin beds. Also they have a system so you can only use the lift if you have a room card, which is very safe. The hotel is close to several bus, tram and metro stops. I can only recommend this place, it was a lovely stay.

I booked a 2-night stay in a female only dorm. Upon arrival the staff were friendly and very accommodating for my requests. The room was spacious with lots of lighting options so even someone was asleep you could turn on a light and see without disturbing the others. The temperature controls worked and the en suite had separate water closet, shower room, and vanity so people can get ready without getting in each other's way. Such a bonus! Close the market hall and public transportation. I'd stay there again next time in the city.

Two stars because it has flaws. You cant pay with cash at all. It said its a hotel but its a hostel with hostel beds. The matresses are not flat and you roll. The pillows? Horrible got a neck pain they are way too high. One of the staff asked us for money for luggage hold another didnt. A staff member entered our room while sleeping at 8 am. Its cold in the hotel lobby. The air conditioning is bad and doesnt work as well. What else, there was a terible plumbing smell in the bathroom it disipated after a while but still. Kinda chaos at breakfast with kids running wild and no one on the staff telling people to be more carefull. Also we arrived late at night and the staff took a looong time just to check us in, they were not operative like other hotels. Sure it has good parts as well its clean sure and the breakfast is good even if not as diverse still it has good food. But its the little things that add up that make it uncomfortable. And yes if we knew its a hostel our expectations would be lower so i would have gave it 4 stars because for a hostel is ok but for a pretense hotel, well no for the money we paid. I guess if you dont mind all the things ive said its a good experience. It just has too many flaws. Also its kids friendly but they make too much noise at other respectable hotels they would tell the parents to tone it down. So we had to wait in the lobby at it was so cold that even with our winter jackets it was cold Also people dont enter the front door but the side door to check in all the time because of poor organization so they disturb the people in the lounge also its winter, cold air with low heating in the lobby.

Positives - great location, staff were friendly and good size room. Negatives - extremely noisy outside at night until past 2am, not necessarily the hotels fault but did affect our stay. Also if we shut the windows the aircon is on but wouldn’t stay on a lower temperature so it became too hot. Kitchen could have been cleaner (extractor fan had loads of dust on) and twice I had to go to reception as one time there were no forks or spoons, the second time no mugs. This should be checked by staff more regularly. Rooms could also have been cleaner - multiple long black head hairs on the bed / floor and some dust on the shelves.
