Royal Park Boutique Hotel

Location of the hotel is great in terms of distance from Budapest city center and most of the major attractions.|Keleti Pályaudvar Metro station and bus stops are about 3 to 4 mins walk from the hotel.|There are fair bit of restaurants, cafes and general grocery stores are around.|This hotel is profoundly misleading, and fails to deliver on its most basic promises. The reality is a far cry from the advertised photos.|The carpets are stained and dirty all over the place. The room walls have visible dust. The (spring) beds are very poor and cheap. Basic amenities, like a kettle or adequate wardrobe space, were absent.|The most weird thing is one wall of the bathroom is of a transparent glass panel which is then covered with a shabby screen. I haven't seen this before in any hotels. The bathroom latch doesn't work, so couldn't lock it from inside. So using the bathroom was an awkward experience.|The most sad part of this hotel is the breakfast. Very basic menu but poorly presented, no enough variety, stale fruits and pastries, dry bread, over done scrambled eggs. Noticed fair few maggots flying around the fruits and bread. I could hardly eat anything.

The main selling point for this place is that it's cheap and close to multiple public transport lines, including the train station. The personnel were kind and helpful. They offer an underground parking space for cars and motorcycles; just be careful that it only fits smaller cars (something like an Audi A3 or Dacia Logan will fit just fine). The breakfast was good, a nice option for the price paid. The cons, unfortunately, are many. First of all, the rooms are small. The furniture is old and showing its age. Other guests didn't use it properly, and there were signs of wear and tear. The lights were bad. You needed to turn on all the lights to see something in the room. The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable; the mattress was too stiff and the pillows too soft. The air vent used for air conditioning and heating was filthy, filled with dust and never cleaned. The walls were dirty from older guests but never cleaned. There was limescale built up on the tap, sink, and shower. At night, the place can be sketchy. A lot of homeless people, loud noises. Keep an eye on your belongings and pay attention to people in the area. For a single night, it can be okay, I guess, but for more than that, you are better off looking somewhere else.

This is not a four star hotel. |Things that were broken....the hair dryer, the key card twice. The safe. The curtains, the phone, the fridge.|The staff on reception were rude.|The bathroom has a hand soap dispenser like the ones in public toilets. |We reported all the issues three times. They were never looked at. When we complained we were accused of lying about ever mentioning the issues.|Receptionists were rude and abrupt. |The breakfast was dreadful. Eggs cold, bacon raw....|For an apparent four star hotel there are no tea or coffee making facilities. |Avoid this place.

We booked this on a deal, so wasn't expecting much. It is definitely not a 4* as advertised. But it is absolurely fine to get your head down for a couple nights. Staff were courteous. Breakfast was fairly good with a good mixture of choice. Beds were not terribly uncomfortable. Bathroom was clean and everything you need. Id say it's on the edge of where you'd want to be. We jumped in an uber most days as they were cheap and far easier. Would recommend for a short stay

Nightmare from the second we walked in!! The smell alone as we entered the hotel was surely nothing but vile. The guy at the reception desk was not friendly at all. We paid for 4 star accommodation and I’ve seen cleaner student accommodation. We went to our room and was horrified to find a dirty bathroom with pubic hair, bugs and brown gunge in the bath. There was a screen between the bathroom and the bedroom which I found strange. Brown stains on the carpet and side of the bed. Looks like a previous vomit stain. I could go on but we quickly decided to checkout as there was fleas biting us on the legs . I wouldn’t give this place 1 star. Please do not be fooled by 4 star rating this hotel is a glorified hostel at least. We checked into a proper 4 star hotel and didn’t let this dump ruin our trip.

Disappointing and Misleading Location of the hotel is great in terms of distance from Budapest city center and most of the major attractions. Keleti Pályaudvar Metro station and bus stops are about 3 to 4 mins walk from the hotel. There are fair bit of restaurants, cafes and general grocery stores are around. The most sad part of this hotel is the breakfast. Very basic menu but poorly presented, no enough variety, stale fruits and pastries, dry bread, over done scrambled eggs. Noticed fair few maggots flying around the fruits and bread. I could hardly eat anything.

Location is great, about 5 minutes walk from the train station. We arrived late at night, got checked in, but we weren't given any information. The person just put the keycard on the counter and stared at us like why are we still there, that we should know where the elevators are just be default. We weren't able to lock the room, the soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken, there were holes in the sheets. Also saw a dead cockroach on the hallway floor. Definitely not a 4 star hotel... more like a last resort hotel.

How this hotel ever achieved a 4-star rating is beyond me! As a frequent traveller I have seen plenty of hotels and this is place is honestly a joke. Its filthy inside, the carpets and walls look dirty and are marked everywhere. The room we had was quite small and dirty with a bathroom that felt like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. The area is terrible, seedy and outright a disgraceful advertisement for Budapest. It’s full of vagrants drunks and beggars making it feel really unsafe. Shame on the Park Royal brands. It’s honestly a disgrace.
