Would stay here again
Travelled on 10/2025
I booked with lastminute and was pleasantly surprised. I do not understand people moaning about the irony railings and old lift. It's authentic not some boring gutted building like everything else in the world. Please keep the soviet style lift my friend and I loved it. It's a part of history now.
I found the hotel spotless and the room was huge. Fab location and really lovely staff. Aircon was a bonus, didn't...

A gret place to stay in Budapest.
Travelled on 10/2025
This is a charming, quirky hotel. Built in 1904, it was originally owned by a brewer then became a restaurant, now it is a hotel. Part of the hotel does not have a lift, so if you have mobility issues let them know in advance of your arrival.
My room was not large but it was clean and warm with a shower in the bathroom. Free wi-fi and a flat screen television with English, German, French and Italian channels availab...

City Hotel Matyas, Budapest, an incredible experience
Travelled on 09/2025

Good Location, limited Air Con
Travelled on 05/2025
Wont turn the air conditioning on unless it's June we were told even though temperature was 29 degree celsius during the day, reception said to open the windows but you can hear the traffic all night so we couldn't do that so had uncomfortable nights sweating (we were on ground floor so maybe won't be too bad in the upper floor). Otherwise location is great by the bridge and attractions, clean, we got connected rooms...

Great location, very dated and tired hotel with comfy beds
Travelled on 04/2025
The outside of the building is impressive, lovely old doorways and windows etc. The location is great for sightseeing etc
The bed was comfy and the room was clean. However the interior of the hotel needs some renovation.
The reception area seems to be from 1980s and lacks any character at all. The guy who welcomed us was helpful, chatty and friendly. However all other reception staff didn't even get eye contact, le...
