superb experience
Travelled on 02/2026
the hotel is right in the city centre very close to the metro 3 and the river also. a great location. Clean rooms and very friendly staff. The breakfast is great with a huge variety of options. the breakfast room has a beautiful view of a neighbouring church and the river. The building itself is old and quirky - with a great atmosphere slightly old-fashioned - but the rooms themselves are completely modern. Highly re...

New year Budapest...
Travelled on 12/2025
Stayed in the City hotel matyas for 5 days, hotel was clean and basic, was cleaned every day and fresh towels. Bed was to hard for me but wide for a single bed.

Its great as was in the central in Budapest so the best... st...

City Hotel Matyas, Budapest, an incredible experience
Travelled on 09/2025
On September 22, 2025, the taxi driver who brought us from the airport showed us the entrance to the City Hotel Matyas, a heavy rusty iron door. It also had a tasteless sign very high up, which you dont see at first glance. We pushed the door open and found ourselves in front of a high-ceilinged dark corridor, with faded walls and a damaged floor. Ten steps preceded it, worn by the weather. Obviously, this is a 19th...
