After reading rather unfavorable opinions I was prepared for not the greatest stay. Fortunatelly, I was suprised, pleasently! Even though decoration is definitely outdated the room and hotel in general were more than enough. There is aircondition, working very well (remote control on bail 20 euro), the room was clean, bathroom utilities in order. Breakfast simple but good. The only disadavntage for me was lack of fresh vegetables or fruit. Location is also advantage, easy to get by car and then leave the city, close to bus stop to go for sightseeing.The staff was professional and helpful (we communicated in english). I truly recommend!

Extremely outdated property, worst beds (if you can call it a bed) I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Shower although hot and powerful, if you are over 90kg wouldn’t get in it. Air con ramped up to 25 and no controls to change, you have to rent a controller at 20€ to adjust. No seating or lounge area at the worst bar ever, breakfast was disgusting, bread, cheese and ham, worst scrambled egg ever, no toaster. No food available at any other time of day, no facility to use at bar.

War in Ordnung. Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber und funktional. Nettes Personal, das fließend Englisch spricht. Zum Duschen und Schlafen perfekt. Busse fahren fast vor dem Hotel bis zum Bahnhof Keleti, man sollte sich aber gleich bei der Ankunft in Budapest mit ausreichend Bustickets eindecken, weil die Automaten spärlich gesät sind.

Raam kon niet dicht dus ze hebben het dicht geschroefd, raam kon dus niet meer open.
Alles was te vies om aan te pakken. Bedden lig je en breuk in en we zijn met gierende banden zonder ontbijt vertrokken aangezien dat nog erger was dan erg.

Das Einzig Positive ist, dass es eine Tiefgarage gibt und die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel im der Nähe sind.
Der Empfang war enttäuschend, zuerst wurde die Buchung nicht gefunden, es dauerte alles sehr lange, bis uns endlich die Tiefgarage geöffnet wurde. In der Tiefgarage musste man mit Handylicht gehen.
Zimmer waren wie vor 100 Jahren eingerichtet. Wir hatten auch nicht ein Zimmer wie abgebildet im Hauptgebäude sondern in einem Nebengebäude. Der Durchgang war unheimlich. Definitiv keine Unterkunft für Familien mit Kinder. 2 Tage höchstens
Frühstück keine Auswahl. Kaffee schlecht, eine Sorte Schinken und Käse.

Hotel Bara in tutti i sensi 😖
Stanza 342 molto piccola per due(sotto tetto)piccole finestre,non ideale per chi sofre di claustrofobia!Pavimento usurato in parquet.Ogni volta che usi il mini armadio devi spostare sedia e tavolino.Il bagno senza finestra,con piccolo buco senza aspiratore,non c’è il bidè(so qui non usano) ma almeno la doccia telefono!!! Se usi il bagno devi farti la doccia.Hotel molto grande,ideale per scolaresche,ne sono errivate 3,tutti italiani,baccano e casino,con ragazzi che corrono e urlano sui corridoi fini alle ore 2,poi sono uscito io a reclamare un po’ di silenzio(invano)per dormire tappi alle orecchie!Parcheggio coperto a 3.000 fiorini al giorno che,poi si sono”trasformati in 10 euro(?)Staff cortese bilingue,no italiano.Colazione buffet variabile,abbondante,forse migliorabile.In conclusione NON RITORNERÒ IN QUESTO HOTEL!

Die Kaution von 20 Euro für die Klimaanlage fand ich als super tolle Idee. Wer halt kein Klimaanlage will, muss es nicht anhaben und Energie verschwenden. Wer aber doch, bekommt einfach am Ende das Geld zurück :)

Hôtel loin du centre-ville de Budapest
Hôtel de qualité très moyenne, loin du centre-ville dans une rue très bruyante 24 heures sur 24. Maintenance laissant à désirer, le mini frigo ne fonctionnait pas, les murs pas très propres, l'évacuation de la douche très lente, ils demandent une caution pour avoir la commande de l'air conditionné les serviettes ne sont changées que tous les 3 jours, sinon il faut payer, la seule chaîne de télé française n'a fonctionné que 30 secondes. Transports en commun nécessaires pour se déplacer.

Pas mal mais...
L'hôtel est sympa dans l'ensemble mais il n'est pas extraordinaire... En point positif : la propreté de la chambre et le confort. Par contre : le personnel n'est pas très accueillant ; l'isolation n'est pas au point ; le petit-déjeuner est très moyen, avec peu de choix, pas de lait chaud ni de possibilité de réchauffer, et un jus de fruit qui n'a pas grand chose à voir avec des fruits (goût de Tang pour ceux qui connaissent...) ; et au niveau de la literie, il y a juste un drap sur les matelas et il est trop petit, ce qui fait que le matin, on se retrouve sur le matelas directement (voir photo)...
Bref, ce n'est pas le pire hôtel du monde mais il y a mieux, surtout pour le prix...

Das Bett war OK und ich konnte dort schlafen. Ansonsten war die Ausstattung sehr schlicht. Duschkopf fiel aus der Halterung, Schlauch war außen beschädigt. Spender für Waschgel nur beim Waschbecken. Heizung war entweder Vollgas oder nicht, bei Kollegen war im Zimmer der Regelknauf überhaupt abgebrochen und sie konnten den Heizkörper gar nicht regeln. Der Vorhang konnte das Fenster nicht richtig abdecken, ich musste mit Schlafmaske schlafen. Die Zimmer waren recht hellhörig, daher waren für mich Ohrenstöpsel ebenso ein Muss. Das inkludierte Frühstück war essbar, aber ebenso einfach gehalten wie das restliche Hotel. Gesamteindruck: sehr spartanisch-funktional, und dabei sind einzelne Dinge auch teilweise defekt. Ich werde dort nicht mehr übernachten.
Gut hingegen war der Ballroom / Veranstaltungssaal. Ich war bei einem Tanzfestival dort und für die Veranstaltung selbst war der Raum total in Ordnung.

Mindre trevlig vistelse
Enkelt och rätt billigt hotell en bit upp på Buda-sidan. Krävdes att man fann en lokalbuss för att kunna ta sig dit utan taxi; 8E, 110 och 112 gick frekvent från centrala stan och stannade just utanför hotellet. Wi-fi fungerade inte på hela tiden jag var där, och trots påpekanden vid ett par tillfällen fick de inte igång det. Frukosten var inget vidare; det fanns få eller inga internationellt vanliga rätter förutom bröd, det mesta var olika ungerska rätter som oftast inte uppskattas i Västeuropa: varma stuvningar eller grytor, pastasallad med smält ost, inlagda saker som var svåra att definiera, mm. Pålägg som ost och korv såg inte aptitliga ut. Hotellet var också extremt lyhört; ljudnivån från såväl trafiken som grannarna var betydande. Allt som allt knappast värt det litet lägre priset.

Terrible!!!
We booked a few weeks before our stay. We called ahead and asked for a late check-out on our departure because we were racing the half marathon. They said yes in principle, but check when you get to the hotel. We checked in and asked again about late check-out and were told, yes, it's ok and will be 10 EUR extra. Upon leaving in the morning of our last day (to the race), we asked again (to be sure) about the late check-out, to which they told us that no room was available and that it wasn't 10 EUR to have this service, but 50% of the room rate.. We needed the room to shower after the race.. This is very bad service from them.
The rooms were hot and very noisy because of the main road next to the hotel. The bed we had resembled a sofa bed with a sheet thrown over the top. The rooms are not cleaned very well either.
Breakfast after 08:30 is terrible, burners or the hot food trays are turned off, so food is cold, bland and not the best selection.
Would never say here again.
