Hotel Baross - Budapest

9.1

meet my standad. these is my second time

7.5

I selected Hotel Baross because of its proximity to the Keleti train station, and was pleased with my selection. Construction is taking place in the square in front of the hotel, which was a bit of a nuisance, but not a major hindrance. Spent little time in the vicinity of the hotel.

8.4

Location if arriving by train excellent, also access to all public transport. The entrance to the hotel was a bit disguised but once figured out not a problem. Breakfast at the hotel was a bit too predictable but sufficient.

10

Really near the train station. Great breakfast, helpful staff and great value for money. Just a few metro stops from every main attraction in town.

6.9

Hotel Baross is about 50 yards from the Budapest Keleti station. Staff friendly and reception speak good english. Rooms are on the 4th and 5th floor of the building in the picture. At the time of my visit (May 2009) the works to add a 4th Metro line to Budapest made the square outside the hotel a building site. I'd stay there again.

7.8

Tutto ok, altamente consigliato. Posizione ottima, nella stessa piazza della Stazione Keleti che può essere usata sia per spostarsi con la metro, che per raggiungere altre capitali come ho fatto io (20600 fiorini il biglietto andata e ritorno per Vienna per 2 persone). I trasporti pubblici di Budapest sono molto efficienti, ma la città si presta anche ad essere girata a piedi. Saluti.

8.9

this was a great find ... main reason I'd booked was proximity to Keleti Pu, but had doubts about how close it would really be. Well, it's REALLY close! Staff extremely helpful and obliging, and speak pretty good English. The hotel receptionist did what the train station would not: printed out a long and confusing timetable which took me into the deep countryside, which was my next destination. Pretty good breakfast, and the coffe machine in the lobby, as also the internet, (coin-operated, fairly reasonable) are two great ideas! Hotel gives very good info about stuff to do in city, and also does the bookings. Recommended!

8.9

while there is construction going on in the plaza in front of the hotel- this hotel is literally across the street from the train station we arrived at from vienna. the staff are great and all speak english- trust them- they wont steer you wrong.the hotel is located on the 5th floor of the building- keeping you away from the street noise that occurs from train station nearby-taxis and buses are easy to get- but the train into the center of town is RIGHT THERE- use it- breakfast is good- they really try to make it that way

6.0

The hotel neighbourhood is a little rough and my sister was warned to protect the video camera. We were given a room facing the court yard, so we did not hear the outside noise but we heard all the commotions young people were making at the corridor at night. Fortunately it didn't last till late. There was absolutely no wall hanging, picture or decoration in the room (no phone either). Breakfast was O.K. although we had to ask to zap our coffee to make it hot. It was an okay hotel.

9.4

The location of the property is close to public transpotation. The overall immediate surrounding is undergoing construction therefore the immediate surroundings are not aesthetically pleasant. The hotel itself is very good...nice spaciouus rooms and a very efficient staff that immediately accomodated us upon our early arrival in the property.They checked us in early which was a relief since we had just come in from a train ride and we were pretty tired.If I return to Budapest,I may stay here again!

8.3

Difficult to find good accommodations for 4 persons, but Hotel Baross was great in this area. We had an inside facing room on our first stay in late June and needed cool and quiet. That room was excellent for both. Second stay, we had smaller outside facing room and the AC didn't work properly, so it was not as comfortable. They are doing their best to accommodate guests in spite of all the construction taking place outside. So close to all trains - easy walk.

10

The htel was lovely, with large,clean rooms and a huge shower cubicle. The breakfst selection was excellent. As a smoker, I was allowed to smoke in my room, but I reckon that will stop soon as the smoking rooms were few in number. The hotel was easy to find, and was a great place to get buses, trolleys and subways from. The square outside the hotel is a bit messy at present (July 2008) with the buiding of the new metro line, but when that's finished, it will be even better.

6.9

close to rail station, crossing the street.

7.9

This hotel is clean and friendly. The staff are very pleasant and speak good English. Our room smelled of sewerage which we traced to the shower. The smell was coming up through the plug hole. We fitted the pluh and filled the base with water and all was fine. The hotel is a long way from the Danube and theres not a lot going on around it but it is handy for the Railway station. Theres building work going on at the front of the hotel at the moment but it wasn't too noisy. Apart from the location the Baross is reasonable value for money

5.1

The hotel is near to the central station but far from the main attractions. The cleanliness is not one of the best topics, but the breakfast is fine. Anyway it was woth for 3 nights.

7.1

Good location and service. Sound proofing between rooms could be better.

6.7

Near to transport system. 40 min walking to donau.

3.8

En las fotografias no aparecen las habitaciones de la planta 6, que venden como dobles, pero son sencillas (tuvimos que dormir 1 noche en 1 de ellas) No hay cortinas opacas en las habitaciones, demasiada luz cuando amanece Aire acondicionado deficiente El personal poco profesional, a las 8 de la tarde no había nadie en recepción, cualquier demanda tenian que consultarla por telèfono, etc.

7.5

very close to keleti train station,

7.2

It was not easy to find the mais office, despite the big outdoor: BARROS HOTEL. The office is located in the 5th floor ! We like the breakfast and because of this the daily rate it´s OK!

5.3

The hotel is good, for young people, for a family, for a group. Near the public trasportation. Unfortunately we got a problem with payment with CC. The price with Venere for a group was 890 EUR. I receive instead a balance of 918 EUR, because the payment was in HUF (222.500) with unfair exchange rate. I suggest next guest to pay cash. Otherwise to switch the preventive in HUF by this site, before arrive there.

9.8

Really good hotel to stay in. only problem we had was a mix up in times for them to book our airport minibus... resulting in it arriving 12 hours early when we were asleep. However the hotel soon fixed the problem and im sure it was just miscomunication and mistranslation! On the whole the hotel reception were excellent, offered us brilliant advice as to where to find restaurants/bars/club and it is in a great location- very easy to get everywhere!

5.8

The staff were extremely lovely and helpful. The breakfast was ok. Unfortunately with the paper thin walls we could hear everything the people in the room next to us was doing (Talking, going to & flushing the toilet etc) which made it difficult to sleep. The room had been cleaned, but the carpet and quilt cover seemed a bit too stained which wasn't very pleasant.

7.8

First time in Budapest! Firstly, the staff was friendly in giving us directions and recommending places to eat. Only the kitchen staff during breakfast should learn to put a smile on their faces instead of sulking most of the time. The location of the hotel is fantastic as it is just across Keleti railstation which makes it very convenient for travelling to your destination. The rooms are spacious, clean, nice hot shower, and the heating is adequate. Value for money! The hotel lounge is rather small and internet access is not free. Apart from that, all is good and Budapest is awesome!

8.9

Hotel eccellente, camera spaziosa e pulita. Bagno ottimo, vasca da bagno, doccia, no bidet. Manca solo shampoo e doccia-schiuma, fornito solo sapone liquido, peccato. Ricca colazione in stile "tedesco" - sia prodotti dolci che salati - solo il caffe' davvero non all'altezza del resto. Tutto molto abbondante e fresco dalle 7 am alle 11 am Buon servizio di sicurezza con portiere 24h/24h. Dintorni ricchi di negozi e fast-foods anche se posizione non centrale. Consiglio sicuramente soggiorno. Io ci tornerò presto -- Excellent hotel, spacious room and cleaning up. Excellent bath, bathtub, shower, no bidet. It misses only shampoo and shower-foam, furnished only liquid soap, sinned. Rich breakfast in "German" style (sweets that salted) - only the coffee' indeed not to the height after all. All very abundant and fresh from 7 am to 11 am. Good safety service with doorman 24h/24h. Outskirtses rich in shops and fast-foods even if non central position. I surely recommend stay. I will return soon there.

8.6

Matrimonio con 2 hijos de 15 años. Habitación cuadruple. 5 noches de agosto. Situado junto a una estación de tren y metro y paradas de autobuses y trolebuses y sin embargo no tienes la sensación de ruido ni agobio. Amplio y cómodo, limpio y tranquilo, sin ruidos ni molestias. Calidad precio muy buena. Pensad que Budapest no es precisamente barato.

6.8

L'albergo è centrale e ben collegato con i principali mezzi di comunicazione, la zona è tranquilla ma circolano persone dall' aspetto non proprio raccomandabile, come succede vicino alle le stazioni ferroviarie delle grandi città. Le stanze che affacciano sulla grande piazza di Baross sono rumorosissime(Ospedale vicino=molte ambulanze). Non cambiate l'euro in albergo.

7.4

The room was quiet and clean, the staff helpful. The breakfast was just great! The only downside was that the hotel doens't have its own parking space as indicated. However there is a guarded paring space nearby (a bit difficult to find) which charges 1500 forint per night

9.6

WE STAY AT A VERY COMFORTABLE ROOM WITH AIR CONDICION IN A VERY HOT DAYS

8.7

très bon hotel bien placé en face de la gare(metro et bus). Passé la porte d'entrée, vous oubliez la gare et la circulation pour vous installer au dernier étage de l'immeuble, calme et presque silencieux. parking voiture surprenant mais sûr.

9.0

The situation very close to Keleti station is most convenient, especially as the distinctive facade of the Baross is easily visible on emerging from the station. Our room was most satisfactory abd I would recommend this hotel to any visitor to Budapest.

10

Jederzeit wieder, super Hotel

6.8

Good, central accommodation with a good breakfast. But it is very noisy. No tea-making facilities in the rooms. But you can ask for everything the young and open stuff members.

9.7

Good staff and security. Lovely, spacious room that was clean and had a very large bed. The location was excellent (across from Keleti train station and metro). The only negative was that the room faced the square which was very busy and noisy day and night (however we slept through most of it). We would stay here again but would request a room that did not face the main square.

9.5

Me and my boyfriend would definately recommend Hotel Baross. The room was large and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location was excellent. The metro stop is just outside the front door of the hotel, which means easy access to both Buda and Pest. The breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice to make sure no one went hungry! The only negative point was that our window looked out onto the lift doors so there were always people walking past our window. Budapest is a great city to visit and Hotel Baross helped make our stay even more enjoyable, thankyou.

9.5

The Baross was a very convenient location for us. It is close to the metro and the train station, which for us was great since we took the train to Vienna. The people at the reservation desk were extremely helpful giving directions and just generally friendly. My only negative comment would be that the room was too hot. We had to turn off the heat and open a window, even though outside it was freezing.

7.4

our room was too near of the smoker room. We smell too frequently the smoke in the room

7.5

Noisy rooms, you clearly hear your neighbours TV but in general very good value for the money.

9.6

Lovely hotel, quite odd being on the fifth floor of an apartment block, but nice and quiet, away from the busy street below. Big rooms and great buffet breakfast too.

6.9

Baross is a good place to stay in Budapest especially for the price. The hotel is conveniently located right next to public transportation (subway, train). The only complaint is that the walls are way too thin. Our bedroom (room 510) was connected to 509's bathroom. Thus, we were able to hear the next door neighbor talk and use the bathroom. All water pipes create excessive noise so it was very disruptive in the morning. Besides the noise for the value and location it is a great place. I would go back again but I would stay away from 509, 510, 511. It's the same for the 6th floor also.

9.6

Il Baross si è rivelato un piccolo ottimo hotel. Ben organizzato, pulito e ben gestito da personale giovane e disponibile. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Niente male anche la colazione, a parte il caffè, naturalmente. Posizionato di fronte alla Kelety station da cui è comodissimo prendere qualsiasi mezzo pubblico e i dintorni trasandati fanno molto est europa. Abbiamo fruito del servizio minibus da/per Areoporto proposto dall'hotel ed è stato comodo ad un prezzo secondo noi giusto (12 € A/R a persona). Ci siamo trovati tutti molto e bene e torneremmo volentieri quindi lo consiglierei. Per quanto riguarda il servizio di prenotazione Venere, direi ottimo, nessun problema, la carta di credito è servita solo per garanzia, nessuna commissione, però le foto dell'albergo potevano essere migliori, le nostre 4 camere erano parecchio più belle di quelle mostrate.

8.6

We enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the overall standard of the hotel. Were disappointed to find that 1 of the "2 double beds" in our room was just a foldout couch. Is right next to Keleti train station and metro stop so location for our purposes was excellent.

9.5

Ottimo albergo per pulizia e localizzazione vicino al centro. Ottima prima colazione e ottimo staff. Munitevi di contanti al momento del pagamento, lo preferiscono.

8.4

excellent hotel, nice staff. a recommondation for everyone who wants to stay for a while in Budapest.

9.0

I do not hesitate in recommending this hotel to anyone who wants a comfortable stay in the centre of Budapest. We stayed there in August 2005. Prices are reasonable, our room was large, clean and comfortable. Great shower. The staff are efficient, friendly and speak very good English. The breakfast is included in the price and is excellent (except coffee). The hotel is very well located on Baross Ter (Square), next to a tube station, major bus routes and a major train station. We actually walked to the city every time we wandered to Pest, but for Buda the buses or trams are very convenient. Even though the hotel is no a major city centre road, it was very quiet.

6.0

It is located very near to the train station within 2 minute walk. The breakfast is delicious.

7.0

A continual stream of inexperienced staff prevented a couple of minor room problems being solved - they all promised to "look into it straight away", but nothing was done. Otherwise, a pleasant and uneventful stay, mainly as accurately described by Venere.

8.2

Very nice and clean rooms. Good breakfast. Handy location, very central but not the nicest area. Good service, but they wanted to be payed in cash. But in the end it was possible to pay by credit card. Overall a good and nice hotel.

7.5

Location is convenient as it is just opposite to the railway station. Excellent breakfast provided. Staff were helpful. Good choice for stay.

8.2

Hotel was very clean and tidy, no noise problems. Although this hotel is not very central, transport is no problem, links into centre are across the road, it is only a 15 min walk to the river. Staff friendly and helpful. All in all a good stay and good value, although I don't think I would stay in this area again, I would want to stay more central. Whatever you do please explore Budapest, it really is beautiful.

7.9

We enjoyed our stay. The location of the hotel, near Keleti pu transport hub makes getting around on public transport very easy, however immediate area is a bit grim. Breakfast is excellent, however there is not a bar in the hotel as advertised. Public areas are well appointed but frequently very smokey. Although our room was non smoking, as we were located next to the reception the smell permeated into the room. The room was located on the front of the building and next to the breakfast room so was very noisy as a result of heavy traffic and the large number of guests - avoid being allocated room 504! We arranged for transport to and from the airport which was welcome as we arrived late due to flight delays. We paid for a taxi but ended up in a minibus for our return journey which was disappointing.

9.2

We were very satisfied with our stay. Thank you very much:-)

9.5

We would highly recommend the Hotel Baross. It is excellent value for money, the staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke perfect English. The hotel was immaculate and very well kept, and the buffet breakfast could not be faulted. The only draw back, if it is one, is that it is not as centrally located as we imagined and the area is somewhat 'down at heels'. However, the Metro is directly opposite and we were in the centre in a few minutes. The public transport system is very efficient and easy to navigate. We would highly recommend Hotel Baross for a perfect base to enjoy the beautiful city of Budapest.

7.7

Nice and clean rooms in a friendly atmosphere with helpful staff - well worth the money.

9.8

We had a marvelous stay at the Baross, and if we ever go back to Hungary we'll try to book with them again. The staff was totally friendly and helpful and we felt we were getting a great deal for our money.

6.2

Thin walls main complaint. Bit noisy otherwise OK. Good breakfast.

9.0

Right next to the Keleti train station in Pest (very convenient, though definitely not in the most romantic part of the city)

9.4

We stayed in a family room (apartment) for 4 nights. The room was clean and quiet, and our stay was thoroughly comfortable. Especially, all the employees at the reception were very kind and prompt. If I have another chance to go to Budapest, I definitely will choose the same hotel.

7.6

Buena atención, pieza cómoda y espaciosa y un buen desayuno. El barrio en que està ubicado no es bonito y es lejano de los puntos de atracción turística, pero tiene una buena conexión con ellos vía metro.

8.1

Baross is a nice hotel, good value for money. The rooms are clean and the staff are excellent. The cleaners did a great job everymorning in our room. The room itself was a little small and the walls a bit thin. The location is good being niceley between the central town and the Heroes square area so you can easily walk to both.

8.0

Nice Hotel. we just must keep in mind that communisme is not that far away in local minds. welcoming and help could have maybe be a little bit more 'warmy'. And the breakfast not really special. don't be to hungry in the mornings... overall good situation and nice hotel. quality/price excellent.

9.9

100% fantastic Hotel, great location infront Budapest Keleti train station

9.2

I along with 4 friends stayed at the Baross in October 2004. I found the staff at the hotel very friendly, especially the receptionists. They were informative and very competant and all spoke good English. The rooms were spacious and all amenities were correctly advertised. All in all a great stay was had for two days, highly recommended!

9.6

Lovely hotel and the staff were excellent - they booked restaurants, taxis and answered all our questions. Our room overlooked the street with big windows but was not noisy at night. I would recommmend this highly. Thanks for a lovely stay!

8.1

parking is on payment...

9.5

The cooperation of the employees resulted with a high quality staying for us during the weekend in Budapest. The location could have been shown a clearer map.

8.3

Schönes, ruhiges Zimmer (wenn es zum Parkplatz hinaus liegt!). Nettes Personal. Frühstücksbuffet könnte etwas einfallsreicher sein.

8.9

This was our second time staying at Baross. OUr first 2 nights we had a room (502) on the roadside. The rooms were very warm and the windows had to be opened for cooler air, but the noise from the streets/traffic was extremely loud. We decided to stay an additional night and was placed in room 501. Although this room was not on the street side, the windows opened up to the elevator and motion light that would constantly come on. Again, the room was warm, and the windows had to be opened.

8.1

The hotel is very nice and looks as good as new, the rooms are clean and charmed and the breakfast is plentiful. The location is so convenient, because is near the rail station and the underground, and takes a few minutes to go to the center of the city. I recommend it.

6.3

The change, euro/Ft isn't respected, i've payed 20 euros over!

9.1

Unexpectedly good, after one arrives at the Budapest station - a short walk across the (still squallid)square, a less exciting ground-floor, a modern elevator, though, with see-through on the lovely courtyard, entrance on the 5th floor, pleasant personnel. The less than perfect note for welcoming and services is only due to the fact that "the computer can't accept credit cards" hence one might have to search for an ATM to retrieve cash. I am curious to know if it is just one isolated case or a trend.... and this should not happen. Also, to my knowledge, there is no elevator service between floors, hence it might be uncomfortable for people with heavy luggage. But the rooms (although I had to change one when returning at night because there was some unpleasant odor in the original one, but I was promptly assigned an other) are clean and spacious enough, and the bathrooms impeccable. Definitely a very good value, and the buffet breakfast was generous. I would return.
