Hotel City Mátyás - Budapest

7.2

camera pulita, ma niente vista della stanza che ho avuto, colazione discreta. Personale gentile e parlava anche in italiano.

7.4

A good central location and easy to find. The breakfast is self service and there is plenty of it. The staff on the desk are very keen to help and speak good English. A lot of the rooms face onto a deep, paved courtyard so noise reverberates. If inconsiderate people arrive late / early morning and make a lot of noise, everyone gets to hear it but that only happened once during my stay.

We reserved on 17 of March for a room on 17 of April and we called three hours before arriving for another confermation: they said us that was all ok. They had our numbers of telephone and our e mail address. When we arrived at 0.15 a.m.the night porter told us that there was a mistake and we were obliged to transfer us in another hotel that they decided. A such thing like this haven't been happened in my life before, never!

We had a room with wonderful view on the river and the hill. The hotel is located in the centre, close to the subway and the trolleybus.the staff was quite cold, but helpful.The breakfast was served in a funny decorated room. I'll stay here again, if I'll be back in Budapest

9.3

Brilliant hotel - especially for the price. And was in an excellent location!! Would definitely recommend it!

2.4

If want a nice hotel - this is the wrong place!!! A) Full noise impact The hotel was directly facing a very busy street, running 10 meters above the ground. B) "room to the quiet side-street" sounds good, but means: dark, small & ugly C) Fight for your right ... for breakfast. Ask for bread, coffe, jam,.. I mean - the basics. otherwise you won´t get them.

9.6

Excellent location, we had spacious comfortable suite and breakfast was very good and plentiful. Staff were all pleasant. First visit and would definately stay again.

7.5

The hotel was just OK and we probably would not stay there again even though the location was great.

7.8

Comme précisé, cet hotel est très bien placé. Nous avions demandé, et nous avons obtenu une chambre avec vue sur le Danube et le chateau, mais en contrepartie un peu de bruit du pont Erszebet... Un point négatif : les doubles rideaux ne font pas la largeur de la fenetre, et donc réveil obligé avec le jour ( à notre surprise environ 6h debut novembre ! ). Petit déjeuner excellent et copieux dans le cadre du restaurant Matyas. Bref, un hotel à recommander.

7.9

After a rather strange entrance we received a warm welcome to a very competent hotel. Close to the city centre and the river it was a good base.

2.7

The hotel is drab. The location is good, close to center-city activities. The room I had was very drab, small, and with a tiny, old and very uncomfortable single bed. There was no internet service. The shower was incredibly small and old, and leaked badly. The bathroom was provided with one towel. I made a reservation for a week, but moved out after the first night. There are much better, newer hotels at the same price, with similar good locations. I suggest the Basilica Hotel located a few blocks away, right next to St. Stephen's Cathedral. It's brand new, with nice rooms and bathrooms, and is exactly the same price.

7.1

Nice location, good breakfast and bad bathroom!

7.4

I had stayed at this Hotel about 7 years ago and it has declined in quality. Too busy with tour buses and contrary to what they say in their ads. NO WIFI. they have one computer in the lobby and you have to pay for that. and it was broken for 2 of the 3 days I was there. Great central location though.Also double bed was actually two beds pushed together. Breakfast @ the Pince next door was pretty good and Big compared to other places I stayed .I think it's strange Europeans are into Luncheon meats for breakfast.

6.7

Good Breakfast!

8.9

Good service, nice personal. Entrance a little difficult to find. Very good location, near most interesting sites in the city.

7.8

L'hôtel est très bien situé, à proximité de la ligne de tramway et à côté de la rue commerçante. Le personnel est serviable et accueillant.

7.7

Excellent location Good Breakfast in the hotel

7.9

This is a large, very central hotel with a lively restaurant in its basement which comes complete with Hungarian folk band in the evenings! Slightly disappointing to find that the 1920s exterior belies the 1970s interior.Its best to insist on a room with a river view, although the hotel is not directly facing the river anyway. More rooms with balconies would be a must in the summer as few rooms have AC as yet.

7.8

Lovely stay. Hotel was fine, staff friendly and helpful; we had a courtyard room which was a little dark, but quiet other than when they collected bottles in the middle of the night. Hotel was in easy walking distance of the city centre, the metro, and even the river to walk over the 'chain' bridge to Buda. We spent three days, could have done with one more. The outside Thermal Baths at Szechenyi in the pouring rain was very memorable! We bought a 3 day travel pass at the main metro station - made getting round fast, or after a days walking, very easy. Whole place was extremely clean, floors in the metro were slippery from being polished! Used restaurant one night at the hotel, but there are plenty of places nearby, and even a supermarket to buy a few cold beers.

7.9

Old hôtel ! They are revampihg it, but the first access is poor... Very well located in downtown Pest; Not so easy to park the car, and very expensive in semi-public underground parking ! We had a room with a nice sightseeing on Buda and Danube; Gorgeous brekfeast in a nice "Art Nouveau" tavern. Location : is located just South - and not North as indicated on your map - Ertzbet bridge.

8.0

We are a group of 6 travelling Europe and stayed in Budapest for 3 nights. Although we found the entrance to Matyas Hotel unwelcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The Breakfast was good with plenty of choice, although the eggs and bacon left something to be desired. However, if you want an English breakfast-stay in England. The Hotel Staff spoke good English and were very accomodating. It would be advisable if you enquired at reception of any disreputable areas, as we found that there are some unsavoury characters eager to take your money.

8.2

Excellent value, centrally located within easy walking distance of all main sights. Do try the restaurant on the ground floor, it's fantastic. Clean, comfortable and overall a marvelous stay.

6.8

The hotel entrance is not pleasant and shadowy ( insufficient lights )

8.9

The hotel is in the very heart of Budapest, near to every interesting place or easily reacheble by bus or subway. The view was wonderful, the breakfast good, the staff welcoming. The hotel is also easily reachable from the airport (bus n.200 until the terminal, then the subway until Frederick tere).

7.0

not so clean, but a very good location to visit the city by foot

7.9

There was two rooms that were broken into while we were there. Security is lacking.

7.9

We stayed 3 nights at the City Mátyás - nice place, very good restaurant.

8.4

The staff was very nice and helpful. The location is great for walking to shopping street. We were two women and felt very comfortable with the hotel and the area. The restaurant in the hotel is wonderful. The outside of the hotel looked much grander in the photos but it was fine.

8.9

First impressions are not good. This property is a pension rather than a hotel, and occupies only the ground floor and part of the second floor of an old building. The common entrance hall is extremely gloomy and unwelcoming, and I thought twice about continuing. However, the reception area and the rooms have been refurbished to a high standard - our room was spacious, with high ceilings, furnished in a very modern IKEA-like style. The bathroom was good. We even had a great view across the Danube from the window (and double-glazing to keep out traffic noise). The location was fantastic, and it was an easy walk to every one of Budapest's main sights and shopping areas. There were several metro stations in the vicinity, and a supermarket on the next block. At night we were able to easily walk to the main bar/restaurant/nightlife districts. The staff were friendly, efficient and spoke excellent English. Breakfast was plentiful if a little grim - rather poor quality and served in a large, dim basement restaurant with no natural light. Overall, if you're looking for a comfortable, inexpensive place to sleep in central Budapest you can't go wrong with this pension. It's worth bearing in mind that once you've got the keycard you no longer have to go through the reception area to get to your room - useful if you meet a nice local lad (or lass) while out on the town!

8.9

Well located. Rooms spread out between buildings. Our room was on a floor of an apartment building, but the floor was well maintained, and the room new, airconditioned, and adequate. Not all rooms are air-conditioned. Staff is professional. The breakfast room has delightful murals and woodwork.

5.0

Das Hotel liegt an einer der Verkehrs-Hauptadern der Stadt: der Elisabeth-Brücke. Dafür ist die Hauptgeschäftsstraße nur 1 Minute entfernt, genauso wie das Donauufer. Wir hatten 3 Zimmer, von denen eines straßenseitig lag: bei geschlossenem Fenster war es heiß, bei geöffnetem zu laut. Die Aussicht auf den Gellert- und den Burgberg sowie die alte Pfarrkirche ist besonders schön. Das Jahrhundertwende-Haus ist verwinkelt aber reizvoll, wenn man diesen Charme mag. Das Frühstücksbüffett ist sehr üppig, wenn man Wurst und Mayonnaise schon in der Früh mag.

5.3

Contrary to the previous reviewers assessment, the breakfast was one of the worst that I had over a month-long trip in Europe. The tables were never cleaned and the food was greasy and unappealing.

8.3

Great location, friendly staff, and a nice buffet for breakfast. Just across the bridge is the 'Ruda Baths', well worth a visit and great for relaxing. Be aware that if you have a room with a view you will experience some noise at night, but given price and locality it is a good place to stay.

9.0

We stayed three nights and four full days. We chose the hotel for its central location and were glad we did. We walked a lot but also used public transportation extensively. The breakfast buffet was the best we had on our trip, which also included London, Prague and Vienna.

8.7

The room was clean and quiet. Very small bathroom. Very good breakfast. Very well placed near to Danubio river. We will back

9.9

Supber location, friendly staff, highly recommend if you're staying in Budapest

6.9

not the best hotel in budapest, but probably an excellent compromise between price and location. Clean, not too quiet (but remember that you are in the centre of the city!)

7.7

bella posizione...tutto ok!!!

9.8

no problem.a bed for the child was ready.

9.7

Great location, right in the centre of the city within walking distance of most of the main sights and some great bars and restaurants. Hotel itself is pretty basic, but clean, quiet and safe and there's a great breakfast!

9.9

Hotel très central et calme, proches de nombreux sites touristiques. La salle du petit déjeuner, (restaurant le soir)est à découvrir impérativement. Adresse à recommander.

8.7

Ideal position for exploring Budapest. Excellent breakfast and rooms clean and comfortable. Good value for money

8.2

Although there was initially some confusion with our reservation, they resolved it quickly. The location of the hotel was perfect. Also, the view from our room was great. Breakfast was very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

9.9

Nice hotel, with a very central location, and nice staff.

4.4

The main thing that this hotel has going for it is it's very central location. The very friendly staff arranged an airport pick-up for us which we were thankful for as the signage wasn't that easy to find. Once you get over your first impressions (a rabbit warren of stairs & corridors, dim lighting and only partial carpeting in the hallway) and venture into the lift - barely big enough for two people let alone with luggage, the room was actually safe and warm. The position of the hotel is great as it is very close to the metro sytsem and 1 minute walk to the main shopping street. The staff were very helpful.

7.8

close to many famous tourist spots within walking distance; shopping and food in the surroundings bit expensive; nice view (elizabeth bridge and danube river and buda side)from balcony (only if u request street view and balcony); busy area and night time many prostitues and pimps; room clean and tidy and comfortable bed; bathroom spacious and bright enough ; breakfast is very good and enjoyable in the downstair restaurant which is over 100 years old.; overall stay is very satisfactory but i think price is a bit high if less than 90euro i will giv it a 5 stars

7.8

the hotel is located next to the Elizabeth bridge and the river. Within easy walking distance of the castle and citadel. The shopping area is 100 metres away plenty of eating and drinking places close by.we did not find the breakfast to our liking but there is plenty to chose from. To sum up A VERY GOOD CENTRAL LOCATION not luxury but not budget

7.9

The hotel is in an excellent position. Very handy for the town and very close to the river, with some excellent views. The only problem was the lack of lighting in the stairways. Negotiating two flights of stairs in the pitch black can be pretty tricky. Rooms are kept clean, and the staff all speak reasonable English. Good value.
