Outstanding Gold Standard Hotel.
We stayed five nights in the hotel, and from the time we arrived, we enjoyed the most outstanding professional and welcoming hospitality of the hotel staff. To our suprise, most of the staff communicated well in English and were always welcoming, professional, and friendly. The superior studio provided a spectacular view of the Danube River and the majestic Chain Bridge. The view of the city was absolutely magnificent, especially at night time. Everything in the room was of high standard, and having stayed at many hotels around the world, we could say without hesitation that the soundproofing in the room was Gold Standard. For the first time, we were not disturbed by any external noise from the hotel or from traffic noise from outside the hoìtel. This made our stay enjoyable and memorable. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone in the hotel for making our stay in Budapest spectacular!
Carlton Hotel Buda Castle - A Location Lover's Dream!
My recent stay at the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle in Budapest was largely defined by its absolutely awesome location. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the historical heart of the city, this hotel is a fantastic choice.
Being just minutes away from both the majestic Buda Castle and the picturesque Fisherman’s Bastion was a huge plus. I particularly appreciated the convenience for early risers – those who wish to view the stunning sunrise and enjoy the area before the crowds arrive (potentially with free entrance before official opening hours) will find this hotel incredibly convenient, as it's just a short stroll away.
Furthermore, the hotel's location also allows for a pleasant walk to the viewing area across the river from the Parliament building. Seeing the illuminated Parliament at night from the opposite bank was a memorable experience, and it was easily accessible on foot from the hotel.
The room itself was cozy and comfortable, providing a welcome retreat after a day of exploring. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
However, there was one notable downside: the soundproofing could be improved. I occasionally heard noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway, which sometimes disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
Overall:
Despite the minor issue with soundproofing, I would still highly recommend the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle, especially for travelers who prioritize location above all else. Its proximity to key attractions like Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion, along with the easy access to sunrise views and the Parliament panorama, makes it a truly convenient base for exploring the best of Buda. If you're a light sleeper, bringing earplugs might be a good idea, but the unbeatable location truly makes this hotel a strong contender for your Budapest stay.
The location of the hotel is great. It is located on the bank of the Blue Danube, between the Parliament Building and the Chain Bridge. It is not far from the main attractions and is within walking distance. Although the room is next to the road, the sound insulation is very good and you can't hear much noise at night. Our room was on the first floor and had a view of the Parliament Buildings, although the electric poles on the roadside somewhat blocked the view. The hotel staff are all friendly and welcoming, greeting you with a smile. Breakfast is also good. The restaurant is small but very cozy. You can also order delicious freshly made eggs a la carte. Parking needs to be reserved in advance. The garage is right behind the hotel and is easy to find.
Speaking of parking, it is necessary to talk about our experience. When we drove away after checking out, we needed to reverse out of the garage and turn onto the road. However, there were vehicles parked on the side of the road at the entrance of the garage. It was difficult to see the road behind the car when we reversed and turned. Although I reversed very slowly, unfortunately, the car As soon as the rear corner entered the road, it was hit by a car speeding from behind. Fortunately, no one on either side was injured and the damage to the vehicle was minimal. I say this to remind latecomers that if you drive out of this garage onto the road, it is very necessary to ask the person in the car to get out of the car and direct the reverse from behind!
In particular, I would like to praise the hotel staff, a young and handsome man, who gave us great help. After the car collided, I called 112 and called the police. While waiting for the police to arrive, this staff member discovered that we had been involved in a traffic accident, and took the initiative to ask and help us. He repeatedly comforted me verbally, called 112 to inquire about the arrival time of the police, and helped us find and print relevant documents on the car in advance. After arriving at the scene, he helped us translate and communicate and negotiate with the police. With his help, we successfully obtained the traffic accident report. We occupied him for a long time during the entire process and I wanted to thank him, but he just said it was his job and no thanks were needed. This makes us very touched!
This hotel is definitely our only choice next time we come to Budapest!
The structure has a convenient location because it is close enough to tram and metro stops, about ten minutes walk from the Ponte delle Corde and some restaurants. It is a beautiful building, in a clean and elegant area. Inside, in the reception, the environment is very welcoming and furnished in a modern way. The common spaces are also bright, well decorated. The room is essential, quite small in size, pleasantly furnished with beautiful fixtures capable of isolating from external noise. The bathroom is modern, has a well-structured walk-in shower in which the rest of the room hardly gets wet. The staff is very kind and helpful, they immediately responded to our requests even when the request was to change our room due to a persistent unpleasant smell.
But let's move on to the weak points, because unfortunately the hotel has potential that is currently unexpressed. First of all, it could be much cleaner: the corridor had several crumbs and food residues on the carpet, during our four day stay it was never completely cleaned. The carpet in our room had several stains - an unfortunate choice for long-pile carpet in a hotel room - so I never felt comfortable walking barefoot. Secondly, evidently the monastery was not built with air exchange principles, so there is a stagnant air in the entire structure that you can smell when you return to the room. After having to change rooms due to a strong musty smell, we had to air out the new one every night before going to sleep. The same in the stairs. Last point, breakfast. Decent in choice and good in quality, but not worth the cost.
Location was right by the Danube river however our room 318 was blocked by trees which resulted in us not able to view the parliament building from the room. Lobby provided free drinking water for guest which is really good. tram station right outside of hotel as well, very convenient.

The Hotel is located on the Danube right opposite the Palace Castle. The river view rooms are amazing. However, the Hotel is dated and needs an upgrade. The carpets are old and stained. I feel the rooms, halls and corridors all need rennovation. The staff is friendly and the service is veey good.

A fantastically clean and very well located hotel. Right in the centre of town and has just enough to provide a comfortable stay.
However, the 8:30am knocks from housekeeping are very annoying and a fridge is something management should consider - as there is room for one. Breakfast pastries and coffee were great, but hot items lacking and need improvement.
Amazing
