Entrance a little difficult to find, as hotel is in a large building that shares its entrance with offices and apartments. Once inside was pleasantly surprised, newly decorated and was very clean and warm. Staff were very pleasant, and nothing was too much trouble, complimentary bottle of wine in room. Breakfast served in room as there was no dining area.... more

We stayed here for 4 nights from Dec.8th. Had no difficulty finding the hotel as the directions provided were accurate.However we arrived at 9pm and asked at reception for a recommended restaurant and were given directions to Matya's Pince. This was quite a distance away but we found it and were really dissapointed at the quality of the food and... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel at the end of November 2008. It is a very well located hotel, within walking distance of all the main Budapest attractions. It is a family run hotel with friendly staff. We were welcomed with a free bottle of Hungarian wine, which was a nice gesture. It is modern, having only opened... more

If you place a high priority on clean rooms and polite, friendly staff (who doesn't) then you can't do much better than this hotel. This is an unusual hotel in some respects, the entrance feels more like the entrance to someone's apartment (and is not easy to find as it is located inside a small courtyard), however this all makes... more

This 11 room hotel is very central, within walking distance of most attractions in Budapest. It is difficult to find if you do not have the instructions which are sent with your reservation confirmation. Rooms are very clean, wireless internet and breakfast is delivered to your room as they do not have a breakfast room. Rooms on the outside are... more

we booked a shuttle (ended up being a private car just for the 2 of us) online to pick us up from the airport, and the driver dropped us right outside the door. Yes, it's abit unusual - you do have to get into a small lift, and walk through to the next building. But it's much much cheaper than... more

Karoly Central is a strange hotel...not like anything I've ever stayed at before...and not in a good way. The rooms themselves are nice - clean and new - although hardly luxurious. But that's all fine. The problem is that the 'hotel' is really just a nice wing in a horrid, run-down apartment block. Although it's nice once you get inside,... more

I have just returned from the Budapest Karoly Hotel and have to say I loved the stay in the hotel. It was a bit difficult to find the hotel as it is located in an apartment/office block which at night can spook you out a little but don't let that put you off. The hotel is a 5 minute walk... more

This hotel was a find. Located in a 19th century building, next door to the historic synagogue, it was close to everything. The rooms were new, the A/C was great,and the young girls at the desk were a delight. (they even had someone fix the air at 8pm on a Sunday night!). Getting in to the hotel was a little... more
