Lovely staff, lovely restaurant, good facilities but .... requested non-smoking room and the room stank of stale niccotine. Had to keep windows open (aircon didn't have remote control) the noise of the city traffic was awful and did'nt stop all night. Time for a refurb for this particular room I think .... more

I went to Budapest with my boyfriend and friends. We stayed at charles hotel for 3 nights. Altough nothing special in appearence, the people and the service were way above average. Suitable for a 4 star hotel. The personel always polite and friendly, even if we went in and out 5 times in an hour. They spoke english and they... more

I stayed at the Charles Hotel on regular business trips to Budapest and the last time was in July 2007. The hotel is conveniently located on the Buda side of the city (District I - Castle district). The buses that stop in front of the hotel (across the street) takes you to downtown Vaci utca in 5 minutes (3 bus-stops).... more

My partner an I stayed at the Hotel Charles in July 2006 and found it to be very good value for money. The noise from the road was quite loud, but you do get used to it! The breakfast (which was included in the price) was very good and we often had lunch/dinner in there as well, which again was... more

I had an apartment on the 3rd floor, with a large sleeping room, a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a small balcony. The whole room was clean, as well as the double bed. The hotel is no so bad... more

The room itself was more than adequate for us, we did upgrade to one with airconditioning but it still... more

It was my first visit to Budapest, and I made a reservation at Charles Hotel website for a Deluxe room and received a written confirmation from them. After flying close to 20 hours from Asia, I arrived at the hotel only to hear the receptionist tell me that they don't have my reservation and are fully booked. My pleas and... more

I just returned from a stay at this hotel. I ignored the warnings by others on this site about the street noise, thinking that I could sleep through anything. I couldn't have been more sorry. The constant noise from traffic all night along is simply unbelievable at this hotel. It is very difficult to sleep if your room is just... more

Stayed here for 4 days and quite enjoyed it. It's nothing special and the place does the job that it is there for, basically, "it does what it says on the tin". The breakfast was OK and same for dinner. The staff are VERY nice apart from the 'night staff' who always seemed in a bad mood. Actually, complained that... more
