Family-focused reviews and ratings
Excellent location for the Hungaroring! The hotel arranged taxis quickly, and the rooms were spacious and clean. A great option if you're attending the F1.
Decent hotel for the Grand Prix. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff were initially a bit reserved, but warmed up later in the week. Pool access was a bit inconsistent, but the bar was reasonably priced and handy.
The hotel was okay, the staff were friendly, and it was close to the race track. The pool wasn't always available, which was a shame.
Simple and convenient. Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. The location worked great for me, and the price was right.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! The location is a bit outside the city center, but the bus made it easy and affordable to get around. Clean room and bathroom, a great budget-friendly option for exploring Budapest.
