CARMEN HOTEL BUDAPEST

"We had 4 double rooms, all the same - bathrooms need refurbishment. Location was O.K. near bus station, possible to walk to subway. " - Ludek Pribyl

"Price great, service, couldn't fault it. Location fabulous:- 173 bus from Keleti station, 10mins walk to metro, 6 to tram stop... OK... for the 1st time i had to pay the balance there rather than pay thru here... they do not take credit cards so have HUF or EUR with you in cash. ROOM-the spring was loose in the bed so digging into me until i put another quilt under me. NO satellite TV: 8 channels, only 3 worked and were all in Hungarian... not an issue really but it was advertised as satellite in all rooms. I put my empty bag on top of the cupboard- bad mistake as it was covered in dust. Also very very thin walls.... R-rated soundtrack the 1st night, thankfully only for a few minutes. Had the location been worse or the staff unpleasant I would have gone elsewhere... as it was I was only there for 1 whole day, 2 nights, so I stayed put without complaint. I would however NOT stay there again. The price was OK.... the 3 star rating was VERY optimistic." - Anonymous

"Good for overnight, good price, worse conditions, but great receptionist ;-)" - Anonymous

"The staff was great. George gave us a lot of help. We booked the hotel online for two nights, and ended up staying for more than a week because it was such a convenient location and we were so pleased to be staying there. I highly recommend it." - Matthew Windham
