Had a great stay here in June... Reception were helpful and helped us organise taxi to the airport. Room was clean and beautifully designed with plenty of choice in the mini bar. The roof top pool is a must - even just for the view! Breakfast was good with lots of options. Only downside is it is quite a walk... More

The service was excellent here. The concierge service was able to help us out with just about everything (e.g. dinner reservations before we even arrived). The hotel staff let us check in early. The pool on the roof was a welcomed way to escape the heat of a summers day. The breakfast was plentiful and good, but a bit pricey.... More

My boyfriend took me here for my 21st birthday. The hotel was very up market for us and we where wowed by the interior and service from the hotel staff. They made us feel like royalty for a few days. We stayed in the basic double room which was great for us. It was basic modern and very clean. The... More

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights at the end of my trip to Hungary last year and I had the most enjoyable stay. It was so relaxing that we didn't leave the hotel for our last day we just relaxed in the spa on the roof. The food was delicious, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and... More

We typically stay at Hilton Hotels when traveling but since we splurged on Business Class airfare we wanted to reduce our hotel expense, so we booked Hotel Zara. EXCELLENT! Equal to Hilton, if not even better. The hotel was overbooked on our arrival, so they quickly found a corner suite in lieu of a standard room. Everything was brand spanking... More

It was a nice hotel, not something special but perfectly situated in the heart of the city. Good value for money and very helpful and polite attitude. I would definitely stay again when in Budapest in this hotel. The only issue is that the rooms are tiny, you can hardly walk around the bed!

Dear Guest, thank you for your valuable feedback. I like to call your attention that we have four different types of rooms as per size for a small premium compared to the standard rooms. I am sorry to hear that you found the hotel nice but not special. Sincerely yours, More

This was a good place to stay on our visit to Budapest. We came to Budapest via train (from Vienna) and this hotel was only 1 metro stop away from Keleti Train Station (which is a little intimidating at night) at the stop Blaha Lujza tér. We walked from the metro to the hotel quite easily with all our luggage... More

We've stayed here before for just one night, but when my husband returned to Budapest for a week work trip, my daughter and I tagged along. We had an executive suite where the bedroom is separated by 2 sliding doors. While not totally soundproof, it allowed my young daughter to go to sleep early while my husband and I stayed... More

Stayed in Zara whilst attending a business conference. Conference facilities are good. So is its value for money. The hotel lacks a tad of ambiance. The building is wedged in between a number of old buildings. Breakfast was ok, whilst lunch was average. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms on the small side.

Dear Guest, thank you for taking your time to post a review. I appreciate your kind words on the staff, but I do not quite understand what you mean on lack of ambiance.

Stayed at the Continental Zara Hotel for 5 nights in early June. The hotel exceeded all my expectations. Situated about 5min walk from the centre of Budapest, the location was excellent. The hotel itself is surrounded by some lovely restaurants which are excellent value, particularly the Italian next door. The gym facilities on the top floor are ideal & the... More
