4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2012 NEW

Great location, in the very center of the city. Staff was polite and helpful, room was clean and nice, and breakfast was good. It's not a fancy hotel, but you get more than you pay for... Great value.

Could not have asked for more given the price. Fantastic location in a beautiful city; clean, well kept rooms with all the basic amenities, including WiFi; friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay there again

Fantastic location for exploring this old city and seeing the wonders of Budapest. Clean, good breakfast. Rooms were clean and well maintained, only issue is no lift/elevator. Oh well, it was worth it to stay here and the staff was wonderful.

The hotel may look old from the outside but we had no complaints the 3 nights we were there. Very good value for money. Our room was on the first floor room 112. In... More

Great location within walking distance to everything you'll want to see in Budapest. I did try the breakfast, but really don't limit yourself to just that, go out for breakfast, there's a handful of awesome cafes about ten minutes away. Easy access from airport, take a bus to metro three, hotel can tell you what stops as the desk clerks... More

We stayed here for 3 nights having got an extremely good deal online. We found the staff very friendly and professional and the location was great as was the free wifi. The hotel was basic enough but always clean and comfortable. It was very cold in Budapest while we were there but the room had a great heating system. Our... More

Pilvax is in a very good location, and staff is friendly and professional. The room we were was quite small and a bit shabby, but very clean. Bed was a bit hard-ish, but suited me very well. The room was quiet enough, there's always some city life around. The restaurant was closed (wintertime ?), and breakfast was served in a... More

The hotel is nothing fancy but the location can't be beat. If you're on a budget and don't plan on spending much time in your room, this is an excellent choice. I got a great rate (around $40) on Hotels.com but have since looked and the rate is usually higher. I don't think I'd stay here if the rate was... More

I just came back from a weekend break to Budapest. We got a very good deal with our airline including the City Hotel Pilvax. The main positive for this hotel is the location. It is <5 min from the Danube, alot of restaurants / cafes and the main shopping street. Apart from the location the hotel is clean and comfortable.... More
