Fabulous in Every Way

From the moment we walked through the doors of the Hotel Continental Zara we were impressed. We were greeted by friendly staff who were only too happy to explain everything about Budapest to us and show us to our room. The hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the Danube which was perfect and is located close to 2 stops on the Hop On Hop Off bus tours. The amenities in the hotel were second to none and the setting itself was just perfect!!! Cannot recommend it highly enough!

Weekend Away

Stayed for just one night at the hotel in January with my wife. Flew in from the UK and then used the airline (Wizz Air) shuttle bus service to drop off in central Budapest. Hotel was a short (10 min) walk away. Well located, only a few minutes from the underground which we later used. Desk staff very helpful. Room was small, but had all the amenities that you would want. Modern and comfortable. We used the pool & saunas on the top floor. Never quite made it to the gym... After a days exploring the city we were going to go out to a restaurant, but decided to use the one connected to the hotel. Although not cheap, the food was good and the service excellent. Very helpful staff helped us explore some local food and made very good recommendations with the wine. Would certainly recommend and use again if we every came back to Budapest.

Christmas Holiday

Small rooms, yet comfortable. Showers are small by American standards. Breakfast buffet very nicely done. Staff is excellent. Hotel within easy walking to most sites, but we prefer walking to best experience the cities we are in. Will stay here again if we ever get back to Budapest.

Warm stay in a chilly city

We decided to take a weekend getaway before Christmas and were delighted by all the wonderful amenities our hotel had to offer. The room was clean and perfect for a couple with a great heating system! Breakfast was included in our package and had a great variety of salads, pancakes, meat, eggs and drinks. We spent one night in the pool and sauna which was lovely and another enjoying the Christmas concert. The staff were very helpful during our stay and with ordering a taxi to the airport upon checkout. Overall great experience!

Great Tourist Location

Every amenity required of a 4 star. Excellent staff. Room on the small side, would be difficult for a couple, ideal as a single.
