Nice, modern, friendly hotel

The room was kind of small but the staff was super friendly and nice. They were also very helpful and it was convenient to be able to book tours or bathhouse tickets straight from the hotel. The hotel is brand new and in a very convenient location from the metro. You're pretty close to the center of town. And they've got a pretty nice breakfast spread in the morning. I can't comment on the pool or exercise facilities since I didn't have a chance to take advantage of it but I would definitely return to this hotel.

Book spa/bathhouse tickets at the hotel. They speak english, you don't have to wait on line at the bathhouse. It just simplifies things.

Hotel Zara, Budapest, Hungary

This was our first visit to Budapest and the hotel was very well situated for our needs. We did all the usual tourist things but could have done more, if the weather and time was more conducive. We fell in love with Budapest and the people were delightful - much better than our visit to Copenhagen around the same time last year! The only thing missing was our lack of knowledge - next time we'll be better prepared!

Check out the buses, trams, metro for money off tickets etc and don't go for the first bus/river sight-seeing tour, look around - some are less expensive than others.

CONTINENTAL HOTEL ZARA BUDAPEST

The hotel itself was lovely and in a very convenient location. The hotel staff were courteous and polite, although not overly friendly. We did discover however that although the hotel taxi's are convenient, they charge around double the amount of other taxi firms in Budapest.

When dining out, Budapest restaurant staff do not seem to be overly attentive to their guests, so do not be afraid of making a point to waiting staff if you want coffee or dessert for example. Do not ask a waiter to recommend a wine as we were ripped off at one restaurant.

Hotel nuevo, céntrico y con muy buenas instalaciones. La zona SPA resulta del todo gratificante. El personal del restaurante es en algunos casos un tanto inexperto.
