Elegant building was once home to a Hungarian nobleman
Budapest's royal past welcomes guests at this historic property. The hotel is in the former residence of a Hungarian nobleman, Count Nandor Zichy. Though the hotel's design and lobby are true to its history, the service, amenities, and room decor are modern. A glass roof provides natural sunlight for guests as they eat the complimentary breakfast buffet. The roof also allows nightime star-gazing for guests as they enjoy cocktails from the lobby bar.
Highlights
- Former residence of a Hungarian nobleman
- Close to public transportation

Excellent Business Hotel
I travel extensively and am very critical of hotels. So it is refreshing to have such a great experience and at a price point that is almost too good to be to be true. The entire staff was consistently professional and very-very helpful. The room was comfortable and tastefully appointed. The shower was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was as good as it gets with quality and variety for anyone. My only wish is for the fitness center to have more equipment, but that said, I was able to get my workouts in without compromise. I would stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great hotel
Great hotel - the rooms were nice and clean, the breakfast was good, the staff was super helpful and friendly. The location was nice - the hotel is located at a quiet part of town, not central to most touristic attractions, but very close and definitely walkable.

We'd go back
The room is clean, quiet and comfortable. The hotel is not on a busy street. The neighbourhood is good. People do sleep on benches all over Budapest, and that happens around the hotel too. There were no problems. The internet works well. The staff were wonderful. The breakfast (included) is excellent: bread, yogurt, fruit salad, cold cuts, bacon and eggs, juice, coffee. Coffee, tea and water are free throughout the day. It is a great location. We could walk anywhere in 40 minutes or less. The Metro is close but we didn't use it. There is a good selection of restaurants nearby. The only drawback about the hotel was that smoking is allowed in the cafe - bar (not the breakfast area). That's how it is all over Budapest. It seems like everyone smokes, and non-smoking sections just don't exist.

Comfortable, friendly and great location too
Good deal for a spotless, modern hotel room in a location that was walking distance / near metro. Also, plenty of restaurants all around both for tourists and locals. We stay on the 5th floor had a partial view of a nearby church and that was great. Breakfast was good and all together a very good. Must say Budapest is a wonderful city to visit...safe, clean and very friendly.

great place just poor location
very nice business traveler type hotel. the breakfast included was also very good and the staff was very welcoming. the biggest complaint is the location of this hotel in regards to the touristy stuff. Its a good 4 - 5 blocks away from downtown and maybe 20 min walk from the true budapest attractions. Didnt look that way on a map, but we know for next time!

First class, all around!
The staff of the Hotel Palazzo Zichy went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible stay in Budapest. The hotel itself was impeccably clean and comfortable, the breakfast bar well stocked, and the location perfect. They gave out maps for walking tours and were incredibly helpful when it came to advice. I was only there for one night, but it could have been a week, it was so relaxing..

Study the city map and try to walk to a few places before you decide whether it is worth buying the budapest card or any other pass.

Gorgeous Five Star feel
Five star facility and service (with one exception). Beautiful rooms and impeccable service with a friendly smiles Breakfast was perfect in a beautiful sunken dining room, and free bar during the day was a lovely touch that we appreciated upon a return from touring and shopping and walking. Great location. THE EXCEPTION: One thing I recommend is a room as high as possible. Lower rooms are noisy in the morning, rushing water in pipes, and way too much door slamming at 7am. Room doors need to be redesigned to prevent all the banging-slamming noises. Hard to sleep after 7am if you are on holiday and not on business. Maybe that is the reason for Four Stars, not Five. Other than that, it is perfect.

Hotel Palazzo Zichy
Bright friendly staff, quick check-in. Accurate directions to sights and great recommendations for dinning. The staff knew all the important details about navigating in their city. They were accurate and detailed with directions. They were the experts about Budapest and what works best there. The hotel is ONLY ONE BLOCK from Tram Line 4&6. And about 3 blocks from the metro. The buffet breakfast is generous and includes everything from cheeses, meats, dry cereal, eggs, fresh baked breads and sweets to fruit and yougart. There is complimentary coffee, tea, bottle water and snacks in the lobby all day till 5pm. There is complimentary internet service with computers and printers. The staff got involved in our visit and checked that we made out as planned. The hotel was beautifully decorated with a mix of modern design and elegant old architectural details. Luxury at a value price!!

Buy a metro card for the number of days. It is good for the metro, trams, trollies and buses. You can use it to get to and from the airport. With it you never have to worry about purchasing another ticket or having the correct change. To get to the city from the airport take Bus 200E from either terminal and ride into the city to reach the last stop on the blue metro line 3. You can take the metro to city center and change to any metro line from there.
