A perfect place to stay on the Buda side near the chain bridge. The breakfast was amazing and we had a free room upgrade. We were able to take our luggage and walk across the train bridge and get on our boat. In addition, taking the elevator to level -2 parking garage to get near street level so that we could go to nearby restaurants some of which were literally at the bottom of our hill. The only issue was our room faced the alley going down the hill that was used by the public and these people like to party. At one point, there was a group of people singing happy birthday to someone in Hungarian and I followed up in English. That was kind of fun, but otherwise we had minor noise. (I did have my window open because I like a breeze and fresh air.). This was not reflective on the Hotel, this is just me being a menopausal woman. Otherwise, the staff was wonderful and so helpful.
The alley and the hotel is on the left.

Great Great Great.

One of my best finds on our Euro road trip. Location is so close to all Budapest attractions and restaurants. The hotel staff were world class and the breakfasts were amazing! Many stairs though so not good for seniors unless you are in great shape. Parking was handy but limited. Budapest is spectacular and has so much to offer to the truly curious.

This is a good hotel in a great spot close to the chain bridge on the Buda side. Staff were very friendly in this clean hotel. The room is a bit warm & 19 euros for breakfast is a bit steep but we had a great time here overall.

The location close to the Chain Bridge was very good. For $3 more per night, we stayed in a Superior room, nearly twice the size of a standard room. The room was clean and comfortable, but the maid staff had a habit of opening the door without knocking, despite the Do Not Disturb sign being in place. The room was at the end of the hallway and electrical wiring was not extended into walls on 3 sides of our room. Without unplugging both the TV and a dim lamp, we had only 2 outlets, none within 15 feet of the nightstands. Ridiculous. As a retired airline captain with 24 of a 37 years career spent flying to and vacationing in over 100 cities in over 40 countries, this was the worst electrical layout ever seen. The friendly front desk staff was not very helpful with simple questions. The evening and morning desk staffs do not communicate together. The woman at the desk the morning we left was in chaos mode regarding the two shuttles arranged to pick up our group. Overall, I assess this as a nice, 3-star hotel. Given the electrical layout and front desk staff, I would look elsewhere for a next stay in Budapest. Two points deserve extra awareness: (1) There are two, distinctly different but nearly identically named hotels near each other: Carlton Hotel Buda Castle and the Buda Castle Hotel. (2) Unless driving/parking in their garage, the hotel is reached by walking down 15-20 cobblestone stairs or by walking uphill on a short but substantially inclined driveway.

From arrival to departure we felt so welcome. The atmosphere and decor was amazing. The staff were so helpful, on reception they welcomed us with a smile, in the bar they made us some amazing cocktails and were always happy to chat and the housekeeping team did wonders, even coming to check with us that everything was up to scratch after our first day. Situated right next to the chain bridge and the castle quarter there's no shortages of places to eat and things to do. Can't recommend the Carlton Hotel Buda Castle enough.
