Continental Hotel Budapest

10/10 Excellent
"The Continental Hotel Budapest was one of the highlights of our trip. It is a genuinely beautiful hotel, full of character and atmosphere, yet still comfortable, polished and welcoming. The location is excellent. We were perfectly placed for exploring Budapest on foot, with so much of the city within easy reach and plenty happening nearby. The rooftop area was particularly impressive. Although we did not use the pool, the views across the city were lovely and well worth heading up to enjoy. Our room was comfortable, immaculately kept and a lovely place to return to each evening. Breakfast was excellent too, with plenty of choice and everything presented to a very high standard. Most importantly, every member of staff we encountered was warm, helpful and professional. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. The hotel simply has a very welcoming way about it. There was honestly nothing we could fault. It combined a beautiful setting, a brilliant location and excellent facilities with the sort of thoughtful service that makes a hotel feel special. We left Budapest already talking about coming back, and we would choose the Continental again without hesitation. An easy five stars."
