Hotel Zenit Budapest Palace

Solid four-star hotel well located for all main sights and with good transport links and amenities nearby. About a 5-min walk to the Elizabeth Bridge and 15 mins to Parliament and less to the Basilica. Room 307 was internal facing so quieter and of good size and modern decor. Excellent shower and bathroom. Service standards are high. Small downside was that the AC is one of those that, once the temp hits say 22 degrees, will turn off. And come back on again a few minutes later when the temp rises. Annoying. You also get a lot of corridor noise as the room door is thin and not well sound-proofed.

Great location and excellent service from Alfonso on reception. We visited all of his recommendations during our stay. The room had everything we needed, I have only marked down by one star as it was very hot and we couldn't get the thermostat to work so opened windows instead. Also no milk for the tea in the room but this was provided when I requested it. Breakfast was very good with eggs cooked to order if requested. Would definitely stay again.

My friends and I just returned from a marvellous stay at this hotel. Roland on reception was very helpful and had great English. He gave great directions and advice and the reception area was a light and gorgeous place to hang out. The hotel was very well placed and in the centre of things on the Pest side of the Danube, very close to the Chain Bridge so you could walk over to Buda very quickly. The river trips are also only a 5 minute walk away. The breakfast was wonderful, where you could order your eggs, mushrooms, bacon etc freshly cooked or other delicious items from the heated buffet which was fantastic for gluten free and dairy free and suited me well (with gluten free bread on request). They also had the usual cold buffet, which looked nice. The chef was very helpful and nice. The rooms were quiet, spotless, freshly refurbished and stylish with very comfortable beds, huge windows, an enormous shower/gorgeous sink with room for your toiletries and radiator to hang/dry your towel. Toothbrushes/paste, shower cap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser provided. All in all the building had an elegant feel about it. There was a little bit of work going on but it didn't really bother me. A little noise early in morning from the bin van if you have your window open but you can just close them and use the aircon for peace and quiet.
