HOTEL NEMZETI BUDAPEST - MGALLERY COLLECTION

historic building with beautiful details, modern rooms, excellent breakfast very nice hotel personnel, always eager and helpful with every question or querie we had location in walking distance to downtown in Pest part of Budapest public transport just around the corner

We stayed at the Nemzeti in March (16th-20th) in room 205. Our stay was part of my birthday celebration and received a bottle of Hungarian Sparkling wine which was a lovely touch. The hotel is very stylish, warm and welcoming and very clean. 205 is an internal facing room towards the back of the hotel, so was very quiet. The staff were very helpful esp Igor (Ashton Kutcher lookalike..lol) he showed us to our room and round the hotel explained meal times etc. Breakfast is very plentiful and had something for everyone. We didn't eat in the on site restaurant, but we did have a few cocktails when we returned for the day. It did rain during our stay but they provide umbrellas at reception. Our flight home was early evening so asked if we could leave our cases for a few hours until our taxi arrived, not a problem. The hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk to the river which is beautiful at night. We know our way around Budapest as this was our 3rd visit together, the hotel was a bit further out to where we've stayed before but didn't bother us to much. There's bus, metro and tram stops just outside so you'll be able to get about. We would defiantly recommend this hotel.

My first trip to Budapest, and I booked based on the consistent quality of the Sofitel name. I was not disappointed. The rooms were spacious, and a bit modern, with very comfortable beds and a well-stocked mini bar. The hotel restaurant (where we ate the first night) was very very good, and the breakfast every morning (included with the room) was one of the better European buffets I've enjoyed. Staff went out of their way to be helpful (traveler tip: let them arrange your taxi, the quality of the drivers they summon is far superior to ones you randomly get on the street), including reminding us to take umbrellas when the forecast called for rain. The location was also good, as my daughter and I were able to walk to many of the sites, and the rest required only a short (and inexpensive) taxi.

Lovely hotel in beautiful old building. Delightful and very helpful staff. Handy to location for transportation and walking distance to local shops, sights, restaurants & bars. I would stay here again.

Great hotel with amazing staff. Would highly recommend staying here. Right beside a metro station but within walking distance of all the major sites. We emailed the hotel after our trip to say how much we'd enjoyed our stay and how all the staff deserved a raise because they were all great. Got a nice email back saying they appreciated the comments and we would be happy to know the staff had recently received a raise. Nice touch and we were glad the staff were getting the credit they deserved. Budapest itself was a great city. Only tip would be to book your parliament tour in advance. We missed out cause we left it to the last day. Also check out the ruin bars, lots of fun.
