HOTEL PALAZZO ZICHY BUDAPEST

Based on reviews we chose Palazzo Zichy for our stay in Budapest. We are very glad we did. When initially making our reservation the online system didn't show any availability so I emailed the hotel and received a reply very quickly. They did have some junior suites available which we reserved. It pays to communicate directly with the hotel if the online system doesn't have your preference available, we have done this on multiple occasions with good success. Upon arrival we were greeted by very pleasant hotel staff, but no bellman to assist with the luggage so one of the front desk staff came out to help us. Not sure if we arrived after the bellman left, his day off or they don't have one. Whatever the reason, it was not an issue for us, wheels on luggage make transport easy. Check in was quick and we were off to our room in short order. Our room was on the 3rd floor corner facing the church with a balcony and a nice view of the area. We did not hear much noise from the surrounding area, just the church bells occasionally (not at night). The room was spacious and modern. I really like the modern set up where the bed and bath are separated by a wall that is also your wardrobe and shelves. I would definitely request the junior suite again. Prices were very reasonable considering the level of comfort and luxury at Palazzo Zichy. A very comfortable bed and a well thought out placement of outlets for charging modern devices. Breakfast (included) was quite impressive in the dining room on the lower level. Something for everyone to get fueled up for the day of touring or business ahead.

A classic building with a modern interior . I can not express how good this hotel is . Rooms are spacious, spotless and lovely. Staff are exceptional,;friendly , knowledgable and professional. The hotel only offers breakfast but this is perfect , fresh. Plentiful and lots of choice. The prosecco is an extra special touch of luxury. If you want other meals you are welcome to order from a local restaurant who will deliver to the hotel and you can eat in it in your room or the bar . Great location, easy to get to all attractions. I loved this hotel and can not think of one negative to say other than I didn't stay there long enough

This is an excellent hotel within it's class offering good value. It is a grand old building, but with modern facilities and spotlessly clean. The staff are helpful and professional. Breakfast is really good with plenty of choice with attentive staff making sure everything is available even at the busiest times. You can even have a glass of fizz with your meal! Our room was perhaps a little on the small side for a Superior Room, but well equipped and extremely quiet. The hotel is perhaps a little off centre, but in a nice quiet area with nearby restaurants and bars.

This was our first time in Budapest, and the previous excellent reviews were definitely a factor in choosing this hotel, and it did not disappoint. On arrival the reception to the hotel - previously a palace - is grand & modern. Our room was ready at around 1pm, so no waiting, and the staff had left a nice plate of strawberries, chocolates and sparking wine in our room. I had requested a lovely view, and this is exactly we what we had, overlooking the traditional square and the wonderful architecture of the Catholic Church opposite. In the distance, we could also see the top of the palace in the centre of Budapest. The rooms were clean, modern and large with plenty of wardrobe space, a mini bar and a large window which opened right out allowing us to take advantage of the view. In the bathroom, there is a double shower with toiletries provided and a hairdryer. The AC was also very good, not noisy or too cold. An extra bonus is the access to Netflix via the smart TV, if you wanted to watch a film/series. Breakfast is also included - hot food selection isn't vast, (eggs, sausages, mushrooms) but there's lots of fresh fruit, breads, meats and yogurts as well. You can also take advantage of free coffee and water all day in the lounge. Overall the staff were very good, welcoming and helpful. The location is fantastic with gorgeous cafes and restaurants nearby and a main tube station is 5 minutes walk which will allow you to access all the main areas of Budapest. When we return to Budapest, we will definitely stay here, a gem of a hotel.

If this hadn't been the 2nd hotel we stayed at during our time in Budapest, I would absolutely have given this hotel 5 stars. It really is a very lovely hotel, in a quaint square, down the street from several restaurants. The building is physically very beautiful and grand. Our room was also really nice and clean. The breakfast buffet was absolutely enormous compared to our other hotels (one in Budapest and one in Pecs). The only reason that I'm not giving it 5 stars is that we stayed at another hotel in Budapest earlier in the week that was slightly better located, had a significantly bigger room, and was less expensive. Of course, the other hotel didn't have nearly the same expansive breakfast or luxurious feel as Palazzo Zichy, which probably accounts for the price difference. In any case, you can hardly go wrong with Palazzo Zichy. It is a great hotel that I would gladly recommend.
