Hotels near istituto geologico, Budapest

One of the most budget friendly accommodation in the city! It is in a very strategic location where it is just few meters away from bus stop and metro train station. It is also just few bus stops away from famous tourist destinations. It is near grocery store and vodafone where you can buy a sim card (tip for tourists). Rooms are clean and well maintained. They have self service washing and drying machines, common kitchen and bathrooms, common lounge area, vending machines and many more. This place is wheelchair friendly as well for those who need them. Service wise was great as well. I would commend Thomas from reception for being helpful especially when we arrived from airport at 2AM. Overall, we enjoyed staying here. It is truly a great value for money.

I wasn’t sure what my stay was going to be like as I had never booked something so budget but I was pleasantly surprised. The reception was great, helpful staff, feee tea and other hot and cold drinks to purchase, very cheap prices. The room as I’m sure you would expect was small but it was a two night city break to shower and sleep so perfect for what we needed. Tv had all apps and wifi access for Netflix, YouTube etc The bathroom was tiny but again it had everything you need and the shower was super hot and powerful. If you want 5 star it’s not for you, but if you want cheap, basic, safe, clean and friendly then book here. I would return here for another Budapest visit.

Currently here at the moment and tbh I’m disappointed! Not like the reviews say. It’s a good 45 min walk to the centre of Budepest. The breakfast is lack lustre at most! Luke warm hot drinks, only one side of the toaster works and very basic buffet. Rooms have no tv, or hairdryers! The amenities it says are here simply aren’t, rooftop bar closed, pasta shop never open, spar next door is very limited hours and the staff are rude. If your wanting somewhere to stay with things around it don’t stay here it feels like your in the middle of no where. Nothing much around it so do expect to be walking quite a way to get to anything. I comply understand it’s geared towards student but even these must be bored to tears with the lack of amenities around the hotel, not even anywhere to grab a bite to eat within a good 10 min walk. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not On a plus note the reception staff are lovely

Second time I was in this Hotel . First time was everything OK , but now everything was disaster . After check in we noticed the TV not worked , I tried to call reception but the phone was not worked too. I used my mobile to call the landlines number of the Hotel what is on website and what is in the leaflet in the room, the staff doesn't bothered to answering to the call after 15 min. So I went down , they were busy to chatting inside of the back. Instead of come to check the TV , they gave me 2 batteries to change , the phone they said they couldn't do anything as there is no maintenance. TV had no battery issue , as next day maintenance confirmed , so if the staff members came up to check we have a TV..... I asked to book yellow taxi for me , not Elite black taxi which charge double . Staff said ok , the they booked me Elit black Cab . Because I was on time , I had to use. So paid 5.500HUF instead of 3.000HUF. When I addressed this issues and want to speak with some manager , they told me write a email, so I did. Get response next day , they apologised and gave us a gift in our room . Some chocolate and wine . Chocolate box was open , so I made photo and sent email again to the manager , still until today no response given.... Obviously we left the gift in the room. Top of that last night instead of 3 set towels we got only 2 , while 3 person was in the room... Room was dirty , dust webs in corners.... There is many much better and cheaper 4 dear Hotel around . Never again !!!

The staff here was very nice and helpful, and there were a lot of amenities that were cheaper than I've found in hostels before. You can store your bags after checkout for only 3 euros. I stayed in an eight-bunk room. The en-suite bathroom was filthy and smelled horrific; had to use the hall bathroom instead. The ladders to the top bunks were also pretty treacherous. They did maintenance on the beds while we were staying there, removed some wooden shelves and afterwards there was sawdust on the bed. But this place is run by really caring people; they let you chill out there after checking out and the common spaces are nice. Not worth it at all to get an en-suite though, because you will just be using the hall bathroom anyway.

What a gorgeous hotel . The hotel’s location is excellent, a few minutes walk to the bus station and train. The room were very comfortable and stylish. I love the toilet amenities (shampoo, body wash), I like the smell. We will definitely be back again next time we come to Budapest, next time we will bring our toothpaste and slippers. lol

First of all, it's really good to reserve a spot. The outer edge of the building is a variety of colorful pipes, which are very eye-catching and easy to find. The yellow bus stop is diagonally opposite the hotel lobby on the right. It takes two minutes to walk there. Turn left and walk straight for a few minutes to the subway entrance and exit. There is a chain bakery where you can buy fresh bread and drinks. The hotel lobby is quite comfortable, with quite a lot of guests. Several young people at the front desk are polite but not smiling. Check-in is quite fast, and you can also store luggage for free. The room is not big but quite good. The hotel does not provide toiletries and disposable slippers, which need to be prepared by yourself. My order seems to have no breakfast, but the front desk told me that there is breakfast after checking in. I was very happy. I went to taste it opposite the lobby on the first floor the next day. The food is quite rich, but the various breads are relatively hard, and the toast is soft. Some are cut and some are not cut. You can cut it yourself, but the taste is salty, which surprised me. The various sausages are really delicious, and there are many varieties of cereals and nuts beside the milk. The fruit is fresh, and the honey is also delicious. I stayed for one night and checked out quickly. Overall, I recommend that you can stay again when you come to Budapest

Hospitality at this hotel is pretty much non-existent, especially for what I'd expect of a Novotel. It starts with having no doorman. You'll see this a few times in others comments. They give you one water bottle in your room. Don't expect them to replace it throughout your stay though. That'd be a lot to ask. Room service? I'm not sure if they cleaned the rooms during our stay. They did make the beds. That's about all. When I asked where I might find water, I was rudely directed to purchase a bottle from the restaurant. This is unheard of to me. Filtered water should always be freely provided. The breakfast was also quite mediocre. Huge lineup for coffee, no brewed coffee, which would be quicker to serve. Staff not around. For the price, the breakfast is certainly not worth it. Not a great experience. I won't be returning.

We booked this with Jet2 City Breaks and the picture of the room did look so much better! The room was very basic. There was no tea/coffee making facilities and no mini bar. There was a safe and a hairdryer. You were only given one towel each and one floor towel - no face towels! The room was very warm and we had to leave the window open all the time...The reception area was very nice though and we used the breakfast buffet which did have a fair selection of hot and cold food. Staff were friendly. We found that we were on the wrong side of the river for nightlife and shopping and we kept having to get trams or use the underground to get to the other side as the bridge nearest to us (Liberty Bridge) was closed to pedestrians. It was in a very quiet neighbourhood so no noise at night. We loved Budapest but we were not impressed with the hotel and location.

Hotel is easy reachable by car and has very good connectivity within 5-10 min walk (bus, tram and metro). Interior is cosy and colourful, breakfast is decent, rooms are nice. Perhaps we missed a shelf in bathroom. The only thing that I really didn't understand is price policy and relatively big difference between the price we paid and price advertised on the screen in the lobby. Parking fee of 10€/day could also be included in room rate.
