Hotel Mediterran

Very clean and good value. However unless you are happy to use public transport or taxis, you’d be better off staying in Pest rather than Buda as my grown up son and I had 45 min walks to restaurants. Also, try and select a room on with a number 6 or higher (not overlooking the front) which is a bit noisy with main roads and trams. Breakfast was a little mundane but plenty to fill yourself should you wish

A very clean and modern hotel. The breakfast is by buffet help yourself. The fare is varied and plentiful. If you are a light sleeper try and get a room at the back of the hotel as the hotel is situated near a busy four road intersection. It didn't bother us as we used to traffic noise living on a busy road at home. The public transport is excellent and a bus stop into the city will be found about seventy five metres from the hotel. You cannot buy tickets from the driver, across the busy intersection where the return bus stops on it's return from the city is a ticket machine. Purchase a 24, 48, 72 hour or longer bus pass, this will allow you to use all the public transport in Budapest except the Hop on and Hop off buses. This includes the trams and the metro. If you don't want to buy a ticket you can still use the bus without one as the driver will not check. However, occasionally an inspector will be on the bus to check tickets, if you don't have one you will be faced with a large fine. By bus it takes some ten minutes to get to Elizabeth bridge, get off there or the next stop some fifty metres further on. Check your map and look for Vaci Uta, this is a traffic free road with numerous restaurants. We found Cafe Ana to be a good place to eat and drink as it is situated in a pleasant spot and just across the road from the indoor market. Finally, if you do decide to walk to Elizabeth bridge from the hotel be prepared to encounter a lot of traffic en route, it is further than you think and not very enjoyable on a hot day.

Great place to stay, easy to get to the centre of budapest with transport stops just outside. Good sized rooms which were very clean. The whole hotel was spotless. The breakfast was consistently good and lots of variety to choose from. The only negative is I really wanted to use the spa in the hotel after plenty of walking but the receptionist when asked just said "not available" I enquired when it may be available or could i book a slot and she was reluctant to tell me any information and just shrugged her shoulders!

Lovely hotel out of the city centre but very good public transport connections, nice varied breakfast, clean room and friendly staff, there’s a very good bar/restaurant two mins walk away too, good doors and good prices. We used the hop on hop off bus the first day and then got the Budapest go app which is very cheap.

This is our third time in this hotel. Our first visit was in 2019, second in 2022 and now. The hotel is easily accessible by car, the bus and tram stations are less than a 2-minute walk away. Hotel also has a private garage and its not free. Hotel is clean, rooms are comfortable, breakfast is good and staff is so friendly and helpful. Little bit of moderation would be great but still I would highly recommend!! Nearby is excellent pub!

Very good hotel.close location to Buda castle and the bridge to cross. Super friendly staff is a bonus. Ac was lacking to blow cold air. Would recommend.

This hotel albeit a little dated was very clean and adequate for our requirements which was somewhere to rest after a day of exploring. We were approximately a mile and a half walk away from the bridge over to Pest. We chose to walk and not use public transport which meant we came across beautiful spots which we may have missed had we used public transport. One of these, not too far from the hotel was The Garden of Philosophy on Gellert Hill. We booked on a room only basis and had the buffet breakfast at the hotel on two occasions which was reasonably priced. The hotel had a small fridge in the room, along with tea and coffee making facilities, towels and a hairdryer. There were extra pillows available and our room was quietly situated to the back of the property. The gentleman that checked us in was warm and friendly despite it being the middle of the night and advised us that the hotel was not serving lunch or dinner during our stay. This was disappointing and quite inconvenient on the second night when we were tired and didn’t fancy venturing back into town. We grabbed a couple of sandwiches from the garage across the road but they were pretty grim! I’m not sure if this is standard from the hotel or just a one off. They did host a wedding reception while we were there which was very noisy until around midnight but other than that a quiet hotel. We weren’t made aware of a sauna which I see they advertise. We would return to this hotel again should we be lucky enough to visit Budapest again.
