This hotel is an excellent choice. It is clean, comfortable, very well-located and really good value for money. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. For anyone looking for a 3 star hotel this should be on your list. More

My self and two friends stayed in this hotel from 21/12/11 to 23/12/11. The hotel provided everything we wanted for the price we paid. The rooms were nice and comfortable, staff very friendly and a perfect location. If and when I return to Budapest I will return to this hotel. More

We came here for a four night Christmas break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was brilliant, only a few minutes walk from the Vaci Utca, making it very easy to get to the lovely Christmas market and to explore further parts of the city via the metro. Rooms were clean, towels and beds made every day and very... More

You couldn't ask for a better location, in the middle of the city and yet on a quiet side street. I even had the room at the very end of the building so my windows looked out onto a busier street, and the noise level was still not a problem. The rooms are fine---nothing to write home about decor-wise, but... More

Pilvax is a nice 3 star hotel. Location is good very near Budapest center and close to metro station. Room was big and clean. There wasn't minibar in the room but there was a fridge, although I'm not sure if it worked. Breakfast was included in room price, but it was quite basic. Overall nice clean hotel with good location,... More

Thanks to a couple of US friends, we found and booked a week at City Hotel Pilvax. Of course, if you want caviar for breakfast, don't go there (I read a review according to which their breakfasts were poor). But they do have decent, if not luxurious, breakfast buffets. The location in the Pest part of the city, not far... More

We were tired and looking for a nice place to rest when we got to this hotel (which we had already booked) Boy! were were in for a (not so nice) surprise!

City Hotel Pilvax is located at a prime location on the Pest side of the Danube River, offering the budget-minded traveler with a veritable springboard to launch your Budapest excursions. While slightly dated (there was an integral [albeit deactivated] intercom system built into my nightstand), what the hotel lacks for in fancy amenities it makes up for in other areas.... More

It was hot outside when we checked in, at around 8:00 p.m., and the air conditioner wasn't working throughout the building. We were told the technician would be fixing the problem (it was a Saturday).
