“Great location to explore Budapest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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 spacious especially for the price we paid. Only complaint to make would be the fact that there wasn't a hairdryer in the room, I had to go and ask for use of one each morning. We didn't have the breakfast while there so can't comment on this.

Jack Doyles bar next door to the hotel was a lovely place for a drink and one of the best things we could recommend here is Faust Wine Cellar in the castle district. Would definitely stay again when next visiting Budapest.

“All well but,”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Exelent location, great service, people extremely helpful, breakfast was OK, for tri star hotel I should say more than expected
But one remark. Hotel does not have garage, and its OK, but hotel has a contract with the nearby garage for 2.400 HUF per day. But, before I arrived I got an e-mail from hotel that I should go to a different garage where the price was 6.700 HUF. The very helpful girl at the reception told me about the deal, so I had to go to first garage, get the car and drive to the second garage. It should be on internet site, so if you come by car, first to drive to cheaper garage, not to expensive one.
For the rest I can highly recommend hotel

Room Tip: Room 116 is big, but on the outside passage level, but very quiet Room 119 some water was heard, so...

“Great Location, fine rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

people found this review helpful

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 clean and comfortable. Free wifi that worked fine, and the breakfast was pretty good. I would definitely stay again.

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

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, probably would stay again.

“Great value !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

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 from the Danube and the Jewish district, is perfect if you like discovering a town on foot ; its pedestrian street makes it a quiet place. Above all, all employees - reception, cafeteria, room service - were most friendly and helpful, and most of them speak English. For a daily €57 - provided you accept advanced booking - I don't think you can easily find a better value downtown Budapest.

Room Tip: Our room (101) was a mini-suite, much nicer than our friends' 215.
