I will never go back. It is an apartments block transformed in a hotel. Old building , old rooms, old elevator. Don't go there.

If I travel to Budapest,allways I come in this hotel.They have very flexible price,its possible late check out for free,there are very humans and nices recepcionists,particularly Róbert,he is very nice to everyone,and any request quickly perform,not be charged extra money for bath robes,beutiful view from the rooms,free parking,so we love it here!We like very much hotel staff!

Where to start with this dreadful, overpriced, badly located hotel? Worst ever since I was a back packer 15 years ago.

(one over-riding reason not to stay here is that you will pay a FORTUNE in cabs if you want to go anywhere. The hotel cab driver charges you 25-30 Euros and more to get into town, which is miles away but this is still a total rip off. Some cabs will take you for less, but 80% of Budapest cabs have dodgy meters, so charge you an absolute fortune to get anywhere in the city. Much cheaper to hire a car, or buy one if you are here for a week :)

When I checked in they put me in the other hotel across the 'bridge' they have, the hotel reka or something like that. The room in there was like the one Jody Foster and De Niro are in at the end of 'Taxi Driver'.

It was disgusting. When I sat on the bed a piece of metal came through the mattress and almost cut my leg. You couldn't tell what was carpet pattern and what was stain. Vile.

I then got moved to the hotel I had been booked in, and these were the issues:

FIrst, the Europa is barely two star, it's not even close to three star. NO WAY is it 4.

Second, it's filthy

Third, most of the power points in my room didn't work, and none of the side lights worked

Fourth, you can't open the windows and keep them open so you dehydrate in the night with storage heaters

Fifth, the staff could not care less. Clearly they get paid nothing.

Sixth, you can't get any water, and you can't drink the tap stuff. You can only get tiny bottles that are massively over-priced from the 'mini bar' which is an old fridge in the room.

Seventh, the bed was about 4 inches off the floor with the oddest bedclothes that fall off you so you are either boiling under nylon or freezing if you can get the heating temp down to the point where you are not dessicated in the morning. I barely got any sleep.

Eighth, the room was dirty, dusty, and full of the world's cheapest student furniture

In short, the worst hotel I have stayed in, in ten years of business travel.

Stay in the centre, in the design hotel or a major branded one.

Don't go here, unless to watch it being knocked down...We invented the EU to get rid of hotels like this dump. Roll on the bulldozers.

I felt wonderful in Europa Hotel, but I only spent ona night. Wonderful room and vision from 14th flat.
