Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Al Habtoor Palace Budapest, Preferred Hotels & Resorts from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Al Habtoor Palace Budapest is located in the city center, close to major attractions, with convenient access to transport like the metro and the #2 street car that runs along the river to the Chain Bridge and Parliament. Guests often praise the comfortable rooms, spacious suites, and luxurious beds inherited from the Ritz-Carlton. The breakfast receives positive feedback for its delicious and varied options, and Ottima restaurant is mentioned particularly, with one guest highlighting the charming hostess, Luca; however, some guests have noted the street noise that is clearly audible despite rooms being on the higher floors. The hotel also offers a spa with a pool and jacuzzi.

lumpy bed uncomfortable night
The staff were friendly, i guess, and they got me an extra towel when i asked. It was acceptable.
I had a beautiful twin room and one of the beds was noticeably lumpy. I could feel the springs poking through the mattress and it made for a really uncomfortable night. i complained at the front desk but they didn't seem to care much, saying they'd 'look into it' but nothing was fixed . seriously disappointing given the cost of the room.
