Great hotel, the only problem we had was the door was tricky to open and close, maybe reception could offer advice when guests check in. And the shower in the room kept falling down which did get a bit annoying.

Changed hotel without our consent

We didn’t book for fun. We booked Star city hotel and they sent an email at 11am saying we can’t accommodate you and given us this without our consent . We didn’t expect this kind of arrangement

Worried on the way to the room, but acceptable

The room was clean and fine for an overnight stay for my family. Walking to our room, we saw that the carpets in the hallway were filthy and were concerned that the room would be the same. The room was acceptable.

Excellent placed hotel, ideally located within walking distance of City Park- which is absolutely stunning. Also a bus stop directly across road from hotel and Keleti rail station within ten minutes, which serves as a perfect transport hub for exploring Budapest and beyond. Hotel staff are incredible! They couldn’t be more helpful and are always willing to answer any questions you might have. Lovely open space on arrival where you can relax and enjoy a coffee. Room was warm and cosy and serves its purpose. Breakfast was outstanding! Pastries, cereal and fresh fruit- also selection of cheese and hams. Great coffee.

The room is corresponding to the photos. It is standard and quite clean and spacious. The breakfast was really poor, it was obvious they tried to make economy on a single things there.

The Star Hotel had a certain 'twinkle'

I and a friend had an enjoyable 5-night stay. We found all staff (front of house, catering and cleaning) to be friendly and attentive. When i had a little issue with my room, reception had no hesitation in moving me once availability allowed. Was pleased to have both a working safe and fridge in the room along with other comforts you would expect from a good, 3-star hotel. All areas of the hotel were clean and tidy and the breakfast, although possibly a little repetitive, was both abundant and tasty.
