Mera Hotel

The staff were all excellent and this was what stood out most - very friendly and helpful, especially Kristophe on reception who was always happy to answer our questions and give advice and suggestions. We were given a welcome glass of wine, suggestions for restaurants, pamphlets for tours which the hotel were happy to book, and other advice and tips for our stay in Budapest. Every day, the staff asked if there was anything they could help us with and anything we asked for in the hotel eg extra pillows, was dealt with immediately. Our first floor room was large and comfortable with a walk in shower and plenty of shelves and hanging space for clothes. Although on a busy road, the triple glazing meant that although we had asked for a city view room, noise was not a problem - we were not disturbed by noise at all. As it was too early in the season for the change to have been made from heating to air conditioning ( although we could switch the heating off) it was good to be able to open the windows for a couple of hours in the evening when the weather had been 25 degrees during the day. The location was good as it was just along the road from St Stephen's and easy to walk nearly everywhere with plenty of restaurants nearby. We asked in the hotel about public transport which we then used a few times ( trams, buses and metro) eg to go to Heroes Square and it was easy to use and reliable with the same tickets used for each type of transport. There is a metro station just across the road. Breakfast was good with various pastries and cakes, cheese, cold meat, salad, yoghurt, several types of bread and rolls, some fresh fruit, cereals, eggs, sausages, hash browns etc as well as a selection of coffees (machine) and teas. Although the coffee was from a machine, it was good quality.

The location is quite amazing, in a nice central spot almost 15 to 20 minutes away in all directions to all noteworthy landmarks. The hotel staff are nice, attentive. We got welcomed and offered two glasses of wine. They reception is 24h, and they helped us book a taxi after midnight. The rooms are cosy and clean, no noise with good Internet.

The location was perfect - a few minutes away from the Basilica - no need to catch public transportation to reach the center. The bed and the shower were very comfortable. The hotel’s staff was very kind and friendly. Towels were changed every day (upon request), and the room was warm and welcoming.

I liked the location of the hotel, in the very center of Budapest, although in a quiet neighborhood, which I appreciate during my business trips. The room was comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was quite simple, but it offered enough choices to start a day with a full stomach. It's worth mentioning that when one day I had to leave the hotel before the breakfast was served, I asked for a sandwich and it was prepared for me to take away. I appreciate it and it tells a lot about the staff at the place!

We arrived early to the hotel, however staff went above and beyond to check if there was an available room to move us into to allow us to check in early! Reception staff were amazing at showing us all the key areas of Budapest and ensured we were comfortable in our room! The room itself was everything we needed; comfortable bed and good shower. Breakfast was everything we needed to set us up for the busy day ahead! We visited in July and was able to walk to all main attractions in Budapest! However metro stations close by if required to use. The hotel was a short 10 minute walk from the last bus stop on the 100E airport shuttle. Overall, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay in Budapest!
