Hotel Central Basilica

The hotel is very well located and overall quite nice. We stayed in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, but the layout was a bit unusual. Both bathrooms had their entrances from the living room—not from the bedrooms—so to use the bathroom, you had to walk out into the common area. This setup can be inconvenient, especially if you’re traveling with teenagers, like we were. If I forgot something like my makeup, I had to fully dress and walk back out to get it, since neither bathroom was en suite. Also, the hotel did not provide robes, which would have helped in this situation. One of the bathrooms wasn’t very clean. It had a glass door, and there was soap residue right at the handle, which made me question how thoroughly it had been cleaned. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly and helpful. At checkout, they were kind enough to store our luggage so we could enjoy more time in Budapest without carrying everything around. One thing to keep in mind: the hotel has no dedicated loading zone. You’ll need to park around the corner and carry your luggage in from the street, which can be tricky if you’re traveling with children or have a lot of bags. Just plan accordingly.

The hotel was excellent, they cleaned our room every day, brought us maps of the city's main attractions, and brought us water in the hotel's refrigerator. The only problem was at night, the air conditioner only heats and it was really hot in the room at night and we couldn't turn on the air conditioner on cold. Other than that, the hotel is excellent!

I booked two rooms at Central Basilica Hotel for the night of 11/06/2025, and it was a complete disappointment. The rooms were dirty, dusty, and had visible signs of poor cleaning. Even worse, there were insects all over the place, making it feel completely unhygienic. The air conditioning didn’t work in either room, which made staying there unbearable given the hot weather. We had no choice but to leave and find another hotel. We returned to the hotel to speak with someone and request a refund, but no staff was available to help us. No explanation, no support, nothing. I’ve attached photos of the room conditions so others can see for themselves. I would strongly advise against booking here. Our experience was unacceptable, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the same.
