My stay at the Intercontinental Budapest was a mixed experience. The stunning views of the Danube River were absolutely amazing, and the central location made it easy to explore major attractions. However, I found the overall service and cleanliness not quite up to the level expected from a hotel of this caliber, particularly with issues around room cleaning and staff responsiveness.

I had a stunning week at the Intercontinental Budapest, enjoying amazing views of the Danube and the Buda Castle. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Chain Bridge and local markets, making my sightseeing effortless. However, the breakfast service was chaotic at times, and the check-out was a bit early at 10 AM. Overall, the experience was good, and I would gladly return to this beautiful hotel.

I had a pretty good stay overall, but there were definitely a couple of low points. The location is stunning, right along the river with amazing views, which makes it worth it. The breakfast was kind of overpriced, but I discovered they had a more affordable dining option that I really enjoyed. On the downside, I did run into some cleanliness issues in my room that kind of marred the experience.

I had a lovely stay at the Intercontinental Budapest. The views from my room overlooking the Danube and Buda Castle were simply amazing, especially at night when everything was lit up. However, I found some aspects, like the room's decor and the bathroom size, to be a bit dated, which detracted from the overall experience. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I did face some challenges during breakfast service where I felt the organization could improve.
