We were over new year a few nights boscolo Budapest, have ourselves with the stay felt good. We have a higher room type booked, the rooms are about 50 square meter large and very spacious. The bathrooms from genuine italian marble jacuzzi and shower in the bathroom. One has the agony of the choice. The rooms even with silk wallpapers and beautiful italian furniture, that was relatively simple - but very chic. Not exaggerated and not old decor like very often in this hotel. The rooms were super, would definitely again nächtigen. The very nice and helpful staff, extremely friendly. ... The lobby is simply insanity! So nice and ornate, you could ever see. The hotel from the outside, as well as from the inside is simply a real eye opener and looks superb. The spa is also good-only the water in the pool was a bit too cold for the time of year. That would have the bit higher switch can, but now, you can't have everything. The breakfast was good as well - excellent room service. The beds were very big, the ceiling good and the cushions were very big. There was hard and soft cushions- something for everyone! Would gladly come again! read more

    Standard was booked facilities as in 5 star hotels all clean and tidy maybe slightly small.

    Breakfast is for a hotel of this class rather meagerly held and if not already included in the room rate then rather in one of the other nice cafes enjoy! We had also during the day snacks from the beautiful café New York dishes were very tasty unfortunately the cocktails didn't and the speed of the staff forces one a little longer stay than planned.

    The service at the front desk reminded unfortunately more of a youth hostel than a luxury hotel. From the travel agency was us an early check-in, and late check-out is guaranteed. We are already at 11:00 arrived but unfortunately nobody knew something of our early check-in. We were then in 30-minute intervals comforted why we in the lobby waited but left the hotel then at 16:00 hours without room toward the city. When we at 18:00 o'clock came back was finally a room available but neither the pastries were already there made someone institutions us the room to demonstrate let alone our luggage there to transport. Whilst checking out the same tragedy on the instruction on our guaranteed late check-out got the friendly reference for a extra charge of 70,00 Euro this would be not a problem.

We have already several times for our short stay this hotel and enjoy again and again the special ambience of this historic walls. The subsequent cafe New York is an experience, one shouldn't miss. The staff's hospitality, the tasteful style and the size of the rooms make the stay again and again pleasant. Except for the rich breakfast buffet, which this time in the café New York was served, we have our lunch and dinner enjoyed, which very tasty prepared. Very recommendable also the tasty cocktails. read more

Arrived in Budapest, the room was not available (despite guarantee an early check-in). The staff at the front desk was indifferent, slow. Not all of them spoke English. Unfortunately we have different opinions on questions: a downside. Miles & more would be restriktiert-despite advertising on the table. The hotel is nice. Our room was very large, the bathroom also. A bit of both shabby. Unfortunately, we had a very, very loud room (no sound debris window), the furnishing I would rate as good, but not with 1. The room service did not work at all. Evening service fell out. When ... we had a wish (lhw club-member) was not taken into consideration. You could not deal with complaints. The next time, however, preferably Kempinski or Sofitel. We'have stayed in in Rome (Excedra) Boscolo: a letdown. Unfortunately, nice hotel-but: we will not choose this hotel. read more

One of the best hotels that we ever stayed at!!! and thanks to the "stay longer save more" has the largest suite for 7 days, the cost was what one would normally have to bill for a night! All in all it was a great week, especially the trip with the private bus and German-speaking driver/guide in the Puszta we all loved it! We can really recommend this hotel! read more
