PEST-BUDA Design Hotel by Zsidai Hotels at Buda Castle

Gorgeous, quaint, stylish, comfortable hotel! So charming, yet with all the modern conveniences. Loved working at the desk with the windows open to the charming street below. The style of the decor was gorgeous. The walkable location to all the castle sites and restaurants was amazing. We loved this hotel.

It’s hard to think of anything. There is a large construction project across the street as they restore a very old building. Sometimes at night, all the plastic they have covering the building would start flapping if there was wind, and in the middle of the night I had a hard time figuring out what the noise was. It’s a fairly quiet sound, but it’s good to know what it is.

What an amazing experience we had! We visited Budapest for a few days of combining exploring the city with relaxation and this was the best choice we could have made. We stayed at the atelier suite and it was one of the best stays we have ever had. It is located in the heart of Buda Castle and it is very close to all the sights of that side but also close to a bus station that can take you straight to Pest. We mostly used scooters to be honest but also the bus which had a very pretty itinerary! The room was amazing and maintained clean and tidy always! Exactly as pictured! The staff was very helpful with everything we needed and any questions we had regarding the city or our stay and always kind and friendly. Breakfast was also great and we had the best croque madame ever! We highly recommend!

Amazing, friendly staff. Power sockets are not easily accessible for toddlers (our daughter is 20 months old, YMMV). Clean, spacious room. Comfy bed, with multiple options for pillows. My wife appreciated this a lot and found the memory foam pillow very comfortable. Very good location.

Since it is a historical building, it has the wooden floors that creak a bit. It was not an issue for us, but if you, your partner, or children are light sleepers, keep this in mind. Tip: Wearing slippers reduced creaking.

Location is really amazing in the middle of Buda castle - fantastic for visiting some historical places and have a nice time in beautiful place. Room is not big but very comfortable, very nice design.

In my opinion you should inform upfront that the included breakfast it is only french breakfast. I think for this price you expect at least to have some choice - especially for people who not eat sweets in the morning can be a problem. The other options from menu are available but with additional fee. Also coffee capsules should be available in the room always- it is maybe a small thing but normally you always get this.

The room and the whole hotel is beautifully designed and the location is perfect. We also liked the size of the hotel, it was cosy.

We would welcome more storage space (some shelves) in the room. At breakfast we were missing some fruit and vegetables and some variety of foods. Instead of two croissants, butter and jam, we could order something else from the menu. Three fried eggs came without anything - no garnish, no herbs, no bread, not speaking about butter. There was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room but the capsules were charged by one euro each. That was a surprise. We had never come across this anywhere else.

The location was excellent if you like to be out of the way of the hustle & bustle of the city. The room was excellent, the bed was very comfortable and the easy access to the Fishermans Bastian was definitely a bonus, especially if you make the effort to get up for sunrise. There are plenty of very good restaurants in the area, we tried a couple and we weren't disappointed. Despite being away from the city centre there is a regular bus, No.16 which makes it easy to make the trip across the river.

Only a few things. The lack of choice for the included breakfast was disappointing, but the croissants were quite nice. To be greeted with a note saying that just one coffee pod for the stay seemed a bit on the tight side bearing in mind the room rate. It turned out that there were no pods in the room so I had to call down to reception for one. They gave me 4 in the end so for 2 people over 2 nights which was ok. The last thing which was out of control of the hotel was the building work directly outside the room. It started early on Saturday at around 7am so not great. There was no mention of this when booking.

The property was in a fantastic location, a couple of hundred yards from the church and fisherman’s bastion with fantastic views of the city and river. The hotel was spotless, our room was beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. when checking in I left my bag with cash and passports in the taxi, the hotel manager rang the taxi firm as I had no information and arranged for the bag to be brought back. I cannot fault this hotel or staff. an amazing stay!

Welcome (warm), location (castle area on a bus route) and room (suite) were great. The shower was powerful and the bed comfortable. The complementary breakfast was more than enough to start the day with. The No 16 bus was a 3 minute walk away and took you down (and more importantly up) from a main interchange. Budapest Card certainly paid for itself! Apart from the odd bus, the area was very quiet at night.

The construction work opposite started at 7.30am Not a problem if you were up and about ready to go out and about but would not help a lie in! This was NOT the fault of the hotel and half of Budapest is being rebuilt!

This fabulous Hotel really lives up to its name! The design elements are really unique and well thought out for the comfort of guests. We love the attention to detail. The staff were fantastic ...Stephen and all of the staff and restaurant staff were very helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the castle area with its wonderful restaurants and architecture! We hope to come back soon!

This is a lovely and charming hotel in great location with helpful staff. We loved the look of the hotel and room. We enjoyed the coffee maker in the room and having a small fridge. We enjoyed the continental breakfast of croissants and coffee, although would have welcomed yoghurt or similar alongside this. We loved Budapest and this hotel added to our good impression. We would stay here again and would recommend.

We felt there was a lack of privacy in the bathroom/toilet due to the insubstantial door and partial glass walls.
