I like the atmosphere and the calming, all inclusive nature of the location. It was very relaxing and a stress relieving experience. Flat screen smart TV also a great source of entertainment to wind down at the end of the day.

The bathroom in the room was considerably small (hard to move around as the door is in the way small) and the "queen" bed was made up of two parts which very easily moved apart making the gap large and the bed fairly uncomfortable when this happened. Expected better than that for the price and the quality of the rest of the facilities.

The hotel was recently (re)opened, thus everything is brand new. The rooms have everything one needs, including welcome apples and protein bars, as well as mineral water (tap water in Budapest doesn't taste great). Breakfast is good; first time I see not only scrambled eggs but omelette with ham and cheese, ready to be taken from a buffet. The selection isn't huge but well chosen, IMO. The only thing that doesn't match the quality of everything else is the bowl of pineapple - which are canned and not fresh. The spa is very modern and inviting. Location was perfect for me, but travellers should know that it takes about half an hour or more to get to the city centre from the hotel. In exchange, you have quiet nights and can take a walk or a run in the forest right at your doorstep.

The check-in was a bit clumsy. At one counter a lady was busy checking a couple in, so I went up to the other counter (at the same reception desk). The gentleman there politely told me that he is the security guard. Fine - but why have someone stand at one of two counters if he is not meant to be there? I don't think I'd be the only one to mistake him for a receptionist... Apart from this, nothing to fault!

The spacious room, the staff were kind and the breakfast was delicious. The fact that is not in the city center, it's quite convenient to get there by car; the parking was free which was really nice; the view and the calm neighbourhood were great points. The view on the garden and the pool were great and were also offered a spa session if we wanted to.

The accoustics in the room were really not ideal as we could hear everything from the other room beside our room, when the TV was on; the mutual wall had both our TV set and the other TV set so there was a cacaphony for both rooms, which was honestly unpleasant. The wifi range was average but it is just a small detail.

Stayed two nights during ‘soft opening’ of the rebuilt Hotel Normafa in Buda Hills, 20 minutes by bus from downtown (also parking available) located near Normafa Childrens’ Railway, lookouts and many walking trails. More an adult hotel with full spa, sauna, jacuzzi and pool all year round, with friendly service. Stayed in Standard Queen Room, first floor, facing garden and pool (on front or entrance side rooms have balconies), quiet due to carpeted floor (as are the hallways), comfortable bed, mini fridge, flat screen tv (inc. YouTube, mirroring and browser), aircon fine, can open windows, curtains can black out light, kettle, water etc., can keep charging devices when outside of room (electricity stays on) and robe plus slippers for spa pool area (think room service is coming soon). Breakfast was very good, many light and healthy options from fresh orange juice, beetroot & green detox juices, standard hot fair inc. omelettes, mushrooms, bacon etc.; Bircher muesli, fruits, a variety of breads, cold cuts and of course coffee and teas. Same dining area (roof at front can open too), terrace and lounge area can also be used during the day while the restaurant & bar runs from 12.00-21.00 with e.g. wine by the glass from EUR2.50 and a menu focusing on light and healthy Hungarian, European and some Asian cuisine. Soups, starters, main courses and desserts with main courses EUR 15-30 includes vegetarian choices; one had roast corn chicken dish with fruit pudding and following evening green salad and breaded cricket with a generous portion of sweet potato chips or wedges, with a couple of glasses of local wine. When fully open, appears there will be a closed (heated) and open grill area out the back, and an enclosed entertainment dome out the front, for all year round.

Free Wifi could have been better, patchy or weak at times.

The Normafa Hotel is very elegant, has excellent facilities, very friendly and helpful and professional staff. The rooms are beautifully decorated, everything has an upmarket feel including thick plush carpet, air conditioning, second to none spa & wellness facilities, and the breakfast is superb. A wide variety of fabulous cafe style food, freshly prepared , including freshly squeezed Health juices and excellent coffees make for a fantastic start to one’s day. A bus stop is very close by and one can get back to the hotel any time of the day & night every 10 min. The night bus goes every hour. I can only highly recommend the Normafa Hotel and I am looking forward to my next visit.

This hotel and the experience I had in this very unique place it was super amaizing, warm, welcoming and the bed was something..sensational, after 14 hours of driving I couldn't have slept better anywhere else. We enjoyed the spa, yoga and carefully chosen food for a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The very nice, clean rooms and the friendly staff made our stay here a dream come true. All the days spent here were a teleportation to heaven. we couldn't wait to come back.

The Hotel is situated in an outside district. Secured by fence and trees and plants. Even Taxi must wait and pass entrance-door. Check-in quickly, spacy room in first floor. Very quiet, A/C available, mosquito-protection when window is open. Big balcony direction to garden and parking-place. Bath with very big shower, all looks brand-new. refrigerator for own drinks. Breakfast good; I enjoy it. Dinner also very okay. Who wants to eat outside: Small italian restaurant with nice food and prices in 1o min walk - ask reception. In front of Hotel bus-stop for 3 lines - you reach center easy in 20 min. Parling-places inside for those who come by car. Hotel has nice swimming-pool and places to lay down and relax. Even good whirl-pool. Hote-Slipper and bath-coat in the room for free use. Free towels waiting on the pool.... - Really worth the price!

Hmmm, that means complaining on high level. Coffee-automat for breakfast is old and produces only a littel warm and not a hot coffee. But that was really just a small point.

The breakfast was very good. From a Canadian point of view I would say typical European fare. Lots of cold meats, cheeses and a good variety of breads. Plenty of fruit and cold cereal choices along with bacon, sausages, eggs. etc. A coffee machine for your individual preferences (Americano, Cappuccino, etc.) Fresh squeezed orange juice. The lunch and dinner menu (same for both) was limited but I think that's because the place was brand new. Only open for four months. However, the chef did a great job with each dish. Very good. The restaurant/bar staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We must point out Zoltan and Marko at being very good at their jobs. The room was large and comfortable. The grounds and the pool area were spectacular. Surrounded by parks. Very nice for walking about. Check out the "Childrens Train" close by for a day trip. A city bus loop right out the front door. Maybe about 30-40 minutes to the downtown Pest side.

If you are looking to be close by to other activities (restaurant and/or bar choices) or museums and other sight-seeing - this might not be the place for you. But, again, beautiful property and very relaxing place. Not quite finished. This will be great in a few more months. High up the hill on the Buda side. The front desk staff could use a little personality. English was ok - not a problem. But, again, I think everybody was new and being trained. Be aware, that you need Hungarian currency. Euros not widely accepted anywhere.

Breakfast had a variety; bread, granola, fruits, pastry and a variety of juices which were amazing and fresh every morning - options there for those who cannot have the meat/vegetarian. The hotel was very modern and had a classy feel to it, with access to the pool, sauna and yoga classes. (Although I did not attend any :)). Hotel room was also equipped with the essentials, kettle, cups etc and a smart tv. Staff were very friendly and polite.

The location - although there are buses going to and from Normafa, the treck into the main city was 30-40 minutes. There isn’t much to do around the hotel within a walking distance, therefore, not the ideal place if you want to go into the city often. However for the quality and price tag, it was definitely a comfortable stay and quieter than the city centre.

A brand new hotel just opened, and everything was very clean and nice. The sauna, pool, and jacuzzi are very clean and new. Breakfast was very good. The location on the top of Buda Hill might be not the most convenient to tourists depending on taxis or public transportation, but we were by car, also bus stop was near and taxi was not expensive.

Dinner at a hotel restaurant, I took pasta Bolognese and that did not meet my expectations of Bolognese in a nice restaurant.
