A good, basic hotel. Nothing fancy but I don’t need fancy. The staff were exceptional. My favorite thing: my room had a folding drying rack, a godsend when one has been traveling for a while and has clothes to rinse out.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a really good location that was walkable to a lot of the sights with a lot of restaurants nearby as well. Good continental breakfast that kept us full for a long time. Some reviews talked about creaky beds and the outside being noisy but we didn’t find that. The bed’s were also super comfy. Would definitely come back again.

A comfortable hotel close to everything
A Very nice hotel room that is really close to Kalvin Ter (3 minute walk from the airport bus 100E). The room was comfortable, spacious, and clean. There is an elevator if you come with lots of luggage like I did. Everything is accessible through the use of keypads, making it a contact-less check in. However, I found out that I still needed to go to reception with my ID so they could input all my information. I enjoyed my stay because of how close this hotel room is to everything. There are markets and restaurants across the street, and it is really easy to connect to most forms of public transportation to get to other parts of the city.

Clean and great location
The property was very clean and well organized, though a little cold. The front desk service was helpful and courteous. The location was superb, near many restaurants and tourist attractions. Overall I was very pleased with the whole experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable no frills place to stay in the city center.

This is the perfect spot for someone who wants to be in Budapest economically, in a pleasant, perfectly adequate and comfortable "hotel" (it's not like a full-service hotel, but there was quite a good breakfast). It's old fashioned, an old, once-gorgeous mansion-type building, with the curved staircases and super-high ceilings, and there's real furniture (old, not sleek or slick) and a lovely sense of comfortable. I've stayed here more than once. I would always choose to be here for my needs if it's available. Also I could arrange an affordable transfer from airport. Prompt communications through email. I'm very happy with the two nights there and will come again.

Kálvin Haz is an excellent hotel but what’s even more amazing is their staff. The receptionist, Reka, went out of the way to help us when we arrived early from an overnight flight. We will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone we know & I’ll definitely come back the next time that we visit Budapest.

It has it all.
This is a great place to stay. The staff are very helpful and the new receptionist is an asset to the hotel. She and staff were very helpful to ensure our needs were covered whether in and at the hotel or questions we had as a tourist. The room was very good and our only problem was the toilet seat which was not fitted correctly, (however this was a common problem in so many hotels and needs to be addressed generally.) It had a lift, and the position of the hotel was ideal for easy access to the Metro and Main railway station. We also had access to some very good eating places, either in market (just down our street some 3 minutes) or opposite the front of the market down a lovely street of many eateries. This place was ideal for all requirements. This is the second time we have stayed,

Brilliant three-day stay
Brilliant three-night stay. Hotel reception very friendly and helpful. Room spacious and clean. Hotel very quiet which was very nice, and the air conditioning was a real bonus in what was a very hot and humid Hungarian summer! I had an academic commitment at the nearby university, so it was also a perfect location, and very close to shops, transport links, and the airport shuttle service. I would certainly stay here again.

For the suite, the bed was not comfortable. It was not a mattress. Wooden floor tiles moved when you stepped on them. Staff was great and location is convenient for public transport with plenty of nearby restaurants.

Lovely little hotel
I was nervous about going as I booked before I realised about the check in times. However I emailed them and they confirmed the arrangements which were simple. The rooms are beautifully clean and simple, but they are basic rather than luxurious. I would definitely stay here again. The staff are lovely and cannot do enough to help you. If I stayed again I would ask for a different room that didn’t face the Tesco opposite but actually it was quiet at night.

It is an old and beautiful building with high ceiling and wood floor. The bed is very comfortable. The manager is a perfect gentleman and his staff are most helpful. The breakfast is light with good coffee. The hotel is situated near the market and the beautiful Green Bridge. It is very close to the Danube and the famous Turkish thermal bath you. I had a great time.

Charming , old fashioned building with grand rooms, high ceilings and heavy wooden doors in a quiet area just down the street from the Central Market and near the river. Staff all spoke English, were very helpful and welcoming, and offered extra services like airport transfers and event bookings. Breakfast buffet was typical and OK standard although not spectacular Some room fittings were in need of attention - a few loose parquet flooring tiles, bathroom door kept sticking, some scary-looking electrical fittings round the place but the rooms were warm and spacious. It would probably benefit from a bit of a makeover however for the price it was fine and really rather quaint; we liked it.

Room is amazing. High ceilings like 3m high, and a private balcony which I did not expect. Location is excellent, close to river, and two M stations for underground/tram/bus. Easy walk to the center or across to Buda. Breakfast was ample and good but not hot, be aware of that. Great value and everyone on staff was super friendly and helpful.
