Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher by Continental Group

Stunning hotel architecture. Good size room for the first few nights. Ok breakfast. Helpful reception staff on the first three days.

Hotel is in a great location. Beautiful reception areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. All very clean. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Air conditioning worked really well, easy to adjust.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The lobby felt like an ancient art museum, but everything else was freshly renovated and well-maintained. We used the sauna and gym, both of which were new and very clean. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a Superior room with a city view, which was great. The room had all the amenities we needed, and the daily cleaning was done really well. The location is also fantastic—less than a five-minute walk to a drugstore and supermarkets, and about ten minutes to a big area with lots of restaurants. Overall, I was really happy with everything at this hotel!

It’s a very charming hotel in the center of Budapest ! Walking distance to most attractions. Close to bus metro and tramway stations. The staff were very friendly and during Christmas we experienced special treats by the staff and hotel. They were very nice with our daughter and we had the chance to participate in the Christmas advent calendar and won wonderful prizes. The room was confortable and spacious and very clean

Really pleased I booked this hotel. It’s in a great location almost equally distanced from the river and city park on a main thoroughfare (Oktogon square is like the Piccadilly circus of Budapest). This meant a lot of areas were well within walking distance as were a wide selection of restaurants. Every time we entered the hotel lobby we were not just greeted with impressive air con (it was 35 degrees outside) and the grandeur of the building but also a sense of calm. All the staff on reception were helpful and spoke excellent English (we only managed the very basics in Hungarian but glad we tried). Our superior balcony room was on an upper floor which sat above the glass ceiling of the lobby. Ok it wasn’t a panoramic city view but it was nice to have some outdoor space. We never managed to work out how (or if it was even possible) to turn the balcony lights off, so were glad the curtains did a decent job. The room and bathroom whilst not massive had everything we needed including mini fridge. We booked Hop on Hop off bus tickets through the reception desk. I didn’t rate the buses, but we got complimentary champagne and macarons in our room which were fantastic! Breakfast was quite the spread and served until 10.30, but they stick to that time so don’t hang about. I particularly enjoyed the fruit strudels, pastries and cakes. Also there’s a filtered water machine so you can top up your own water bottles for the day. We enjoyed our time in Budapest and were surprised that it felt such a safe city to walk about both day and night.
