Amazing experience

I had an amazing stay at the Emerald Hotel; from all of the hotels I've stayed at in Budapest, it was my favorite. The room was comfortable, clean, and had a great view. All the staff were extremely helpful and would promptly deliver anything I needed or asked for. The location was perfect and everything we needed was within walking distance, along with beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.

Great stay in the center of Budapest

We enjoyed the hotel very much. The location was excellent. Close to the main shopping street but in a quiet place. Close to the subway station. We got the corner room. I caught it on sale, so it cost the same as a regular double room, however it was not very spacious. One side of the bed is very close to a closet/dresser and a pole that stood in the room very close to the bed. it was hard to pass through that side of the bed. So I would not recommend paying extra for the corner room. The bathroom was very good, great shower. Not a lot of space around the sink for all the makeup etc. Good breakfast. Coffee from a machine but not bad. You can order from the bar but it costs extra. Comfortable bed. I stayed there with my daughter- Would come again with kids :)

It is hidden away alongside a church in a one way road . The rooms look into a small courtyard and at the side of the church so if noise bothers you this is your place . Wonderful and very helpful staff , very comfy rooms with all facilities, full choices for breakfast , a bar . Great location for walking to all main attractions especially shops , fashion street 2 mins away. Perfect rooftop bar also 2 mins away

Great location

We were spending a weekend in Budapest and chose the Emerald because of its central location. Our room had a lovely terrace (shame about the rain😢). The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Note there are no coat hooks so there was nowhere to hang our wet clothes. There is a major problem in the bathroom. The large bath was excellent but there is no separate shower. There is a “handheld” shower head but it was impossible to use it without flooding the bathroom. Others have praised the breakfast but sorry, I found it a bit dull and repetitive. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful.

We loved the new design of the building in contrast with the ancient church it shares space with. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Restaurant choices were wonderful too.

The Emerald Hotel is an excellent standard. It was opened around 2021 and has modern facilities and is well equipped. It is beautifully clean and the bathrooms maybe the best we've seen. Great power showers, choice of sprays, very clean and endless hot water, heavenly! The staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. It's in a great location for shopping and accessing the tourist sights. All of which are walkable. I can't recommend highly enough! We had a wonderful stay!
