What guests think

At Nemzeti Hotel Budapest - MGallery Collection, travelers praise the historic, elegant building, very convenient location by metro and trams, and generally friendly staff, creating a comfortable base for exploring Budapest without relying heavily on taxis or long walks.

Breakfast is widely praised for range and quality, though several guests mention slow replenishment or some average items. Rooms are often quiet and comfortable in a charming setting, but reports include soft mattresses or large pillows, limited views from some courtyard rooms, and intermittent heating or air conditioning issues. Cleanliness is generally solid, yet some cite missed details, musty corridors, bathroom drainage problems, and the sauna being out of service; a few also experienced booking mix-ups or early check-in refusals. Best for guests who prioritize character and comfort over strict uniformity.

Really nice hotel in a great location. Rooms spotless and breakfast really good. The hotel is like a boutique hotel - lovely decoration and feels luxurious. We didn’t eat there in the evenings as the menu was very limited and a little uninspiring - additionally, there are lots of fine restaurants in Budapest and it’s incredibly cheap to eat out. Bar area small but nice and staff really attentive. Would recommend to anyone.

Vi har tidligere boet på Nemzeti, og jeg må desværre sige, at standarden er faldet betragteligt. Specielt var morgenmadsrestauranten temmelig ringe. På trods af masser personale blev der ikke fyldt op, der manglede glas og mange af de varme madvarer, var man løbet tør for. Personalet piskede rundt som hovedløse høns, og der var kun “bobler” 1 ud af 3 dage. Restauranten er desuden begyndt at se træt og slidt ud. God service i hotelbaren og i receptionen. Hotellet ligger centralt, og lydisoleringen i værelserne mod gaden er effektiv. Værelserne er små, men pæne og rene og gode senge.

Attractive building and public areas. Check-in on a Sunday evening very good with friendly member of staff. Bar tender also friendly and accommodating. Not all day time reception staff as friendly. Room comfortable, but quite drab, could easily be brightened with more colourful curtains. My room seemed to have a WC plumbing problem with sudden, very loud noises and accompanying bad odours. Excellent location for all the public means of transport of Budapest opposite the hotel.

Fint hotell med helt ok rom. Er ikke fan av at bad/toalett ikke har ordentlig dører så minus for det. Fant busemenn klint på veggen over seng som var fryktelig ekkelt. Ellers virket rommet rent. Hyggelig betjening som var serviceinnstilte. Frokosten var OK ++ litt dårlig utvalg med frukt og virket ikke som maten ble skiftet ut hyppig nok den siste halvtimen så noe av varmmat var litt tørt når man spiste Sent. Lokasjoner til hotellet tror jeg nesten ikke kan bli bedre, så terningkast 6 på lokasjon. Soltette gardiner som gjorde det helt mørkt som er viktig. Aircondition fungerte ikke helt optimalt, så det bli ikke så kaldt jeg skulle ønske, men det var ikke helt krise heller. Ble kald nok til at man fikk sove. Hotellet var ganske dyrt, men det var både Metallica og Coldplay konserter når vi var der, så vil tro det skrudde opp prisen en god del. Ingen problem å bo på dette hotellet igjen ved en senere anledning.

Beautiful old purpose-built hotel with just 80 rooms. If you like historic hotels, this is a decent choice. Initially we were put in an end room on the 3rd floor with a small window and ugly view. They graciously accommodated our room change request so we could have a slightly better view. Interior of both rooms were cozy and quiet. However, the twin beds (or the mattress toppers on the beds) sagged and were a bit uncomfortable. Also water pooled up in the shower. Everything else was great. Exceptionally convenient transportation and nice to be a block away from the famous NY Cafe.

The room was little smaller, but biggest thing is the hotel had shut off the heat for the building. So even though it was little cold outside, we could not have heat. It was okay, but would have been more comfortable if we could turn and control heat in the room.

Great location for transport and near NY Cafe. Loved the historic building and cute room, but a shame that 'courtyard' rooms overlook an unattractive roof addition, not really a courtyard. At first we had a room with a single window overlooking a shelf of gravel but manager kindly moved us to a slightly better room with a double window overlooking the roof. In the new room, beds were far too soft and sloping, and pillows far too large for comfort, which we didn't realize until bedtime and did not have the heart to ask for another move. In spite of the discomfort, i might choose M again (bringing my own pillow) for its unique character and especially because of the excellent attention from the manager who personally escorted us to our new room, discussed the history and architecture of the building, and was exceptionally kind and friendly. Also, kudos to housekeeping for a spotless room and friendly good morning greetings when we passed in the hall. That small gesture really helps guests feel welcome.

Room was ok, bathroom good, mattress not the comfiest ever slept in. Room very warm and the a/c didn't seem to be working. Weather was cold so better to be too warm than cold, but it was too hot. Good location close to shops, restaurants. Had a very early flight so they provided a breakfast to go which was very nice - sandwiches, cereal bars, apple, water, chocolate.

Hotel reception told me and my colleague that our rooms are no longer available , even though I had already paid for one night. Reason was some 'maintenance issues' and we had been selected to be moved to another hotel , due to ' our short stay of 2 nights ' . The staff stated thet tried to contact me in advance but I have checked with no evidence of this while I had been travelling to the hotel. To be fair these things happen, but the lack of comms and reasoning behind our selection was poor. The reception operative at the hotel was polite , but the whole situation was a huge inconvenience at the end of a long days travel for businees.

Personally, it was probably the nicest hotel that I’ve ever stayed at. We were able to check in early for a small fee, which was ideal since we came from the US and we’re needing a rest. The included breakfast was fantastic. The staff was very polite and helpful. I ordered a taxi back to the airport on the second to last day and they had it there early for us. Great all around.

They were always willing to help anytime we needed assistance or had questions. The hotel itself was very unique, I love that it has a rich history and its well maintained. The breakfast buffet was great with many different options. We loved the fresh honey, right out of the honeycomb. The amenities and toiletries in the room was a great touch and the complimentary glass water bottles was very appreciated. The big bed and plush pillows were just what we needed after long days of touring the city. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

The worst experience/ I like Mgallery - it gives you a sign of quality, but not in Budapest- everything was bad from a to z From the first step till the last minute Tiny room, cleaning lady who opened my door twice without notice like it her room and she is at home / the reception stuff - never on their work place , like never. Not pod to opens the windows- the area is exactly near the tram station - so it’s a disaster, air conditioning is old so it’s kind of scary to use it - you never know what kind of dust is there, oh also after I took a shower all bathroom was covered with a water - I needed to use all towels to clean it, there just terrible

Nel complesso una buona struttura, nello specifico il materasso in camera da letto da rivedere con topper di una misura più piccola rispetto allo stesso. Il bagno assente di bidè e per questo motivo piccolo di metratura, secondo noi sarebbe stato piacevole un doccino accanto il water. A causa del corridoio stretto l'apertura esterna della porta del bagno coincideva esattamente con l'apertura delle ante dell'armadio, sarebbe stato più comodo trovare ante scorrevoli dell'armadio. Ottima cucina del ristorante, ma sempre lo stesso menù.

All staff spoke English as well as Hungarian of course. The breakfast offered a wide range of high quality food catering for all dietary needs. I particularly liked traditional Hungarian options like pogacsa, kakaos csiga and a langos like bread with topping. The Austrian favourite, Kaiserschwarrn was also delicious, along with the fresh honeycomb and seasonal fruit. The location of the hotel is excellent, right on the tramline as well as having metro (=underground) and bus links. And it’s also an attractive building inside and out.
