“Intercontinental Budapest's prime location puts guests at the heart of the city, steps from the Chain Bridge and with enviable Danube views; inside, the Lebanese restaurant, ARZ, promises an authentic dining experience. I think the Club InterContinental's personalized service is a smart touch for discerning travelers, while the grand ballroom is ideal for large events. A solid choice, blending location and luxury.”

The hotel location was amazing. I found lots of variety in the breakfast options and they offered gluten-free choices. The hotel overlooks the river and my room had a great view.

The food quality was average. Check-in took twenty-five minutes. checkout was slow and the receptionist seemed inexperienced. Payment processing took nearly half an hour and providing the invoice was problematic.

The location provided easy access to attractions. A tram stop was just outside. I found the breakfast to have lots of choice. A pianist played in the bar area. I enjoyed this at the end of each day.

The TV service dropped out despite a technician visit. I reported the shower rose holder broken on the first day. It was never fixed. The cooked food was cold when I got it from the buffet though I queued long for eggs.
