Great location, friendly staff, very clean.
The best about this hotel was the location. Very close to all transports, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff was always willing to help and very friendly. My room was clean.
9.7
The hotel does not have a very appealing or modern look from the outside or even inside. However, the positive things of this hotel made my stay very confortable and pleasant. The rooms are not big, but are very well equiped (TV, safe, wardrobe, desk, mini-fridge/bar, water heater to make tea, wi-fi connection). I was there in November and I can say I was really happy that my room was really well heaten all the time. I never felt cold inside my room. There was heating in my room and in the bathroom. Also, room & bathroom were very clean and were cleaned everyday. There was hot water with good pressure in the bathroom. The breakfast was good, had variety of food, however it should have more variety of bread. The staff was always helpfull and nice. Regarding the location, it couldn't be better: it is next to supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, bars, discos, all transports and main avenues. With a few minutes walk and we are close to the river! I was really happy with my choice, great value for money!
Travel tip:
When going from the hotel to the airport, buy the airport transfer. They pick you up at the hotel and leave you at the airport, and only costs 2500 forints (around 8,7€), which is really cheap considering that the airport is relatively far from Budapest.

I booked double room with double bed but despite of my request they gave me two single beds. Cleanness was average. There was no tissue paper and no shampoo in hotel. The beds were of poor quality. Also the rooms were bit small.
However the Hotel have great location, good helpful staff, fine breakfast.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
No need to take Metro or bus if you are looking for sight seeing.

Value, competence, location, adequate
location, clean, quiet, multi-lingual staff
7.3
Location: Perfect. Right in the middle of all the social/night life of Pest. Very accessible by all forms of public transport. Great base for city exploring. On a quiet street without much foot or vehicle traffic. Within 1km of dozens of bars, eateries, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, butcher shops, grocery shopping, etc. Staff: Attentive & multi-lingual. They all spoke functional English. Not the friendliest people, but certainly not rude or dismissive. Just matter-of-fact. Housekeeping staff were mostly unobtrusive and attentive (a little noisy in adjoining rooms); the room was cleaned every day...even when they had already passed my room in the morning. Housekeeping came back upon my request to the reception staff on those occasions when I asked for late-morning/early afternoon service. Room: Small but functional and CLEAN, if a little dated and worn around the edges. SPOTLESS ensuite bathroom, though small. Functional & reliable ablutions facilities. Shower water pressure was fine; a little weak in the sink faucet. But the hot and cold water were DEFINITELY hot and cold all around. All linens were clean and functional. Short bed, short duvet/comforter, but not a problem given the reliable climate control and my level of tiredness every night. Functional & reliable a/c. Spartan & dated but functional furniture in room. Sparse clothing storage space; one wardrobe (8 hangers, no shelving), 2 small bedside cabinets with shelving. No awards for style. Facilities: lobby bar, restaurant, lobby-accessed garden/smoking area. Included breakfast buffet was filling and tasty; good but not great. Long on meat, cheese, & eggs, short of fruit, fiber, & cereal. No need for the restaurant outside of breakfast given the choices nearby. No need for the lobby bar given the hotel's location. The clean and neat garden is more like a patio; smoker friendly. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby areas.
Travel tip:
This is the perfect place to stay in Pest if you just want a clean, safe, & functional place to crash that ISN'T a hostel. Every request I made to the staff via email before I arrived was answered quickly and was granted without question. You won't be entertaining any guests of your own here; there just isn't any space in the room. And why would you where there are so many places within a 5-min. walk where you and friends can gather to eat, drink, & be merry? This place doesn't pamper you overly much, but if you're a seasoned traveler with no interest in spending all you time in a hotel it's ideal. It's location in the middle of the Jewish section of the city is fantastic; best feature of the place, hands down. While the staff is attentive and helpful, don't expect the typical American/western European service mentality. Late at night the staff may lock the front door, so if you come home late you have to right a bell for entry. That being said, access was almost immediately granted by a staff member after ringing. The staff tend to sleep/nap on the lobby couches during the wee hours of the night/morning, but that never bothered me. One staffer would always pop up to attend to me whenever I was heard coming or going, but I always encouraged them to return to sleep as I wasn't in need of their attentions 99% of the time. So though they're not completely professional, they do take their roles seriously in a different way. There is no need to use private/commercia/taxil transport to/from the airport/hotel. Bus and metro can get you there, with a 15-minute walk to/from the closest metro stop (Deak ter, blue line). All up the one-way transit is a little over an hour. In summary, I was very pleased with the value for money of my stay at King's Hotel. If I were to have another chance to go to Budapest and needed basic, functional, solid, 3-star accommodations without frills as a base for tourist operations, I'd choose this place again.

The hotel is in the middle of the touristic area of budapest, very nice clean and friendly and gives you a fair value for your money.
It is very comfotable for tourists that does not look for fancy hotel but want a nice base for wandering in the city and suroundings.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
The Danuba curve is a wonderful place to visit and is close to Budapest
