Great hotel in convenient central city location”

budapest panorama central is on the 3rd floor of a historic looking building located close to the main transport center. the hotel is situated only a few minutes of walking from the astoria metro station on the metro red line. the budapest panorama central has only 12 rooms and we had confirmation for two nights during 26-28 april but we were informed by agoda that we had to move to an alternative apartment because it was fully booked. we had to re-book the budapest panorama central on 1 may and we were pleased with the hotel. this is a great value for the price we paid although the entrance is a bit old and not very nice but once you arrive the hotel which has been completely renovated in good design. the room and bed are clean, well serviced and our bathroom has a nice jacuzzi. the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very nice place for the alternative accommodation”

We had the confirmation to stay at the Budapest Panorama Central located close to the city center during 26-28 April but Agoda told us the last minute to move to an alternative accommodation at the Quality Point Apartments which is only few minutes from the Opera and Andrassy Avenue and about 100 metres from the metro station Octogon. The apartments has a flat-screen TV with cable channels. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dining area. The facilities also include an iron, a washing machine but we do not have a hair dryer in our room. Andrassy Avenue with its beautiful buildings and exclusive shops is part of the World Heritage and is located next to Quality Point Apartments. The Hungarian State Opera House is 150 metres from the property. Our room was new, clean, and very comfortable and the lady staff was very friendly and helpful.

Hidden gem”

if you are willing to walk the downtown, budapest panorama central is perfectly located for you - just in the heart of pest. i can confirm what others have said already: the street entrance looks ... wild ;-) but the room was clean, big and quiet more than expected. the staff is friendly and helpfull. note: there is no parking lot, but simply ask by email, they provide usefull map, covering several parkings in walking distance.

Fantastic hotel in an excellent location”

Had a fantastic stay at the Budapest Panorama Central hotel - it's not a flash fancy international hotel but it was perfect for our needs, the room was quite large, the bathroom was extremely modern, wi-fi was fast and the staff were incredibly friendly!! Will certainly be staying here again when I return to Budapest!

Well located ,clean and safe hotel”

Budapest panorama hotel is located just in the heart of the city, Everything is very close, and there are some steps away many cafe, restaurant and shops Also museums ,New York cafe, and many other high lights of the city The room is comfortable,clean and the staff very friendly I ll be back for sure

Very central and good value for money. ”

The location was perfect, very central and everything you need is right at your door step. We came from Prague Florenc bus station and took the Flexi bus to Kelenfold Budapest station -which was a 7 hour trip .THEN took the 49 tram ( we bought the tickets including our 100E bus to the airport and the 49 tram immediately to avoid the hassle later , the 48 tram platform is in an awkward position which is to the left of the metro station passing by the taxi rank to the back.) the 49 tram will bring you straight to Astoria metro station and the hotel reception building was 1 minute walk to the right across the street. Hotel is in a very busy street and there’s noise from the traffic but it did not really bother me. Checking in and out was very easy. NO Need to go back to the reception to check out which is very handy especially with our early flight, you just have to pay your city tax 2.50 euro for 2 nights for 2 people as you check in. Receptionist was very nice and spoke very good English who gave us clear Instructions on how to access the hotel room. Lift in the 2 buildings were of big help. We were in the building right across the street from the reception building and no hassle finding it. . Area is very safe a lot of people were walking late at night on their own. HOHO right outside the building of the property - we used the red bus which was excellent service on that day and I even got a discount since I booked the tickets in one of the agents there standing on the streets - be sure to ask for a discount if you like, and I thought the HOHO was very necessary since the tourist areas were far from each other and they are very beautiful to see. Online booking is better but we need to have it printed so I just went to the agents on the road which were very friendly! There’s lot of restaurants and bars around and very inexpensive. We only use our debit cards to purchase anything and only had exchanged euro to HForint in the Great Hall market thinking that they won

A very clean and tidy place”

We had a very convenient stay at Budapest Panorama Hotel. The hotel is just near to the Erzsebet hid (about 5 minutes walk). The room was comfortable with all you need for your stay. The interior design was modern and in one design. The receptionist is very helpful and nice. They can also arrange transfer to the airport.

great position and warm service!”

The hotel is near the Astoria M station and the staff are very helpful! Sepcial thanks to the welcome wine! If we come to Budapest next time, we'll definitely choose Panorama Central!

Comfortable rooms and good location”

I had read previous reviews of the hotel describing the entrance to be difficult to find and uninviting, so I was prepared for it. Turns out that it wasn't that bad and in fact, it was kind of characteristic of Budapest. I liked it! And just like what the other reviews had said, the rooms are comfortable and spacious and really great. Besides the hotel being near the metro station, it is also near supermarkets and restaurants are just 5 mins walk away.

Excellent hotel in an affordable price”

Our stay (2 couples, one night, 2 bedrooms) was excellent - The rooms are huge, with high ceilings and a Jacuzzi. There was fast internet connection. The location of the hotel is perfect- right in the city centre, near all the underground and TRAM stations, and near tons of the attractions Budapest has to offer. The friendly staff in the hotel lobby had great English and helped us a lot in finding hang out places for the night and day. The breakfast cost additional 3 euros and was served in the cute coffee house at the ground floor of the building. There is an elevator to the hotel.

位置優越”

Perfect location, only two minutes walk to Astoria, the main sightseeing spots line on M2. And Mini Bud in the airport shuttle counter can get direct ride to the hotel with the price of 9 Euros each person. You can also book the airport shuttle online yourself because the hotel address is listed in the pick up options, so it's very convenient for us. Rooms are cozy and comfortable, but the front door is old and small, so don't be freaked out by the building look. There is a small elevator inside, easy to carry your luggages on. So much thanks to the receptionists, they help us receive my bicycle package, send my postcards and transfer my Budapest city cards to me. Very good service and treat in Budapest. I love the people and food in Budapest so much. They all look like models but treat you like friends.

More an up market hostel than hotel, but good.”

As mentioned, the Panorama Central is more a very up market hostel than hotel. That said, however, it was more than adequate for this senior solo traveller.Thanks to previous reviews, I knew to look for a 'strange'( more unorthodox) entry, that might nhave put me off otherwise. It is very close to Deak Square where many tours commence. There are many Hop on Hop Off lines and worth trying to negotiate the price. I paid 5000 florints for the Green bus at the hotel, instead of 6000, and found it good value for 2 days use plus two river trips . I just went once and enjoyed it very much. Don't bother with your jacuzzi. Like many other places, I suppose, it looks great but there is never enough hot water, nor does it come fast enough to satisfy the urge to bathe. Instead enjoy the hand held shower in a good space.. In short, don't let outside appearances scare you off. Nearby Spar grocery has great sandwiches.

Diamond in the rough”

Great location in downtown Budapest, close to streetcar and metro connections. Walking distance to most sights on Pest side and easy access to Buda sites as well. The hotel is Spartan, with the basics covered - small clean rooms, beds and mattrasses are OK, but they need to invest in new sheets and pillows. Bath worked fine. The hotel owner (an American) has bought the entire floor of an older building and has done a good job of refurbishing each room. The rest of the building still needs a lot of maintenance, once the Hungarian economy picks up again.

Amazing location”

Lovely small family hotel. We had room with whirlpool and it was perfect after long days walking in the city. Room was ok size with microwave and fridge. It is a bit hard to find the hotel because there are just small signs above the front door so keep your eyes open! Rooms are located to the 3th floor and there are lots and lots of stairs. They have elevator but it is old and looks like it is going to break at any time (we still used it but just a small warning if you are scared of old elevators). There is coffee shop downstairs and grocery store few hundred meters from the hotel. The hotel is 500m from the airport shuttle buss stop so it is perfect. Also very near to the central. Great place to stay!

hidden gem”

I really enjoyed the stay, and if I go to Budapest again, I will choose to stay Budapest Panorama Central again.

Excellent Location Friendly Staff”

Located in the Heart of Budapest, when you enter the Old Building and reach the Hotel on the 3rd Floor,you have no idea of the Comfortable Modern room that awaits you. Some of the rooms have Jacuzzi in the Bathrooms. You can walk to a number of sites from the Hotel,and you right next to a Metro stop when you come out the Front Door.The hotel is Quiet in the Evenings and the Staff is Friendly and helpful.

Nice location and good service!!”

Excellent location, clean rooms”

nice hotel really centrally located in budapest. will definitely stay again when we are in budapest. really clean and nice rooms. great little boutique shops in the courtyard. the girl on reception is really lovely and made our stay very pleasant. the man who works overnight could do with some training in manners. only real complaint is about the awful pillows - it's time to replace the lumpy wafers!

Exceptional”

Good location. If you arrive Budapest by airplane, this hotel is excellent. Take 100E bus to Astoria, then 2 minutes is enough. Nice staff.
