We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Budapest! The receptionist, Vivi, was absolutely amazing, always greeting us with a warm smile and making us feel truly welcome. The breakfast was excellent, and the entire hotel was spotless. The location is perfect, right in the city center and within easy reach of everything. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Budapest. We felt so comfortable and well taken care of, and we will definitely be coming back on our next visit! Thank you, Vivi, & Rhakash for making our stay extra special! ❤️

The Sophia Palace is a lovely hotel just across the street from the Great Market Hall. We stayed in a deluxe double room. Spacious room, clean, modern and all the usual facilities you would expect ie safe, coffee and fridge. Gorgeous bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The hotel staff were all really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was downstairs below street level. A good selection of foods and drinks. It was quite a small area. There is a courtyard area where you can sit outside upstairs. The only downside is that there is no traditional bar, only a small pop up one at reception, and no sitting area indoors when you come back from a long day.

we stayed 3 nights 4 aduls (a familly) in 0ne room. we liked the location near the big market in vaci uca street, the well decorated and clean room, the praivecy in the hotel, the helpfull and kindly service from the staff, we took only one breakfast which nice and tasty. what didnt fits us was the fact that there was no separation at all between the people , the fact that the door of the bath and toilet room was transparent the metresses were too soft it was'nt comfourtable. also the television was not posibble to watch for the 2 persons that sleep on the sopha. I truelly recommend this sweet boutique hotel a especially for couples. the location is great and we loved the modern decorete and the helpfull and nice staff.

The hotel was really lovely and the staff were fantastic! Location was really good, everything easy to get to. The only thing that I didn’t like was that check in at 3pm is late when you have a very early flight and check out was early at 11 am when we didn’t fly until 10 pm. There was a bathroom to freshen up but a place to shower would have been really appreciated as it was an incredibly hot day with nowhere to shower before heading to the airport but this is genuinely the only thing I would have changed. We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you to all the staff that went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
