Advantages: Friendly staff, good location

Disadvantages: Building works can be off putting initially

The Zara Boutique Hotel is located in Downtown Budapest onSo utca. It's a smart hotel although there are some building works going on at that end of the town at the moment so it can look a little run down at first site. We had an initial panic when we could here loud cutters outside our window when we got to our room but all work stopped at a sensible 5/6pm and didn't start up again until around 9/10am.

The Lobby is very airy and inviting and the reception staff were very amiable. Our room was a decent size (room 107) with a nice bathroom and very large walk in shower (no bath). The shower was a welcome relief at the end of a long day slogging round Budapest!

The Hotel is located pretty much at the bottom end of Vaci utca, the main shopping street that cuts through Budapest, and its also 1 road away from the Danube. The location was excellent for our 3 day trip and we couldn't have asked for better. We managed to get a very good rate of 115 euros but the advertised rate in the hotel lobby was 178 euros - not sure I'd have been as happy to pay that much.

There seemed to be a pretty nice bar, although we didn't use this, and the breakfast was good too. However, we were told that the breakfast finished at 10.30am (even though check out was 10am) yet breakfast was still going on at 11.30 and we were allowed to check out without any additional fees at 11.30am - it would have been helpful to know this so that we hadn't rushed unnecessarily. We were also allowed to leave our bags after checkout (our flight was not until 19.00) and take an umbrella from the hotel as it was raining outside.

All in all a pretty good stay but I may have shopped around more if I had been quoted 178 euros a night...

Summary: Great hotel providing the price is right

You have the bones of an excellent review here but I would have liked to know a little more ie, room size (what does decent size mean?), was the bed comfy, did you get a good nights kip, how did you book it, was checking in/out easy etc etc. Let me know if you amend and I will re-rate. Regards John.
