The friendly Charles hotel is just under 1 mile from the center of the city, yet with bus stops right before the door, and has spacious rooms with a kitchenette and a great restaurant. Start your day at the rich breakfast buffet before you set out to explore the impressive Hungarian capital or for successfully doing business. In the renowned Janos hotel restaurant, you can experience tasty traditional Hungarian cuisine. The helpful staff is always there to provide you with any information you may need to spend a rewarding stay in Budapest. Many major sights can be reached within a few minutes. The public bus takes guests right down to the famous Vaci street in the heart of Budapest (only 2 stops). The hotel is on the Buda side, only a short walk from Gellert Hill and not far from Castle Hill. The Keleti Train Station is to be found 2.5 miles from the hotel, reachable easily via a bus.

    Everything was wonderful, and the front desk was able to help me with everything I needed. I always stay here when I travel to Budapest. Couldn't be happier with the hotel and with the wonderful staff. Breakfast was also fantastic.

    The hotel was basically as we expected. The room was a bit dated, but was a good size and worked well for our purposes. The hotel is right next to a bus stop, making it very convenient to get wherever you need to go.

Our bellboy and the luggage room
Our hotel is open since 1990. In 1998 we opened our restaurant as well which is popular amongst our guest and local people.
Our collegues are very guest-centric and always answer all your questions willingly.
Our hotel is located 10 minutes from the city center. Quite a few bus lines has a stop right in front of the hotel.
