Great hotel, the only problem we had was the door was tricky to open and close, maybe reception could offer advice when guests check in. And the shower in the room kept falling down which did get a bit annoying.

Changed hotel without our consent

We didn’t book for fun. We booked Star city hotel and they sent an email at 11am saying we can’t accommodate you and given us this without our consent . We didn’t expect this kind of arrangement

The hotel was clean, shower worked well - good pressure and warm water, matracess were comfortable. There's nothing more to ask from a hotel. Breakfast was included, and it was very tasty, local sweet buns available, hot food was available as well. On arrival we could chose from a single or double bed room. And on departure we were offered help with luggages (which we didn't need). These nice touches made it a pleasurable experience to stay in the Star City Hotel. If I could find any issues, it would be only shower draining slowly and soap ( shower gel) dispenser in shower was empty.

Excellent placed hotel, ideally located within walking distance of City Park- which is absolutely stunning. Also a bus stop directly across road from hotel and Keleti rail station within ten minutes, which serves as a perfect transport hub for exploring Budapest and beyond. Hotel staff are incredible! They couldn’t be more helpful and are always willing to answer any questions you might have. Lovely open space on arrival where you can relax and enjoy a coffee. Room was warm and cosy and serves its purpose. Breakfast was outstanding! Pastries, cereal and fresh fruit- also selection of cheese and hams. Great coffee.

Worried on the way to the room, but acceptable

The room was clean and fine for an overnight stay for my family. Walking to our room, we saw that the carpets in the hallway were filthy and were concerned that the room would be the same. The room was acceptable.

The room is corresponding to the photos. It is standard and quite clean and spacious. The breakfast was really poor, it was obvious they tried to make economy on a single things there.

The Star Hotel had a certain 'twinkle'

I and a friend had an enjoyable 5-night stay. We found all staff (front of house, catering and cleaning) to be friendly and attentive. When i had a little issue with my room, reception had no hesitation in moving me once availability allowed. Was pleased to have both a working safe and fridge in the room along with other comforts you would expect from a good, 3-star hotel. All areas of the hotel were clean and tidy and the breakfast, although possibly a little repetitive, was both abundant and tasty.

Nice, i would comeback

I enjoyed the time spent in this structure. Comfortable beds and reasonable size of the single room, which was well cleaned every day. Not a noisy space. Shower had soap doser and guests are given a proper amount of towels. Before my permanence, I read negative comments about breakfast but I disagree, it was rich and varied, from sweet to savoury. Definitely appropriate for the 3 stars of the hotel. Staff was nice and helpful without delay when I needed it. With the help of public transport, not far from the very center of the city. Due to the area where it is located, plus the not wide amount of auxiliary services, it is appropriate for a 3 stars appointment, with an uncommon and definitely positive quality-price ratio for the usual level of these hotels.
