Hilton-Castle District Travel Reviews

Apr 21, 2007
I stayed at the Hilton in the Castle District of Budapest for 6 nights. Fortunately, I had a discounted rate because I was attending a conference at the hotel.

I like the hotel's location. It's next to the Fisherman's Bastion, which has an incredible view of Budapest. The hotel is close to restaurants and the post office. Public transportation is walking distance. The staff were friendly and the room was cleaned. They even turned down our beds in the evening.

Two unpleasant things though were the cost of using the internet and tipping. In regards to the internet, I had to pay 18,750.00 Forint (about US$100) to use the wireless connection for 7 days. It costs 7,500.00 Forint (about US$40) for 24 hours. The other thing is tipping for the hotel stay. I checked out early Sunday morning and noticed that there is a "tip" line for the hotel bill. I've never seen a tip line for hotel bills before and I don't recall seeing that in any guidebooks. I wasn't sure what to do. My boss was standing nearby and I asked her. She said she's never seen that either and she didn't leave a tip. So, I didn't leave one either. I tipped the porters though.

Does anyone know about tipping the hotel in Hungary? I've looked it up online when I got home, but I can't find an answer.

ems07 says: The Hostel has a lot of character. It is converted from two old Hungarian apartments. Everything is clean and tidy and the rooms are spacious. With just four double bedrooms and two bathrooms the place does not get busy. In fact we barely saw anyone in the Hostel for the whole 4 days. The bedrooms ...
