Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest

8/10 Good
"Great location near Chain Bridge, backs onto pedestrian Fashion St. 15-20min. walk to Parliament Bldg, US Embassy, Opera house, Ruin Bars, excellent restaurants, the metro/trams/ Hop On Hop Off Bus. Excellent service! Fair pricing & no hidden charges. Free Wi-fi with Loyalty program sign-up. Very clean! Smells great! Amenities great: Nespresso cappuccino maker & refill pods, tea bags & stainless steel tea kettle (on request), Diptyque bath amenities, large plush bath towels & bathrobes, slippers, etc. Built-in cabinetry/ closets serve you well! Has a built-in luggage stand & a nice wooden folding luggage stand in room. Good AirCon! Comfy bed except their pillows. Their Concierge staff are very responsive: Dalma, Tamás, András. They gave us many sightseeing & shopping options, & were up-front about 30% hotel surcharge for any opera/tour ticket bookings. They made great restaurant recommendations & booked our reservations (no charge). Thank you! Breakfast Buffet extensive with free á la carte items like Eggs Benedict, Omelettes, Tofu Congee, cappuccinos, waffles + omelette station.Buffet: sausage, bacon, eggssalads, smoked salmon, breads/ pastries, tropical fruit & berries; smoothieCONS: feather pillows were Standard size & too small & thin for the oversize King bed. The “gatekeeper” older lady at breakfast seemed rude. Staff in the breakfast restaurant seem so serious & stressed. No accountability per table. Everyone served you in some way or another. Didn’t know who to tip!"
