Kimpton Bem Budapest

"Spent only one night with my wife in one of the Studio Suite, which was gorgeous. Everyone we met during our short stay was lovely and really helpful. We need to return for a longer stay to thoroughly enjoy their hospitality."

"We had a truly wonderful experience at Kimpton BEM Budapest. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. Marcel Wanders is all around you, absolutely amazing. The breakfast was offering a great variety of high-quality options. It was the perfect start to the day. The staff were extremely kind, professional, and responsive, always ready to help with a smile and genuine care. Their warm attitude made our stay even more special. The rooms were very clean, and comfortable, and the overall feeling of the hotel is both luxurious and relaxed. We would absolutely recommend Kimpton BEM Budapest and would gladly stay here again."

"This was my first trip to Budapest. I picked up and Kimpton BEM Budapest based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and being a IHG member, helped earning many points. We stayed there for 5 nights. We arrived at the hotel with a taxi from the airport on a rainy day. As we went in, we were greeted by reception and the concierge. They offered us a drink. I took the mauled wine, which was excellent. We were shown to our rooms (we took two rooms). The room is modern. It was very clean, as was the bathroom. It was large and there was plenty of room for the luggage. The bed was comfortable. There was a safe in the closet. There was tea and coffee in the room. Besides a coffee maker, it also has an electric kettle (unlike the American hotels) which make the preparation of tea easy. The view from the window was of the Danube. The room has an air condition, which keeps it at a fixed temperature. The hotel is on the Buda side. The area is quiet at night. Although the room was not sound proofed as I read in this web site, it was quiet and the cars driving on the road along the Danube were not heard. There aren't many cars on the street in front of the hotel at night. The location is not very close to the old city or to attractions, but it is not very far from them. Walking to the parliament building took us around half an hour, which is not too bad. Coming down from the Fisher's Bastions to the hotel was also around a 30 minute walk. There are tram stations about a 5 minute walk from the hotel near the bridge. Alternatively, you can get to a large metro station in around 10 minutes, and it takes around 5- 10 minutes more to get to the center of Pest. Therefore, I see the location as an advantage (it is quiet and it doesn't take long to get to places of interest). We ate some mornings in the hotel's restaurant. It is not cheap. We didn't take the buffet (it was 35 Euros, which is expensive), but ordered a la carte. A couple of mornings we went to nearby restaurants where the food was good and cheaper. One of them is just across the street. There were a couple of things which were a bit annoying, but not enough to change my good opinion and recommendation of the hotel: 1. When getting breakfast, there was a charge for the drinks (coffee/tea/orange juice), but it wasn't mentioned in the menu. It was a surprise seeing it in the receipt, which I only looked at on the last morning there. 2. The lights switches system in the room was a bit complex. It took a little time to understand it. There were two lamps besides the bed, which I didn't find a way to lit (there was also a small pointed lamp besides the bed that worked perfectly). As I mentioned, I highly recommend this hotel to visitors in Budapest."
