Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently mention the spacious rooms at Star Hotel, often highlighting the comfortable beds and clean bathrooms, with some even noting the convenience of having two mini-fridges. The hotel's proximity to Keleti station is a definite plus for many, as is the easy access to metro and bus lines for exploring Budapest. While the exterior might initially give the impression of an apartment building, guests find the interior well-lit and maintained; however, a few guests have found the hallways to be somewhat nicer than the rooms themselves. The breakfast is generally well-received, praised for its variety and abundance.

A Romantic City Stay

convenient locationhelpful staffexcellent breakfastlimited soundproofing
I found the location convenient. The proximity to the rail station provided easy access to the city. The staff were always helpful, answering questions with a smile. The hotel served an excellent breakfast with pastries, fresh fruit, cheeses and meats. The coffee was great to start the day.
The soundproofing was not ideal. Noise from other rooms was sometimes noticeable. This made it difficult to relax completely at times.
Location
9/10
The hotel is near the rail station, allowing convenient access to public transport. The location is central, offering easy exploration of the city with many attractions within reach. A bus stop is directly across the street from the hotel entrance.

old placedried out fruit
The hallways seemed nicer than the room itself. I could tell the place was old. The worst part was the bathroom. To offer that shower for the price seemed unacceptable (and I've seen a few!). Breakfast was included, but it was not good. The selection was too small. The fruit was dried out before 9:30 in the morning, really saying something.
