The other reviews understates how hard it is to find this hotel. My GPS got me to 3B and 3C, which is 200 meters from 3A on the other side of the road - and when you find 3A you still have to go through a maze with small gold signs as your lead until you finally reach the hotel.... more

I don't have much to add to the previous reviews--all of the praise by TripAdvisor members was right on the money. Speaking of money, what a bargain! It's located by the beautiful, yet sad, Dohany Street Synagogue and near to the Metro and the national museum. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when I next visit this fantastic city. more

My sister and I stayed for three nights at Karoly Central in Budapest. As other reviewers have said, it's quite hard to find, and the outside is a bit offputting, but inside it's fantastic. The staff, especially Dorka and the housemaid, were fantastic. They couldn't do enough to help us. The room was spotless with a great bathroom and shower,... more

I can't even begin to tell you how nice the staff is. This place is a very quaint place right in the heart of the city center. It is run by young and energetic women who provide free room service, clean your room, and welcome you with a smile everytime you come and go. I felt like royalty here and... more

We loved the Budapest Karoly Central. The hotel itself was adorable and impeccably clean, with ample size rooms and a complimentary bottle of wine to greet us. The staff was so friendly and so accommodating. The location also was even better than we imagined, located centrally in Pest a half-block from the Dohany Synagogue. We were able to walk everywhere... more

I booked this hotel because of its high tripadvisor ratings and overall was not disappointed. The hotel has a character - it is located in one of those huge Budapest block of flats right across the street from the Dohany synagogue (very central). The room was nicely furnished and clean, bathroom 4* hotel standard and we received a complimentary bottle... more

Just got back from this hotel after a 4 night stay. If not for the shuttle driver (from the airport) we would certainly not have found it. The directions could be a little more detailed. The entrance is found between some shops. On a wall to your right is displayed numerous plaques for shops and offices, the Karoly is almost... more

My wife and i spent 5 nights at the Karoly Central in Budapest in March 2009, our first trip to Hungary. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the sightseeing and the food!! The Karoly Central is a lovely, good value hotel, in a great location, being so near to the metro (2 minute walk), and within easy walking distance of... more

The welcoming Hungarian wine was a lovely and warm touch to begin our visit. We traveled with our two adult children who agreed the hotel was an excellent choice. The rooms were large with high ceilings. Breakfast in the rooms was an added delight. Very close to the Metro which saves time, but most often we walked to what we... more
