My friend and I were supposed to check in today at the Hotel Galilei and stay for two nights. However, on arrival after a waiting time of over 2 hours, we were informed that there were no rooms left, that the hotel was overbooked and that we would have to find an alternative accommodation. We never received any communication from... More

Can confirm what many others in here write: overall a bad "hotel". The "reception" solution in the restaurant was horrible, the staff down there was rude and very slow and it was a bad start on the vacation to spend almost 1 hour in that hole before we where shown the rooms. The rooms was in general in a bad... More

This is not a hotel. It's a room in a dingy building which is also occupied by residents and businesses. The 'hotel' is a restaurant that opens at 11.00 a.m. Reception is a small desk in the corner of the bar that is never manned. The room is never cleaned or the linen changed. The beds are low and bad... More

They will empty your wallets ... One glass of disgusting wine 2000 forint! And I should say that I couldn't drink my wine because it was awfull (and I was very sick) and then I saw them put the wine back in the bottle for the next lucky customer! Just don't go there!! Don't go!

I'll keep this brief, but I could go on forever about how bad this place was. * This is not a hotel- it's more like a pension. There is no reception, you just get a key and are sent around the side. No one will clean your room etc. * The staff are the most unfriendly and unhelpful I have... More

My wife and me wanted to take a look at Budapest. We decided shortly and ran into this location. The main importance for us was that it was in the center and not too expensive. But next time we will read the reviews more carefully. When we came to the "hotel" (some rooms in a normal house above the same... More

'Hotel' very centrally placed and the room itself was spacious and clean when we arrived. However there were several lamps missing, the shower could only be used by holding the shower head. the tv didn't work, hot water was not always available, and our room was never visited by a cleaner in the 5 nights we were there.

Seriously avoid this restaurant unless you want to be over charged, underserved and left feeling very frustrated !! The homemade soup was straight out of a packet and served with stale bread. Hungarian Goulash was a joke and veg & patatoes were charged as 2 extra portions. No price list given with the drinks so a large beer was nearly... More
