IntercityHotel Budapest in Budapest

One of if not the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. Location is in one of rougher areas of Budapest. My partner nearly got mugged sitting outside the hotel having a cigarette. Pictures of the hotel must have been taken years ago as it is in terrible disrepair now. How they can claim to be a 3 star hotel is shocking I wouldn't even give them 1star. Our room was filthy. Stains on the walls carpets and blood and other suspect stains on the bedlinen mattress and pillow cases. Walls are wafer thin we could here the people in the room next door being amorous all night. Bed was rock hard and on the second night felt multiple springs coming through the mattress. My partner got electrocuted by the faulty hairdryer in the room which then started smoking and u could actually see a flame inside the heating coil... incredibley dangerous. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall exposing a very sharp edge. Staff didn't seem to care about any of the issues we raised. The only positive was nice shower with good water pressure. But other than that I'm sure prisoners get better conditions. What makes this all the more shocking the price they are charging per night for a room. We moved to a other hotel a 5 min walk away. For a four Star hotel and room that is night and day better we ended up paying 30 euro night less then we were paying here. Don't do it do yourself there a nicer and cheaper places some very close by. Finally to people who have given positive reviews on this platform and booking.com have you been living in a cave prior to coming to this hotel...

We stayed in room 411 and unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. There was no hot water at all and the hair dryer was in such poor condition that it seemed dangerous to use. We only discovered these problems in the morning before breakfast, so we didn’t report them to reception. Sadly, breakfast was also a disappointment – the sausages and eggs were served cold. From a hotel in this price range and location, we expected at least basic comfort, safety, and a decent breakfast, but we didn’t get that.

AVOID THIS PLACE! This hotels pictures do not show the hotel as how it really is! Stay here at your own precaution! The only good thing about this place is that it’s very close to the train/public transport and that it’s dirt cheap. The hotel is dirty, smells of stale cigarettes (even in a non-smoking room), the walls are thin (you can hear other people from your room), and everything looks and feels old and nasty. If you just want to lay your head down for 1 night on a cot like bed, then it might be okay, but I wouldn’t recommend this place for more than that. The bathrooms had rust, mold and limestone along the piping, as it looks like it hasn’t been maintained or cleaned. The room has stains all around which again doesn’t look like it’s ever been clean. We didn’t have a hairdryer, our AC was barely working, and our fridge also wasn’t working. The breakfast is very okay, and not worth staying here for the included breakfast. You’re better off going to the kfc down the street. We booked for 3 nights because it was cheap, but left after the first night because it was so horrible.
