Hotel Regnum Residence

After rejecting my travel partner's suggestion of Hampton by Hilton for being overpriced and unappealing in the photos, I was given the task of booking the hotel. I eventually chose Regnum Residency on Booking.com based on: 1. Price 2. Breakfast included 3. Proximity to the city center 4. Standard double rooms (x2) 5. Reviews 6. Pictures Compared to other hotels in the same price range, Regnum stood out with its bright, spacious rooms and dining areas, plus bathrooms rivaling those in more expensive hotels. Though this wasn’t a luxury getaway, we wanted comfort—and Regnum delivered. Despite initial skepticism (wondering if it might be one of those “great in photos, terrible in reality” places), the hotel was perfect. My travel buddy and I were pleasantly surprised. We each got a room suited to us: one spacious and clean on the lower floor, and the other cozy with a serene courtyard view—ideal for reflection with a coffee. Both rooms were well-equipped with complimentary amenities like coffee, water, an iron, a hair dryer, fresh towels, and room service. Breakfast was fresh, hot, and filling, though vegetarian options were limited, and some days it was a bit oily. Still, it kept us going until lunch—or later. The staff were exceptional, polite, helpful, and genuinely welcoming from check-in to check-out. Angela (her name in English) and the team made our stay even better. The location was fantastic, just a 3-minute walk from a stunning view of the Parliament building across the river, with tram and metro stops nearby. For a scenic adventure, I’d recommend the 30-minute riverside stroll to the Szechenyi Chain Bridge and into the city center—a pleasant 45-minute walk in total. Hotel Regnum exceeded our expectations and truly lived up to the photos!

The hotel is good, but a bit pricey for this kind of accommodation. It was a nice option for staying during the Sziget festival due to its convenient location near the train station to the island. The AC worked well on our first floor, and the beds were comfortable

Breakfast was amazing, well cooked and great variety. It also came with the cost of the room. Breakfast staff and front desk help was excellent. Room service help was friendly, helpful and amazing too! Many of my family and their relatives stayed here, so that was great. Excellent location and easy access to public transportation. Great location near the walkway on the Danube across from the Parliament and below the big castle. Amazing night time views

The location of the Hotel is in the old town a bit far to tram or bus but most of the sights are close to the hotel (Buda castle, Fisherman Bastion, Island,...). The breakfast was ok, would expect a bit more from a 4* hotel.

Breakfast was rather brief but the service was excellent. I particularly liked the happy looking hostesses who were excellent with their English and greetings. Room was comfortable for one person. Location is easy for accessing public transport as well as taxi services as I needed.
