Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel 4 stars

Good location, nice staff, top breakfast

The Mercure Budapest Korona was a nice hotel on a busy street corner not too far from the Danube River. We took our luggage up to our nice room on the 7th floor and then I parked the car in the parking garage next door. We walked around the neighborhood looking for a good restaurant but we only found a lot of small carryout places and a small Irish Pub. The hotel had a restaurant called Winestone on the ground floor and it was nicer than anything we saw nearby so we ended up having dinner there both nights that we were in Budapest.

It was our second stay. It was last chance to use our 2020 covid credit and we are glad we did. Unlike other hotels, they applied credit like for like and not according to current rates. We only had to pay extra for my daugher bed. In privilege room we had seperate living room, water and bathrobes but no slippers. We had to fill the form for housekeeper to open the window for us as I cannot sleep without fresh air. Water in the bath was never turning hot enough which was ok for shower but not for taking an evening bath. Aircon in the bedroom did not work, we were cooling from the loving room one! Bed was quite comfortable. The best bit of this type of room was a form of executive lounge - you turn up to the bar and they serve you drinks and canapes to the table. We really enjoyed it! The server Thomas and his twin brother were so professional and welcoming. They are real credit to this place and speak good English. Breakfast was not busy with modern options. Location is within walking distance to all main attractions. Bus 100E from the airport stops in front of the hotel - Kalvin Ter. We will be happy to return!

Loved this hotel from start to finish. Perfect location as the bus from the airport stops directly opposite it on the way into Budapest,,,,just one stop before it teminates at Deak Ferenc ter. The hotel lobby is beautiful and the receptionist was very helpful n cheerful to us on arrival. We had a large room at the front with a lovely bay window overlooking the busy street,,, but were not bothered by noise,,,its a quiet area at night. Large bottle of water is free on arrival...others you have to pay for , also its handy having tea,coffee n kettle in the room and small fridge,,,bedroom and bathroom were very clean. Immediately behind the hotel you can find a pretty street with lots of bars and restaurants to suit every taste.

Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel was the dream hotel to choose for our week holiday. I was planning to propose to my partner while in Budapest for this break. I contacted the hotel and was planning the engagement for the last 5 months, back and forth via email with an amazing member of the team, Alexandra Turai. Alexandra went above and beyond for us. She organised everything I dreamt of having for a proposal: flowers in the room on arrival with a message I had provided before hand; the hotel room decorated with balloons for the proposal night and champagne on ice. Alexandra suggested different restaurants to attend for our week holiday, and each was the most perfect experience. Without Alexandra's help, I would be lost, and I am sure the week would not have gone as smoothly if it was not for Alexandra. I am lucky to say my partner Amber said YES and we left Budapest engaged! Amber described it as her dream engagement. Due to Alexandra's support, we are planning to come back to Mercure Korona Hotel in the near future, potentially to have our wedding. Thank you so much Alexandra and the whole team at Mercure Korona. You made a dream come true!
