Jozsef Katona Theatre Tours and Activities

We had a great time in Budapest and Hotel Rum is a great base in the city. In the day everything is super walkable or easy to see via public transport. At night the hotel feels tucked away from the bars and clubs. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a city break hotel. The room was spotless and the staff was helpful and there are some really nice coffee shops within about 200 metres too which is always a plus!

Staying at the Áurea Ana Palace Hotel feels like stepping into another era — a time of imperial grandeur, timeless elegance, and exquisite European craftsmanship. More than just a five-star hotel, it is a beautiful reminder of Budapest’s Austro-Hungarian heritage, where historic architecture and refined interiors blend effortlessly with modern comfort. Just a short distance from the majestic Danube, the hotel offers more than a luxurious stay — it offers a connection to the history, culture, and romance of this extraordinary city.

We were happy with the location and the facilities. Our greatest concern was reception as the individual who was responsible was not at all concerned or helpful. In fact she was often not available and did not answer phone calls. We were in need of laundry facilities and she informed us that this was available in the grand section but failed to tell us that this was in the one-bedroom units. It would seem that individuals who did not access to e-mail would have a major challenge at check-in, and we saw individuals waiting while no one was at reception. It seems reception may be needed so heads up to individuals wanting to rent here.
