The Emerald Hotel enjoys a superb location in the city center, opposite the City Hall, making it ideal for exploring attractions like Váci Utca and cultural sights. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and modern style, with spacious rooms and great amenities such as walk-in showers and in-room coffee machines.

Fantastic stay! Highly recommended!

I loved the power showers! They had a choice of sprays. The bathrooms were also very clean, I enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly and polite, I found them helpful. The location is great for shopping, which I liked. The tourist sights are walkable from the hotel!
My room was small. I booked a superior room. Walking around the bed was tight! I would not want to imagine a standard room!

breakfast choicegreat locationcoffee machinesmall roomhigh parking priceexpensive parking
the breakfast was plentiful with a lot of choice. I was kinda surprised. The location is great. This place is quiet despite being close to busy tourist spots. A coffee machine and soda and water dispenser are in the lobby.
the room was small. It could ruin the stay. I have not slept in a smaller room. it does not have parking, and the parking that the reception proposed is the most expensive i have paid in any european capital where i traveled.

small roomlimited bar hours
the room was quite small. i booked a superior double room, but it felt cramped. it was hard for two people to move around comfortably. also, i noticed the bar seemed to only be open for limited hours each evening, so i couldn't really use it when i wanted to.
