Hotel Mediterran

The hotel boasts clean, modern rooms and a convenient location near transportation. Guests appreciate the comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and quiet environment.

I booked this hotel as part of a package deal. The options on offer were limited, and this one seemed the "best" of the bunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout out stay, but I wouldn't stay here again for various reasons. The main one being the location. The hotel faces a very busy and noisy flyover, which isn't apparent when you book it. You need to take buses to get anywhere, or walk for up to an hour to get to either the Buda castle area, or the Pest side. However, there are buses you can get from around the corner, which take 10-15 mins to get to the heart of the city. My room was a decent enough size, and the bathroom had a nice, high-pressured shower. The decor is very dated and it's comical to think that Mediterran bills itself as a four-star hotel. No complaints about tidiness, but noise was an issue. Our room was located towards the back of the hotel, so we avoided the motorway noise. However, directly outside out window was a massive external air conditioning unit which constantly made insane amounts of noise. On top of this, our room had an adjoining door to the room next door. This was locked but we could still hear everything happening in our neighbour's room. The door itself was thin and the guy kept leaning against/near it and having very loud phone conversations several nights in a row. These phone calls lasted for up to two hours, so we didn't end up properly getting to sleep until after midnight. There are no restaurants nearby, except a bar/restaurant around the corner, which the hotel staff recommended. However, we gave this a skip as the Google reviews were awful, and we'd much rather dine in the city centre. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here, even if you get a good rate as you'll end up paying for several bus fares to get anywhere, or walking up loads of hills/stairs for ages.
