Hotel Rumor

The hotel is in a perfect central location. I have a couple of negatives about our booking. Although it’s called a hotel it’s not. It’s a collection of apartments on the 1st floor of a residential building. It is VERY poorly sign posted and should have been made clearer. The hotel is on the 1st floor about a souvenir shop. However access is through large double gates to which we had not been given a code. Even then you walk down a dark tunnel and need another code to get to the 1st floor. When you book this information should have been supplied so guests don’t struggle to find the hotel or gain access. There is no restaurant or bar not even a room mini bar. There are no drawers or wardrobes in a room. As such be prepared to live out of your case on the floor. Large TV although only Netflix. Double bed with a 3/4 duvet that felt like tog 1.5 Additional duvet supplied although that was for a single bed 🤷‍♂️ Coffee machine with capsules, you must ask for tea and milk. Access to the room was via a courtyard balcony which wasn’t was I was expecting. Paid in full 6 months previous yet still asked to pay another £40. Luckily I had my emails from 6 months ago. Great location but room for improvement and more clarity to customers before booking.

Happy to write a glowing review of our time at Hotel Rumor, they helped save our vacation with a last-minute booking in late October 2024. Our hostess Virag was amazing in getting us a nice, quiet comfortable room, answering questions, and giving us great tips on what to see in the city. Beyond her, the whole staff was exceptional, allowing us to store our luggage, helping with amenities, and yes, letting us in when we forgot the door code. Highly recommended. (Note: A bit hard to find, inside a narrow passage, but worth it) Great location.

We had a wonderful five night stay at Hotel Rumor. The location is very central, near to many tourist destinations and restaurants. The hotel rooms are nicely renovated and are a good size. While this is personal preference, we really liked the firm mattress and although we thought the pillows were a little too soft, we slept very well. What really sets this hotel apart from the others is the staff, who are very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our room when we arrived and they quickly got it resolved. We had good interactions with all the staff, but I would especially want to thank Virág as she was amazingly helpful and professional when handling our issue, as well as throughout our stay at the Hotel. Highly recommended!

As always, I hate to rave about a good place, knowing it will make my next visit more difficult. But I have to be honest and say that I can't imagine going to Budapest and not trying to to stay at the Rumor. The rooms are decently sized, the whole place is charming. But above all the staff are just so helpful. We got lots of restaurant recs, transport help etc. and everything was reliable. The "Blind Crow" they recommended was one of our favorite experiences. I also need to say that when packing my Apple Pencil rolled out of my bag. They emailed us immediately, and then located and compared several different ways to ship the Pencil, wrapped it and dispatched it. It arrived about a week after they sent it, and then USPS lost it for another week an a half. Not the Hotel Rumour's fault (or the Hungarian PS either)! The location is also absolutely perfect; central; close enough to Parliament, and right next to several streets with interesting restaurants and above all a metro station.

Highly recommend, chic room great location and helpful staff Located in central the reception are very kind and helpful the room have netflix own account and nice and cold airconditioner id definitely come back and stay at this hotel again when i come to visit next time in winter !
