Hotel Griff

No way a 3 stars hotel! The bath smelled like public toilet and the furniture, carpet, tv etc were ancient trash! In reality looks even worse...! Also the elevator is not working- great news for those who will get a room at 3rd floor& good luck with the bags!

Clean but no luxury. Old furniture, nothing fancy. Good prices though. OK food in the restaurant, but we traveled in a group which might have made it better. Not light or sound tight rooms. Good pillows, could have been a better bed.

This place is hot! If you find yourself in 1979. Since then, it's been all downhill. Maybe a touch of paint here and there when the mould starts to show, and a new TV in your room in 1994. Walking around the empty hall in the hotel makes you feel as an extra in 'The Shining' When does Jack Nicholson appear with a grim smile on his face and an axe? Anyways, a 24 hour reception makes it an ease when your cheap Ryanair flight is late. Our room felt and smelled like an unwashed armpit, and the springs in the madress might have been a part of the Hungarian uprising in 1956. Staff in the breakfast restaurant outnumbered us, even through the buffet table stayed dangerously empty all of the time. I recommend this hotel for everyone who wants a true authential experience of the bad, old days.

The hotel was an excruciating experience. They turn off everything starting from the light to the air conditioning claiming they save power but they actually save money on your expense. The room is awful: the TV is extremely small about 12' and doesn't feature any global channels or anything in English (we had to manually scan the channels). The kettle isn't working, the air conditioning isn't working, the closets are small and the toilet is outright wierd. They also forgot to clean our room once. The food isn't diverse throughout the days and runs out quickly leaving those late-wakers with nothing to eat. The WiFi only works in the lobby and even there the signal is weak. The only good thing I can mention is the staff that kept smiling throughout our stay. Other than that the building feels like it's from WW 2.

Not recommended as a base for Budapest. Rooms were a relic of a more deprived age Lovely park nearby
