Very well located this hotel offer a good standard and all needed facilities

Perfect central location, great team

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Craig Business - 17/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

at such a difficult period and added to which I was alone in a very quiet hotel, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. the hotel itself was as I would expect, stylish, clean and although I wasn't able to use (for obvious reasons) has great facilities. the location is perfect for exploring Budapest and the terrace was a perfect place to enjoy a drink with a fantastic view of the chain bridge and the Danube. the best part of my stay were the team, i had less interaction with the reception/housekeeping team but they were efficient, polite and delivered a great service. more than anything, the restaurant and bar team were exceptional. travelling on ones own can be a lonely experience, but i never felt alone during my stay (2 weeks on my own awaiting colleagues to join me), they identified quickly i was alone and made so much effort to welcome and look after me. given the situation they find themselves in, i can only imagine the personal challenges they are facing with the downturn in tourism and guests, on certain days there were no more than 2 guests occupying the bar/restaurant, but any frustration/boredom was never evident and service continued with a smile. i'm already missing Budapest, but if there is a way of showing my satisfaction with my stay, i'm already planning to return when things get back to normal and will be choosing the sofitel for my accommodation.

Dear Craig, Thank you so much for your kind words and uplifting feedback. I was more than happy to read that in the light of the circumstances you had a perfect stay with us and that the attentive service and friendliness of our Team could contribute to make your stay more convenient and enjoyable. It was my pleasure to share with the whole Sofitel Budapest Ambassadors Team your kind words. Your feedback is a great encouragement for our Team in this unprecedented times. We sincerely hope that we can welcome you back again very soon in our Hotel. Sincerely yours, Erika Kollarova Guest Experience Specialist

J Business - 02/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay was good as the location and service of the hotel was very good. It was important to notice that safety aspects were considered, as the visit took place during the Covid19 times. However, I felt that there is a need for a refurbishment, as the general atmosphere was fairly dated.

worth visiting during strange times

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

GeertV392 19/08/2020 TripAdvisor review

The stay during the covid-19 time was strange , hotel less occupied but the staff took very good care of us. As fewer guest were at the hotel the staff had more time. I would suggest to visit the city and the hotel now. We will never have a nice summer with that amount of people in the city. If you can you should take a room with executive services. The normal lounge was closed but the alternative offered in the Paris/Budapest restaurant as very, very good. A pity that the GM didn't take time to greet the few guests in the hotel. We had nicer experiences with the previous general manager...

Dear Geert, Thank you very much for your uplifting review! It is with great pleasure to know that you had such a nice time in Budapest!

Anonymous Couples - 17/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear sir or madam, As regular guest at Sofitel Budapest we’ve always received quality customer service. However, we only ate once at the lounge & bar area because the burgers were dry and French fries old and cold. On Saturday around 8 p.m. Aug. 8, 2020, after having some drinks with my wife in the lounge & bar area, the the bartender tried to short-change us 10,000 Ft by giving us 1,000 Ft. The bartender should really learn how to count Hungarian Ft. He gave us the correct amount back (10,000 Ft) and said he was sorry. On check-out, Aug. 9, the receptionist wanted us to pay for our prepaid hotel accommodation. After keeping us and our taxi waiting for 10-15 minutes she resolved the matter and we didn’t have to pay twice for our accommodation. In spite of all this, we had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Budapest and look forward to staying here in the future. Best Regards

Outdated hotel

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Gerry Business - 06/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

A once regal hotel has fallen on hard times. Friendly staff and big rooms, but needs refurbishment. No instant hot water (had to let the shower and tap run for circa 5 mins to get hot water, such a waste). No charging points in the room or clock/radio. Mattress top is smaller than the bed.

David Friends - 05/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It wasn't my first stay in the Sofitel Chainbridge and certainly will not be my last. Even though the Covid19 crisis is still very real, they managed to make the stay very enjoyable. As a platinum member, their lounge is usually one of the reason to chose the Sofitel. However, this was closed due to the crisis. The solution they worked out with the restaurant (Paris Budapest) was a very pleasant alternative. I am already looking to book my next trip to Budapest and will certainly chose the Sofitel again.

Dear David, Thank you very much for your uplifting feedback and also for your loyalty to our Hotel. It is with great pleasure to read that you had again an enjoyable stay with us! Your feedback is especially valuable for us and it is a true encouragement for our future work. I happily shared your nice words with the whole Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge Team. Thank you very much for recommending us and we are looking very much forward to welcome you back again soon in our hotel! Yours sincerely, Erika Kollarova Guest Experience Specialist

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

chri751e Couples - 29/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

The room has some very old features, like built-in radio in the bathroom that did not work so well, bathroom needed renovation, both painting and door-frame that was worn. The card-light-swich did not work 100% and seemed very old. The spa needs an upgrade and genrally appeared very 80's /90's in style. Breakfast was excellent. Location is second to none. The bar and restaurant was at best medium. The service was clearly un-educated waiters, the christmas dinner, highly priced, was a disaster, both regarding the un-significant dishes, but especially due to poorly organized service. In the course of two hours we were serviced by eight (8!) different watiers, had to ask for a basic presentation of the courses and were served by amateurs - kind and sweet "student-types" that tried their best, but in a 5 star hotel serving a high-prices christmas dinner, it simply was below any minimum expectations. Not to be recommended to anyone. The bar/rest in general needs to to be serviced and managed professionally. The standard does not correspond to 5 stars.....

Good Hotel. Friendly staff

poonam74 Friends getaway - 26/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

The hotel room was perfect. Staff was friendly and housekeeping team especially helpful. Hotel is very well located near the chain bridge and St Basilica Church. Buffet breakfast which was part of our package was very good but there was always a long wait at the egg counter. Hotel could improve the breakfast experience by having an additional live kitchen.

comfortable, great location, great breakfast

This was a business trip so not too much time was spent in the hotel. It is above average in terms of quality of the beds and the service. Irons in the room very helpful for saving time. The breakfast was also excellent except for queues for the omelettes.
