Decor is generic and lacking polish, but there is a modest array of amenities on-site including a fitness center, lobby bar, spa with sauna, and some meeting space. Rooms are a plain, functional affair, with electric kettles, LED reading lights, and fairly standard bathrooms. Wi-Fi is free but can be unreliable.

Scene
Modern concrete and glass hotel
The NH Budapest City hotel has a modest, modern lobby that looks like a cross between a corporate atrium and an apartment building. Leather couches built around columns and a handful of armchairs by a small lobby bar all give off a slightly corporate but low-key vibe. Tourists and business travelers are the most frequent visitors here. The hotel is generic and lacking style, but has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Location
On a fairly quiet street about 20 minutes’ walk north of the center of Pest.
The hotel is fairly well-located for tourism as well as business, though is not immediately in the center of town. The NH Budapest City is situated on a calm street just north of the town center, about a 10-minute walk from Margaret Island and a 10-minute bus ride from St. Stephen’s Basilica and the more touristed area of town via a line that stops a block from the hotel. The immediately surrounding streets are slightly sleepy and consist mostly of residential buildings, though there are a few restaurants and bars within five minutes’ walk.
Rooms
Plain, functional rooms with laminate wood built-ins and stocked minibars
The rooms here are nothing special, though guests report them to be clean and comfortable. Polka-dot carpeting, red bed throws, and wood panel headboards comprise the design elements of rooms with little other decor. Bathrooms are a fairly standard affair, with a shower/tub combo, a half-panel glass door, small granite vanities with minimal counter space, and fluorescent tube lighting around the mirror. All rooms have a fully stocked minibar, a makeup mirror, a hairdryer, LED reading lights next to the regular lamps by the bed, a small flat-screenTV, an electric kettle, a digital safe, and bedside outlets. Some rooms have skylight-like windows, others have a balcony, and a few have windows that open up onto the interior atrium of the hotel. A few rooms have a small couch that opens up into a bed.
Features
Small fitness center, meeting rooms, lobby bar, buffet restaurant, and small spa
There is a small wood-floored fitness center with a handful of exercise machines, in addition to a few meeting spaces with audio visual capacities, and a spa with a tanning bed and a 24-hour sauna (wet and dry). Printers and computers are available for guest use upon request. The lobby restaurant provides Hungarian-inflected bistro fare. There is a relaxed lobby bar on-site. Expect to pay extra for indoor or outdoor parking, and breakfast.
