Reviews for Lion's Garden Hotel
Review 1:Wifi, location is good but not too central, although there is a bus station 50 mts. away so only a problem if you expect to do a lot of walking
Review 2:Facilities, breakfast, room, price
Review 3:Good Breakfast, clean and comfortable room and bed. Very helpful staff, helped me set up a late transfer to the Hotel, for my daughter and a friend on arrival at Budapest Airport, and an early transfer to depart a few days later.
Review 4:Good value for money, nice location if traveling by car, solid breakfast, nice pool. Private garage is advantage (extra charged). Staff is polite, wifi in rooms is qood quality.
Review 5:The shower cabin is very small, the variety of food could have been wider for breakfast.
Review 6:Nice, quiet hotel, not far from the city centre. Free parking in the street in front of the hotel. Comfortable beds and pillows.
Review 7:A pity that the nice room had a couple of basic things missing. It had a wonderful water cooker but no tea or coffee facilities (so simple to make guests happy). It also did not have hand soap in the bathrooom.
Review 8:The helpful staff at the reception and restaurant, the good quality food in restaurant, spacious room and the peaceful area around the hotel
Review 9:Breakfast buffet had very little choice. I would recommend more fresh fruit and fresh juice. The advert online clearly said "room service" but when we got there and asked for the menu they told us they had no such thing. They mentioned that occasionally dishes from the restaurant could be served in the room but never for breakfast.
Review 10:I loved the spa and the pool even though it was only open until 8pm. The area is a very nice neighboorhood close to Kelleti Station. I had a massage with Zsoltan and I really enjoyed it!
Review 11:Mentioned above!!! Plus extremely poor breakfast!!!
Review 12:Nice hotel...but we should always ask for a toilette paper!!!! Staff was snobish sometimes...great view from balcony..great room..but no wifi at 6th floor!! Mistake to try the hotel's restaurant!! I spent my night at the toilette!!! Incredible for a 4th star hotel!!
Review 13:- Super weak Wi-fi - no internet at all! I was not able to even check my emails. Absolutely useless. - Bathroom was not cleaned after the last user - No hotel information on the room like number to the reception, internet details, breakfast info etc. - The personal was a bit assertive because I was unsatisfied - looked at me like at typical complainer. !!??
Review 14:Location with nice surrounding
Review 15:-
Review 16:It is the second time I stay in this hotel. I chose it because it's near to the railway Keleti and also to the business office I was going. Nice and practical room.The receptionist was very kind and allowed us to use the spa for almost 2 hours, till we had to leave for the train, even though we have already left the room in the morning and kept only the luggage at the hotel. It was a pleasant experience. I shall stay again in this hotel next time I come to Budapest.
Review 17:We went for dinner one night and were told to come back an hour later because it was too busy. Ok, no problem. But, when we came back one hour later, we were told that the kitchen was already closed so, no dinner for us. Basically a "sorry", make your own way ... when it was already too late to find a place for dinner in town. So, it was not the end of the world, we ended up in a kebab, but the experience could have been better.
Review 18:The pool and spa were nice. Quite a lot of choice for breakfast. It was also cool that we could use the hotel umbrellas all day for free during the rainy days.
Review 19:We had absolutely NO problems.
Review 20:Very friendly & helpful staff, nice & clean house (completely equipped kitchen, LCD TV, comfy furniture), fast Internet w/WiFi, great breakfast every day. The apartment is just at the best spot in the city: 10 mins walk from the seaside which is not too far if you gotta come back hammered after a party, but far enough not to hear the disturbing downtown life if you just want sleep like a log.
Review 21:The shower cabin was a little small. The breakfast was ok but not much variety. Ok if you stay one or two nights.
Review 22:The room had a good size with a large desk and a nice balcony. The bed was comfortable. The furniture was nice also (not dated). The location was also good close to the park where you had many restaurants to choose from. The price was good so for us it was a good value.
Review 23:Odd you have to pay €2 for a kettle in your room when you have a swimming pool, spa, sauna and free breakfast.
Review 24:Fantastic place with excellent staff. The room was very comfortable and maintained to a very high standard. Loved my stay here - great value for money!
Review 25:None
Review 26:The location and ambience of the hotel was fantastic for me and my wife. Staffs at the hotel desk were very friendly and helpful particularly showing us directions on map when going sight seeing, we must particularly mention a gentlman named Tom at the hotel desk,he was a great guy. We equally enjoyed the buffet styled breakfast,although the hotel need to include more varieties of foods. Altogether we enjoyed our stay.
Review 27:NOT working internet!!! Servis on very low level, no help at the reception: "we know the internet is not working but the hotel is full so what we can do???"... the same situation was at the restaurant where, because of the full hotel, I waited just over 30mins just to get a menu. I will never come back again
Review 28:Nice hotel, comfortable beds
Review 29:Breakfast was a shambles.had to queue for everything.toast food tea or coffee all from machines.very busy.by the time you got everything it was cold.actual food was ok.
Review 30:Nice quiet room.great location in nice area near big Park.
Review 31:The Spa pool was very cold the first day we arrived, the sauna wasn't working but when we returned the day after everything was functional! The breakfast hadn't got a lot of fresh fruit or some fruit salad but was excellent besides that.
Review 32:The Spa and the pool was perfect to relax after a day walking around in Boudapest. Rooms were quiet and verry comfortable. Staf was friendly! Everything we expected from this hotel!
Review 33:Unfortunately, theWiFi did not work on the checking day or second day of accommodation. The TV channels were not all the functional. the language was' n set correctly . In our room was a kettle but no tea / coffee / in the children room no such thing.
Review 34:The breakfast isn't amazing, but the food in the restaurant makes up for it.
Review 35:Near the city park, really nice pool, friendly staff, nice restaurant, worth it!!
Review 36:We could find a few things to complain about, but we always look the value we got for the money paid, and since the cost for two was 54 EUR per night I will only state that the spa area is small (but it was never crowded) and we would apreciate having sleepers and bathrobe in the room.
Review 37:Great hotel, good value for money with generous breakfast and nice small spa.
Review 38:Staff working on the floor during breakfast were not very friendly ir helpful and provided snappy answers to questions.
Review 39:The reception staff were extremely helpful and the hotel was close to the train station and some central attractions such as the baths and hero square. Good location!
Review 40:The air conditioning didn't work. Fortunately the windows open, though this made it noisy. Breakfast was horrible, the first day and worse the second. I would have gone elsewhere if there was anything else near by.
Review 41:Its walking distance from the station, but a long walk, and the station is the closest metro station to Budapest station. The pool looked nice though I didn't use it.
Review 42:Breakfast is not 4*! No cakes, not enough fruits... No 'small things' in toilette (like earpads, shower cap and so...)
Review 43:Everything is nice and new.
Review 44:/
Review 45:Quiet place and wonderful spa area with big swimming pool, jacuzzi and two saunas. Very tasty breakfast. 10 minutes walk from a big park Varosliget, lake, Fine art museum, cirkus, ZOO and botanical garden. Also there is the amusement park the Holnemovort Park (former Vidampark). However it rained the 2 whole days we had a great time with them!
Review 46:Nothing worth mentioning.
Review 47:Spacious room, food and drinks were great, and we regret not bringing swimsuits to check out the indoor pool, since apparently it's open all year and it does look pretty nice.
Review 48:Breakfast zone location - it is somewhere between the reception and nowhere. The breakfast itself is average as well. Lack of fruits and deserts. But not so bad.
Review 49:Hotel located in a quiet and clean district. To get to the old city is 1 hour by foot, nearby is underground station (some 10 minutes walk) or by taxi some 10-15 EUR. Nice swimming pool and sauna!
Review 50:The hotel was very nice, clean, excellent room, delicious and rich breakfast till 10.00, spa with swimming pool and jacuzzi. Free wifi, very fast connection.
Review 51:There is a recepionist guy at night that if i was a hotel owner he will be fired as soon as possible. He didn't want to help the guests! I travell a lot, first time i see something like that!
Review 52:Generally everything was ok
Review 53:I didn;t like the area, was far of the centre and the river and cleaning of room. I asked two times to change the bed.
Review 54:I like the decoration of room, the glass elevator, the swimming pool and the breakfast. Also the people was very kind and help me with the transportation in Budapest.
Review 55:Breakfast is more until 9.45.... We felt a bit pushed away after this time.
Review 56:Nice hotel with a very good breakfast. Swimming pool is a valuable advantage.
Review 57:It's a little too far out from the centre and the area around is a little worse for wear. But I suppose you get that in all major cities.
Review 58:The staff were great, the hotel was modern and clean. It is a lovely hotel.
Review 59:In our room which was last on the floor was low wifi signal but in other places was working well so it could be little bit improved.
Review 60:Perfect place, near to center and biggest Budapest Spa
Review 61:No slippers and bathrobe at room Dust at room and smudges on the bed
Review 62:Perfect breakfast Very nice sauna and pool Beautiful view from room Very nice and friendly staff
Review 63:We asked for extra pillows for our room as the pillows on our day of arrival as they were very flat.was then told that there was no housekeeping to help us.
Review 64:Close to the central train station. Short walking distance. Close to nearest metro.
Review 65:We ordered french fries for our daughter and they charged us for ketchup which is a condiment. The funny thing ketchup was available next to sausages at breakfast buffet as free of charge. It is really ripped off!!
Review 66:It is a new property
Review 67:Room - very nice and comfortable, hotel - smaller, clean and silent, breakfast - great selection of food, helpful staff, wellnes - nice relaxation after day spent in city, parking - without problem at the street in front of the hotel.... Very good value for money!
Review 68:We ordered french fires (pommes frites) for our kid and asked for ketchup which is its condiment. They charged us for ketchup as condiment. The funny thing, all condiments are provided free of charge at breakfast, next to sausages.
Review 69:Staff is really friendly and the food quality is good.
Review 70:shower was way from suffisciently covered, meaning a small flooding on the floor every morning. No cleaning between my two nights stay, which was Ok cleaning wise for just 2 days, but would have been nice to have a refill of coffee.
Review 71:nice hotel and nice room with tea/coffee facilities. serviceminded staff. fine location a Little outside the city center, but the bus going directly from the door to the Vaci street area and still fairly close to the airport.
Review 72:Heating was not functioning in the room, so I asked them kindly to see what is wrong, and when I came back in the evening and asked if it was repaired, and the same lady told me that she "guess someone was there because maintenance guy said to her that he will go and see what is wrong "? She did not check and did not particularly care about it. And of course, heating was still out of function. Breakfast: we could not sit were we wanted , but where they told us to , so not to have more tables to clean(?) I suppose. The reason why - she said we are late - it was 9.25 , and breakfast is served till 10 .00 AM. I really think you should work on those things for the category of the hotel you want to be in.
Review 73:the spa ia good but small in a way that 10 people can fill it up. the bar closes at 23h00 I've arriced to the hotel after a nice dinner with my girlfriend and it was 23h05 in theghotel watch.asked for couple of drinks, they didn't gave although all the staff was still present and in the presence of the manager of the bar they couldn't find a solution.
Review 74:It's relatively near to the city center, has a various public transports to link. the staff was very flexible ans helpfull. Made a mistake with my booking and they hace change the date without any extra charge.
Review 75:Breakfast is nothing to write home about: poor fruit selection, they could work on a pastry in a way to have wider selection.
Review 76:Peaceful location, not too far away from Heroes Square and Andrassy Avenue. Comfortable and tidy room. I did not use Spa which is part of the offer but it looks when I visited it.
Review 77:Too far from town centre for us. Our room type tea/coffee was an optional extra.
Review 78:Proximity to Keleti Rail Station. Good choice of breakfast. Breakfast was included in our price. Separate outside smoking area.
Review 79:-Pillows are terrible, thin and empty. -Movies are mostly german dubs! (No subtitles) and very poor choice. -Limited choice of breakfast -Very tight hotel (huge lobby is used as dining place too)
Review 80:-Reception staff -Modern looks -Spacious bathroom for a small room -Indoor pool and jacuzzi -Clean rooms and working AC -Very close rustic local restaurant with Hungarian cuisine (very modern servings): "Thököly Étterem" -Very close Pizzeria (custom made pizzas): "Mix-R" pizza

Review 87:warm welcome and thoroughly professional helpful staff, quiet and comfortable sleep environment, Ethernet in room, restaurant and breakfast offer many delicious options, air conditioning much appreciated in hot humid Budapest, location great for City Park and Pesht exploration, easy access to bus and Metro for sightseeing near the Pesht Central Market, Castle Hill and in Buda
Review 88:Spa and pool could be open longer and water could be more hot especially in jacuzzi (anyway it was not so hot at the morninig). In the bathroom there were some dirty places/partially damaged equipment which is rather unusal in 4 stars hotels.
