About

Hotel Gloria Budapest City Center is a 3-star property in the Jozsefvaros district, a residential area south of the city centre. The hotel keeps things simple: soundproofed rooms, a garden terrace, and a 24-hour reception. Parking is available for those driving, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee.

The hotel's dining score is modest at 5/10, but guests consistently praise the breakfast, noting variety and dietary options like soy and lactose-free milk. Rooms range from singles to a family room with four single beds and a balcony. With a guest rating of 8.2 across over 2,000 reviews, it earns its reputation as a no-fuss choice for city trips.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Guest-favorite breakfast — Reviewers repeatedly mention a plentiful breakfast with a variety of options, including soy and lactose-free milk — a rare touch for a 3-star property.
  • Helpful and courteous staff — Several guests highlight the reception team as friendly and helpful, especially for directions and local tips.
  • Convenient for airport transfers — The hotel is near the stop for the 200E bus to the airport, making early departures or late arrivals easier without a taxi.
  • Soundproofed rooms and garden — Rooms are soundproofed and allergy-free options exist, plus there's a garden area and terrace — a calming touch in a city hotel.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining score is low — The hotel's dining category rates only 5/10, suggesting that while breakfast is praised, other food offerings (like the restaurant) may not meet the same standard.
  • Location rating is middling — Location scores 7/10, and it's in the Jozsefvaros district, which some might find less central. However, public transport and the airport bus are within a 10-minute walk.
  • Simple room equipment — A guest described the equipment as simple, so don't expect high-end furnishings — just the basics done well.
  • Limited in-room amenities in some rooms — While standard rooms have air conditioning, the garden view double and standard single rooms list only heating — so cooling may not be available in all units.
