Kimpton BEM Budapest

I miss Budapest! The moment you walk in through the grand doors the staff of the Kimpton make sure you have all your needs met! The employees that work here make this hotel special. There was always someone available to help with how to get around and answer questions. The entry way is nice and clean especially the rooms. The beds were so comfortable, I was able to relax and sleep well. The rooms were so quiet with no outdoor noise. I did get to view from my room the Danube river which I really enjoyed. I loved the wellness area especially after just checking in and after a day of sightseeing. The cold bucket shower was the best in between the steam room, sauna, and hot tub. Lockers are provided which is a plus. I did order a Toasted Kimpton Burger at Bar Huso and the Burger was unique and I really enjoyed it! They have wonderful dining options. It’s very easy getting around to see all the sights by walking or using public transit which is steps from the hotel. I was a pro by the end of my stay. I will be back!!!

We just checked out today after an incredible stay, and we can’t say enough wonderful things about Kimpton BEM Budapest. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We were traveling with our toddler and our two Golden Retrievers, and the team made all four of us feel right at home. It’s rare to find a luxury hotel that is so genuinely welcoming to both children and pets. Our room was beautifully prepared before we arrived, including thoughtful amenities for our dogs that immediately made us feel welcome. There was even a sweet welcome treat waiting in the room that our toddler absolutely loved. Housekeeping did an outstanding job refreshing our room each day—it was always spotless and felt like returning to a brand-new room after a day of sightseeing. One moment that really stood out was during dinner. Our toddler mentioned wanting a breakfast food, and without us even asking, the staff surprised him with a plate of donuts. It was such a thoughtful, unexpected gesture that completely made his evening. Those little acts of kindness are what make a stay truly memorable. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The valet team was always friendly, efficient, and eager to help, and the concierge consistently went above and beyond. They even took the time to call and check whether our dogs would be allowed to accompany us on a Danube river cruise, saving us the uncertainty and making it easier to plan our day. The location was fantastic. It was easy to hop on the tram to explore the city, and we loved being able to walk right along the beautiful Danube promenade. Many of Budapest’s highlights were either within walking distance or just a quick tram ride away, making it an ideal base for our visit. One thing we especially appreciated was how peaceful the hotel was. The room was exceptionally quiet, and even the hallways were calm and serene, making it easy to relax after busy days exploring Budapest. The soaking tub in our room was another highlight—it was the perfect way to unwind each evening. The value of our stay was excellent, especially because we were able to bring our dogs with us. Instead of leaving them behind, they got to be part of our adventure, which truly made this feel like a whole family vacation. That is something we’ll always remember and deeply appreciate. Beautiful hotel, outstanding service, a wonderful location, and a team that genuinely cares about its guests. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and will enthusiastically recommend Kimpton BEM Budapest to anyone visiting the city. 10/10. Thank you for making our visit to Budapest so special!

Everything has been lovely! It’s a little out of the way but a $10 uber ride to everywhere we went to go we makes up for the peaceful location. There is also easy nearby trolleys if you prefer to take those! The bath spa was nice as well in the basement.

The service at the Kimpton was amazing. From Peter on arrival to the front desk staff as well as the staff in both restaurants all were enthusiastic and helpful. The waiter at the lounge even managed to find Wimbledon on the TV for me.The common areas are beautiful. They are new but retain a bit of old world charm. The room was nice. Just a view of the building across the way but since I spent most of the daay out and about that was fine. There are views from rooms in the front of the hotel so if I was to return I would try to get one of those. The trout I had from room service was perfectly cooked which seems difficult to do in a restaurant let alone from room service. Note that the hotel is on the Buda side so it is a bit quieter than the Pest side. The castle area is a nice 15 minute walk and the attraction on the Pest side are about a 20 minute walk. I walked everywhere so this was not an issue.

Great place to stay, close to all the sights and places to go.
