Kimpton BEM Budapest

My husband and I were here for a 4 day leisure trip. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we could not fault our experience at this beautiful hotel and will not hesitate to recommend it to others. Our room (a King Essential City View) was spacious and had everything we needed. The Balman range of bathroom products were very pleasant. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable which meant we slept really well. Housekeeping of the room was excellent. Breakfast offered a great range of foods to choose from and the breakfast staff were very polite, helpful and attentive when needed. We visited the spa, Bar Huso and Fennen Skybar on the 5th floor and had great experiences at each and again the staff were very helpful with regards to advising on drink choices. Petra on reception goes out of her way to make sure you feel welcome and is very helpful and knowledgeable if you have any questions. She made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. Location wise it is only a short walk to get to a couple of the local tram stops. We bought a 3 day pass and used it all the time to get around. In our experience all of the public transport is efficient and reliable. With the help of our pass we visited the Parliament buildings, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Széchenyi Thermal Baths, Meininger Great Market Hall and also did a relaxed sunset river cruise. Overall the Kimpton BEM is a great place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Kimpton Bem, a luxury hotel located in the Buda side. Although most of the restaurants and attractions we wanted to visit were in the Pest side, we thought the location of this hotel was brilliant as there are a few different tramlines a short walk away and this was our favourite way to travel around the city. It also meant that every day we started our day and journey with a beautiful view of the Danube river. The hotel itself was absolutely gorgeous with lots of attention to detail and it was incredibly clean. The team who worked there were always very helpful and accommodating and made us feel welcome. We had one issue with the air con not working one evening but they sorted this out for us the following day. The bed was very comfortable with good quality sheets and the shower was really powerful. We had breakfast included with our stay which we had read raving reviews about so I think our expectations were quite high and we were excited to try the breakfast. On our first day we were seated in a corner for breakfast and the system hadn’t been properly explained to us so we were under the impression that we were only able to help ourselves to the buffet even though we could see food and drinks being delivered to other tables. However, our second morning was a much better experience as we were seated in the main restaurant area and everything was explained properly and we were able to order something hot from the menu alongside a hot drink and orange juice so we enjoyed it much more the second time around. We enjoyed a complimentary drink one evening at the bar downstairs (between 5-6pm) which is a lovely addition. We didn’t use the wellness centre so can’t comment on this area of the hotel. Overall we would highly recommend staying at this hotel if you are visiting Budapest and we would love to go back someday!

We had the most incredible stay at the Kimpton BEM Budapest! The hotel is visually stunning inside with top-notch design throughout. One thing my family and I appreciated was how wonderfully dark the rooms get at night—you can get a completely perfect night of rest without annoying bright lights bothering you. The food and beverages were delicious, and from the moment we arrived, the greeting from the front desk made us feel right at home. Having visited other Kimpton properties before, this one definitly exceeded our expectations in every single way. The service, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere could not have been better. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Budapest!

This hotel is visually stunning on the inside. One very important thing aside from all the others is that this hotel has no light pollution in the rooms, so you can actually sleep. For those that travel a lot, this may resonate with you. American hotels have ruined a nights rest with LED lighting EVERYWHERE. Beyond that, the staff, food, beverages, greeting, etc is just wonderful. I have stayed at Kimpton in Amsterdam and it was also fantastic. The staff is wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel. :)

Wonderful stay. Hotel is very clean and very comfortable. The beds were fantastic along with the pillows. Hotel is very quiet, if you want the quietest part, go for the courtyard view, does not face the city streets. Room was big and clean, bathroom was clean, though the shower door seal needed to be replaced. Service of all the staff was excellent. So professional, polite and attentive. They all speak English very well. Breakfast was good, plenty to choose from. Location is on the Buda side, more less in a residential area of the City, no tourist crowds. Public transport is just outside along the Danube. Great value for the money spent. There are two bars, one inside and one roof-top. I would stay here again.
