Welcome to the hip and modern Eastern Europe of the 00's - 20 years too late.. 😵‍💫 The hotel is located neatly in the central area of Budapest - one of two positive things. In 2014 the hotel was part of the Michelin Guide .. which is a nice way to hint you about why it has not featured for the past 9 years. I'll tell you now 😉 Interior features a lot of early 00's decoration, meaning colorful and not matching at all to anything. The lobby is the prettiest area of the hotel - luring you to think about the 'high' standard it seems to offer. But you are surprised about what's waiting once you have your room key. The standard rooms looked worse than a hostel nearby with worn our furniture and interior. Even the bed sheets did not fit the bed, but were two bed sheets layered on top of each other - and pulled off during a nights sleep. Basically because the bed was too long for the room and they rotated the bed 90 degrees, so you were having a width of 200 cm and a length of 180 cm with your feets sticking out while sleeping (if you are an average person) 😆🤫 If you catch some sleep even though, you would probably wake up by the noise coming from the hallway outside - the doors in the room and windows are not at all soundproofed, and you hear anything from the people outside you door speaking about and hear either sirens or loud vehicles speeding up. Don't expect that you can get a 8h sleep in here! Tip: Go around the neighborhood and grab some breakfast - it is worth it x10! Breakfast looked fine in the photos, however it was the most horrible boring breakfast I have ever been for. The coffee was from a premium looking machine, but the beans were cheaper than discount, meaning they were bitter as hell - like the rest of the hotel it was a Trojan horse you selected by booking at Soho Boutique Hotel 😅 All the bread was more dry than the Sahara dessert (including a classic crossaint). The best part were actually the self-made waffles and fresh chopped vegetables, but who does actually eat that combo for breakfast?! Boiled eggs had been sitting for soo long time, that they had a black ring around the yolk (meaning over-over boiled). It seems, that the hotel tried to offer too much varieties to their guests and served the cheapest of the cheapest in order to offer soo many different choices for breakfast. Terrible! One of the most crazy things were the paint work of the painters? Seemed like the one with Parkinsons were hired in, or forgot to bring the steady hand for the paint job all around the hotel. Overall finish was a joke. They even painted the fire sprinklers in the ceiling of the bathroom, where it is supposed to spray with water if fire breaks out - I would not dare to be here, if a fire broke out..🔥 The second positive thing was the staff. Super friendly and helpful, but unfortunately can't do anything to make changes to the hotel standard. Seriously, if you haven't had it very cheap compared to a hostel (not hotel), I would not recommend you to go here. You can get a bed and a place to stay, but the rest you should not go for when booking.

I arrived 3 hours earlier to the hotel with more luggages than they could expect from a solo traveller. Front desk helped me to store the bags. The hotel is in central town. I walked around the area. Light drizzle outside but the hotel staff offered me an umbrella ☔, they were polite and helpful. After 2 hours, I returned to hotel for check-in. To my surprise, they offered free room upgrade and guided me to the room. Room was cozy, spacious and value for the price. Breakfast was good. Overall, hospitality was impressive. A hotel in Budapest I would like to return any day without second thought.

We stayed here for 4 nights we were on the 1st floor, our room was on the street side, so a little noisy around bar closing time. The door the reception echoed through the building every time it closed, which was very annoying. The rooms are small but have everything you need including a mini bar. The reception bar was very cheap offering happy hour cocktials 5-10 for €4. Breakfast consisted of cakes, salad, cheeses, meats, cereal, bread, eggs of different varieties, was the best but was very well stocked and the staff very friendly. The locations for the hotel was great! Just off the main road that leads to the river, just opposite the New York cafe. And right in the Jewish quarter, so great for bars ! No complaints from the hotel really 👌

This hotel was nicer than I expected for the price. The bed was comfortable, and the room had all the amenities you'd expect at a 4-star hotel. There was no electric tea kettle in the room when I arrived, but all I had to do was ask for one. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The location is excellent! There's a well-stocked convenience store right next door and all kinds of restaurants within walking distance. The main sights on the Pest side of the river are also within walking distance, if you like to walk like I do, or you can easily take public transport just a few stops to get to any of them. I live close-by and stayed here because my husband gave me a night away from the kids, and I was so pleased with the experience that I plan to stay here regularly when I need a break!

Great location only 2 min to metro station and 10 min to city center. The room is not big but cozy comfortable clean. Breakfast is great and including all you may want and bar is always open to order your favorite drink.

Our lovely friend Richard, from the front desk staff was our hero for one night. Remarcable how Richard, even though we just booked for the bag lockers service, he was all the time trying to make us feel comfortable and safe and he provided us conversation and he offered some snacks and coffee while we were waiting for our taxi. Once we had our taxi, he made sure than the taxi driver wasn't fooling us. Good worker, better person. This employee deserves a raise 💼💸😜 We love you so much Richard!

Located in city center and windows are have good sound isolation, it was quiet, we slept well. It’s historical building I liked hight ceiling and wooden floor. It’s old and in a good condition. We traveled with a baby, baby bed and baby chair for breakfast was provided. In the bathroom ventilation was noisy, for a one night it’s ok

The man at the reception desk seemed bored with his job and the service was rude. Room was small and extremely worn. Decoration was ugly. The whole place looked and felt cheap. It was difficult to sleep because of the noises that came from the hallway. On top of that some other guests came to my room. Apparently staff had made a mistake and gave other guests the same room number that I had. It was akward and the staff didn't compensate that incident. Awful experience.

Very central and staff were wonderful breakfast had a great variety.. Nice relaxing hotel lounge bar let down by the rooms which were so small however they were spotless . Overall I would still recomend it if visiting Budapest.Nee York coffee cafe is just across the road from the hotel its probably the most famous cafe in Budapest but be prepared to wait.

The rooms are small and the doors are next to each other. Since we stayed much better four-star or three-star hotels, we were not satisfied with this one.there was no problem with the smiley staff. The location is not bad. You can reach everywhere easily by public transportation.

We were in need for a room for a couple of hours between the two night trains. Soho Boutique Hotel offers such possibility, we have paid 45 EUR for 2 persons (the room was available from 9 to 17). The room was very comfy, warm and quiet, so we could rest. Continental bed was also very comfortable. 4 stars just because it was a super long process to register at the reception, including IDs, fillng out the forms. Maybe it could be a field for improvement for the future. I had also to give a credit card as a guarantee for the room. Besides that everything was ok.

Check-in took longer compared to other hotels I've stayed in. The room was tired looking and in need of a freshen up, and also small with little room for two to manoeuvre. Couldn't turn the bathroom light on at night so as not to wake my wife due to a window between the bathroom and bedroom with no blind allowing light to pass through. It was a room at the back of the hotel so nice and quiet at night and the bed was comfortable. The room was clean.

Very good location. In the Old Jewish quarter. Much night life, pubs, restaurants. Easy access to public transportation. Easy to get all attractions. Good breakfast, clean room.nice shower.

Receptionists are very friendly. Got upgraded to the Herbert suite which is fabulous and huge! I am really impressed with the hotel and its location as well. Chique and stylish room, bar, lounge. Very, very tasty breakfast with all Hungarian must eats present. How can this be better? Please pay extra attention to cleaning all hidden crevices, I imagine this could be hard due to the style of the furniture like the chandelier etc and please provide step out towels from the bath for the bathroom and then you are absolutely perfect!

Should be named So So hotel! The rooms are not clean, even when the room is done everyday. The rooms are also small, the luggage can't even be opened on the floor. The invoices are doubtful: we spent 4 nights in two rooms, they charged us 11 quantities! The location is very good, close to the metro and tramway. Breakfast is of extremely low quality. A pity. I don't recommend this hotel if you are looking for some standards.

Had a nice stay. Rooms are modern with comfortable beds. The AC keeps the room cool. The breakfast is tasty with plenty to offer. The staff were very help. The area is full of restaurants and the metro is just meters away.

So far soo good.

We made a reservation. Payed for the room. They're send a feedback as they waiting for us. When we arrived they told us that they overbooked so they send us away for another place. Receptionists were rude when we highlight that we still able to make reservation online for another 2 rooms. They told us that any member of management accessible regards the weekend... Not recommend at all.

Rooms are very old and uncomfortable. We got a tiny room with stains and cracks on the wall, spider webs in the corners, blood stains on the bedsheets... Very disappointing. I've stayed in much better hotels for the same price in Budapest so definitely wouldn't recommend. Staff are friendly and helpful.

What an amazing hotel!! Where do I start? 😅 First off, the staff deserve 100 stars. We had an issue with our train ticket and they graciously changed the dates without any issues. The front desk staff are all amazing, from the two guys who checked us in (sorry I didn’t catch your names, they were the evening staff on Sept 2 around 18:00). Valentin deserves a special mention, he was very helpful and friendly when we had some questions. Thank you guys for your top service! I’ve traveled to 55+ countries and stayed in hundreds of accommodations, but this hotel has some of the friendliest staff I’ve encountered ☺️ Location is also great, there’s a 24/7 market next door and within walking distance to attractions and delicious cafes/restaurants. Also a 15 min walk from the main train station, which is a huge plus! Room is cute, has everything you need, and is fairly stylish. Soft pillows and comfortable blankets :) Overall, an amazing choice and we’ll definitely be back when in Budapest!! ⭐️

The hotel room was a little bit small but worth for the price. The breakfast was delicious and every day there were different variations. The staff was great, especially the receptionist who was always ready to help! We loved it here especially because of the location, literally in front of New York Caffe and everyplace was near, the attractions, the restaurants and everything else. Definitely if we visit Budapest again we will choose Soho Boutique Hotel

We needed a 1 night stay between flights, this was the perfect booking for us, close to the bus station that leads to and from the airport, but also in the center of Budapest. The room was not that big, being December, the room temperature was very hot, i think the heat was coming from the bathroom radiator, because the heating in the room was off. The bathroom was clean and had all the necessaries and appliances, including hair dryier, and all of them were functioning properly. The room was also clean with comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast was also included in the price, which was fresh, diverse and delicious. You could also make your own waffles, they provided the dough. Overall, a good experience!

This place is incredible for what you get and the best accommodation in the area. We had to book last-minute due to an issue with our Airbnb. Fortunately for us, this place had rooms and good rates. When we arrived, the front desk staff were welcoming, understanding, up front with us about pricing and amenities, and gave amazing recommendations close by for us to check out. You're pretty much close to everything here and the restaurants / bars are great with a lot of local spots. Even the laundromat down the street was a quick help for us in the middle of an otherwise busy trip. The bar in their lobby made great drinks and were cheap. The room was small but we never felt crowded. It was quiet at night despite being in the center of everything. When we come back to town, we plan on staying here again.

If you're reading reviews and feeling apprehensive this was me last week before arriving in Budapest reading the range of reviews between 1-5 stars. I have to say I can honestly not fault the Soho Boutique Hotel, upon arrival (Monday 23rd) we were greeted by a lovely man in reception who gave us maps and told us about lots of local restaurants and activities to do nearby the hotel. Travelling from the airport to the hotel was simple because its central location is only a 10/15 minute walk from Astoria. The rooms were cleaned to a good standard, it is a very European decorated hotel as expected however still had character. The rooms were of a decent size and they were suitable for us as we spent the majority of the days exploring the city. In our room we had a safe, fridge, multiple cupboard spaces and side spaces. We stayed for 5 days and fit everything in the room quite comfortably but do bring more coat hangers as I believe we had 5. The shower was lovely and hot with a brilliant water pressure and we personally found the bed to be amazing. It was very big and comfortable and each night we slept amazingly. The airconditioning and heating facilities worked perfectly and can't be faulted. The breakfast is a typical Hungarian Breakfast which ranged each day. This included breads, meats, fruits, cheeses, eggs and sweet pastries alongside a large selection of teas, coffees and juices. The breakfast was lovely each day and they had a wide array of condiments (a perfect start to each day.) All workers at this hotel were lovely and pleasant and the cleanliness of general areas such as the breakfast area and lobby was very high. On the day of checkout, we left our bags in the hotel as we explored the city prior to travelling home and managed to get them back with ease. Overall, I would definitely stay at this establishment again, not only is its location perfect for public transport, walking and sight-seeing but for the price we paid I can't recommend it enough. Perfect for somewhere to stay especially if you're spending lots of time around Budapest.

Great location close to supermarket, bars. And plenty of restaurants, shopping 10 min walking, hop on hop of bus station 1 min walking, same public transportation. Breakfast more than enough, bedding good, room small and bathroom little in time for renovation but still good, have seen many worse places in Budapest so this one will see me again for sure. TV must be optimized soon, this is a no go. Minibar well cooling, in room safe, no more needs

Room not cleaned until we had to ask twice, no clean towels, used cups not taken away, old opened packet of meat left in the fridge from previous guests. Reception staff couldn’t be less interested in the basics needed of hotel stays. Budapest………amazing…….this hotel not so much. Expensive and not even had the basics of kettle, tea or coffee in the room and unhelpful, uncaring staff

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. The location is great for someone who is new to the city. The hotel is opposite a bus stop and a metro station is within 2 minutes walk. The double room we stayed in was quite small - there's no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but that is easily fixed by asking for a kettle at reception and getting your teabags and stuff from the Lidl across the road. The hotel is rated 4 stars, I would give it 3, due to the size of the rooms and cleanliness of the room/bathroom.

Made a reservation to park my car. Upon arrival, they told me the lot was full. What then pissed me off is that I was told my room was ready and I needed to pay a supplement to put my luggage in the room and change. Two chicks showed up 30 min after me when I was in the lobby, checked in and were allowed to get to their rooms. Rooms is a bit of an overstatement: definitely needs a refresh, perhaps even pushing the walls, installing an adjustable shower head, putting a TV that is actually hooked up, adding a fridge that actually makes cold. Mine was an oven. Oh and stop the goddamn drip in the bathroom. I enjoyed the AC, the decent speed on the Wi-Fi, and the breakfast buffet. Overall service was definitely sub par. If you want something ask for it three times with a loud voice and it may work. Another thing I came to realize is that if you’re leaving the room, everything is shut off, including the power outlets, which makes it impossible to charge a device or a phone if you’re not in the room.

Lovely staff, very good location in the city centre with rich breakfast and spacious and tidy rooms, available parking is also good, you need to make reservation ahead of your arrival because it's small capacity parking

Unfortunatley didn't have a great time at this hotel. We encountered a few issues with our room, on our first day due to water damage our floor in our room had to be taken up and relayed, which was slightly stressful, especially as we couldnt get back into our room until about 7pm. Then later on in the week water began pouring out of our bathroom ceiling, and we were told this would happen everytime the person abouve us had a shower. In addition the room was pretty gross, stains everywhere, cobwebbs and dust, and we were not given a fitted bedsheet, merely a sheet that covered the matress so we had to be careful not to move too much in our sleep otherwise it would expose the dirty matress underneath. room cleaning wasnt really cleaning, merely making the bed look nice again. also ive got a few diatary requirements and i found breakfast was not worth the money, nothing was labelled and if anyone has any allergies i wouldnt recommend it. the only redeaming quality about the hotel is how nice the reception workers are, particularly the helpful evening reception worker who was very kind and apologetic for the issues we encountered on our stay.

Stayed here for a last minute trip in January. The rooms were quite dark and very small, however the beds were comfortable and we slept well regardless. The staff were super friendly and helpful - they helped us call taxis and offered to store our luggage on the last day. The location was superb - directly across from the New York Cafe and near to various shops, restaurants and metro stops and walking distance to the Danube.

An awesome and noise quite hotel in the middle of downtown with night life to offer and other attractions. The rooms are small but cozy and the beds were also comfortable. I did have an inconvenient situation with my room but the front desk was super courteous and took the matter taken care of right away. I was also quite well impressed with their breakfast selection.

Very well location in the centre of Budapest. Staff was amazing, very helpful and kind! Breakfast was also quite good and they have 2 cocktails x 7 euros all day!

Really great value in a brilliant location. Easy to walk to the main part of Pest but also so much to do and see in the Jewish Quarter and nearby. Reception staff are great and a really good varied and plentiful breakfast. And good coffee too!

4* Hotel is a shock. Very, very basic. Feels similar to a airport hotel or even hostel. Rooms were basic and dated. Breakfast was a shambles. Front desk staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful, that's about the only positive.

Great location in Pest. Right near the Jewish quarter and New York cafe with loads of public transport links. Very dusty and small rooms that need a deep clean. I dropped black jeans on the floor and couldn’t get the dust off them. Terrible view out of our room. Okay for somewhere to get your head down but probably wouldn’t stay again as it is not value for money. Shop next door and restaurants on the same row. Have a bag room you can leave your bags in after check in.

Maybe top rooms are four stars otherwise you can get room with view to inside of the hotel where light shines to your face whole night. Sane ppl use shades but what if you really like to wake up with the sun, tough luck. Walls are almost paper so expect to hear a lot from nearby rooms - ear plugs. But for the price and location it's pretty fine, 3 stars - it's OK.

Best hotel in Budapest! Good quality, friendly staff, great location for having fun in the evening and the price is fair. I will definitely come again.

Loved it. The room was decent and clean and the food was tasty. Great value for money.

Good hotel, small room, but clean. Good breakfast. Good locations.

Clean nice rooms friendly staff, the breakfast was good but basic but die the price it was worth it

The room was not very clean, bathroom sink had toothpaste on it..

Nice service and good bed

Great hotel for it's price. Rooms are clean and nice. You have everythiing what you need. Staff are very polite. You have bar inside near reception and you can try different coctails for special prices.

TL;DR: You get what you pay for nothing less of it and nothing more. Me and my spouse stayed at Soho for almost a week recently and our experience was average, the room we got was kinda small even though we didn't go for a small room, it had a an almost transparent glass wall that separates the showers from the actually bed (not to say it is necessarily a bad thing but some people may find it problematic conceding it wasn't written anywhere). - The room itself was kind clean, and kept that same kind clean way each day, I wouldn't say it was the cleanest as there was dust in so many places that are just more hard to get and consume more effort. - The staff at most was nice and kinda friendly but I must say that the reception although not always the friendliest will take care of your questions and needs especially if your a tourist that needs suggestions for good restaurants, places to visit and etc. - The food, Soho serves breakfast each day between 7:30 am - 10:00 am and I must say it didn't go bellow my exceptions but it did not go above either. There is a fair amount of things to choose from so I believe most people will find at least something they can grab before going out, the staff that cleans the tables and refills the buffet is very nice and kind so cheers to them for the great service.

Great Place, Staff especially Christian were great.

Smaller room but cozy. As a smoker, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't smoke within hotel even though there was a shared balcony.

Pretty good for 4stars hotel, however I have found a lot of hairs in our room - on the floor and in the bed, that's why 4stars only. But overall good hotel for short term stay. Very good location, close to many pubs/shops/restaurants. Would recommend.

Very small and cold room, heating was not working, for a queen size bed we got to small blanket's. There where hair remains all over the bed and pillows, also the sealing in the bath room started to show sign of fungus. For a 4 🌟 hotel this is a no go, more like a 2 🌟 hotel. I don't recommend, pay a bit more but get a good hotel. Breakfast was good. 👍

A really disgusting hotel!!! Hairs in bed Dust in the room and under the bed really disgusting The shower dosent work And the worst they are thieves and liars. Because of our complaint they took money from our credit card after we left. Be careful !!

The hotel is quite good, the rooms are small but it was fine as I was staying alone.. the breakfast spread is nice and it's situated about 2 to 3 mins walk from all the public transport.

Lovely and clean delicious breakfast lovely staff. Downside rooms too small need updating. Bathroom too small. Not enough cupboard space for clothes. Wardrobe too small for two people. No natural light getting into bedroom. Apart from that we loved Budapest

On arrival late evening staff were so pleasant and helpful (even though under pressure with everyone arriving at once and of course some people having no patience) but easy check in and on arrival found our room clean and tidy - room was a little tired but house keeping great and beds so so comfy (which helped after each day of our holiday walking miles!) . Everyday came back to it lovely and clean. We had to report out shower holder was broken and on return that evening a new one had been installed, so pleased with the quick turnaround as nothing an issue and staff lovely on every occasion. Bar staff so lovely and attentive. Breakfast really reasonable and accommodating all tastes and requirements. Hotel very handy and had a family run atmosphere- great value for money and would recommend to anyone - thanks all for a lovely stay well worth a visit.

Hotel was nice, the staff very helpful and the room despite being small, was clean and tidy. Daily maid service. Air con was non exsistant which made sleeping unbearable as it was hot outside and in. Had a room overlooking main road so was noisy most of the night with the window open. Breakfast was OK. I believe they did offer a hot option, 3 days we were there, they had scrambled egg, sausages and then some different regionalal food. It may have been hot when it left the kitchen, but it was like the remaining cold option food when put on your plate.

There was dog hair in the room. on the last day, my door got stuck, before I leaving the hotel. the first time they ask for my credit card and they took my cvv code. they say it's hotel policy. parking is paid.. break fast and staff are nice and friendly.

We stayed here this week for 4 nights. On arrival staff were very helpful and gave us some information about different places to visit in Budapest. We were able to buy tickets for the thermal baths and hop on and off bus from the hotel which was very handy. The hotel is located very closely to bars and restaurants and there is a hop on and off bus stop less than 2 minute walk from the hotel. The room we stayed in was very clean, and the breakfast was very nice. Special thank you to Krisztián who is a lovely receptionist and is very approachable. He went above and beyond for us and made us feel very welcomed at the hotel. I reccommend this hotel to anyone who is going to Budapest!

Almost killed me twice. The bathtub is above floor level making it almost impossible to get out without slipping. I slipped, falled and opened mi elbow then they charged me 34 euros for using the Phone to call the hospital. If that was not enough when I was leaving I sat in the bed and a loose metal piece pierced into my pants and leg. Please be safe and stay away from here.

Room is dirty. Very small. However good for the price. There is no donot disturbe sign. Forks are not clean. Food is not really good. The location is good some how. Found hair of other people in the bed. Shower strainer smell very bad. Heaters are not working like. If I am managing this hotel I would really care much of the reviewers comments and try to fix the flaws to make much profit out of this hotel. Otherwose call hostel instead of hotel. However I would not come again. P.S: The staff are kinda friendly.

This is an ok hotel but don't expect a sizeable room. You couldn't swing a cat or any other animal in our room but they did cram in a double bed, TV and cupboards and a shower/WC. Basic buffet breakfast which varied slightly each day. About 30 minute walk from main attractions.

They say it's a 4 stars hotel, but the services and a conditions barely reach 3 stars. The rooms are very tiny, outdatet and dusty. A bigger luggage can't fit in the room, literaly there is no place to put your luggage! All drains were stinky. You can hear all the noise from the a corridor. If your neighbors open their doors, it sounds like they open your door. The breakfast was average. Some of the employees were polite, some of the employees were rude. They didn't even ask why we left one day earlier. (And yes, we left one day earlier, beacuse the place was such a disappointment. I don't recommend this hotel!
