Frommer's "After opening in 1991, owner Károly Szombati has accumulated 73 apartments in a group of buildings in a less-than-eye-appealing Buda-side neighborhood." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Rooms on the quiet side of the building do not suffer from traffic noise in the morning. The hotel’s restaurant is very good, and breakfast is a real treat."
Rough Guide "On the hill up from the Erzsébet híd on the main road to Vienna, this friendly apartment hotel was one of the first of its kind in the city."
Lonely Planet "The Charles has 70 ‘studios’... with tiny kitchens and weary-looking furniture as well as two-room apartments." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The lobby is a joy in itself, setting a luxurious scene even before guests reach their rooms, which are equally stunning."
Rough Guide "One of Budapest’s grand prewar hotels, this imposing building was used as offices for some forty years, while the ballroom acted as the very opulent Red Star cinema."
