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

Michelin Guide "Modern hotel with a vast atrium, a stylish lobby-cum-lounge and a pretty terrace."
Frommer's "This is the only Sofitel in Hungary... rooms have been decorated with soft beige-on-beige designs and the beds have luxuriously huge pillows." Full review
Fodor's "The 10-story atrium... is impressive albeit not at all representative of the city it's in."
DK Eyewitness "Located close to the Danube, most of the Atrium’s rooms have terrific views of the Castle District and Pest."
Star Service "This hotel has a fresh modern appearance and top-notch service that puts it at the top of the second tier, just below the Four Seasons and Kempinski. This place outpaces the Marriott." Full review
Gayot "The interior design of this property exhibits contemporary architecture with splashes of dark browns and pinks with modern furniture and abstract floral arrangements."

Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"Situated next to the Chain Bridge overlooking the Danube with staggering views of the Grand Palace, the primo city-center location of Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge might be its biggest selling point." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With a prime location near the River Danube, Hungarian Parliament, Hungarian Opera...this is a great option for its location and mid-level price point. Not to mention its luxury pool and spa." Full review
