Excellent location. Pleasant and helpful (but not speaking Russian) staff. Excellent, hearty breakfasts.
After reading the reviews, I asked in advance for a room with a double bed, a balcony, Wi-Fi, Russian TV channels (2) and a view of the square. That's exactly what they gave. Plus a free fridge and safe in the room.
Cleaning level, towels are changed clearly after putting them on the floor. The air conditioner worked - and warmed and cooled, if necessary.
A pleasant surprise was the free gym and sauna - was twice. You just need to report an hour in advance to be prepared.
In a word - the hotel is better than unwashed Budapest, in which there is nothing to do for more than three days. Especially during the Christmas holidays.
And the staff presented their capital much more advantageously than the unfriendly and excessively proud Magyars, who for the most part do not speak any language other than their native language, only they understand.
All this could have been a common occurrence, if not for a few suspicious coincidences.
On the morning of departure, the safe suddenly stopped closing, and I had to take all the valuables with me for breakfast.
The video clearly shows how the alleged thief is carefully watched by the security guard standing at the reception. Moreover, he even went to the window to see where the alleged thief would turn after leaving the hotel. And literally 20-30 minutes later, he told us, and the policemen called by us (at the reception refused to do this) that he did not remember anyone. Although the professional could not help remembering the person he had been looking at for so long.
Also, the girl at the entrance to the restaurant, who recorded the data about the visitors, refused to even watch the recordings on the video, they say she doesn’t remember anyone, although she looked at everyone very carefully and made notes about the living room.
Output:
The thief was probably not from among those living in the hotel, as the hotel workers tried to present him, but came from outside. Why he was so freely able to get into the hotel restaurant during breakfast, if it is not related to the involvement of some hotel employees in what happened, remains a mystery.
Location: I don't know what's good about the proximity of the hotel to the dilapidated railway station and tram tracks (as well as a gathering place for local homeless people). What is this center? We call it the industrial zone.
Rooms: tiny (you can't turn around together), with dirty walls
Breakfast: we ran into a queue (people stood in the corridor and waited for admission to the room where the food is displayed) This room itself is small. People with plates in their hands crowd, trying to get their own food. It turns out very uncomfortable. Didn't like breakfast. The products were not fresh.
If there are options don't choose this hotel
I would like to express my impressions of staying at the Golden Park Hotel from August 9 to 14.2009. The hotel is very nice, comfortable and cozy rooms with all amenities (TV, refrigerator, hair dryer, safe, telephone, air conditioning), daily cleaning, change of bed linen and towels. You can ask for an iron at the reception, you did not pay extra for its use.
The bathroom has all the amenities, great showers, liquid soap, it's all there.
The dining room is also good, the dishes are fresh and varied, there is plenty to choose from. Very convenient is the hotel's close location to the Arena shopping center, which has a Tesco supermarket, 5-7 minutes walk from the hotel.
I advise everyone to stay in Golden Park. You will be satisfied! Good hotel and nice staff! Next time I will also dwell on it.
Have a good trip!
