“Hotel Charles strikes me as a practical choice in Budapest, offering spacious, air-conditioned rooms with kitchenettes, something I value for longer stays. The in-house János Restaurant stands out, especially with its focus on Hungarian and modern-European cuisine. Its location near Buda Castle and public transport makes exploring the city straightforward, though some past guests have noted noise from the main road.”
