Domina Inn Fiesta Reviews

I stayed in the Domina Inn Fiesta for two nights in Feb 2010. It is not really a 4 star hotel, but the price was acceptable. The advantages of this hotel are the central location, good breakfast, and clean rooms. The big disadvantage, although I admit may have been a one-off, was that loud music was played on the first night that I stayed there. I was very tired, and asked the staff at the desk 3 times if the music could be turned down. Each time the staff apologised but did nothing, which was quite frustrating. This hotel would not be my first choice if I was to return to Budapest.

This hotel is brilliant and staff are great,very courteous and dry humoured on reception.The hotel interior is very good ,the landings seem a little used but the bedrooms and bathrooms are first class,we could not fault the breakfast there was a very large choice of hot and cold food.The position of the hotel is cracking for the metro system because all routes intersect just a few minutes from the hotel,to walk to the danube takes about twenty minuets at most . To get to the hotel fom the airport catch the train to the end of the line (nyugati) then jump on the metro to DEAK FERENCTER you are a matter of mins from the hotel. This hotel would be my first choice when going back to budapest.

Spacious rooms, quite basic but with everything you need. Could do with a refurb. Reception staff and restaurant staff very helpful and very friendly and welcoming. All in all a good stay, would not rate it as a 4 star though. Location was excellent, very convenient for all the sights. We noted that some people raved about the breakfast, it was adequate but nothing special. We would recommend this hotel for a short stay, but don't expect 4* luxury. Zona taxi's at the airport are good value, less than thirty pounds return per taxi.

For the good rate we got from alpharooms, this was superb value for money. We got a return transfer from budapest transers straight to the hotel for £20per person. After five nights in this Hotel and we would have to say the location is fantastic, you can explore the whole of Pest on foot from the front door - take a left and Central Park is a 15/20min walk, which many great sights along the way. Go right and within 10 mins you will be on the banks of the Danube and taking in the spectatular views of Castle Hill. The hotel is situated in a busy little street with a few bars and some really nice places to eat, so you don't have to go far after a busy day exploring the city. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great to set you up for the day. The only downside we found with the hotel was their is no tea/coffee making facilities in the room - so bring a travel kettle and the walls are very thin - you can hear the guests next door having a shower! Ear plugs maybe advised for a good nights sleep.

Location, location, location!! For the good rate we got from alpharooms, this was superb value for money. Walking distance to the Opera house, shopping districts, parliament, basilica... We only used the metro once, to go to Heroes Square. Great restaurants all within short walking distance. The restaurant at the hotel was very good, but watch out for the wine prices. We didn't check the bill and ended paying £40 for a bottle of wine from Eger (Hungarian wine from only 2 hrs drive from there). The room was perfect and large! Will definitely look to stay here again. Staff was friendly, helpful and airport transfer was cheaper than taxi. Maybe not a 4* same as in UK, but it is eastern Europe and found it clean, tidy, big rooms, lovely fluffy white towels, haridryers etc. Just a great stay!!! And check-out is not until 12. :)

Make sure you take confirmation of booking as when we arrived at the hotel they had no record. Hotel in excellent position, most sights within walking distance and close to amenities. Room was clean and spacious with excellent shower, rooms cleaned daily. Windows were in roof and even though it was cold out the room was very hot and aircon not working, but probably not on yet. Breakfast was excellent but tea and coffee very weak. Drinks in hotel very expensive. For eating out would highly recommend the Red Cafe in Raday Street, food and service was excellent and good value. We found Budapest a bit grim but were lucky with the weather. Would recommend the tour bus and also a visit to Heroes Square. Hotel definitely not a 4 star, more like a good 3 star.

Domina Inn Fiesta is a 'good' hotel, not excellent or average but admirably good. Pros: Excellent location within minutes of the central transport link, tidy/neat & daily cleaned rooms, excellent selection continental style breakfast (probably one of the best we have had), staff very friendly, polite and helpful, rooms very spacious, excellent reception/lobby area. Cons: Kettle + cups but no coffee/tea provided, shower unit dated, corridors a strange yellow colour (but to be fair they are just corridors!), coffee at breakfast was very weak (compared to our picky standards for coffee being essential at breakfast!). Overall a good value for money hotel, excellent location with transport, sights, supermarket all in close proximity. 3/4* hotel, go somewhere else if you like a stylist and fashionable hotel.

Just returned from a 2 day midweek break at the Domina Inn Fiesta. Well situated and nice external appearance however rooms and corridors really need upgrading. Room facilities basic, no tea and coffee and shower cubicle a bit grimey. Breakfast and dinner was good. If you want a 4 star hotel then go somewhere else - this is not it.

Excellent location for sight seeing, but not really a four star. Staff variable in friendliness, showers were cold on the first day but got better and the rooms were warm and clean. The breakfast was really good with lots of variety but would not recommend the restaurant dinner, especially as we had live musicians who would not leave us alone in the meal until they got money or we bought their CD! In all, good value for money for a four star, but thats probably because its not quite four star standard!

Just returned from a 2 night stay at the Domina... Check-in was flawless and the location of the hotel was good, really close to the main Subway Deak Ter and close to the fashionable shopping street and the Opera House just on the doorstep. Main reception area was immaculate and so was the dining room/breakfast area in the basement. The room I stayed in whilst warm and comfortable could have benefitted from a newer bathroom, the shower cubiclel looked a bit run down and grimey... quite a surprise for a 4 star hotel! The same could be said for the corridors leading to the rooms. What was also dissappointing was that there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, however you could get a drink at the reception cafe if required. Also the rooms were described as wi-fi connected, so I took my laptop but I was unable to pick up a signal except down in the main reception, which was ok as they had large comfy chairs and tables to use. Interestingly the hotel also had a private dental practise in the lobby, so if you were thinking of becoming a health tourist and making use of the high quality lower cost treatment available in Hungary, then this might be an ideal place to stay. Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice in a continental style...Overall, I would use this hotel again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Domina Inn Fiesta.The staff were very friendly and helpful,especially Domenek.He is certainly worth what ever it cost's to keep him as he is an asset to the business.

We are 4 friends who have decided to have a city break each year. We have just returned from Budapest, staying in the Domina Inn Fiesta. We had a wonderful break and the hotel was supurb - excellent staff, facilities and food, highly recommended. We could not find a fault with it and would certainly return again

We were very impressed with the Domina Fiesta Inn. The rooms are a spacious size and the bathroom is sparkling white. Breakfast was great and the variety was better than most European hotels, serving hot meats and salads also. The hotel is very close to the station and streets nearby feel very safe and conveniently located within walking distance to sights, such as St Stephens Basilica. Would stay there again.

You really can't go far wrong with this place. It's a recently renovated chain 4-star hotel, slightly characterless, but with a lot of points in its favour. Excellent position, in a reasonably quiet, yet main, street in the centre, right next to Andrassy ut., Deak ter., Jewish quarter. Very helpful, friendly staff with a high level of English. Copious, varied breakfasts. Quiet, high-ceilinged, well-fitted room, with big bathroom.

The hotel was lovely, really nice staff - they were polite and very helpful.  Breakfast was extremely nice with lots of choice.  Our room was much better than we expected - it was really big with a lovely sofa.

The only thing I would suggest is for the hotel to change the pillows as they weren't comfy - they were rather hard.  

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel.
