8/10 Good
"The rooms were clean and the property well kept. However, something went wrong with the hot water heater in the hotel and we were without hot water for 2 days. The hotel ended up transferring us to their sister hotel (Exe Budapest Center), but I felt like a plumber should have been on hand to fix the hot water heater within a few hours."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a river view room which meant we had some stunning shots out of the window. A tip: close the curtains before you leave if you're going out for the day as the sun shines directly into the room and the air con will struggle. The room is spacious, with a good desk area for those who need to work. The only tiny downside is that the rooms are a bit dated. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly - from the bell hop to the concierge to the check in staff. They also have umbrellas to borrow.... The Lebanese restaurant was also very good. Extremely tasty food and definitely worth a try. A bit expensive for Budapest but worth it. We didn't use the other restaurant/bar nor did we have breakfast so can't really comment. The location if second to none. Your right next to the Chain Bridge and delightful day out is a walk across the bridge, onto the funicular railway up to the castle, Fisherman's Bastion and other attractions. 10 minutes to the Parliament and 10 minutes the other way to the Market and lots in between."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Vison Hotel, the property is only six years old and well maintained on the whole. Shower needs to be cleaned up as there are some areas of mould in the grouting. The shower does leak into the bathroom unless you get someone to lay the towel against the door, this prevents flooding. Nesspresso machine in the room is a great touch, tea bags are also available and replenished daily. All the staff were very pleasant and nothing was too much bother for them. Breakfast was good with great deal of diffrent salads, cheese, cold meats, fruit, cereal and cooked breakfast. Self service coffee machine delvers good coffee. We had tapas one evening at the hotel they were delicious, well presented, we would recommend the tapas. Loved the 24 hour coffee and tea making area. The ladies who look after this area are outstanding as they are constantly washing up and making sure everything is topped up. Vision hotel is located by the river Danube with the view of the Gellert hill. Easy reach of the local transport.Nice restaurants nearby, we tried Lebanese, Greek and a Bavarian nearby and we throughly enjoyed the food. We definitely would stay at Vision hotel again."

"Perfect location to explore Budapest, one block from the Danube, subway and Parliament. The hotel is very clean and nice, front desk staff went out of their way to help with any issue. The room, which was the largest single room I’ve ever been in with high ceilings, was spotless, the bed and pillows were comfortable. I highly recommend the hotel for your stay in Budapest. P.S. The price was right."
