Dear Sir, I often travel to Budapest on business. I have found that the Charles Hotel is an ecellent choice for a longer stay. The rooms that are spacious and modern are reasonably priced. High speed internet access is available in some rooms and a business center is located in the hotel. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. Jesse M. Dear Sir, I wish to thank you and your staff for the excellent service provided during our recent stay in Budapest. My family and I stayed at your hotel on three different occasions in August, and we found your staff to be very courteous and helpful. Three people we want to especially thank are the young lady who attended us at breakfast every morning, the one who is smiling all the time. I am sure you know who she is. Also, the cleaning lady on the floor which room 21 is located. And, the bellboy who helped me to take our luggage from your storage room to our hotel room a couple of times. Many thanks to you all. Cliff Y. and family, Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, Canada. Dear Charles Hotel, We stayed at your hotel the nights of 27 and 28 October 2001. During this recent trip, we visited 8 different cities and stayed in 8 different hotels in the countries of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Belgium. We enjoyed your hotel the most. All your staff were friendly, helpful and very capable. You provide a full range of services that helped make our visit even more enjoyable. Any we were very impressed by your excellent restaurant and the full breakfasts you serve. All in all, we truly had a terrific time. We will certainly stay at your hotel on our next visit and will tell any friends visiting Budapest about the Charles Hotel. Thanks again. Martin Z. James M., Los Angeles, CA. First off I want to thank you for all your help in planning our trip to Budapest. What a great experience! The Hotel Charles was a great hotel. The location was perfect for us and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the Hotel (Janos) was excellent. The hotel staff at the front desk were extremely helpful in showing us on maps how to get places and were to go. We went to Pecs and Szentendre and they were worth the trip. Even though we had the 2 bedroom apartment we decided to change after the 2nd night because of the road noise. We're not quite use to the traffic noise. Budapest is a very busy city! The staff changed our rooms to 2 single rooms for the same price in a quieter part of the hotel. It was perfect after that. We met a lot of great people who helped us when language was a problem but other than that we got by with our English. I'm surprised how well they know the language. The city is beautiful and the food was great. We also met people who have been there before and told us was to see. One was the market in Pest. What a remarkable place! Bought my paprika and sausage there. I loved the building. Our taxi driver that picked us up at the airport was a treasure. He was waiting for us at the airport even though we a bit late and was on time (6:00 am) to bring us back. What a wonderful experience we had in a country I never thought I would go to. Your help has made the experience go smoothly and we appreciate that a great deal. I tell everyone about the trip and how beautiful Budapest is and about the service you provided. They had the same opinion about the country. Thanks again for all your help and the services you provided. Hope B. Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you for your hospitality. All your staff, especially the receptionist had been kind and helpful. We felt at home there. I hope to stay there again, and will recommend to others. Best Regards S.Farahabadi. I enjoyed staying at your hotel from Wednesday September 26 to Saturday September 29, room number 99. Your service were excelent and your restaurant really good, both breakfast and dinner. Staying in Budapest a few days doing professional work in an international context your hotel was a good place to stay. Travelling in a foreign country, not knowing the town, the communication systems, the language etc., the margins from coming into trouble may be small somtimes, and I am therefore glad when meeting punctuality and service. Tor Haakon S., Norway. Dear Sirs, I have to congratulate you to the excellent food in Janos Vendegl. The quality, the service, the prices all is very excellent. I will consider your restaurant for further visits always when I am in Budapest. Best regards Andreas S., Czech Republic
