"Good value & pleasant stay" Hotel Ventura is in a good location on the Fehervari, one of the wide arterial roads leading to the centre of Budapest. The trams and buses stop almost in front of the hotel; and that is a very useful facility for people with walking difficulties. There's no walking around side streets to get to the trams. The hotel itself is good value for money for the budget-conscious traveller. If I had realised what good value it was, I'd have booked a longer stay. The bedrooms are modest, plain, without any pretentious frills, but clean, well-looked-after, comfortable, and very generous for size. My room (actually a 3-bedder) had a little vestibule/ante-room arrangement which provided storage space for cases etc. and access to the shower-toilet. Another doorway led to the spacious bedroom, which had a satellite TV, a fridge and a telephone. The breakfasts were very good, varied and generous, with a good, wide selection of both hot and cold buffets. The dining-room is large, bright and pleasant, which also serves very good evening meals. There is a small garden behind the hotel, with chairs and tables for summery weather; but we were never actually in it, and no-one else was using when we were there. The reception area has a small bar in it, and some comfortable chairs-and table seating, along with a little room for "left luggage" on the day you vacate your room. The reception staff speak good English and are very helpful in telling you about places to visit, exhibitions to see, and which numbers of trams or buses to take to get there. They can also help correct your pronunciation of basic Hungarian words. You will find that the lower-level staff don't speak English, but some speak a little bit of German. If you like evening coffee and snacks in your bedroom, you will have to take your own electric kettle and cups etc. as these are not provided. But if you buy ready-to-eat sausage outside, you can easily store it the fridge. There is a nice, little, Hungarian-food restautant just a little way up the road from the hotel, and it's not expensive. Very useful, if there's an evening when you can't get into the hotel restaurant because of a private function taking place in it.
