About

Escala Hotel & Suites

Escala Hotel & Suites sits on Nagytemplom Street, about 2.2 km from the Danube. The property houses 50 rooms across a handful of categories — from Deluxe Studios to a Three-Bedroom Penthouse Suite. Most rooms come with a balcony, air conditioning, and a coffee machine, making it easy to settle in for a few nights or more.

Guests here rate the rooms and comfort highly, and the staff consistently earn praise for their helpfulness. The hotel runs a 24-hour reception, offers paid airport shuttles, and allows pets on request. A garden area and terrace give the place a residential feel, while a business centre and meeting facilities cover work needs.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score lower than other areas — While rooms and service win high marks, the Facilities rating sits at 7.4 — the lowest category. If you need a gym or spa, this isn’t the place.
  • Check-in window is limited — Official check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59 only. If you’re arriving late, you’ll need to plan around that, though the 24-hour reception may offer flexibility.
  • No smoking on site — Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. Smokers will need to step outside, though some rooms have balconies that might be suitable.
  • Pets allowed, but with conditions — The hotel does allow pets and even provides pet amenities, but there may be extra charges or restrictions — the data doesn’t specify. If you’re travelling with a pet, it’s best to confirm directly.
