The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. During our stay, a fire alarm went off, and several scared guests crowded in the lobby. He did nothing to ease our stress and if anything exacerbated it - he dismissed everyone’s worries as if we were crazy for being concerned, refused to call the fire brigade, refused to call the manager, and at one point left the lobby full of scared and confused guests because he was “stressed” and “needed to take a smoke break.” We explained to him multiple times that he had to call the fire brigade for us, as no guests spoke Hungarian and thus could not communicate with the firemen. He continued to refuse, stating that it was a crime to call the fire brigade (50-2000 euro fine, to be exact) when there was no fire. We asked how he was certain there was no fire, and he replied that the alarm went off due to steam coming from a shower. We asked him how he knew this, as he was not a fireman, and he snapped back that we were not firemen either. He continued to refuse to call the fire brigade even as we showed him the employee handbook and found the Hungarian fire safety laws and read them to him out loud to demonstrate that there was no fine. Overall, we would not stay here again. He was rude, condescending, inconsiderate, inhospitable, and should be fired. The hotel should strongly consider updating their fire safety instructions for employees, as this young man’s understanding of fire safety protocols and Hungarian law was lacking.
