Great location with friendly staff! We arrived early with 5 rooms booked, and 3 were available right away, so we could leave our bags there until the others were ready. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and Lidl is just around the corner. The metro station is also very close. The location alone makes this place highly recommendable. As for the rooms, they could be cleaner and more modern, but considering the price, it's what you'd expect. We mainly used the hotel as a base for sleeping and showering, and it worked perfectly for that. Thanks again!

Everything was good. My only complaint is, I could not get a cup of coffee at the hotel unless I purchased the breakfast. I only wanted a coffee, not the food. I had to leave the hotel to find one.

The room was clean, a bit old but very functional, the shower did take quite a while to heat up. The location was excellent, easy walk to the stations, great restaurants & bars all around. We had breakfast each day which was very good. Overall a good hotel & I’ll book again if I go back to Budapest.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This facility in unacceptable condition — and, more importantly, a serious safety hazard. *Most alarming was that the glass shower door in our room was unhinged, posing a clear and immediate risk of injury. On top of that, we experienced: *Mold everywhere in the washroom *Heavy calcium buildup and stained fixtures *Worn, detached, stained carpets in the room and main corridors. *Deteriorated room furniture. *Boken &/or worn lobby doors, steps, couches, corridors, and entrance These conditions do not reflect a three-star property by any stretch and were clearly misrepresented. Do not book in this hotel.

Positives: Location is good. Many sights/activities are walkable and lots of dining options around. Lobby is nice. Negatives: (1) Room was dated and neglected. Examples: Mold in bathroom, scuff marks on walls, mattresses were uncomfortable (likely very old), carpet had a faint odor. (2) No safe in room (3) No coffee maker in room.

Accommodating staff. Breakfast was ok overall (especially if you like bacon!), but became monotonous after 3 days. Great location. Near metro, lots of dining options. Had to set AC way down to move the needle-and this was May. Staff was conversant in English.

Budapest city center hotel.

This hotel has a convenient location in the city center. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was noisy with lots of rowdy people partying on the street near the hotel.

Great hotel in good location.

The hotel is in a great location so you can walk around the city if you are young enough. Good hotel and kind staff. The only issue is the hot water is not stable so you get hot water for a moment and cold water for next moment and this is very annoying while taking a shower. Other than this overall is good!
