I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which was very clean and comfortable. The staff was mostly friendly, though I encountered some rudeness at one point. The location is convenient, being just a kilometer from the center, but the surrounding area could use a bit of charm. The dining options were quite boring and repetitive, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but there are definitely areas that could be improved.

Rooms

The room was clean and equipped with air conditioning, which was essential given the outside temperature of 39°C.

Location

The hotel is conveniently located about a kilometer from the center, but the area itself isn't particularly nice, being on a busy street with more sex shops than decent restaurants.

Dining

The breakfast was quite boring, limited to scrambled eggs and sausages on toast every day. We chose not to use the €7 dining option as there was a nice cafe just a short walk away.

Facilities

There weren't many standout facilities, and it felt like the hotel could use some updates.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were they have a clean and modern feel, I faced some issues during my stay like unexpected room entries and an unprepared room upon arrival. The location wasn't ideal, being in a somewhat 'iffy' neighborhood, but it was close to some tourist spots. The dining options left a lot to be desired; I highly recommend skipping the breakfast as it didn’t seem worth it. Overall, the value for money is there, but some improvements are definitely needed.

The location was about a 20-minute walk from Váci utca, and while it was central, I would have preferred something closer to the main attractions.

Overall, my stay at this hotel had a mixed vibe. While the location is convenient and close to public transport, the room was quite noisy and not the most restful. The service had its ups and downs—mostly friendly, but some interactions fell short. Despite these issues, the price seemed reasonable for what I received.

I had a pretty mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the location was convenient and close to the city center. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired, with some cleanliness issues and an outdated feel. The service was hit or miss, making the overall stay less than ideal. If you're focused on budget and location, it might work for you, but don’t expect modern amenities.

Rooms

The rooms were quite old and unfortunately not very clean; I found long hair on the floor, and the bathroom had mold. The heating system wasn’t working properly, and I felt chilly in the evening.

The hotel has a good location that's convenient for getting around and finding supermarkets. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient, especially during our awkward late-night check-in. However, our room left a lot to be desired—it was far too hot and not as clean as I'd hope, with a few hair strands I spotted on the floor.

Rooms

Unfortunately, the room was incredibly hot because the heating couldn't be adjusted. Additionally, I found long hair on the floor, which made it feel less clean than I’d expect.

The location is a big plus. It’s close to public transport, making it easy to explore the area, and it’s just a few tram stops or a decent walk away from the main sights.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, mainly thanks to its great location near the tram and metro stations, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were clean but a bit noisy due to the street view and quite small, which was a little uncomfortable. The service was efficient, especially during check-in, but there was occasionally a language barrier. The dining experience was off the mark, as the breakfast didn't match the description and felt quite basic.

Rooms

The rooms were clean but small and quite noisy if you had a street view. The bathroom window faced a neighbor's balcony, which made me feel a bit exposed.

5.6/10

The hotel has a mix of pros and cons. On the positive side, it's clean and conveniently located near transport and supermarkets, making it a decent option for budget travelers. However, the service was quite rude at times, and the rooms, while variable in size, had issues with heating that made my stay less comfortable than I had hoped.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were quite variable; some were small while others were surprisingly big for the same type. Unfortunately, the central heating could not be adjusted, making it unbearably hot during my stay.

Facilities were adequate, but not particularly impressive. They served their purpose but lacked any standout features.

Gary

United States of America, April 2024

5.0/10

I had a decent stay overall, but there were certainly some drawbacks. The hotel is incredibly affordable, and the tram station right in front made it really easy to get around. However, the noise from the trams was a significant issue at night, and the service could use some improvement. If you're on a budget, it might work for you, but don’t expect luxury.

Rooms

5.0

I found the room quite cheap at £20 for the night, but it was just about impossible to sleep due to the constant vibrations from the trams passing by. If you managed to stay in a room facing the inner garden, it might be a different experience, but mine didn't quite cut it.

Service

5.0

I had mixed feelings about the service. While some staff members were helpful, I was taken aback when someone entered my room without any notice in the morning. That felt very rude and unprofessional.

Location

6.0

The location was convenient with a tram station right across the street, which made getting around easy. However, it's about a 20-minute walk to Váci utca, and I would have preferred being closer to that area since it's more representative of Budapest. The surroundings felt a bit sketchy at times.

Dining

The dining experience was lacking, as breakfast was not ready on time and didn't live up to the expectations set by the website. It was pretty basic and didn't quite match the description.

5.6/10

The hotel has a decent location, being close to public transport and the Petőfi bridge, but the neighborhood can feel a bit sketchy. The rooms I stayed in were a bit older and hard to access, especially being on the 4th floor. The dining experience was passable, with some local flavors, but I've had better breakfasts elsewhere. Overall, while there are some good aspects, the service really let me down, making this stay less than ideal.

Rooms
