The hotel is in an excellent location, right in the city center and close to everything. The overall level of cleanliness is very high, although there is room for improvement in the cleaning of the rooms. The breakfast is outstanding rich, generous, and very enjoyable. The heating system was excellent, both in the common areas and inside the rooms, which made the stay very comfortable. The service and attitude of the staff were very good friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist, including providing clear explanations and guidance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location and good enough for the price.
Fantastic location. Friendly staff. Decent room. Good water pressure. Very comfortable bed. Great that they offer 10% off some close by restaurants
Towels are small, thin and like sandpaper!! Shower leaked to the extent it flooded the bathroom and out of the door onto the very very thin carpet. Even with the thermostat on the coldest setting I found the room hot and stuffy.

My daughter and I felt welcomed and safe. We had such a nice time.
Location is amazing, we literally walked everywhere, to all sites.

Nice hotel in good location
Good location, nice breakfast
Room was cold, heater/air-conditioning didn’t seem to be working properly. We had to leave for a flight at 4am and had paid for breakfast so it would have been nice to have been provided with a packed breakfast.

Fantastic central location with everything within easy walking distance, including great restaurants and shops. Conveniently close to two bridges for exploring both sides of the city.
Room lighting could be improved, and the bed was slightly uncomfortable in the middle due to the joined singles.

Typical tourist hotel
Good value hotel in central location. Rooms are functional with good amenities.
There is no "inner courtyard". View is basically 4 external building walls and gravel roof littered with cigarette buts, hard to even see sky from 1st floor.

Very good
The high rating is for the location of the hotel, near the shops, the river and Elizabeth Bridge. The rooms were comfortable and the facilities basic but all we needed.
The breakfast pastries ran out very quickly, although the staff were very efficient at replenishing empty dishes

Great location & breakfast.
Location is great, breakfast was tasty and the staff nice. Bed was super large and comfortable.
The extra bed was not comfortable at all, I would say for a child it is OK, for an adult not so much. The room itself was not very clean, a carpet really stained.

Big comfortable bed and room.
It did the job but noise from next door, the TV had no English channels we could find and we found hairs on the bathroom walls when we first checked in

Good hotel in a handy location.
Nice hotel in an ideal location next to the river. Rooms very clean and comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful. Wasn't particularly expensive so really good value for money.
Nothing really. It was all pretty good.

Had a great night there and in Budapest.
Location was excellent. Close to the river and shopping.
The shower facility was awkward to use.
15 September 2025
Overall, very enjoyable.
Clean, comfortable and excellent location. Also, very quiet.
The breakfast was very poor. Little choice and hot food looked very unappetizing. Room was understaffed so food and crockery slow to be replenished.

The location is very nice, convenient to travel without having to take the bus, next to it is parking (of course you have to pay for it yourself) very convenient to go into town or to the riverside. I will return to this hotel many times, oh I forgot the breakfast is very delicious and clean. Thank you for choosing the right place for the whole family to rest.
