Great location
Loved the location. Super central.
Nothing I dislike but staff were particularly warm when we arrived. Fan missing in the bathroom with no window.

Good value for money, excellent location for city tour!
Super nice location, just next to the street with shops and restaurants and a few steps away from the river. Personnel was super nice and extremely helpful with all sightseeing trips and booking a night cruise, we also got early check in upon arrival ❤️ Excellent breakfasts!
Beds are really soft - but this is very individual, so just as a warning, not a minus :)

Overall Good Choice
Good hotel close to the center. Clean room. Good breakfast.
Family room booked. Got 2 single rooms connected by a door. Unfortunatelly door was locked. No parking available directly in the hotel. You have to leave you car in public parking (nearby).

Clean, modern hotel within walking distance from a lot of sights.
Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Comfortable beds. Very modern look.
The water drained slowly in the shower, ended up standing in a pool. The toilet was on the small side and had very little ventilation.

Recommended for your vacation in Budapest.
Excellent location in the city centre. Walking distance to most major attractions. Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was great and helpful reception and at breakfast. Amenities were adequate.
Breakfast. Sometimes when many guests arrived at the same time everything emptied and resupply was a bit slow. We would like some choices for deserts. Chocolate ones especially. At least some Nutella to use it as spread on bread. Coffee machine had no chocolate also, when you pressed chocolate you were getting hot water with milk. Pancakes maybe.

Massive room lovely
The room was spacious and the location perfect to get to shops and the river
Some scuffs on walls, the stairs in the room probably don't help with preventing this

Fantastic location, very central. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, room was clean and the AC worked perfectly.

The hotel was very nice with great personnel. Perfect location as well.
Only complaint: the lack of ventilation in the room’s toilet, leading to a constant uncomfortable smell.

Apart from the fact that I was promised a room with balcony some months ago, and upon arrival I got informed that there wasnt availability, everything else was great. The location was exceptional and the staff mostly friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable while breakfast was also very good.

Brilliant location. Staff excellent in all aspects. Welcoming and helpful.. Excellent value for money.
Just a more modern shower would have made it 5 stars all round. Although that is very picky! 😊

One of the best hotel experiences for me.
I liked everything about that hotel. Very good room, excellent location right in the centre of the shopping street. The breakfast very healthy and different. Staff are also very helpful and polite They are always greeting guests with smile.
There is nothing that I did not like. I will always use the same hotel any time I go to Budapest.

Prestige hotel in the fashionable part of Budapest! Room was beautiful and breakfast was very good!
Location, security, beautiful carpeted room and that huge mirror in the room! Staff was also friendly and breakfast was great too!
Just that we had to pay deposit to loan the hotel’s umbrella.

Great hotel; great location; coffee pods would have been the finishing touch.
The reception staff were very polite and helpful and the room itself was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast provided an extensive choice. Great location.
I'm not sure why the coffee capsules were not replaced; we were advised on arrival that this would be the case but it seems petty. 2 pods over a three night stay seems a little miserly (but didn't detract from the overall rating).

Excellent location
Excellent location near to the river and convenient for shops and restaurants.
View from room was internal roof so room was a bit dark. Other than that breakfast was good and the staff were pleasant and friendly.

Breakfast - stale pastries, cold bacon and eggs

Good location & breakfast
Locates near to airport bus stop n main sightseeing spots. Breakfast is awesome.
Hotel provides only one bottle of drinking water during whole stays, additional must be purchased. I am not sure one bottle per day costs too much?
