Great location, stylish and spacious!
Hotel location was superb, almost in the hub, but far enough out to be quiet and easy to walk in any direction. Lots of good restaurants within 10 mins walk. Breakfast had a great selection, both hot or cold and was very tasty. The room was spacious and stylish
Have to leave!

A hotel with a perfect location and very friendly staff. A very likely option for us next time.
There is more to be desired from the breakfast selection but not below average in any case.
A very nice hotel but friendly and helpful staff and a perfect location. During our stay one of the elevators was out of order which caused some waiting time for everyone at the elevators. Once both elevators are in operation the experience will be even better.

Nice location in central Budapest
Location, 24 hr reception
Breakfast was ok at best. Little variety, packed with people in a hot room. Staff maintained its cleanliness well though. Having to purchase replenishments of coffee for the number of days of our stay. Went to restaurant next door as hotel gave us coupon for 10%off- they would not accept it.

Close to everything
They only give you 2 pods of coffee in the room on your first day then you need to buy extra if you want more , never had this in other hotels it was always replenish every day at no extra cost

Value for money, great location, excellent reception service
Fantastic central location. Comfortable bed, powerful shower. Rooms very clean and serviced daily, cleaning staff friendly. Excellent reception staff service, helpful and professional - particularly Kate who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Welcoming of our infant. Able to organise airport transfer via the hotel. Good range of choice at breakfast. Very good value.
Woken on two nights due to persistent loud noise from other guests. Smell of cigarette smoke in corridors, stairways and in bedroom when window open - guest clearly seen smoking out of the window below despite it being advertised as non-smoking hotel. Breakfast area very crowded, had to ask for items to be replenished, plates cleared away from our table before we had finished.

Great value for your money
The location couldn't be more excellent. Perfect for a getaway in the city, close to the underground, yet the street is a quiet one. The room design is really nice. You get some coffee and water as a welcome package. The breakfast had broad variety, from fruits and sweets to sausage and eggs. They even had glutenfree bread. You can try out some tipical Hungarian things for breakfast.

Fantastic hotel for a great price!
The location was excellent for getting around the city. The room was a lovely size and very quiet. Breakfast was very nice!
Air con didn't seem to work particularly well. On the last morning breakfast seemed quite chaotic as there weren't enough tables.

Very nice stay
- comfortable beds - cofee maker in the room - good breakfast (starting 7am) - very good location ( close to Elisabeth Bridge, very close to the shopping street, close to everything), easy to walk to Buda Castle
- maybe a negative point could be the view from the room , however we haven't spent time in the room during the day

Lovely hotel, very close to sights
Very good location, hotel was clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and welcoming
Edge of bed seemed to be slightly slamted so it felt like you were going to fall out if you were close to the edge. The beds were comfortable if you didn't roll over towards the edge.

A comfortable hotel in an excellent location.
Our room on the 4th floor was quiet and comfortable, with a view of the inner courtyard. The room had a small fridge, coffee maker and spacious wardrobe. The breakfast buffet was good with a variety of options for everyone. The staff at reception were professional and helpful. The location is excellent for sightseeing in Budapest. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
The room was a little warm as the heating/cooling unit was only slightly adjustable, so we slept with the window open, which obviously let in street noise. There is only one chair in the room.

Great hotel in a very convenient location, just minor hiccups.
Good hotel in the heart of Budapest. We had a suite, and the size of the room is impressive, as well as the setup. Downstairs you have a fully functional office space for meetings, and a bedroom, bathroom and a hall upstairs. Very convenient!
All was good, only wifi did not work upstairs, so we had to always work downstairs. Also the shower drainage system did not work well, and we always ended up with a flood in the nearby space.

It is a fantastic location!
The breakfast room was too small/crowded. Sometimes there were no tables available.
15 September 2024
Excellent and we will definitely look to stay in this hotel when we return to this beautiful city.
Room was clean and well appointed. Location was excellent for metro and local cafe and restaurants. 5-8 mins walk from Boat cruise docks. Staff were always on hand, courteous and helpful, booking Thermal Baths and River Cruise for us. There was lots of choice in the buffet breakfast with plenty of options for all tastes and some day to to day variation.
I am nit picking, but we would have preferred a kettle in the room rather than the fancy coffee pod machine supplied , simply because we prefer decaffeinated tea and coffee particularly when we come back to the room after a day out sightseeing. Although to be fair we didn't ask the staff if one could be made available. There is a coffee machine which gave multiple choices in the breakfast room, decaffeinated was not available. No great problem as I carried my own little pot but a jar of Nescafe Decaff ( other brands are available) beside the machine would cater for everyone....
