Budapest 2025

Amazing hotel. Easy check in. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Access to the pool, sauna and spa (pool is FOC, spa services have additional costs). Staff were friendly and spoke English. Rooms were clean, spacious and we felt safe there. Hotel was a fab location and walking distance to everything. Bus route was about 10mins walk away. We got the 100E bus from the airport to the hotel and same on return. Hotel is a hidden gem in Budapest. We didn't eat in the hotel as we wanted to venture out but the resturant looked lovely and the food smelt amazing. Hotel is around the corner from the Karavan street food. A Tesco and Spar is a 5 min walk from the hotel. We walked everywhere. Buda castle and Szechenyi spa both took us about 40 mins and these were the furthest things away that we did. Can't recommend this hotel enough 10/10

From the outside you do not see the beauty of the hotel until you through its rolling door and see how beautiful and clean it is. The staff are very helpful and nice, even though there was a bit of a language barrier. I will recommend this hotel.

My overall experience was disappointing. The room, sauna, and pool were all small, and the towels were stained, which was unacceptable. The hotel was overpriced, and on top of that, they charged for parking. After leaving, I noticed an additional charge on my credit card with no explanation, which felt dishonest. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone based on my experience.

Walked past the hotel severaltines not realising i had arrived. No signage outside even though it has a beautiful front entrance. Reception staff helpful. Had problem with bathroom drainage. Was very slow to drain away. Gave us a new room and was very spacious. However same problem in this room so concluded that every bathroom had same problem. Drainage problem. After midnight on new years day there was a massive problem with getting into our room. key cards wouldnt work. Not just mine but seemed to be everones key cards didnt work. Waited approx an hour to get into room using master key which one of reception used. I would assume he let everyone else into their rooms. Curtains hanging off rail looked to be unhooked.switch button on lift missing. Not fixed while i stayed. Whilst having breakfast on first day i observed a waiter using his vape(electronic smoking device) in the kitchen near the pass, in my 45 years of being a chef i was pretty much disgusted with what i saw. I did inform the reception. Poor quality towels looked to be very old and worn. Housekeeper were hit and miss with towels and coffee/tea/hot chocolate sugar etc... had to call down a couple of day.to get them replenished. I would like to think that what ever was offered on day one is also offered on the last day and any day Inbetween. It seems ok to charge vastly different prices for days staying so surely the service should be at least as good as day one. Breakfast was very good and was alot of choice.
