We had a great time staying in the Diamond Room. The apartment is in a brilliant location, with easy access to everything we wanted to see. It looked fantastic, the bathroom was really nice, and having the kitchen area was a big bonus. The place was beautifully decorated, clean, and felt very welcoming. We also had a lot of fun with the pinball machine and ended up using it more than expected! You can really tell the hosts care about providing a great space and looking after their guests. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect central Budapest apartment

We stayed in the White Happy Home Budapest apartment which was beautiful. Greeted by the lovely Kate who showed us around & explained everything wonderfully. Great location to explore everything central Budapest has to offer. Only a few metro stops from the city centre/Danube or approx. 25 min walk. Very clean, huge shower, great little kitchenette with lots of appliances. Spacious apartment in general with lovely mezzanine level for the bedroom. Great value for money for a self-contained city centre apartment.

We stayed at Happy Home Diamond and this beautiful apartment was truly a gem! The owner Bjorn was amazing to work with and his staff is top notch! Perfect instructions on how to locate & enter plus a great booklet of everything you need once you arrive. Close proximity to market, St. Stephen’s Basilica, The Danube, and easy access to all public transport. We slept wonderfully each night as the property was very quiet. Everything you need to cook or reheat is provided for you. Having a washer/dryer available was so appreciated as we are traveling for 30+ days with only backpacks. The apartment is so sparkling clean and a wonderful size shower at the end of each busy day was so welcomed. We cannot recommend the Happy Home enough! They are worth every penny! We cannot wait to return to Budapest again and will most definitely be returning to see Bjorn and his Happy Home team again!

Really enjoyed our stay at Happy Home Diamond. Nice, quiet street & building with a secure gated entrance. Great location 2 mins walk from a main square with metro / tram / bus stops. Better shower than most hotels & having netflix on the TV was a nice touch. Very friendly staff showed us the facilities and then at the luggage drop-off office. If possible it would be a good idea to indicate the correct building. The ceiling in the bedroom area is uncomfortably low and the pillows weren't great, but they're minor inconveniences.

Big space

We had a five night stay at Happy Home White. The apartment is big. There is a kitchen full of necessary stuff. Close to supermarkets, bus, tram, metro and train stations. The apartment is very dark and humid. The loft upstair has no storage. Very low ceiling. Head board tucked into a concave wall. If someone is claustrophobic like me, you are in big trouble. Shower is not consistant. Hot shower turn cold several time during my shower. Pinball machine, electric key board is nice but no time to make use of them if you are busy touring the city. More storage space instead would be nice. Washing machine is nice.

Een top locatie in het hart van Boedapest. Alles prima geregeld, uitstekende communicatie en iemand aanwezig bij aankomst om alles uit te leggen.

とても良い部屋でした。 キッチンや洗濯機&乾燥機（部屋のすぐ外にあります）がついていて、部屋も広かったです。 ロフトは身長170cm以上だと頭があたると思いますので注意が必要です。 徒歩5分程度でスーパーなどもあるためとても便利です。 気になる点としては、部屋に入るための中庭は埃っぽいのと夜になるとだいぶ暗いです。 また、場所がわかりにくく迷う可能性があります。ただし、WhatsAppでメッセージを送るとすぐに返信してくれるため、迷った時には連絡するのをオススメします。

We were in the white apartment. It was lovely and clean with everything we would need even down to dishwasher tablets. Was a little bit smaller than we thought but still very spacious. Very quiet considering we were just off a main road. Supermarkets were 2 minutes away and which ever direction you walked in for around 5 minutes there was shops and bars. Only thing I would say it needs is a thicker mattress, more pillows and maybe a lamp or something upstairs.

This is a unique, quirky apartment in a great location. Yes it looks a tad rough around the exterior but don’t judge a book by its cover. Inside it is clean, bright, fun and safe. We loved the pinball, guitar and keyboard. The mini bar was a great added bonus as was the free mobile WiFi. Staff were super as were their transfers.

This property is really well located— very central with excellent metro and tram links. Also a nice stroll of 15 -20 mins or so into centre. It’s really quiet at night so you get a great night’s sleep. Everything worked really efficiently and the internal design is to a high standard. Ours was a December visit and heating was excellent. Great shower also. Great choice to stay amongst locals rather than in hotels. We would highly recommend this property for your Budapest visit. The take out mobile wifi hotspot was a great bonus also. If so inclined we’d highly recommend the Palatinus Strand on Margaret Island for a spa and swim— outdoors and indoors. It’s really spotless and not overcrowded. Take tram 6 or 4 and then 3 stops on no 26 bus or just enjoy the walk on the beautiful island . Well done to Happy Homes — everything is as advertised , transport to and from airport was great and great reception also on arrival . 10 out of 10 !!!
