It was a great stay. The location was the best, i had no problems during my stay. The room was very nice and clean, the staff was mostly friendly. The only thing i can say is that event though it was off season and the hotel was clearly not fully booked, they didnt let me extend checkout time even for an hour. Sometimes you just have to take initiative to help out a solo traveler whos been there a few days with no problems, no requests…

My wife and I went to Budapest for the Christmas Markets and the Hotel is located directly in the market which makes it an awesome place to plan your excursions from. The staff was awesome. The airline lost our luggage and the desk clerk was kind enough to call the airport and speak to them in Hungarian and insure that our bags would be brought back to the hotel and they were. Overall an awesome experience and we will absolutely be staying here again.

We entered the room and there was dirt and a cigarette butt next to the bed When we left we asked them to clean the room and explained the location of the dirt We returned in the evening and it still hadn't been cleaned. The receptionist cleaned the room from a cigarette that was left and didn't clean it before we entered the room I asked to speak to the manager and for 3 days he didn't find time to come and talk and apologize

We didn’t interact with any of the staff except when we checked in. Hence, the rating about the staff. The only thing I could mention is the taxi always seem to get lost when bringing as back to out hotel. But other than that, it is a good location.

Great Location… but no A/C

The hotel location is fantastic, right in the center of the “Pest” side of town. The only complaint I have is that the hotel A/C was turned off, which meant you had to open the window… and it was still a little warm for sleeping. Don’t know why they wouldn’t turn it back on..?
