The room I got #89 was a terrible room. Nothing like the photos published by the property. Squeaky doors, no working electrical outlets, you can use either the shower or the sink, because the faucet in the sink is also the shower, which is so weak. The “smart” TV isn’t working. There is a water kettle to in the kitchen area, no coffee or tea or anything, you’d have to buy your own from outside the hotel, and the big joke is that there are ZERO outlets to use, unless you take the kettle to the side of your bed and plug it in there in an unsafe way, is that supposed to be a joke? The faucet in the kitchen sink is broken and the nob comes out when you use, while it clearly shows that it does not belong to the faucet and was done poorly and quickly. Wifi is extremely weak and spotty and I ended up having to purchase data on my phone to use as a hotspot on my laptop so I can get some work done. I am not sure if the room they gave me was just so bad and because they saw 2 Middle Eastern looking men checking-in so they decided to give us their worst room or the entire hotel is like that. In any case, it was a terrible experience.
Kitchen faucet nob is basically useless
Sink and shower at the same time, you’d need to control your shower by reaching out from the shower to the sink faucet which ends up making a mess and flooding the whole bathroom
Kitchen with zero amenities.
Dirty and stinky kitchen towel.

My partner and I were impressed by the cleanness of the room and the friendly nature of the staff. Additionally, it was very easy to get to and from the centre of Budapest from the hotel as there is a bus stop right outside. The only critique I can make is that some parts looked like they could use a little TLC, such as the windows and locks that seemed a little fragile. However, we were very happy with our stay!

The hotel located at a busy street. The traffic was terrible, and the noise was terrible. In addition, you will smell the not fully burnt oil out of the car engine. If you can stay with noise and very bad gas exhaustion, you can then consider it. Also the hotel is in the another side of main town. If you want to enjoy the main town, it is very inconvenient.

You can choose better place to stay.

The hotel had a decoration straight out of the 90s. The bed was fairly comfortable. However, when we entered the room, we found the toilet dirty. Although we had paid for breakfast through Hotels.com, the hotel claimed it wasn’t included in our reservation and asked us to pay extra. Even though I contacted Hotels.com and they called the hotel, we were still not given breakfast. It was a complete disgrace. The staff were friendly and helpful, but I would never stay there again and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
