10/10 Exceptional

Sehr schönes Apartment in der besten Location direkt im Zentrum. Das Girl am Telefon war super nett und hat mir ganz schnell mit dem Tür-Code geholfen. Alles Bestens! Gerne wieder.
Beat, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

No hot water and couldn’t get in!

Was locked out when I came back in the evening as my phone battery had died. I was given a key card for my room but the door to the hotel was locked behind a keypad. No hot water in the morning so had to have a cold shower,

It was great location and affordable prices in this hotel for touring in the heart of Budapest.
Hyunjin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, very convenient and walkable. Good if you just want a place to sleep. Getting there is a bit complicated, especially after hours. Rooms are nothing fancy, and not the cleanest. Dark hallways. Bed and linen/pillows weren’t the comfiest.

This was a beautiful place to stay in an excellent location for sightseeing and Karenina and the other staff were lovely. I would stay again!
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location amazing.

Location is absolutely fantastic. Centrally located in a lovely location. I had the basic room with no view of the basilica but I was out the whole time so not important. I’m sure the rooms with views would be stunning. Clean rooms freshly decorated. Lovely girl on reception recommend a local restaurant to me which was amazing. Thank you and see you next time I’m in Budapest.

Excellent location. The staff were super helpful. We had a couple issues with the plumbing, but they were on it very quickly.
Jillian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Apartments “mixed” into the building the hotel is located. In common areas, constant strong smell of trash. Convenience and views are the only redeeming part of staying here
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location, location, location. No thrills, but very reasonably priced.

10/10 Exceptional

It was near many restaurants, attractions, & shops which was very convenient. The elevator has a very small capacity but staff were very helpful.
Jose Ian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Läget var perfekt precis vid julmarknaden. Sevicen var jättebra och vi fick bland annat hjälp att beställa bad. Sängarna var dock extremt hårda. Frågade om täcke att ligga på som bäddmadrass och detta hjälpte lite.

The location is great (100E airport bus is within walking distance!). The staff is friendly. The room has everything needed. Will stay at this hotel again if I ever come back to Budapest).
Pailing, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay for GP week

Great location and good value for money. A little noisy in the evenings and mornings but I would expect that for the central location. The shower could do with a curtain or screen as it was difficult to shower standing up without soaking the whole bathroom! Nice big room and lovely views of the church.
7-night trip

4/10 Fair

Excellent Location, Fundamentally Flawed Experienc

The hotel's only true asset is its excellent location, but sadly, that's where the positives end. As a digital nomad, I'm very comfortable with digital check-ins. However, the system here is a perfect example of what goes wrong with zero flexibility or human support. We arrived 30 minutes early and there was no way to store our luggage or even get an update on our room. We were left completely on our own. ​The biggest issue was the complete lack of hot water during our stay. When we contacted support, they blamed an "external problem" and offered no solution. This meant no showers before a long travel day. The room itself was small and dark, with a window facing an internal courtyard that provided no natural light or ventilation, forcing constant use of the air conditioning. On top of that, the cleanliness was subpar, with visible stains on the headboard. ​Finally, be warned that breakfast service doesn't start until 9:00 AM, which is highly inconvenient for anyone with an early schedule. ​While the location is a major draw, the hotel fails on the absolute basics: functional amenities, guest support, and cleanliness. I cannot recommend this hotel and suggest looking elsewhere.

Nice, clean and tidy The only drawback could be the noise at night as it is located right at the busy plaza in front of the famous Basilica

Lovely apartment on St. Stephen’s Square.

Lovely apartment on St. Stephen’s plaza. Hear the bells ring. Clean and comfortable. Great staff. Lots of good restaurants and easy to see all the sights. Great value.
Penelope, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Easy to walk to many areas. Close to metro. A little bit hard to find as it’s basically a door with a sign above. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved having a kitchenette with grocery stores nearby.

LOVED this property! Communication was great! They emailed several days in advance explaining the procedures of entering the building if coming after hours. The staff was friendly. The room was huge! It was within walking distance of most of the main sites!
