The property is nestled in a quiet part of town, in amongst residential blocks, and by 11pm was very quiet. There is an odd arrangement for late Checkin where the night staff at the adjacent property, which is owned by the same people, do that part...and their system booked me into a room that had not been cleaned yet or may have even been occupied with the owner out. This was quickly resolved though, I've just personally never experienced that. The rooms are nothing special. Basic amenities, small rooms with small but clean bathrooms and comfortable enough beds. The interior is meant for lots of traffic and is dated but functional and clean. If you need an inexpensive safe place to stay the night or two, this is a place. If you are looking for something for a multi day stay and a place to unwind between your work or tourist activities, I would suggest something different.

Reasonable price, conveniently located in the center of town. Relatively simple but clean accommodations. If you need to crash for a night or two and go abiut your vscation or business during the day, and then come back to sleep this is a perfect place that wont break the bank. Close to all main attraxtion and the Danube cruises. Staff were nice. They did give me initially an unmade room! The mistske was quickly corrected. Then the new key did nkt work. I got two instead, also on the spot. I was pressed for time and these delays werw annoying but they were dealt with properly by the staff. Their email communication is a bit lacking on terms of clarity but nothing to cry about. The hotel is on a narrow street and during my two days there the sodewalks were additionally littered by trash and old furniture. Maybe that was some old stuff give away day, I don't know but they had several piles on our street. Also the air control in the room had its dial markings erased so you could not tell if you're turning the temperature up or down. The conclusion is: Definitely a recommended place to stay in the heart of Budapest for a good price and to sleep on comfy beds in a quiet and clean room.

The room was very nice and clean. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. The area seems safe, but is older with narrow streets and sidewalks. The only problem I encountered was that the elevators only have a capacity of 5 people, and one of the two was broken ( they appeared to be working on it, though). In the morning, I took the steps down because every time the elevator reached me on the third floor, it was filled to capacity. Was not a problem other times of the day, though.

This was a no thrills kind of place, fine for sleeping in but otherwise not overly homey. Beds were pretty comfortable, shower could have been better. Only one lift of the two was working during our stay. For the price, it was fine.

The room was ok. The shelves in the room were a little dusty. The shower leaked all over the floor. The shower was great, lots of pressure and nice and hot. Overall the standard of the room was good for the price paid. I would stay again.

Breakfast was ok. Wifi doesnt work keeps disconnecting requires an upgrade. Room service should be done daily and items replenished not upon request. Only 1 elevator works the other elevator doesnt work not sure how long its been not working. Poeple have to wait for a while and only 5 poeple can go at a time. The room is plain no kettle to boil water to make a cup of coffee or tea in the evening which is normally available at all hotels.
