The only negative note was the fact that there were too many people in the restaurant for breakfast. The breakfast was great but because of the unmannered crowd it became a negative experience.

The hotel is located in a byroad in the former jewish district of Pest. I requested a quiet room facing the inner courtyard. While I was able to hear some music from the lobby in the evening it was absolutely quiet until the next morning. The bed was rather hard but I could sleep well. The room was small but... More

Just stayed for one night when last on business in Budapest. Central location, arrived late but service very efficient and prompt room service. The bed was comfortable, the room was very quiet and the decoration (moroccan/oriental?) was stylish. Easy temperature control too. No time to make use of all the facilities but worth adding that the breakfast, as noted by... More

+ Big, nice and clean hotel, with excellent breakfast, comfy bed and good position. Helpful staff. Reasonable price. - The room is a little small. Parquet floor, no slippers. The elevator worked only with the room card inserted. Parking a little expensive, but this is Budapest. Got a room facing the inside courtyard made of 4 tall empty walls...

Dear Guest, Thank you for being our guest. I’m sorry to hear that you had a few negative experiences as well. It is very difficult to meet all the expectations – some people find the rooms suitably large while others find them a bit small. When you visit us again please let us know in advance what kind of room... More

Thi slook slike a boutique hotel-if larger-gets tour groups. Ha sindoor and outdoor pools. As others have said, the buffet breakfast is much more lavish than it needs to be---great breads, fresh beggies, fresh fruit, nespresso machines for all permutations of coffee, lovely seating. Efficient. A little stingy with little soaps. If money is no object, stay at the beautiful... More

What an extremely pleasant place to stay. Our impressions were good straight from the off. We arrived mid-evening and lo and behold a coach full of guests were waiting in the foyer to check in. Not our day and a bit of a wait so we thought, but we were surprisingly wrong. We received a kindly nod and it was... More

Our selection of this hotel as a useful base for exploring Budapest was a wise one. Modern, clean with helpful cheerful staff. Corridors a little narrow but public places airy and spacious.

My Mom and I were somewhat disappointed with our choice of hotel in Budapest; I really don't get all the glowing reviews....maybe we had a lousy room because despite researching previous reviews, I think we didn’t make the best pick. The location was pretty good (only 10 minute walk from hop on/hop off tour) but if I went back again,... More

Dear Guest, I was sorry to read that our hotel did not meet yur glowing expectations. Since our hotel is in the downtown in a silent side street and has 4 stars only it is not reasonable to compare it with the 5 star hotels on the Danube. Slippers, bathrobes and even kettles are not standard amenities in the standard... More

Stayed here last weekend in a group of 8, could not fault it whatsoever. Firstly, fast and friendly airport pick-up from the concierge team was excellent and great value. As soon as you arrive in the door the concierge staff are wrestling your baggage from your hands to help, for a speedy and efficient check in. All 4 of our... More
