Hotel is in a fabulous location, you just step out the door and are on the main shopping street. Can't be beat for location and price. But it is an old hotel and is in need of refurbishment. The rooms are basic and the beds quite uncomfortable.

The hotel is good, not good like other hotels next to Dune, but very good. Rooms are rather clean, location is good, and value for the money is excellent. There is not other hotels in such location for this money. It might be nice hotel for young couple to say, but not sure about business or family travelers.

The hotel is located centrally in Budapest and is in a good position for exploring the city. Overall the hotel was comfortable and reasonably priced, apart from the price of drinks in the bar which we found quite eye-watering. There are a number of fairly OK restaurants in the vicinity although Hungarian cuisine is quite basic, mainly meat and potatoes.

This is nice hotel, very conveniently located in Vaci Street, which is the main street in Budapest. Lots of nice restaurants and bars right around the corner. Rooms are big enough, with all necessary facilities. Nice varied breakfast. Very helpful staff. One disadvantage: if you have a room at the back of the hotel, the view is awful.

Right on Vaci Utca, the location doesn't get much more convenient. Hotel could arrange for local sightseeing. Could provide very nice restaurant recommendations and accurate directions on local maps (when we wanted to walk to some places). No complaints at all. However, there will be other (likely more expensive hotels) that will provide more creature comforts and luxury. We were... More
