For the first and last time I booked a hotel without reading the reviews first. The booking site I used described the hotel as a well run, quiet, well located hotell. It is not.
The location is off, very off, we had a car which took us to the city center in 25minutes... This thanks to it's "central location" just next to the highway. Trafficnoise was terrible, on the upside it was constantly cars/motorcycles travelling outside the windows, which gave it an even loud background noise. However after 1 a.m. traffic was not so intense, only something passing by every 20-30 seconds which made it even worse since you were only wondering when the next car would pass.
In the small windows of calmness you could then hear all the dogs barking. Except from facing the highway, the hotell also faced the backside of a shopingmall. The backside of this shoppingmall was a waste dump attracting all the neighborhoods dogs in the night.
When I, due to exhaustion, managed to fall into some sort of slumber I was soon woken up by the policecars and ambulances passing by with the sirens on. And, as if that was not enough, the cockroach passing over my pillow made me stay awake for the rest of the night.
Just "for fun" we decided to have a look at the breakfast. By the look of it they don't expect people to eat there at all. We decided to have a cup of coffe, but realised our misstake and left.
The problem with this place is not the location (you can always put in soundsilencing windows). The problem is that the owner(s) does not even try to make it a good stay. For instance, wherever you go in Hungary you're greated by a "Jo napot kivanok". In this place not. If there were some cleaning, it was really badly done. Broken furniture, naked light bulbs, the 70's carpets etc. all add to the handbook of how to not run a Hotell.
The only positive thing I can think of was that it had a free wifi, that made it possible for us to book another hotell at 2.30 a.m. We had paid for two nights in advance, stayed one. Never coming back. If this was the only available hotell in all of Budapest you're probably better off sleeping on a bench in a park.
