“Good, quite & small hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

When we first saw the location of this hotel we thought it was a bit far away from the centre of everything in Budapest, how wrong we were. The location is just right as you are on the edge of town with the Market Place just across the way, giving you a very nice stroll along one of the main streets full of shops to where the centre of town lies. The staff where were so helpful and always had a pleasant manners when you approach them with any queries, which helped make our stay lovely.The rooms are small but very clean and as most of our time was spent out and about this was more than adequate. We ate in the restaurant one evening and sampled typical Hungarian food which was lovely, although slightly cold but we then noticed that food is not served as hot in Hungary as we do in the UK. Breakfast was continental and more than enough to set you up for a days site seeing, plus being available from 6:30am to 10:00am was plenty of time for the late risers.

Room Tip: Only real issue was we had a room facing the main entrance road and the dustman seems to clear the b...

“Small but clean and cozy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Great location, small room, 20 sq mt, good breakfast with fresh fruits and salmon.
The front desk are very helpful in doing our tours and getting us taxi but wish they would smile to make you feel more at home.
Dinner was good also and reasonable price better than what we had at a Hungarian restaurant nearby.
Will stay at the same hotel again.

“Great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

This is definetely one of the best hotels I experienced so far. Everything was just excellent, the service, the breakfast and upstairs spa as well. The location is perfect and downstairs restaurant serves delicious hungarian dishes. TO LOVERS OF PIZZA: "just around the corner" of the hotel there is Italian restaurant run by italian where they traditional italian pizza. I know Hungary its not the place You go to eat pizza but it was a big plus when me & my boyfriend came back after long walking&sightseing and could grab something over there and even take out & bring it to our room still warm,as it's just 10 m away :) if You go to Budapest stay in ZARA!

“Good location, small rooms, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Ideal location for exploring the city. Right in front of the Corvinus university and Liberty Bridge and around the corner from the main shopping street.

The rooms are small and not very soundproof - you can hear the neighbour cough but at least no noise from the street.

Ok breakfast, no fitness but their sister-hotel has facilities although it's 15 min away.

Would I stay here again? If I need to access the city Center and on my own yes. But with wife and family I'd choose something bigger and less noisy

“Perfect place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Me and my partner stayed for 4 nights in this Great 4 star hotel,

when we arrived all we had to do was mention our name and check in took less then 5 mins, (check out took about the same, we arrived at around midnight and left at 4:30am)

We had the room next to the lift but it wasn't that noisy, rooms were large enough for all our bits and pieces.

Room was cleaned, sheets changed, towels changed more then twice a day I'm sure usually during breakfast. (being a student this was amazing)

The Free Breakfast was great plenty of choice for fussy English people with lots of fresh fruit, bread, cereals, bacon, egg, French pastries , cheese's and much, much more.

The staff were very helpful as it was the first time i had stayed in a non English speaking country on my own (I'm 22). they helped with booking taxi's directions, attractions etc and we always had their full attention, really couldn't ask for more from them.

Location was great, near to public transport, high streets, restaurants, local market just round the corner in a massive building, less then 2 min walk to the riverside with stunning views.

I would love to stay here again and if i was to visit Budapest again this would be the first place for me to stay.
