My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast room was fantastic, with a comfortable bed and a nice Kitchenette that had a fridge and stove. However, I did have a sleepless night due to insects, but the service staff was quick to address the issue, which was greatly appreciated.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were wonderful, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a public courtyard, providing a unique view but making it a bit noisy due to its location on a lively party street. However, the room was a bit far from the router, causing some connectivity issues. The service was top-notch, with staff being very friendly and quick to resolve any issues. The location was perfect for exploring Budapest, making it easy to reach main attractions and Christmas Markets. Unfortunately, the dining experience was a total nightmare, being the only downside of my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Budapest, near the ruin bars and main sightseeing points. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the large windows facing a public courtyard could be a bit odd with people walking by. The friendly service and convenient location outweighed the slightly worn-down aspects of the property.
