A brilliant hotel with excellent staff members who helped us feel welcome and offered services to us such as booking airport transfer. Spacious clean room with great AC and facilities.
Hotel was in a quiet part of Budapest, air con in the room was a blessing. Staff were friendly room was a little small but clean. Room had fridge which was great in scorching weather.
Great location, walking distance to the Center, the river and with many bars and resturants located in the area. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The room snd bathroom was very clean and was cleaned thorough daily. I can warmly recommend this small and cosy hotell.
We recommend this hotel because they were providing a great service. If I remember correctly, we had the amazing opportunity to be greeted by Aron which made the entire stay priceless.
The staff at this hotel are very helpful and friendly, especially Sophie, who's absolutely lovely. It's in a quiet, safe neighbourhood just a 5 or 10 min from a shopping centre and metro station. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.
Good price, clean room, friendly staff who spoke english which was helpful.
It's in a nice, safe area with public transport nearby. Never felt unsafe walking around the area afterdark.
This hostel was just off the centre of Budapest, but there were still plenty of little cafes and bars, it was just a 10-15 minute easy walk from Deak Ferenc, the centre transport area. It was lovely and clean and rooms are set around a little courtyard. Staff were very helpful and our room had great facilities including air conditioning, a safe and a kettle for hot tea and coffee. Would definitely stay here again.
