“Lovely few days”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

Spent 3 days staying at this hotel end of Nov 2012 with 2 of my friends. The hotel is in good walking distance to the centre - trams come every few minutes to take you further into the centre or across the river. There are very poor parts, but we didn't realise that only a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction (where xmas market is) is the posh bit with some lovely shops and a ice bar. Xmas market was lovely too, gets you in a christmassy mood, so do go there around nov/dec time.
Ice bar was only 3euros which incl 2 drinks. The hotel is right by the national museum about a 2 minute walk. Rooms were spacious and good for the money you pay...bath, is a jacuzzi bath..beds are comfy. Don't be expecting wild nights at this hotel as we found, its a long way from any kind of nightlife - you ask for a club and it will be a strip club. Food is so cheap here. Receptionist was lovely and kind, helped us girls out a lot. Would return in summer to see what it is like then!

“recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

This is a very nice B&B i definetely suggest to budget travellers who choose Budapest for a short brake. The location is good, close to main metro or tram stations, you can even walk (if it is not too cold to do so!).

The Building is interesting, the entrance is on the first floor. I somehow like this kind of creepy hotels which you cannot find directly from the door!

As you enter, there is the only facility of the hotel, the front-desk/Bar/Lobby, where are working a few guys, always at our disposition. They give usefull information about the city and they are very welcoming! Good Job!

The rooms are smartly furnished, there is even mini bar. I felt a bit awkward with the high ceiling but this is a matter of architecture. The room was warm enough in those cold days of December, you could have an amazing shower.

Only negative aspects that the management should reconsider:
-you need to provide some shower amenities - not all guests have their own!
-you need to fix the TV programme as providing some international or at least english-speaking channels!

“Best value for less money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

I've stayed in many hotels and I can say that I never received such value for less money. It was much more than I expected from 3 stars and so low price. Hotel is newly renovated, it is perfectly clean, room is cute and cozy, so as the rest of hotel. Receptionist is very kind and helpful and he speaks English pretty good. Of course, you can't expect perfection for such low price, and the only minus is that the bed is not very comfortable, for my taste it is too soft and I didn't like the pillow, but after all it is not that important. I've stayed in expensive hotels with terrible mattress and pillows, and paid 5 times this price.
Location is great, just 15 minutes walk to town center, and there are some nice bars and restaurants nearby. Also, if you are traveling by car, you can find parking spot in front (street is not that busy). For us it was good because we stayed for one night, and we arrived around 6 p.m. (parking is free from 8 pm to 8 am) so we payed just first two hours, and we were lucky to find a spot just in front of hotel doors. If you're staying longer, there is parking garage nearby.

All together, I warmly recommend. Much more than you expect for 26 € per night.
