Great location, very convenient and walkable. Good if you just want a place to sleep. Getting there is a bit complicated, especially after hours. Rooms are nothing fancy, and not the cleanest. Dark hallways. Bed and linen/pillows weren’t the comfiest.

Location amazing.

Location is absolutely fantastic. Centrally located in a lovely location. I had the basic room with no view of the basilica but I was out the whole time so not important. I’m sure the rooms with views would be stunning. Clean rooms freshly decorated. Lovely girl on reception recommend a local restaurant to me which was amazing. Thank you and see you next time I’m in Budapest.

Great stay for GP week

Great location and good value for money. A little noisy in the evenings and mornings but I would expect that for the central location. The shower could do with a curtain or screen as it was difficult to shower standing up without soaking the whole bathroom! Nice big room and lovely views of the church.

Great location. Easy to walk to many areas. Close to metro. A little bit hard to find as it’s basically a door with a sign above. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved having a kitchenette with grocery stores nearby.

Great Location

Went to Budapest to visit the Christmas Markets. The location of the Hotel was just perfect. Right outside one of the main Markets, 5 minutes walk from the Airport Bus Stop. Room was comfy and clean. Would recommend as a base to explore the City. Right outside St Stephen's Basilica which is also the starting point for the Hop on Hop off Bus Tours.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of Budapest city center. Karin and her colleague are the best hotel staff I‘ve ever met - ultrafriendly, helpful, and genuine people. Location is literally in front of the basilica and plaza, walking distance to everything. Value for money is excellent. Highly recommended!

Awesome location

Great location! Literally right in the plaza by the basilica. It is a bit odd to find and they didn’t really give instructions now to get into the building in order to check in. So it was a bit weird at first when I got into the building and didn’t see a lobby. But overall great place. Would recommend.

Lovey Location. Great Staff. Great room. Clean, nice, spacious. And friendly People. I love this place. I WOULD STAY again and again if I ever go back TO BUDAPEST. The people at the reception helped us to store our things and also helped to carry them into the room. Great manners. I give this place 100 points for sure. Price is good too. Please stay like that.

This is not a typical hotel property. Location is excellent as long as you are okay with not having 24/7 concierge. Depending on the floor you get it could get loud at night. We had our own noise cancelling machine so we were okay. The rooms facing basilica get a lot of light. The rooms itself are very clean and modern looking.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. The room was cute and comfortable, it may not be your typical hotel with a 24 hour concierge but the instruction in getting in and out of the building is pretty easy in case you get back late at night. Kari and the rest of the staff are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The location is fantastic as it is close to almost everything! Our airport shuttle service with Zoltan is superb. The bathroom leaks during shower which I guess is the only issue we had. Overall, it was a great stay and will definitely book this hotel when we visit again. Koszonom!

Awesome price for great location.

It is centrally located and room was very clean. The only issue I had was you will hear other guests from neighboring room. It is inconvenient if guest is loud. Also, the smell from the first floor as you enter the building is unpleasant. Other than that, the room is very modern and clean. The receptionist at the front desk during business hours was very friendly. Would definitely stay again for price and location. It is a short distance to tram station and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
