The room I stayed in was beautiful and clean with a very updated interior and many options for lighting throughout the room for different purposes throughout the day and night. I also don't remember hearing any noise from adjacent rooms or the hallway during my entire two week stay, which was lovely. The hotel is very conveniently located on bus lines and across the street from a rental bike station, as well as just a few blocks from the metro, which was all very convenient for getting around. It felt very safe as well. If I'm ever in Budapest again, I would definitely stay here again!

AC did not work properly, I had an allergic reaction & couldn't sleep because it was too hot. Uncomfortable bathroom, every time we took a shower the floor was flooded. The shower floor was very slippery we requested a rubber rug for showers several times but never received it; my husband slipped & hurt his hand. Because of the flooding, we had to change rooms. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.

Hotel was clean, restaurant good, services and stuff very attentive and pleasant. Location is convenient, metro station within walking distance. Parking was easy. Not much around the hotel, but we did not expect it. Pool was really nice, with some classes included as well. Biggest issue was the lack of air-conditioning, despite of what the website says. Windows do open, but no net on the windows. Room was facing east, so impossible to open windows during the heatwave.
