We absolutely loved this hotel! The location was perfect, and the room was large, and comfortable. The staff was really helpful, and friendly, and I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was that the hotel has a set heating system, set at 24, and we had to keep the windows open, which made it noisy. So bring earplugs, if you like it cool in your room!

A great place to stay, very clean, helpful staff, very good location with lots of places to eat and drink nearby, But it is not a full service hotel, no restaurant or room service, gym, etc, if that's what you are looking for, we weren't and this was perfect for us.

This hotel is perfect for guests who do not use a spa/gym or need a pool or jacuzzi. Excellent rooms, good breakfast service downstairs, and only one person at the front desk. Just good rooms, a front desk, breakfast and nothing more, and all at a good price.

Hotel staff lovely and helpful especially Dora . The room was nice and airy and very clean. Breakfast was good . Location was brilliant as ideal for the bus from the airport and a tram stop outside. The hotel was a few hundred metres from the Danube and Vaci street on the side of the hotel had loads of places to eat. Next door had a unique bar called ‘for sale’

It is a beautiful hotel with the perfect location. It’s right near the bridge and in front of the market. And behind you is the mains streets leading to vatsi utsa. The hotel is clean and smells great. And the staff are very friendly.

We absolutely loved the room and the location was perfect. Even the AC was wonderful. The only thing that we found was that the drapes didn’t completely cover the windows on the sides. Still, because we were up and out early with site seeing it was no biggie.

Great location. The room was very nice and new but the bed mattress was very firm and we woke up with back pains everyday. It would have been nice if there was washing machines on site.

Verified review

4/10 Fair

The room I was assigned was spacious and stylishly designed and decorated; however, ir was not very clean. The floor looked like it had not been swept, let alone mopped. There were also little insects (larger than ants) crawling across the floors. I paid 18 euros for what was described as an all you can eat breakfast, but it was disappointing. The options were limited and definitely not worth 18 euros. The hotel.is in a great location, and from a purely aesthetic perspective (modern furnishings and decor), it checks the boxes. But from a cleanliness perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement.
