Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My partner and I were impressed by the cleanness of the room and the friendly nature of the staff. Additionally, it was very easy to get to and from the centre of Budapest from the hotel as there is a bus stop right outside. The only critique I can make is that some parts looked like they could use a little TLC, such as the windows and locks that seemed a little fragile. However, we were very happy with our stay!

The hotel located at a busy street. The traffic was terrible, and the noise was terrible. In addition, you will smell the not fully burnt oil out of the car engine. If you can stay with noise and very bad gas exhaustion, you can then consider it. Also the hotel is in the another side of main town. If you want to enjoy the main town, it is very inconvenient.
