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.

The staff and service at this property were wonderful. They were warm and welcoming and eager to help. The location was amazing with a beautiful view of St Stephen’s out the window. However, the bathroom was a very difficult situation. The drain in the shower ran extremely slowly - even with the water just trickling out, the shower drain couldn’t keep up. My daughters and I took extremely short showers so the water wouldn’t pool, and even still we couldn’t run enough water to wash our hair. There was also a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor that had a broken cover - so essentially there was a treacherous hole in the middle of the floor. But the worst issue by far was a terrible odor that was present in the bathroom. It was sometimes very strong and sometimes almost undetectable, but it made for a very unpleasant bathroom experience. Overall, other than the bathroom issues, we would have been extremely happy as everything else was great!

Perfect location
We loved the location of this hotel. The room was clean, modern and overlooked the st Stephen basilica. We paid a little extra to face the cathedral, which made it special. There were shops & multiple restaurants nearby and a lively night life that quieted down by 11pm so was never a problem. 2 things were off putting with this hotel/our room. 1) Once you find the hotel, you realize that the rooms all seem to open to the lobby in an apartment that was converted to a hotel. The receptionist/reception area was about 3-4 meters from our room door, so our room didn’t feel particularly private. And since there was a large table about 1.5 meters from our room door, at anytime of the day or night random guests could be sitting there. On the other hand, maybe that means the rooms have more direct supervision. 2) Since the hotel is just above the ground floor, when the blinds on the room windows were open, it felt like people could see in, so we felt that we had to keep the blinds shut at night which defeats the purpose of having a view. I wish the blinds could have covered the bottom part of the window to block people in the square below but still allow a view of the cathedral. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but I would try a more traditional hotel next time given the many options.

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.

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!

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.

Great Location - NOT so Great Hotel
My friend and I had arrived within the hours that there was supposed to be a person at the reception desk (about 9:30 am). However, there was no one there and we were left waiting outside in the hot and dark hallway for over 30 minutes as we had no way in. Finally, someone arrived and we were able to leave our bags until check in time later in the day. Upon check in, we quickly realized that the door to the bathroom in the room would get stuck if closed fully. It did not really matter, because the door was totally transparent! No privacy at all - very strange! Not to mention that the shower door had a crack and would flood the entire bathroom with almost an inch of water each time someone showered. The only saving grace of this hotel is that the location is superb. It is in walking distance from many restaurants, public transportation stops, and beautiful Budapest sights. Although the location was wonderful, I would not recommend this hotel for any travelers.
