The hotel was really lovely and the staff were fantastic! Location was really good, everything easy to get to. The only thing that I didn’t like was that check in at 3pm is late when you have a very early flight and check out was early at 11 am when we didn’t fly until 10 pm. There was a bathroom to freshen up but a place to shower would have been really appreciated as it was an incredibly hot day with nowhere to shower before heading to the airport but this is genuinely the only thing I would have changed. We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you to all the staff that went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

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.

Beautiful little hotel and we loved our stay. The stay is absolutely wonderful, friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough great things about them. We loved our room. It was spacious and beautiful. The shower and beds were great. The location is terrific (Pest side but next to the bridge to Buda). The market is across the street and the main walking and shopping area is next to it. Incredible location. The only criticism was the ac and the heat as you get to floor 1. Once you get from the main level the heat and humidity in the building was high. We were however there during a heat wave so it makes sense. The ac in the room isn’t really ac. It was fine and nothing to complain about but if you want an ice cold room, I don’t know if that could be possible. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again.

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.

Lovely newly refurbished hotel. We booked a junior suite with breakfast. Our room (110) was situated on a corner with windows overlooking the Central Market Hall on one side and views over the square to Liberty Bridge from the other. The decor is beautiful, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and well appointed. My only negative about the room is there are no drawers, cupboards etc, so when you unpack everything is on display. It’s just a personal preference for me as I like the room to look tidy. Breakfast is on level -1 and there is lots of choice of continental options and a few hot dishes, the scrambled eggs were especially good. The room was never very busy when we ate, usually around 9am. We felt the hotel was in an excellent location with a number of restaurants in very short walking distance. We had a late flight home and the hotel was able to store our luggage until late afternoon for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
