No hot water and couldn’t get in!

au coeur de l’action, parfait pour la vie nocturne, moins si vous êtes à la recherche de tranquillité. Le seul bémol est le manque de stationnement, il faut utiliser ceux sous terrain qui reviennent à 60$CAN le 24h. Sinon, la localisation et la vue sont parfaites.

Excellent Location, Fundamentally Flawed Experienc

The hotel's only true asset is its excellent location, but sadly, that's where the positives end. As a digital nomad, I'm very comfortable with digital check-ins. However, the system here is a perfect example of what goes wrong with zero flexibility or human support. We arrived 30 minutes early and there was no way to store our luggage or even get an update on our room. We were left completely on our own. ​The biggest issue was the complete lack of hot water during our stay. When we contacted support, they blamed an "external problem" and offered no solution. This meant no showers before a long travel day. The room itself was small and dark, with a window facing an internal courtyard that provided no natural light or ventilation, forcing constant use of the air conditioning. On top of that, the cleanliness was subpar, with visible stains on the headboard. ​Finally, be warned that breakfast service doesn't start until 9:00 AM, which is highly inconvenient for anyone with an early schedule. ​While the location is a major draw, the hotel fails on the absolute basics: functional amenities, guest support, and cleanliness. I cannot recommend this hotel and suggest looking elsewhere.

I never received a single email from the hotel & I am guessing they have it wrong. The check in process was a nightmare. Claiming it’s a hotel is a stretch. It’s more like a bad Airbnb. They asked me to leave the money for the city tax in my room! I am willing to pay the tax, but not by just leaving the money unattended. The room was dirty & poorly maintained, paint was peeling off the wall. No idea where the breakfast was served. The stairs to the 2nd floor were very poorly lit. Wasn’t offered housekeeping until after my 4th night. This was the worst hotel experience of the past 20 years & certainly feel entitled to a partial refund.

Great location, very convenient and walkable. Good if you just want a place to sleep. Getting there is a bit complicated, especially after hours. Rooms are nothing fancy, and not the cleanest. Dark hallways. Bed and linen/pillows weren’t the comfiest.

Location amazing.

Location is absolutely fantastic. Centrally located in a lovely location. I had the basic room with no view of the basilica but I was out the whole time so not important. I’m sure the rooms with views would be stunning. Clean rooms freshly decorated. Lovely girl on reception recommend a local restaurant to me which was amazing. Thank you and see you next time I’m in Budapest.

The location was excellent for this property, but it is not quite the hotel you are expecting. The property is located beside St Stephen’s Church and is on top of all the major places to visit but the hotel is more like a concept, they are semi-modernised rooms inside a run down building where the lift (which is akin to something out of the shining) only holds 3 people and if you opt to walk up the stairs, at night it’s a little worrying as the lights don't automatically come on and you are walking in the dark. Reception is only open until 8pm and then is unmanned, there are no phones are in the room if needed. No extra pillows were given when asked for as they had none to give, but did however have extra blankets. It’s a little like a hostel, definitely not what I was expecting. Only provided one coffee each for one day in the room and the kettle was dangerous as didn’t switch off, but clean. Would not stay here again and should be no more than 2 stars.

First of all I would like to thank the girls at reception who were so patient in being greeted and thanked in my very bad Hungarian ❤️ and secondly all the staff who run the hotel: never have I seen a hotel so clean and, in its small way, so welcoming. I slept very comfortably and the water jet in the bathroom was very strong. The air conditioning set to 'turbo' gave me the coolness I needed and there was a water cooler in the lobby. In front of the basilica, 5 minutes from the Deák metro/bus/tram stops, a great location at an extremely reasonable price.

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.
