This hotel was incredibly beautiful and provided a very comfortable stay. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was conveniently located in the heart of all the major attractions, making everything within walking distance. There were also many restaurants nearby if we needed a quick snack or drink, which were all just a short walk away from the hotel. I highly recommend this place; it has everything you need for a great vacation. Plus, there’s a rooftop restaurant with great views and drinks.

Lovely hotel, a good breakfast and friendly staff. Our room was massive (studio) and the bathroom and bedding was spotless. My only complaint would be the carpet in our room needed replacing, it was worn and stained.

Great location!

Great location! The best with the hotel is the location! Nice modern rooms! Very good breakfast. They have nice terrace with the view but was closed during our 3 days stay, very unfortunate since we booked the hotel for the location and the terrace. There was no info about this during my booking:( I complained to the reception but with no luck or compensation

Really enjoyed my stay. The rooms were confortable, the breakfast was great. The spa area was nice, but the swiming pool was closed for renovation. The bar at the rooftop had a nice view. The region around is walkable with many options

It’s said that its rooftop bar is the tallest in Budapest but I didn’t have a chance to try it. It’s walkable to quite a few famous places. The breakfast is nothing special which you could expect from the European hotel but is above average.

There was a problem with our Expedia booking. The hotel did not receive it. Therefore it took a long time to book in but the hotel upgraded our room. The room we were given was lovely. The tea and coffee was not refilled in the room. When we asked at reception they did give us more coffee pods and teabags. Everything we saw was smart and well maintained The hotel is in a very nice central location, close to attractions but quiet. There are a couple of good restaurants in the street and local shops very close. The breakfast was very good with a wide variety to choose from.
