Clean small room in an excellent location.
Getting in when the 'door open' app was not working was an ordeal as it took a while to get someone on the phone.
Checkin was 3pm, not 2 pm as mentioned on the site.

Nice and very central location. Just be aware that you are neighbours to the Basilica and can hear the bells. But it's at the same time a lovely view, if you select the Basilica-view rooms and close to public transport, shops, the chain bridge etc.
The cleaning could use a little improvements, but overall it's fine.
Note that if you order included breakfast, it's in a cafe about 10 minutes walk away. For us it was fine, but good to know.
Use the hotel's Watchapp-service if any questions. They answer really fast. Check-in is fully digital - but we got help by Watchapp.
We got our room before 12am even check-in time only is at 2pm, so that was really nice.

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.

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.

Great location. Easy to walk to many areas. Close to metro. A little bit hard to find as it’s basically a door with a sign above. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved having a kitchenette with grocery stores nearby.

LOVED this property! Communication was great! They emailed several days in advance explaining the procedures of entering the building if coming after hours. The staff was friendly. The room was huge! It was within walking distance of most of the main sites!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic location, quite a basic room, but good amenities, can’t really complain for location and price. Only thing to be wary is that the breakfast was a 10 minute walk away, in the opposite direction to most attractions. Host was nice and available at check in to support with keyless system. Apartment is located in a very dingy building but once you are in the room it is nice enough.
