Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Resepsiyondaki insanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımcıydı. Ama kahvaltı kısmında çalışan insanlar bize kötü davrandı. Anlamadığımız için kendi dillerinde bağıra bağıra bir şeyler söylediler çok kabalardı. Odalar temiz ve güzeldi.

I ended up with a family room. Plenty of room for a family with a private bathroom. Place was clean and tidy. Right in the centre of Budapest and close to all sights. Supermarkets are close by too, would definitely stay here again.

Hotel molto piacevole in centro, vicino a tutti i mezzi pubblici. Bellissimo il restauro dell'edificio originale combinato con lo stile moderno. Camera ben organizzata, ben riscaldata, letto comodo, ottima la pulizia. Zona comune molto bella. Colazione ottima sia dolce che salato: colazione sia inglese, che continentale e anche francese. Staff sempre carino. Grazie a tutti.
