The hotel may have a great location close to many restaurants, but unfortunately, the rooms felt cramped and the sauna was not up to standard. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, although there were some issues with requested services. The location, while convenient, had its drawbacks. The dining experience was subpar despite being in a good spot. Facilities overall were decent but had room for improvement.

The hotel rooms were a mixed experience with some being hot and stuffy with street noise while others were very comfortable and relaxing.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice and clean with all the necessary amenities, but unfortunately, our room overlooked a noisy courtyard, making it hot and stuffy at times. The location was convenient for exploring the city center and enjoying nearby bars, but the noise from party-goers was a downside. The service was friendly and courteous overall, but there were some disappointments. The dining options were good with a variety of hot and buffet-style meals, though it could get crowded and lack choices towards the end. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel room was smaller than expected and could use a refresh, but it had plenty of electrical points for charging which was convenient. They allowed us early check-in without any extra charge, a highly appreciated gesture. The service was a mixed bag as the staff seemed nice overall, although we found opened water in the minibar, and there were issues with cleaning times. The location is stunning, especially with the Christmas tree in December, but it requires a bit of a walk or taxi ride to reach tourist spots. The dining experience lacked gluten-free options, but it was close to the fascinating Ruin Bars. Overall, the hotel offers value for money with varied dining choices near famous Budapest landmarks.
