Great place

Great place. Never thought of considering a hostel as a place for the 2 of us but this place had private rooms with private bathroom with all the facilities and for what we needed it was great. It classes itself as both a hotel and hostel so is a bit unique in that sense. We booked this hotel whilst we were in Budapest as the place we had booked before we came was awful and we only managed 1 night there. We then stayed here for the remaining 3 nights and it definitely saved the holiday. Really good hotel, good facilities, good location and good price. We would definitely stay here again or at another if they open more across Europe.
Danny, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and cosy room.

The room is cosy and warm with elevator is the best part! The only problem might be have a loving slamming door neighbor(s) Bathroom is the best place, the heat able to keep the showroom dry so you wont feel nasty. Front desk is 24h and very helpful. The public kitchen utility quite complete although we only use the refrigerator and water machine. Highly recommended! Will choose if come back.

I said the water drain in the family shower room wasn't working properly, but it wasn't resolved.
DONGSEOB, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for a solo budget trip!!

This place is a perfect place if you are looking for something convenient, clean, safe, and extremely affordable. The front staff is friendly and professional. The lobby is super clean and has lots of sun from the roof window. I was here in late November, and there was no one using the bathroom/shower in the early morning. This place is located on top of a subway line; one stop from the major airport shuttle bus stop. There is a supermarket right next door. I stayed for three nights under 50 euros. You can’t find anything better than this at this price.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.

Väldigt smutsigt på rummen och toaletterna. Det funkar för en kort vistelse.
Admirana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The kitchen area was poor. 2 microwaves, 1 kettle and a air fryer. Difficult to cook yourself a meal. Would be nice if there was a quiet area to watch tv. Beds super comfortable. Large lockers. Dorm areas verybquiet. Would be nice if beds had privacy curtains. Easy check in. Located close to public transport
