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.

The cheapest rooms are in a separate building and their windows open onto a covered central courtyard, so you can’t open the window for fresh air and you end up feeling closed in. My fridge was also not working properly. The rooms are reasonably new and clean though. The thing that really annoyed me was just how much worse their gym is than the picture management has published on the major sites. I literally chose the hotel because of the gym, and it seems like that picture is from 15+ years ago. For cardio there’s only an old and maybe broken down stairmaster, there are only mediocre free weights, there are no mats for stretching. I guess the hotel lives up to its name lol.

The rooms in the inner hallway are very hot with no external window and an AC unit that does not give cold air. We raised this with the hotel and we was luckily moved to another room with an external window. However this was frustrating having repack all our belongings. There was no milk provided with the coffee facilities which meant you had to go to the restaurant and ask for milk each time. Staff were friendly and breakfast was nice. Great location.

No outside window in the room, air conditioning was on but no cold air, heating was always on, room way to hot and my wife barely slept for 4 nights. Should have been told there is no window to the outside, we could have let in some cool and fresh air! breakfast was good. everything shut at 10pm, we are on holiday would like a drink when we get back from dinner! Everything very clean, room also, fresh towels, bit knocked about but ok, apart from Heat & Window. Not a 4 star, tries to look like one but fails in delivery and communication. Staff friendly! That said its a good priced 3 star (if informed about outside windows) and a great location.

Over rated

Doesn’t rate a 4 star. 3 if lucky. Very tired hotel, needs rooms refurbishing. Stayed 4 nights October 25, standard double room. Threadbare carpets, bedside drawers not cleaned from previous occupants. Very dark bathroom – poor lighting general. Furniture generally chipped (including breakfast room). No kettle for hot water. WC seat skewed. Temperature control not working. Constant repetitive music played in corridors, right outside rooms. Public areas OK. On the good side, there was a safe in the room.

Great location, and room was very clean—but overall condition was a little tired. Upholstered chairs in breakfast room were literally shedding. Main complaint was that wake-up call, taxi ordered for 6:30 am, and promised breakfast box never materialized. Information was not transferred to am staff.

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.

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.

I mentioned about Expedia Gold Status and asked for room upgrade if its available but the staff said "No, your room is already not basic?" I guess they meant my room is good enough... The hotel was not full and was available for upgrade but would not honor Expedia upgrade request unless I pay for the upgrade.
