Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the city's party area and close to the city center. The rooms are not like the ones in the pictures, but they come with clean amenities. However, they are in a really poor condition. The service is great with helpful housekeeping and commercial services available. The price is a bit high, which might affect the value for money. The location is central, making it convenient for exploring the city's party scene. The dining options are served and include a homemade soup. The facilities are satisfactory, but there could be room for improvement in maintaining them.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had lovely balconies, but unfortunately, they were in poor condition, and the views onto Dohany utca were very noisy. The service was decent, but there were some issues with noise considering the location inside a nightclub. The hotel's location was convenient, being close to the city center and just opposite the big synagogue, but the noise from the nightclub was a drawback. While the dining experience was okay with some nice refreshments like iced and frozen coffee available, the facilities were lacking. Overall, it was an average stay with some positives and negatives to consider.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy with a lovely balcony to enjoy the view. The bed was super comfy, making my stay very pleasant. However, the room only had 5 beds, which was a bit limiting. The amenities were well-maintained and added to the comfort of the room.
The hotel is located in the vibrant center of the city's party zone, very close to the city center and offering great transportation options.

I had mixed feelings about this hotel. The room with a balcony was lovely but in really poor condition, and despite having 7 beds, the bed itself was very comfy. The service was decent, but there were some letdowns. The location was convenient, but not without its downsides. The dining experience left much to be desired. The facilities were okay, but nothing exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Budapest, very close to the city center with excellent transportation options. The rooms are a bit noisy due to the street views on Dohany utca, but they come with a balcony. However, the room conditions are quite poor. The service offered is decent with some paid shuttle services available. The dining options are limited to Spanish dishes only. The hotel boasts a central location but might not be the best choice for a quiet stay.
