Nice location, but disappointing breakfast.
Pros:

We spend two nights, because we visited Budapest zoo and other things in the city. Therefore the location was excellent.

Cons:

However the breakfast was disappointing because when we arrived, we could hardly find anything on the buffet. They didn't refill it, until we stayed which was close to the closing time, we arrived 45mins before that approx. There is no lunch or dinner on site, but online ordering works, as the restaurants around were all fully booked.

Pros:

Lo staff è stato gentile, le informazioni sono state corrette, abbiamo potuto lasciare i nostri bagagli sia il mattina presto dell'arrivo, sia il giorno del check out.

Cons:

la porta della doccia non si chiudeva bene, quindi l'acqua usciva sul pavimento.
Il letto matrimoniale è appoggiato al muro, quindi uno dei due fatica a scendere dal letto, inoltre non è presente neanche un comodino. La colazione era abbastanza completa, ma le brioche non erano fresche

Very practical but needs some small improvements
Pros:

Luggage accepted before check-in. Ideally located for Keleti Railway Station, approx. 10-minute walk through residential streets. Some supermarkets nearby. Open wardrobe in room is practical. Nice and warm downstairs area. Bathroom is fine, the extractor fan does not stay on forever. There is always staff at reception and they are helpful.

Cons:

Window did not block out street noise. The single room is tiny, fine for me but may be a problem for those travelling with a large suitcase. The lighting needs updating: there is overhead strip lighting and a table lamp with an old incandescent bulb that was getting hot very quickly. The coffee machine at breakfast was a disappointment: the cappuccino was sweet, the black americano had a burnt coffee taste. The scrambled eggs were oversalted. The fruit bowl had a pile of fruit slices rather than whole pieces, which seems unhygienic to me.
