Krásný menší hotel, příjemný personál, čisté a pohodlné pokoje.
Pros:

Celé ubytování bylo krásné, moderní se starožitnými prvky, hezký design i drobné ozdoby. Snídaně probíhala formou bufetu, k dispozici byla káva, čaj, džusy, pečivo, sýry, vajíčka, salámy, párky, marmelády. Nebylo to nic velkého, ale naprosto to postačilo. Vše bylo pravidelně doplňováno.
Při příjezdu nás pán na recepci mile uvítal a poradil s parkováním. V hotelu je velký klid, slyšeli jsme jen zpívat ptáky. Jen upozorňuji, že hotel je na kopci, tudíž se k různým památkám dostanete lépe (rybářská bašta, hrad), ale pokud se budete chtít dostat na druhou stranu břehu, tak si pak budete muset vyjít kopec zpátky.

Cons:

Hotel je už v zóně hradu/rybářské bašty, kam auta můžou jen s povolenkou, což jsme nevěděli, naštěstí jsme našli místo před hradbami a neměli jsme to k autu daleko. Pán na recepci nás ujistil, že o víkendu se parkování neplatí.
V koupelně nefungovala v umyvadle teplá voda. Jinak bylo vše v naprosté pořádku a nijak nás to neomezilo.

Très bel hôtel à l'emplacement idéal pour un super séjour
Pros:

L'hôtel est très beau, la chambre était très confortable, au calme dans un quartier magnifique. Localisation idéale pour visiter Budapest, avec un bus depuis/vers le centre toutes les dix minutes.

Cons:

Pas de rideau dans notre chambre, un coup d'aspirateur sur les tapis ne ferait pas de mal.

Pros:

Me encantó todo. En verdad es tal como se ven en las fotografías y las habitaciones sob muy amplias, el primer día me tocó alojar en una habitación del primer piso cerca de recepción, y en verdad me enamoré de su decoración y distribución de los espacios.
Siguiente día cambié de habitación, ya que no sabía si me quedaba o no. La nueva habitación también cumplió todas las expectativas.
No es tan grande, pero sus habitaciones sí. Tiene una decoración con mucho estilo. El comedor es pequeño y el desayuno está bien, cumple su objetivo. No es algo abundante, pero que las porciones están bien.
Espero volver pronto. Hicieron de mi primera vez en Budapest una experiencia inolvidable.
Muchas Gracias.

Pros:

Πολύ όμορφο και γραφικό δωμάτιο, ευρύχωρο, καθαρό, ζεστό, με άνετο στρώμα και ζεστό νερό 24/7. Η τοποθεσία εξαιρετική για όποιον θέλει ηρεμία καθώς είναι μέσα στο castle district, οπότε όλα τα αξιοθέατα της Βούδας είναι κυριολεκτικά δίπλα σου! 1 λεπτό από την στάση του λεωφορείου. Το πρωινό χωρίς πολλές επιλογές, αλλά ο,τι υπήρχε ήταν πεντανοστιμο.

Good cool place
Pros:

Really clean, beautiful looking place. Very welcoming staff.

Cons:

It was a bit cold, the old one layer glass windows were a bit too thin maybe for February. The breakfast was maybe too bland and not so diverse. But I apreciated the cook was around when someone asked for more when the plates were emptied.
