Categories

Cleanliness
8
Mixed mentions: several guests note rooms were clean and comfortable, though one review explicitly said the room was not clean and bathroom cleanliness/condition issues (shower residue, small/unclean bathroom) lowered the score slightly.
Service
8.1
Generally positive reception staff comments (‘welcoming’, ‘courteous’, ‘attentive’), though isolated service failures (parking issue poorly handled) lowered the score marginally.
Location
8.4
Repeatedly praised: excellent central position, close to Buda Castle, train/tram access and convenient for meetings and sightseeing.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms described as comfortable, spacious in some cases with good beds; some bathrooms are small and fittings could use upgrades, so overall solid but not perfect.
Amenities
7.6
Breakfast offerings and basic in-room amenities are present, but complaints about paid/problematic parking, missing conditioner/slippers and limited nearby restaurants reduce the score.
Value for Money
8.5
Multiple comments note the hotel is good value for its price and economical for short stays; parking fee seen as acceptable by some but the service handling reduced perceived value slightly.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Breakfast receives consistent positive feedback (‘very tasty’, ‘great breakfast’, good variety), though a few mentions note limited restaurant options nearby.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall pleasant stay for short business or leisure visits: comfortable, clean rooms and great location offset by occasional service/amenity shortcomings (parking, small bathrooms).

sehr zu empfehlen für einen geschäftlichen oder privaten Kurzaufenthalt von ein bis ein paar Tagen
Pros:

Das Hotel bietet für den Preis ein sauberes effizient eingerichtetes Zimmer, nicht gross, aber mit allem was es braucht. Lage Zentral, gute Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten im Haus, Trinkwasser a discretion. Sehr geeignet auch für alleinreisende Frauen aus meiner eigenen Erfahrung

Cons:

das einzige was mir fehlte war conditioner in der dusche

Expected a little more from a hotel of this standard.
Pros:

Good position near one of the main train stations nearby with a tram stop a few hundred metres from the front door. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom was small and the fittings need an upgrade. The shower was constantly dripping. Could not adjust room temperature. The heating was too high and the air was dry.

It’s ok
Pros:

Very nice rooms, spacious and comfortable. Good location. Perfect for short stays.

Cons:

We had a problem with the outdoor parking.The card they provided for open/close was not working or something was wrong with the gate. We explained to the reception but they didn’t really engaged besides saying that “the card is ok.”Eventually they agreed to open the gate manually for us. We had to do the same explanation everytime we needed to leave as they were different people at the reception + back and forward walking (as the parking was behind the hotel) The discussion and leaving the parking took us arround 30mins. We paid 25€ per day which is ok but they way they neglected the problem was not ok. Not a single person come to the gate or bothered to check what was actually wrong.
