A very comfortable stay in a charming and peaceful hotel.
Pros:

The location was fantastic for exploring Buda, being beside the Fisherman's Bastion and the Castle area. Pest was also just a half hour walk, downhill, over the wonderful Chain Bridge. The hotel was really charming with lots of character. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was lovely, and had everything we needed. The aircon was great and much used! As a family, we were given 2 adjacent rooms, which was fantastic. Most of the staff were friendly, and all were very professional, and offered great service, especially Daniel. We ordered our airport taxis through the hotel, and this also went very well.

Cons:

The only downside was that the open shower area offered no privacy at all, and this was particularly unhelpful for our teenage son and daughter, who were sharing a twin room. We had to schedule shower times, which was a little awkward.
Breakfast on the first day was not great as our hot food was cold. However, we had 2 further breakfasts which were great, so I think the first one was a randomly bad day.

Pros:

Výborná lokalita, čistota veľmi dobrá až na chýbajúci sprchový gél pri príchode, museli sme si ho vyžiadať.

Cons:

Dostali sme vnútornú izbu, kde nebolo okno, mali sme dosť stiesnený pocit a klimatizácia musela ísť naozaj naplno, aby sme mohli dýchať. Zažili sme dokonca, a to dva dni po sebe veľmi zvláštne veci. Konkrétne sa na már sekúnd spustili hlasy, ktorým sme nerozumeli. Bolo to naozaj strašidelné. Keď som sa potom na tieto veci pýtala na recepcii, recepčný sa tváril ako keby som to v hlave nemala v poriadku. Nakoniec ale predsa vysvetlil, že oni nevedia PREČO sa to deje, ale akonáhle vsuniete kartu v izbe, zapne sa na chvíľu zvuk z televízora ale nie obraz. Takže problém stále majú, len sa tvária, že nie.

Pros:

Great location, close to the Fisherman's Bastion.

Cons:

Many emails repeatedly requesting check-in time -even after I had responded. Subsequently discovered they don't manage the reception all day, which explains this. Room felt a bit cramped, plus some small problems like no hand soap. Very little complementary tea / coffee/ water. They also charged for filtered water in rooms and the restaurant, despite a relatively high price for the accommodation.

Excellent value for money, location, service and food.
Pros:

The location is outstanding. Next to the Halaszbastya and St Mathias Church. The food is lovely, best breakfast you could have anywhere: the bistro plate for breakfast is unbeatable. Lovely helpful staff. Outside of the cheap touristy Pest Vaci St side. Quality location.

Cons:

All good
