Niedosyt.
Pros:

Ładnie dobrane kolory w pokoju. Designe był ok, ale niczego nie opowiadał. Był.
Świetna lokalizacja. Pomóc przy opłatach za parking.

Cons:

Niestety spodziewałam się większej funkcjonalności pokoju. Designe jest ważny, ale funkcjonalność jest ważniejsza. Łazienka była zrobiona dziwnie, nie było najmniejszych szans na oddzielenie się od reszty pokoju, choćby szyba. Byliśmy z dzieckiem, więc to dodatkowo komplikowało sprawę. Generalnie było czysto, choć pajęczyn było dużo przy lampach na drewnianych belkach.
O śniadaniu chciałabym napisać coś pozytywnego, były z menu i dość małe porcje. Dziecko miało niestrawności po zjedzeniu śniadania w drugi dzien, ale z tym nigdy nie wiadomo dlaczego, więc ciężko ocenić. Mi i mężowi smakowało.
Brak windy (tak, to zabytkowa kamienica, ale nawet w takich da się zrobić windę). Takimi schodami nosić samemu rzeczy na samą górę to był koszmar.

Nice hotel at convenient location.
Pros:

The location is excellent. Staff friendly.

Cons:

I really didn’t like how much the hotel spammed me before and during my stay. Fill in your check-in details, second reminder, final reminder, whatsapp reminder. Ignored all and nobody even asked ID when I arrived. Also upgrade and late checkout offers and reminders. And last cherry was asking for a tip at checkout.

Rooms are okay, however beware the windows are not soundproof.

Beautiful Comfortable Stay in Budapest
Pros:

Our stay in Budapest was absolutely wonderful, and this hotel exceeded expectations in every way. The comfort level was exceptional — from the plush bedding to the quiet, relaxing atmosphere, it truly felt like a retreat after long days exploring the city.

The ambience of the hotel was quaint and welcoming, with beautiful décor and a warm, inviting feel throughout the property.

The staff was consistently gracious, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay. Their kindness and professionalism added so much to the overall experience and made us feel truly cared for from arrival to departure.

Another highlight was the breakfast, which was the perfect way to start each day. The selection was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, offering something for everyone before heading out to explore the city. Really enjoyed the omelet and the croque madame.

One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its outstanding location. Situated within an easy walk to Buda Hill sites or an easy transit by bus to many of Budapest’s main attractions and scenic streets.

If you’re looking for a hotel that combines comfort, ambience, exceptional hospitality, and an unbeatable location for exploring Budapest on foot, this is an excellent choice. We would happily stay here again.

Lovely, atmospheric hotel in a great position
Pros:

This atmospheric boutique hotel is in a great position in the Castle district of Buda. We had a great room at the top of the hotel - large, bright and clean - with a comfortable king-size bed and a great shower. We had dinner in the hotel's bistro on our first night and it was atmospheric, with decent food and friendly service. The included continental breakfast was also good, albeit fairly simple - but there were other options available, if desired. Our room was quiet and included a decent fridge, kettle and Nespresso machine. The only downsides were the lack of a lift (we had to go up and down 3 flights of stairs, although we were given some help with our luggage) and the fact that the window blinds let in a lot of light (it felt like full daylight in the room at 6 am) - we had to buy sleep eye masks. But these were minor points in an excellent stay at a lovely hotel in a terrific position. Be aware, though, that the Castle district is at the top of a hill and, if you like walking to restaurants etc, you will be descending and climbing a lot of hills and stairs to get around! We were fine with that but others may prefer taking taxis. The price seemed fairly reasonable for the quality of the hotel and the size of the room, certainly compared to the main hotel brands.

On the whole very pleasant the staff are particularly helpful
Pros:

The Location has the advantage of being in the castle complex if you are mainly interested in that aspect. the hotel is not too big so is more convivial

Cons:

The breakfast was not inspiring a bit bland and limited. because of the location the traffic noise is over cobble stones so although there is very little traffic the noise is intrusive and the glazing does not block it
