Guests frequently highlight friendly, responsive staff who assist with taxis and special requests despite limited desk hours. Apartments are often spacious with kitchens, washers, mezzanine layouts and two bathrooms; Wi‑Fi and air conditioning work well, though a few mention dull lighting, less‑comfortable beds, minor noise, or occasional bathroom odors. Expect a superb center‑city base with self‑service convenience and apartment comforts.

The lady at the reception was exceptional. We booked 2 rooms, one elderly family member was staying alone in one room and the rest of us had to catch our flight. He was feeling unwell on the day of checkout and she allowed him a late checkout, helped him down the stairs, and helped him get a taxi cab and called me multiple times to update me on him. I was very touched. The room we stayed in was two floors, spotless and clean, and decorated so prettily with fun lights , mirrors and sparkles. It felt huge and had everything we could want in an apartment with a full kitchen. The location was in a beautiful pedestrian street which we enjoyed walking through both day and night time and felt very safe. I will mention for those with elderly family or mobility impairments; you must walk up stairs to get to the rooms as there is no elevator, the taxis also cannot bring you to the door bc it is a pedestrian only street, and this could pose a problem if you are not aware beforehand

Perfect blend of history and modern clean room. In the middle of the walkable tourist street. Just skip the breakfast. It's left over pizza ingredients from the underneath pizza restaurant. Also prepare to walk up 40 steps with your luggage. Otherwise it's excellent.

This is not a hotel and does not offer hotel services. Front desk is available for an hour or so in the morning. Breakfast is cold continental plus coffee. No eggs, which I really needed.. no elevator to take baggage to the upper floors. Apartment not really comfortable but fits a fee people and is in a good locstio.

Amazing apartment I have stayed at 3 times in the last 2 years with everything we needed. however please note there is NO ELEVATOR and there are many stairs, some of which are slippery and a hazard for older adults or lots of luggage. This should be clearly noted. We stayed in 212, which would seam to be the 2nd floor but is on the 3rd floor. I would recommend better lighting and better grip on the actual stairs, as I slipped once. The location is perfect on a beautiful street with convenient transportation and so many restaurants and shops

Great location and great value. Close to shops, markets, restaurants, attractions, and public transit. They were doing electrical upgrades during our stay, and we were offered a full refund at check-in if we wanted. We stayed 2 weeks and the work was not a huge problem. We tried to be out and about as much as possible while the work was going on during the daytime. We are not housekeeping required everyday guests. When our room did need some attention, the staff were quick address our needs the same day. Staff were very helpful with visitor suggestions and tips. They booked our taxi to the airport for us since we did not have access to the right apps. Very cool. The washing machine in our room was a huge plus so we did not have to pack as many clothes as we otherwise would have. The only negative would be no elevator if you cannot physically handle going up and down 30 stairs. Overall great value for the money and would stay there again when visiting Budapest.

A nice and beautifully renovated accommodation, in a perfect location, but definitely not a hotel!! Don’t expect hotel services here. The breakfast was super simple and not even fresh plus dozens of flies. No elevator at the building. Perhaps not a perfect place to stay if you’re travelling with seniors/kids. Giving a 4 star mainly because of the helpful and kind staff.

We had a pleasant and comfortable stay in this apartment. It is spacious, clean, and offers everything you need. The two modern bathrooms were a standout feature, particularly the great showers. The location in the Old Town is unbeatable, offering immediate access to public transport, shops, supermarkets, and countless dining options. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciated the thoughtful arrival amenities like coffee pods and bottled water. Our only minor comment is that unfortunately there were some renovations occurring in the building. While noticeable during the day, it did not disturb us at night or affect our sleep. We definitely recommend this apartment and would happily stay here again.

Lägenheten var väldigt ren, fin, rymlig, över all förväntan. Full utrustad kök med allt man kan behöva. Vi kom på kvällen och jag ringde och fick intruktionerna hur vi får tag på nyckeln, osv, smidigt. Fin service. Lägenheten ligger väldigt bra, nära till kollektiv, restauranger, floden mm. En enda negativ är att det luktade lite avlopp i ena badrummet och ena toaletten men det andra positiva övervägde allt. Jag kan rekommendera och kommer att bo där nästa gång vi är i Budapest.

Self check in and check out of an apartment in a cute little courtyard on a street with tons of shopping and restaurants. Very close to the river and walking distance to many things. Two separate queen beds (though not the most comfortable), one and a half baths, a small kitchen area with washer.

It turned out to be a loft in a condo unit with all amenities including kitchen and washing machine. The breakfast wasn't good. Probably wouldn't take that option. Minor issue with choppy WiFi. It would be nice to have a safe or deadbolt on the door. Overall extremely happy with the stay. We were comfortable the entire stay with all facilities. The interiors and fixtures are all new and premium. Everything is few minutes walk away - from restaurants, bars, shopping, Transit and tourist attractions. Definitely recommend for stay.

The building is old and shows it, but the room is quite efficient and outside noise minimal. Noisy neighbors were on the same floor, though. Some past reviews are critical of the breakfast, but we found it to be fine—one ought not expect the Ritz at a budget-friendly lodging! The young lady working at breakfast is delightful, competent, and speaks English well. We would stay here again.

Such a treat to find this gem of an apartment in one of the central hubs for dining and shopping in Budapest. Leave a quiet courtyard and step out to a wide pedestrian boulevard that you can conveniently take to major sites and transportation. The apartments are so clean, beautifully renovated, and designed with efficiency and function in mind. Staff was patient while we were getting our bearings and very accomodating to our few requests; made our short stay feel more personal and culturally connected.

Great location on the main tourist walking street in central Budapest. Checkin and checkout was easy and completely person-free (eg only via codes and a lock box). On the downside there was no one around to ask for help and no one in reception at the times we went there. Had a problem with a lack of hot water that went unresolved.

I'm not sure of whoes fault it was, but I didn't know my room number and how to check in and out. To check out, I contacted with a staff member by e-mail and could get a password for a safety box and return the key. Because other visitors seemed to know, it might be my fault or lack of instruction.

Great location and great value. Close to shops, markets, restaurants, attractions, and public transit. They were doing electrical upgrades during our stay, and we were offered a full refund at check-in if we wanted. We stayed 2 weeks and the work was not a huge problem. We tried to be out and about as much as possible while the work was going on during the daytime. We are not housekeeping required everyday guests. When our room did need some attention, the staff were quick address our needs the same day. Staff were very helpful with visitor suggestions and tips. They booked our taxi to the airport for us since we did not have access to the right apps. Very cool. The washing machine in our room was a huge plus so we did not have to pack as many clothes as we otherwise would have. The only negative would be no elevator if you cannot physically handle going up and down 30 stairs. Overall great value for the money and would stay there again when visiting Budapest.

Phenomenal location, lovely apartment. Nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Would recommend to others. And if ever back in Budapest, I know where I will stay!

Fantastiskt läge, närhet till allt. Bra utrustning i kök. Perfekt med 2 badrum, dock lite fuktigt i badrummen. Här skulle vi kunna bo igen. Trevlig personal.

Fantastic place to stay that is value for money, clean, spacious and safe. For some reason Expedia or the property didn’t provide us with any check in details which made it difficult for us to get in given our late arrival. Parking garages are relatively close. All the celebrations of National Day were enjoyed close by. Would definitely stay here again. Walk to the Danube, eat outside the entrance, have a great time and enjoy Budapest!

Dining
Breakfast is frequently described as simple to poor and served at the neighboring pizzeria; a few guests found it acceptable, but many recommend skipping it.

Perfect blend of history and modern clean room. In the middle of the walkable tourist street. Just skip the breakfast. It's left over pizza ingredients from the underneath pizza restaurant. Also prepare to walk up 40 steps with your luggage. Otherwise it's excellent.

Sicuramente da migliorare il buffet della colazione (misero e poco misto) e la mancanza di una vera e propria reception. Per il resto ottima struttura.

Appartement très bien équipé, très bien situé, à proximité des centres d'intérêt. On peut aller à pied, et si besoin le métro ou le bus ne sont pas loin. La literie est confortable. Le chauffage était réglé très chaud, mais nous avons pu le baisser. Le petit déjeuner est simple, mais suffisant, servi juste en bas dans une pizzeria. En résumé, c'était un séjour très réussi !

Den mest fantastiske lejlighed i to etager, som ligger i en meget idyllisk og autentisk baggård. Her kunne vi godt bo i mange uger. Lækkert lille køkken, badekar med bobler, stort tv og MASSER af skabsplads. Eneste lille minus er morgenmaden, som vi kun spiste den første dag ellers gik vi ud og købte det andre steder.

Fantastisk opphold i Budapest i en hel uke, med shopping, bading og opplevelser. Flott leilighet med velfungerende aircondition. Dårlig frokost med svært dårlig utvalg.

Lovely modern apartment, set in a wonderful ancient buulding, located in the city centre. A free breakfast is provided in the restaurant next door, which is fronted by a friendly, helpful young lady who speaks perfect English. Couldn't have asked for more from a reasonably priced week's stay in Budapest.

Great location Very walkable Close to train and tram No instructions for check in or check out, but very responsive by telephone call Breakfast was awful, it's at the pizza restaurant downstairs. Eggs were sweet for some reason. They had hot dogs, slices of cheese and meats Reception is only there from 10am-3pm on weekdays so be aware if you're trying to store luggage or check in at odd hours

The building is old and shows it, but the room is quite efficient and outside noise minimal. Noisy neighbors were on the same floor, though. Some past reviews are critical of the breakfast, but we found it to be fine—one ought not expect the Ritz at a budget-friendly lodging! The young lady working at breakfast is delightful, competent, and speaks English well. We would stay here again.

The apartment is amazing, looks like in the images, renovated, and the location is perfect. The host is very kind. The only issue was at check-in because they don’t have reception on weekends, but it was resolved very quickly.

The stay was incredible. The staff were very welcoming and very helpful whenever I needed it. The ease, convenience and location of the apartment was excellent. The place was prime in the heart of the restaurant and tourist hotspot with access to everything at your fingertips. A great location to walk from to the main tourist sites and public transport stops less than 150m away which could take you anywhere in the city by tram, bus or metro. The room is perfect for a solo traveller or couple with kitchenette, shower and fantastic air conditioning. There is much more that i didn’t use. I would definitely stay here again.
