great location public transportation nice room helpful staff small bathroom ticking sound air conditioning smelly towels
the location was great! it was just a short walk to public transportation. the room was also very nice, and i wish i could have stayed longer. the staff spoke good english and were very helpful .
the bathroom was quite small, a bit inconvenient. the air conditioning made a ticking sound, it bothered me a bit at night. i found that the towels had a slight smell, , made me question their cleanliness, though.

a buda side gem

convenient location friendly staff comfortable bed early breakfast
The hotel location was convenient for exploring. i walked easily to buda castle and enjoyed the proximity to the danube (it felt so romantic!). the staff were friendly and arranged an early breakfast before my departure. I appreciated that so much. the bed was very comfortable and ensured a restful sleep (a small luxury when traveling).
the room decor felt a bit dated, though this was a minor detail.
