The place was great! Loved the self check-in and the location was very walkable/close to transportation.
The location was good, and the room looked fine when we checked in, but after just two days, brown water started dripping from the ceiling. Within a few days, the water damage spread, forcing us to place buckets in four different spots throughout the room (bathroom, kitchen, and two different places in the bedroom/living room ); we could barely sleep during the last couple of days. We reported it to the reception, but they simply apologized and handed us a towel so we could clean it up ourselves.
We didn't know where it would start dripping next, so it was hard to know where to put our things. Some of our belongings got hit by the brown water, which was really disgusting.
We feel we paid far too much considering the quality of the room we received.

This is the second time I’ve stayed here. The last time was four years ago but this is the only place I’ll stay and the place I recommend to friends. Apartment was clean and spacious. Staff is very friendly. Location is the best. Simple walk to the Christmas markets in just a few minutes. Stayed with my mother and we never felt unsafe walking at night in the area. Two convenient little food stands right by the hotel for reasonable langos, chimney cakes and crepes. Grocery store close by and lots of restaurants.
Room was nice, helpful and friendly staff even though they were busy almost of the time but they always helped out.

Clean, equipped, easy check-in and check-out. The only downside was being level with the courtyard.

The studio was nicely decorated, but the quality is very basic. Beds are quite uncomfortable and the cleaning need improvement.
Location though is fantastic.
Having parking garage is a big plus.
The price per night is very good for the location.

Not great service. It's more an apartment than a hotel. Check-out at 10am

There is nothing to say except that the TV in the room is old. A clean and very comfortable apartment.

Good place to stay in centre of town
The apartment is well equipped and in the centre of Budapest. Overall it’s a great place to stay and the staff were all very helpful.
They had air conditioning but they don’t allow it to be used until June. The apartment was rather hot but they had unusual weather for April so usually this probably isn’t an issue.

The location is perfect .
The apartment was very big but quite old and there was only one air-condition in the living room for the whole 120m apartment therefore it was very hot in the bedrooms.
There is a grate terrace with a view .
As a compensation for the air-condition situation we received a breakfast for free!
Normally breakfast costs 15 euro per person , for that amount it is totally not worth it.

It was a mixed experience. While I enjoyed the location and property after having a mix up with my booking when I arrived late at night, it was quickly resolved and the ladies at the reception were helpful particularly Viktoria. I expected a bit more on the cleaning but was told it’s only once a week because it’s an aparthotel which was very disappointing. But the checkout was the biggest issue for my stay with no flexibility provided whatsoever even though it wasn’t a busy period especially after spending 14 days

Mediocre
Hotel did not receive my email address from hotels.com, so couldn't contact me with the details.
Room was okay, but not super clean, which is a bit of an issue during COVID-19 times.
There is no water kettle or tea/coffee (otherwise the kitchen has utensils). AC couldn't be turned off (didn't find the remote).
