The location is very convenient. It's just a short walk to the Buda Castle area. it is near Elisabeth Bridge. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided great service. The breakfast was adequate with nice fresh fruit, croissants, and cheeses.

The hotel could use some updating, particularly the decor looks a bit dated.

the staff was helpful enough, i guess.

The room was pretty small though. it really was like they crammed too much stuff in there. also, the ac didn't work very well, and the room was always stuffy. It made sleeping a real chore!

friendly staffclean roomsmall bathroom

The location offered easy access to attractions on both sides. The breakfast buffet was plentiful with good selections. I appreciated the friendly staff. They provided needed information. The room was airy and clean.

The bathroom felt small. The shower, toilet, and sink seemed quite close together. This made maneuvering a bit difficult, I hope they consider a redesign
