Pros +
- Check-in was excellent. I was greeted so kindly and it was quick and efficient.I also like that this hotel was located close to where I was heading to for the day after my stay.
- Staff was nice, dog friendy, no problem with parking.
- Bad
Cons -
- It was a pretty warm night and the small fan in the room wasn't quite enough for me. However, I was only there overnight and it was the best it could be for me.
- Smelly rooms( cigaretes) , mold in bathroom, non functional AC, not even one hanger for clothes not even for towel im bathroom
- -Gypsys all around-cold at night-not clean ( gum on the floor, cigarets smell in room, bathroom smells bad)-horrible sound when you flush the toilet , the sound could also be heard from the other rooms ( like breaking something hard and loud)

Guests who sleep also here they dont care for others after 22:00 clock. Room wasnt clean.Its so far away from the centrea
I don’t prefer to stay here
The noice from other peoples in other rooms . Don’t give the towels , the pillows are very bad , the coat are very cold . Not clean
What is possible with animals and without additional payment for this service, but taking into account what kind of furniture there is and how dirty it was there, it would be ridiculous to charge an additional cost for a kitten
old furniture, dirty room, dirty shower and toilet, dirty stains on the walls of the room, apparently no one cleaned the room before we checked in as some leftover food from previous visitors was found in the refrigeratorstrong audibility, woke up due to the fact that they were just talking behind the wall in another room, I can’t say that this is a place to relax
The staff was friendly and the room has everything you need for a minimalistic stay of one night.
It was very noisy. You were able to hear the neighbours in the other rooms.The facilities were in an old habit.The shower was moldy and I wouldn't enjoy showering there
The staff was helpful, but that is the only good thing I can say.
If I could give -5 I would. First we arrived and they put us in a room where the cigarette smell was unbearable, even though there are signs everywhere to not smoke, the group of people which looks like to be owners are the ones smoking everywhere. Also, they told us the toilet was private but we saw other people using it. We asked the staff if we could change rooms because of the cigarette smell and he was very helpful and we got a different room slightly better, no smell of cigarettes but it cost the Wi-Fi connection, so 3 days without Wi-Fi. Also the rooms were not the cleanest neither. The city center is not close neither, but I was aware of that. So in general there are no perks to stay in this hotel.it is expansive for what you get, so you can definitely get better deals.
nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just look at my "what didn't you like section". It has literally NO upsides. It's even expensive. In front of the "hotel" (which actually it is not), there were also some dubious people standing around and being noisy. Really I can't say anything good here
the bed was smelly, the sheets were of dubious material, there was an OSHA violation in the common rooms (live wires hanging from the ceiling which go to the lamp), the toilet was soiled on under the lid, the tiles were falling down, the door could not be closed and every square meter was tapestried with "we do not take responsibility for your things left at the room". A filthy hole and also an expensive one, where after seeing this we didn't even slept. A horrid place I will never ever visit, not even by a mistake.
3 bed room available , nonstop reception, easy to get there and leave . Perfect for one night when need to take a nap before setting again off for next trip
Very old fashioned and equipped so the price should be lower .
Great staff, met our expectations. Comfy beds, good price for Budapest stay.
Price was goodStuff was very helpfulBed was comfortable
Walls are very thinNot a high standard but for a night enough
The only thing we likes was the friendly stuff
dirty room, old door like we could see outside the room through it, bad smell, very,very very warn out furniture, so very out of date bathroom, and super noisy from the other rooms ,we could literally take part of all the others neighbours conversations , full of workers and young people that came there just for a one night stand , definitely not the place to get some rest on your trips , in the outside yard there were some men that had a party chat with long chats and beers until 2:00 am and no one from reception told them anything.And for all that we payed 50 eur . This is the kind of place that needs total renovation and total change of attitude. At any time I prefer sleeping in an old , rusty car in a petrol station than in this place. I can asure everyone that this place will be in this state for at least 1 year from now one ,and I want to make sure all the others who run into it, are informed correctly about its state , In spite of all this ,stuff was friendly but with all the other inconveniences ,that is really not enough for a good night sleep.
Bit outside of center. But super easy to get into city with tram. Nice local eatery close by.
Receptionist was friendly
●Facilities are very old and badly maintained ●Towels were very old and looked awful ●no air-conditioning, we had to open the window and since it was summer time we had 2 options: 1.to use anti-insects spray in order to avoid being attacked by mosquitoes coming from the wide opened window or 2.to sleep in a room with closed window.●our stay was not good value for money, quite the opposite.
Good location near Zoo areaFree parking
No functional AC in the room, just a fanNo mosquito netting on the windows
Parking on site
No towel in room(after asking yes, but not very clean ones)No soapOldDirtyShady neighborhood
- free parking but if you travel by public transport you can find better accomodation in the center for same price so parking was the only plus for usYou can find much better accomodation for same price near City center but you have to add parking fee (amount depends of zone)
- coudn't sleep, you hear everything especially dicussing stuff at 2am next to the room. Do not recomment rooms near reception- lots of spiders in the barhroom- old fernitures, destroyed Fyi - there is no cattle, fork/knifes or plates so if you want to eat your own breakfast be aware of that
it was a house were the employee of any company stays!
it was very old and dirty!
Shared bathroom ,but with hot water .
The room was very poor in facilities, the furniture is very old
