I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Budapest. The rooms were outstanding, super comfortable, and full of nice details like the vintage-style radio and fridge. The location was exceptional, situated right at the heart of the Buda Castle District, offering a great base for exploring the area. The service was fantastic, with very helpful and friendly staff throughout my stay. However, the dining experience was not value for money, with only two croissants and jam provided.

I found the hotel to be a charming place, with some lovely features but also a few drawbacks. The rooms, while pleasant, lacked privacy due to a glass screen connection to the bathroom. However, the service provided by both the hotel staff and local establishments was fantastic. The location was simply stunning, offering beautiful views and a perfect spot to relax after a day exploring Budapest. The dining experience was excellent, especially the breakfast options. Overall, a mixed but memorable stay.

The hotel's location is perfect, right in the heart of Buda Castle with fantastic rooms that are ideal after a long day out. However, the corridor light entering through the internal window covered with a cheap blind can be bothersome at night. The service is very friendly and extremely helpful, making the stay pleasant.
