My wife and me wanted to take a look at Budapest. We decided shortly and ran into this location. The main importance for us was that it was in the center and not too expensive. But next time we will read the reviews more carefully. When we came to the "hotel" (some rooms in a normal house above the same... More

'Hotel' very centrally placed and the room itself was spacious and clean when we arrived. However there were several lamps missing, the shower could only be used by holding the shower head. the tv didn't work, hot water was not always available, and our room was never visited by a cleaner in the 5 nights we were there. The owner... More

Seriously avoid this restaurant unless you want to be over charged, underserved and left feeling very frustrated !! The homemade soup was straight out of a packet and served with stale bread. Hungarian Goulash was a joke and veg & patatoes were charged as 2 extra portions. No price list given with the drinks so a large beer was nearly... More

We wouldn't have booked it if we read the reviews, we forced to give them a chance. I still don't recommend this 'hotel' at all. The location itself is great-walking distance to many sites, shops, restos. Everything was clean. It's just a couple of rooms in an apartment building above a restaurant so there weren't any staff to look after... More

I am hardly surpirsed by all the negative reviews about this place. We fell for the same trick. We were offered 50% off food but were totally ripped off. We reckoned our bill should have came about about 6000ft....but it was 13000ft. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and the guy just stood there waiting for the money..he... More

Having jusgt arrived in Budapest we decided to have a walk up the Vati Utca to find a nice meal. The guy outside this restaurant started talking to us saying that there was 50% off Hungarian Food and... More

This place is really a restaurant renting out rooms. The whole thing seems a bit shady. The rooms are in a building that has also locals living there. There is no real reception or hotel staff. It was cheap and the room was ok, we didn't spent that much time there anyways. The only time when we saw the staff... More

The hotel is centrally located, but the entrance is through a restaurant and not really visible from outside. We booked a night through the Internet but when we got there they told us the house was full. I showed my reservation but a very rude waiter (from the restaurant) told us to go. He called the manager on the phone,... More

Restaurant stuff will empty your wallet in cold blood and shamelessly explain you why your bill is so sky high for so poor meal and service. Menu has no meaning here. More
