The hotel is good, not good like other hotels next to Dune, but very good. Rooms are rather clean, location is good, and value for the money is excellent. There is not other hotels in such location for this money. It might be nice hotel for young couple to say, but not sure about business or family travelers.

The hotel is located centrally in Budapest and is in a good position for exploring the city. Overall the hotel was comfortable and reasonably priced, apart from the price of drinks in the bar which we found quite eye-watering. There are a number of fairly OK restaurants in the vicinity although Hungarian cuisine is quite basic, mainly meat and potatoes.

This is nice hotel, very conveniently located in Vaci Street, which is the main street in Budapest. Lots of nice restaurants and bars right around the corner. Rooms are big enough, with all necessary facilities. Nice varied breakfast. Very helpful staff. One disadvantage: if you have a room at the back of the hotel, the view is awful.

Right on Vaci Utca, the location doesn't get much more convenient. Hotel could arrange for local sightseeing. Could provide very nice restaurant recommendations and accurate directions on local maps (when we wanted to walk to some places). No complaints at all. However, there will be other (likely more expensive hotels) that will provide more creature comforts and luxury. We were... More

I stayed here with my 83 year old mother, it is a wonderful location, right on the main shopping street and only 10 minutes easy walk from the river. Plenty of staff and all so helpful and pleasant, they recommended and booked restaurants for us, always with a smile. Breakfast was good too.

Maybe not a real business hotel but it is overall a nice hotel with all features you need. And for a change something different, directly into the center of Budapest in between the shops and restaurants. Free wifi, clean room, good breakfast and friendly staff
