“In the middle of nowhere, but clean and an interesting experiment!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

The hotel is situated near Budapest. Each room is made of individual volumes which are prefabricated and installed on site. The hotel is clean and the rooms are interesting. It's a unique concept which worth to try, but only if you plan to take a good sleep and to hit the road again. Good value for money and the room key is a cifre which you had to enter before accessing the room.

Room Tip: Doesn't matter! all are the same

“Far away, but peaceful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

We arrived by car, so the distance was not an issue. Parking in Budapest at weekends is free on charge, anyway. For those who use public transport, however, there's a regular bus service going to the centre of Budapest from a bus stop 200 m away from the hotel every half an hour.

The hotel itself is in a quiet area, close to the freeway, but not too close. The parking lot is rather big and free of charge, and the receptionist is helpful enough. The furniture inside the room is mostly plastic and looks fragile, but one shouldn't expect much luxury for that price, which is more than reasonable (€17 per person per night in a double room). The bathroom is very small and cramped; feels like a portable toilet.

As for the breakfast, we came too late in the morning and there was hardly any food left in the self-service buffet, while most of the tables still hadn't been tidied up after the previous guests had finished eating.

We stayed for only one night, so we can't really complain, although the distance and the rather Spartan feel of the hotel might be its disadvantages.

“Far far away from Budapest”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010

person found this review helpful

They edited their description and the map. When I booked the room this website said that it was just about 3 or 4 km,. from city centre. This place is completely far away from the city. It's difficult to get there even if you drive your own car. I had to take 2 buses to get there and there is no public transport after 11 PM. The room are OK. Nothing special, The problem is that I felt thet they cheated on me. They lied on their description, so I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
