“This three-star hotel positions itself as a convenient base for exploring Budapest, with ready access to public transport and proximity to Buda Castle. While some experiences appear inconsistent, its strength lies in spacious rooms equipped with kitchenettes, complemented by an in-house restaurant that serves Hungarian and European cuisine. I believe it aims to deliver a comfortable, self-catered stay, although attention to detail and service consistency would elevate the overall experience.”
