Great location, very convenient and walkable. Good if you just want a place to sleep. Getting there is a bit complicated, especially after hours. Rooms are nothing fancy, and not the cleanest. Dark hallways. Bed and linen/pillows weren’t the comfiest.

Great stay for GP week

Great location and good value for money. A little noisy in the evenings and mornings but I would expect that for the central location. The shower could do with a curtain or screen as it was difficult to shower standing up without soaking the whole bathroom! Nice big room and lovely views of the church.

Great location. Easy to walk to many areas. Close to metro. A little bit hard to find as it’s basically a door with a sign above. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved having a kitchenette with grocery stores nearby.

First of all I would like to thank the girls at reception who were so patient in being greeted and thanked in my very bad Hungarian ❤️ and secondly all the staff who run the hotel: never have I seen a hotel so clean and, in its small way, so welcoming. I slept very comfortably and the water jet in the bathroom was very strong. The air conditioning set to 'turbo' gave me the coolness I needed and there was a water cooler in the lobby. In front of the basilica, 5 minutes from the Deák metro/bus/tram stops, a great location at an extremely reasonable price.

Great Location

Went to Budapest to visit the Christmas Markets. The location of the Hotel was just perfect. Right outside one of the main Markets, 5 minutes walk from the Airport Bus Stop. Room was comfy and clean. Would recommend as a base to explore the City. Right outside St Stephen's Basilica which is also the starting point for the Hop on Hop off Bus Tours.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of Budapest city center. Karin and her colleague are the best hotel staff I‘ve ever met - ultrafriendly, helpful, and genuine people. Location is literally in front of the basilica and plaza, walking distance to everything. Value for money is excellent. Highly recommended!

Awesome location

Great location! Literally right in the plaza by the basilica. It is a bit odd to find and they didn’t really give instructions now to get into the building in order to check in. So it was a bit weird at first when I got into the building and didn’t see a lobby. But overall great place. Would recommend.

Lovey Location. Great Staff. Great room. Clean, nice, spacious. And friendly People. I love this place. I WOULD STAY again and again if I ever go back TO BUDAPEST. The people at the reception helped us to store our things and also helped to carry them into the room. Great manners. I give this place 100 points for sure. Price is good too. Please stay like that.

This is not a typical hotel property. Location is excellent as long as you are okay with not having 24/7 concierge. Depending on the floor you get it could get loud at night. We had our own noise cancelling machine so we were okay. The rooms facing basilica get a lot of light. The rooms itself are very clean and modern looking.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. The room was cute and comfortable, it may not be your typical hotel with a 24 hour concierge but the instruction in getting in and out of the building is pretty easy in case you get back late at night. Kari and the rest of the staff are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The location is fantastic as it is close to almost everything! Our airport shuttle service with Zoltan is superb. The bathroom leaks during shower which I guess is the only issue we had. Overall, it was a great stay and will definitely book this hotel when we visit again. Koszonom!

Awesome price for great location.

It is centrally located and room was very clean. The only issue I had was you will hear other guests from neighboring room. It is inconvenient if guest is loud. Also, the smell from the first floor as you enter the building is unpleasant. Other than that, the room is very modern and clean. The receptionist at the front desk during business hours was very friendly. Would definitely stay again for price and location. It is a short distance to tram station and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was excellent for this property, but it is not quite the hotel you are expecting. The property is located beside St Stephen’s Church and is on top of all the major places to visit but the hotel is more like a concept, they are semi-modernised rooms inside a run down building where the lift (which is akin to something out of the shining) only holds 3 people and if you opt to walk up the stairs, at night it’s a little worrying as the lights don't automatically come on and you are walking in the dark. Reception is only open until 8pm and then is unmanned, there are no phones are in the room if needed. No extra pillows were given when asked for as they had none to give, but did however have extra blankets. It’s a little like a hostel, definitely not what I was expecting. Only provided one coffee each for one day in the room and the kettle was dangerous as didn’t switch off, but clean. Would not stay here again and should be no more than 2 stars.

There is a key pad on the door which we did not know the code. We called a couple times on the pad and got no answer, but someone was leaving and told us wheee to go. From then on it was smooth, check in was good, the room was just a room with a mostly comfortable bed, perfect for what we needed.

Minimalistic, modern, clean.

Modern design interiors. Basic, but I did not need anything more. Room very clean with beautiful view– worth the money. Karolina at the reception desk - very, very helpful. She stayed 2 more hours over her regular working time to help me out with the online reservation issue. She called all the relevant agents to solve a problem which was not caused by the Magazine hotel. Karolina – Great Thanks.

The staff and service at this property were wonderful. They were warm and welcoming and eager to help. The location was amazing with a beautiful view of St Stephen’s out the window. However, the bathroom was a very difficult situation. The drain in the shower ran extremely slowly - even with the water just trickling out, the shower drain couldn’t keep up. My daughters and I took extremely short showers so the water wouldn’t pool, and even still we couldn’t run enough water to wash our hair. There was also a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor that had a broken cover - so essentially there was a treacherous hole in the middle of the floor. But the worst issue by far was a terrible odor that was present in the bathroom. It was sometimes very strong and sometimes almost undetectable, but it made for a very unpleasant bathroom experience. Overall, other than the bathroom issues, we would have been extremely happy as everything else was great!
