Our unit is located in a historic building and just 1-3 blocks from several bus, tram and metro stops. It was clean and nicely decorated. It had a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, toaster, Keurig equivalent, and microwave. The bedroom is a loft upstairs with a very modern bathroom downstairs. We appreciated the availability of a washing/dryer machine and the included Netflix. A Budapest Rick Steves guide was available, which helped us plan our next day’s trip excursions.

Fantastic! Everything about our stay was great. The hotel features a huge play area for kids, a great outdoor pool, and excellent spa facilities. We truly liked everything, and the breakfast was great too. One small thing to note is that they hosted some kids' activities run by an outside company (not by the hotel itself). It didn't bother us at all and we would still absolutely choose this place again, but it would have been nice to be informed beforehand. In general, a super cool and great experience!
