We enjoyed our stay and visit in Budapest very much”

The location was excellent, great for starting the day from Old Town, Fisherman's Bastion up to the Gellert Hill and then for a late lunch at Central Market Hall. If you finish your day, but still want to do something late at night, you can walk back at Fisherman's Bastion, only 3 minutes from the apartment, with a beer or two and enjoy the view of lighted Parliament building, St. Stephen's Basilica, etc. The place is full of tourist at that time as well.

Amazing stay, very pleased, would recommend”

Location is great, good connection with bus line 16, right at the castle base as it says, space is very clean, it has everything, the little patio was very nice to have meals. Church is close but you cant hear the bells from the inside, very quiet surroundings
Pillows were very uncomfortable, we woke up with aches throughout the night and in the morning. Thats forgivable of course, but id recommend to bring your own pillow.

Great short stay near Buda Castle”

Compact apartment with kitchenette, warm in the cold weather, great location. We liked the little patio but didn’t use it as it was cold outside. Host met us on time and explained everything- we were pretty much out all day as we were exploring - but when we came back, it was warm and quiet. Cafes and restaurants nearby, literally at the foot of the castle. The bus stopped right outside and we found the location great for us, it’s on the quieter Buda side of the city, which suited us perfectly

Good location, too expensive for facilities/level of comfort”

Location was good, even though it was quite a climb from the nearest metro station. Room and bathroom were clean. Communication with host was good.
During our 5 day stay we could not get fresh towels (due to the host not being in Budapest). The apartment is located in the cellar of a building and had some pest control equipment in the hallway.

Might be great for a history buff, but for us it was just too difficult.”

no breakfast. very close to buda castle,, and hid (chain) bridge. close to public transport, as long as you don't have mobility issue, but easy to get a taxi if you do.
Owner is too hands-off. Issues like can't get key to work, wet bath mat should have been looked after. The owner should have come down and helped us figure out all the various locks and keys . It never occurred to us that this room would be kind of like in the basement, with an unkempt small 'garden' . Room was very small - had all the necessary things ,but was just depressing to enter, and return to.

Good as a base for going out and recharging after a long day.”

Privacy, kitchenette with fridge and microwave, pretty garden, comfortable bed, good wifi, easy to go in and out, location near tourist spots but still quiet.
The water in the shower drained very slowly. Little storage space for clothes.

Great value! Great location!!”

The location is fabulous!!--steps from the #16 and #216 bus. And for a night time stroll you are literally at the base of the castle. The Buda side was a preferable place to stay--much quieter and more of a neighborhood feel. You're not too far from a grocery store (downhill; remember you have to walk up with a bag of groceries!) The kitchen is small and adequate. It comes with a kettle for hot water, a microwave and a toaster. Also, first time using an induction cooker--this one is a bit sensitive and once I got the hang of it really enjoyed it. Also, Adam (host) is responsive, kind and helpful.
The unit doesn't have air conditioning. The week we were there the temps in Budapest stayed around high 70s and low 80s and so was bearable. With warmer temperatures, it could be a bit challenging. One window in the bathroom and a door to the outside terrace is the only source of fresh air. The room does have a rotating fan.

Great location but poor quality room.”

I was in permanent contact with the owner and he was waiting for me in the building. He is a nice guy who speaks good English. The room/studio is in an amazing location - just 200 meters from the Fisherman's Towers, 7-8 minutes from the banks of the Danube river, from Battyani metro station and a very good supermarket next to it.
Unfortunately, the picture shown in Bookings does not represents correctly the property. The room with a small bathroom and toilet is in fact located in the basement of the building. A door leads out to a courtyard, which practically cannot be used to avoid making noise to the neighbour upstairs. Worst of all is the horrible smell of mold that probably comes from the sewer and there is no way to escape from it. In two days my clothes were impregnated with this smell. There was also mold in one of the room ceiling corners.
