This was quite a pleasant place to stay, a good location and is a close walk to a lot of the main tourist spots. It’s also close to many great shops and restaurants nearby!
The room itself was modern and clean with a lovely homely feel to it. The balcony was a nice addition to the room, I quite enjoyed sitting out and relaxing. However, it wasn’t so easy to relax with the building site right across the garden. One of the mornings, I was rudely awakened at 6 am by the sound of a constant hammering noise coming from the site. I was flabbergasted and couldn’t get back to sleep at all! If you’re booking this hotel definitely look for one of the room’s opposite this side of the building.
I found the location of our apartment to be quite strange, it wasn’t even in the main hotel building but was a walk across the gardens and then up six floors. This was very badly sign posted and not explained well at all by the man downstairs. It must have taken us about 20 minutes of walking back and fourth before we finally found it. Not to mention, we were looking for it at nighttime and this entire complex is in pitch darkness. A bit scary if you ask me.
When we finally got up to the floor our room was on we had to navigate through the black of night going down a daunting hallway before finding our apartment, and finding out how to switch on the lights! It was a bit of a troublesome experience but the pleasant look of the room did make up for the trek it takes to get there.
We enjoyed most of our stay and despite the noisy building site, for the most part, slept quite well. That was until our final night at the establishment… we decided to take the stairs up to our apartment in order to burn off some of those holiday calories! The stairs were not well signposted and we actually climbed up more stairs than we were supposed to. This led us up to the “8th Floor”. My advice for anyone considering staying in this hotel would be, do not under any circumstances go up to the 8th floor!!!
Why you might be asking? Well at the top of the stairs on this floor is a solid brown door different from any other we seen in the entire building. Upon approaching this door we heard music blaring very loudly. I looked at my partner as if to say “we’ve gone to far” and motioning to head back down the stairs. When suddenly the music coming from the door on the 8th floor stopped.
We started to retreat down the stairs when the door was bust open and a woman came out screaming at us. She yelled things like “What do you want!?” “Fuck off!!” And “Get out of here”. It was terrifying.
My partner barrelled down the stairs and I ran onto the nearest floor spamming at the elevator door, hoping that the elevator would come before the 8th floor psycho did…
Luckily I made it away in the nick of time and I reconvened with my partner downstairs. We have never been so terrified in our whole entire lives. Whoever this woman is, I would stay away from her and her space. For this experience alone I will never return to this establishment but I would definitely recommend to those...
Read moreOne of the worst places I have stayed in my life. The receptionists are nice and they let you leave there your luggage, that's the only positive. But the apartment is pretty bad. I lived in Budapest and traveled there many times and I always stayed in the center, in the party area (7th district). If you can hear noise, it is because of the apartment, not because of the street - the door and the windows are not sound proof and do not fully close and thats a big problem, because downstairs there's a Burger shop, each time they fry, that pork fat smell goes inside the apartment (because the window quality is very bad). You can hear all noises from drunk people outside (which is the apartment fault, they should invest in windows and doors).
I went out, then when went back to apartment, I couldn't open the door, because the door lock is 99.99% broken - I had to call them, which then called security, which then knew what to do, (apparently he is used to it - why don't you just invest in proper doors and door locks?? )
Also, the pillows are very very big that it's hard to sleep (+ the combo of the pork smell and loud noises of drunk tourists screaming and singing). Those pillows are nice to hug tho, but they should provide normal pillows.
The bedroom has 2 single beds put together as a big bed, but the covers are very small, and if you are taller than 170cm you might have problems covering yourself.
Wifi was ok, and there was hot water, there were also glasses.
Homeless people outside is not a fault of apartment owners, and pretty much everywhere you'd stay in the center, they'll be there. they don't bother me in the least and I don't blame apartment owners for that. The price was 50-60€/night - it's too much for what you get. 20€/night would be more reasonable.
AFTER YOUR ANSWER: There's no need to LIE about your BROKEN doors/windows/door locks - your door lock was 99.999999% BROKEN that's why I couldn't open it, not because I am not able to open a door. Don't lie at least. So now you are saying that you have sophisticated doors that guests are not able to open? Don't be ridiculous. Just accept your faults and try to fix apartments. No, your pillows are not standard hotel pillows, your pillows are big pillows, good for hugs, but not good for sleeping. And I am a...
Read moreWe stayed in the hotel for 7 nights and our bed sheets were not once change. The bins were not taken out and replaced until the 7 th night before our departure, which began to smell as there was food from our first night meal in there stuck in the humid room. We were handed two clean towels on our 4th day and when I asked for more toilet roll as we had none I was abruptly told no. We had to go to reception the following day and request more toilet roll and were given 2 rolls. Our room was not touched until the 7th night when they changed the bins and left new toilet roll and towels, leaving the old used towells in a pile on our floor. The beds werent ever made and the room was not tidied up. The staff were rude and unhelpful. There is tours advertised in leaflets at the front desk, for a segway tour the leaflet stated "reservations required, ask at reception or call" we went to reception and asked if they could book us on this tour. We were told no and told we dont need them so we asked were it was we go and the man said "I dont know" and shrugged. And then googled it and gave us the wrong information. On our first night when trying to get into our room the door handle fell off! We managed to reattach it but couldn't get back in so went to reception to ask and the reluctant man came with us rolling his eyes and sighing to let us back in! The customer service was horrendous and the housekeeping was a joke! I wouldn't recommend this...
