“Very good location close to Ráday utca where many restaurants are, and the Danube was very close. Also a big room but a bit weird as it used to be a boarding school.”

8Verified guest

“We loved the convenient location, surrounded by great restaurants and live music venues. As friends who enjoy going out at night, it was the perfect base for our adventures. The storage room for bags was helpful, allowing us to explore the city before checking in. Rooms were comfortable with large windows, ideal for humid nights.”
