Apartment4you Budapest

The only plus was the central location. The place was extremely dirty, with mold in the bathroom, blood stains on the sheets, and hair everywhere. It was neglected and noisy too. We only stayed one night; any longer and we would have ended the stay. If they give you room 407, I’d refuse it. Probably the worst accommodation experience we’ve ever had.

We left after the first night. We’d paid around 80€ a night for a supposed two-bed “appartment,” but got a small, run-down one-bed “room.” The stove didn’t work, there was only one tiny pot in the kitchen, and the heating was stuck on with no way to adjust it. Cleaning seemed limited to the most obvious spots, and all the appliances and furniture were old and damaged. The receptionist couldn’t speak English, and we couldn’t reach the owner. The money was gone. I absolutely can’t recommend this place.

The only useful things nearby were a supermarket and a bus stop. Inside, the place was dirty, old, dusty, full of cobwebs, and smelled old. I found a long blonde hair on the supposedly clean sheets, and the sheet also had a hole. There was no air conditioning or even a basic fan for summer, and the toilet paper was very low quality. The receptionist smoked in my face while talking, and staff either didn’t speak English or spoke it poorly. This building needs a full renovation. A slightly lower price shouldn’t mean a place is unlivable and dirty, it should just mean fewer options or amenities. Don’t recommend it. Please avoid it so they learn to treat paying guests better and provide a more presentable, non-smelly room.

We booked an apartment for two for 145€. The online booking site said payment by the host’s payment card was possible, but when we called the site to check, they said it could only be accepted after speaking with the owner, and at a different amount, around 180/200€. This kind of shady business is misleading and deceptive. I wouldn’t recommend this place to foreigners.
