Hotel 30 Rooms Apartments

At 2 a.m. I'm writing this because the walls are moving from the noise of our neighbors. The room is on the upper level with no ventilation around the bed, which feels like a bacterial nest. The apartment is split into five small rooms with paper-thin walls, and the conditions made the place feel disgusting and unlivable. The worst booking I've ever made, with completely inhuman conditions.

I only have good things to say about the hotel and the man at reception. He was kind, helpful, and organized. Another place canceled on me, so I booked here for two nights over New Year's with my girlfriend and paid $99 a night. For that price, it was great, though I wouldn't call it perfect. I'd seen bad reviews mentioning a woman at reception, and maybe some people had problems before, but I didn't. We might have been lucky with our neighbors, since I didn't hear any noise or have any issues.

At check-in, they expected payment in cash within the first three minutes, though that hadn't been mentioned beforehand. Taxes also only appeared when it was time to pay. Fresh sheets and towels are provided every four days, and cleaning isn't mandatory. Some of the staff don't speak English, which makes getting things clarified difficult. For a very poor "hotel" in central Budapest, you might as well pitch a tent outside in spring or summer.

Awful. There was swearing and banging all night, and a foul smell. I wouldn't recommend staying here for a rest.
