Everything was clean and well organized, and the staff were kind, polite, and very helpful. It was a perfect hotel for me. I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed my stay.

We paid for breakfast, but across our three days we only managed to get it once because they cleared it away before 10am. The woman working there was rude and unfriendly, and she often seemed to be on her phone, talking loudly to someone.

I loved staying on the quiet Buda side of the Danube. The bed was really comfortable, and my room opened onto a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard. Parking on the street outside was easy. If you're driving, just pay for parking; it's cheap and simple to arrange through a free phone app. District V is about a 30-minute walk over the Chain Bridge, or you can take a bus from four minutes away and get there in three quick stops. Highly recommend this little hotel.

The room had excellent amenities, and the staff were generally kind and knew the area well. The free coffee available around the clock was a nice touch. I was only there for three nights, which was about as long as the single room worked for me. I'm tall, and the bed was small enough that I had to sleep diagonally, with my legs still hanging off. I'm used to that, but the way the bed sits against the walls made it especially awkward. The breakfast charge, 15 euros a day, was only mentioned as I was heading out after handing in my key. I was in a hurry, and their card machine wasn't working. The price felt high for what was served, and the free coffee was the only thing that made it seem acceptable. They should have explained the cost earlier. There are plenty of cafes and markets nearby that I'd suggest trying instead.
