The property is the whole building with some parts being the actual hotel. There was an issue for a whole day with the building entrance device; it had no energy, so it was impossible to get in. I was able to go inside of the building because someone was coming. Another traveller ran into me and told me he had the same problem. After a while, the issue was resolved, but it made me rethink the times I was coming back to the hotel because I may not be able to get in.

The room was small, but not too much. Temperature was perfect. Basic room without a fridge or anything extra (ther was a small fridge in the hallway).

The body shower/shampoo was mixed with water, but mostly water, so it was unusable, I had to get a shower gel from a pharmacy.

Location was great though.

Fantastic location, quite a basic room, but good amenities, can’t really complain for location and price. Only thing to be wary is that the breakfast was a 10 minute walk away, in the opposite direction to most attractions. Host was nice and available at check in to support with keyless system. Apartment is located in a very dingy building but once you are in the room it is nice enough.

We booked this hotel due to its proximity to St Stephens Basilica. We ended up staying at their other property (air bnb) that's 10 minutes away and we were not informed until we were about to check in. There was no transparency until the last minute and we were left with no choice. Air bnb property was not clean and there were no toiletries and not enough towels. Would have rated zero star if not not for the breakfast.

I never received a single email from the hotel & I am guessing they have it wrong. The check in process was a nightmare. Claiming it’s a hotel is a stretch. It’s more like a bad Airbnb. They asked me to leave the money for the city tax in my room! I am willing to pay the tax, but not by just leaving the money unattended. The room was dirty & poorly maintained, paint was peeling off the wall. No idea where the breakfast was served. The stairs to the 2nd floor were very poorly lit. Wasn’t offered housekeeping until after my 4th night. This was the worst hotel experience of the past 20 years & certainly feel entitled to a partial refund.

The location was excellent for this property, but it is not quite the hotel you are expecting. The property is located beside St Stephen’s Church and is on top of all the major places to visit but the hotel is more like a concept, they are semi-modernised rooms inside a run down building where the lift (which is akin to something out of the shining) only holds 3 people and if you opt to walk up the stairs, at night it’s a little worrying as the lights don't automatically come on and you are walking in the dark. Reception is only open until 8pm and then is unmanned, there are no phones are in the room if needed. No extra pillows were given when asked for as they had none to give, but did however have extra blankets. It’s a little like a hostel, definitely not what I was expecting. Only provided one coffee each for one day in the room and the kettle was dangerous as didn’t switch off, but clean. Would not stay here again and should be no more than 2 stars.

The staff and service at this property were wonderful. They were warm and welcoming and eager to help. The location was amazing with a beautiful view of St Stephen’s out the window.

However, the bathroom was a very difficult situation. The drain in the shower ran extremely slowly - even with the water just trickling out, the shower drain couldn’t keep up. My daughters and I took extremely short showers so the water wouldn’t pool, and even still we couldn’t run enough water to wash our hair. There was also a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor that had a broken cover - so essentially there was a treacherous hole in the middle of the floor.

But the worst issue by far was a terrible odor that was present in the bathroom. It was sometimes very strong and sometimes almost undetectable, but it made for a very unpleasant bathroom experience.

Overall, other than the bathroom issues, we would have been extremely happy as everything else was great!

Perfect location

We loved the location of this hotel. The room was clean, modern and overlooked the st Stephen basilica. We paid a little extra to face the cathedral, which made it special. There were shops & multiple restaurants nearby and a lively night life that quieted down by 11pm so was never a problem. 2 things were off putting with this hotel/our room. 1) Once you find the hotel, you realize that the rooms all seem to open to the lobby in an apartment that was converted to a hotel. The receptionist/reception area was about 3-4 meters from our room door, so our room didn’t feel particularly private. And since there was a large table about 1.5 meters from our room door, at anytime of the day or night random guests could be sitting there. On the other hand, maybe that means the rooms have more direct supervision. 2) Since the hotel is just above the ground floor, when the blinds on the room windows were open, it felt like people could see in, so we felt that we had to keep the blinds shut at night which defeats the purpose of having a view. I wish the blinds could have covered the bottom part of the window to block people in the square below but still allow a view of the cathedral. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but I would try a more traditional hotel next time given the many options.

Kari and the rest of the staff are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The location is fantastic as it is close to almost everything! Our airport shuttle service with Zoltan is superb.

Great Location - NOT so Great Hotel

My friend and I had arrived within the hours that there was supposed to be a person at the reception desk (about 9:30 am). However, there was no one there and we were left waiting outside in the hot and dark hallway for over 30 minutes as we had no way in. Finally, someone arrived and we were able to leave our bags until check in time later in the day. Upon check in, we quickly realized that the door to the bathroom in the room would get stuck if closed fully. It did not really matter, because the door was totally transparent! No privacy at all - very strange! Not to mention that the shower door had a crack and would flood the entire bathroom with almost an inch of water each time someone showered. The only saving grace of this hotel is that the location is superb. It is in walking distance from many restaurants, public transportation stops, and beautiful Budapest sights. Although the location was wonderful, I would not recommend this hotel for any travelers.

A mixed bag

The hotel is located in an apartment building next to St Stephen’s Basilica. This made it a little confusing to find at first. Select Magazin on the intercom and you will be buzzed in. The windowless reception is on the first floor, second floor to Americans. There are stairs in the entryway with a ramp (see pic) and an elevator to your right (see pic). The receptionist was lovely and spoke English well. Our room was on the 4th floor (5th to Americans) with large windows overlooking the Basilica and pedestrian zone square. Room was quiet, a/c was good, bed was comfortable, location was great. However, clothes from a previous guest were left in a cabinet that the tv sat on, we put them on the floor (see pic) and told reception when we left. No closet, instead a portable stand with hangers, not a lot of counter space in kitchen, but it did have fridge, microwave, etc. Not a lot of shelf space in bathroom, but enough towels, toiletries and hair dryer. The shower was large enough, but the cold water pressure came and went very quickly, so you had to be prepared to get out from under the spray or get scalded. It was a hand-held shower head with a holder that slipped out a few times before we got it in securely. Our receptionist was extremely nice and was horrified when we told her about the leftover clothes. On balance it was not expensive, location was great, but I would likely stay at a different hotel on a return visit.

First of all, the room was very clean and comfortable. There was a kitchen area to prepare hot drinks and simple food which was great for a solo traveller.
However, it was hard to access the building. I pressed all the intercom buttons, annoyed someone I disturbed, and eventually had to ring the hotel number to get access when arrived.
The woman on Reception was lovely, however my room was not ready despite being past check in time. She was very helpful and put me in another room instead. This was not a problem, however, they did not change the room number or key card for a late arriving couple who opened the door to my room at 11pm that night! They were very tired but we managed to contact someone who sorted it out.
For a solo traveller this unnerved me. Fortunately I was still awake and was not yet in bed. But it caused a lot of stress for me and the poor couple who were only following the instructions they had been given.
The hotel is in a great location, is comfortable but really needs to sort its administration and guest management processes out.

Hotel is one step away from St Stephens square and church in the heart of Budapest. Accomodation is more like an air b&b with a 9-5 receptionist. Stylish, small, contemporary, minimalist room, bordering on stark. TV only had Hungarian channels, hairdryer but no room safe (there was a simple lockable cupboard).

Bad check-in arrangement

Sorry but I have to be honest about my worst check-in experience here. I was checking in at around 9pm, which was after the reception hours (8am-8pm). Beforehand they sent me a password to open a locker that holds my room key. When I opened the designated locker, it was empty and I panicked a lot.

I called the hotel's emergency phone number and luckily it worked.
I was told that very unfortunately some staff had mixed up the lockers and put the room key in another locker :/
Very soon I was given the correct password and locker with great help from the staff over the phone.

It is safe to say this is the worst thing that any traveler can experience in a hotel - receiving wrong information about check-in procedures, with the fear you might have nowhere to stay overnight, or have to carry around your heavy luggage in search of another hotel.
I know this incident happens rarely, but it's a mistake that should not happen even for once.

This bad experience aside, this hotel has an enjoyable view of the Basilica and is close to metro stations and airport bus 100E. Decorations were modern and space was adequate. Sometimes the crowd in the plaza could be noisy till late nights though.

Overall I enjoyed the hotel very much despite the initial bad check-in arrangement.

Our stay was fantastic! We are a group of four girls who were looking for a place close to the centre as well as the nightlife in the evening. We couldn’t have found a better spot. Our view from the window looked straight down onto one of the main tourist attractions (shown in the photo but looked even better in the day) surrounded by lovely restaurants. We were a 2 minute walk away from the river with the main bridge right in front of us! There was a bank cashpoint just around the corner and the nightlife was about a 10 minute walk away. We honestly couldn’t have asked for any more. Exactly what we wanted. Easy access to the apartment, basic and modern. So happy with our stay, would definitely stay again.

We asked to upgrade and fortunately they had a studio available for the last two nights Wich was much more comfortable with a beautiful view of st Stephens basilica. There place felt clean overall but simple things like bin bags were forgotten. They were a bit mean with not giving us coffee for the last day / only one tea bag in the room. Overall very pretty location but it was really a no frills experience and the double rooms are basically like a hostel. Go for a studio if you have a choice

Situated in the square is a great place to start but that comes with the noise. Rooms basic and back rooms look out on dull dark court yard but are probably quieter than front rooms . Beds and towels are basic . And kitchen is limited to just making coffee

Great location!
Also loved the Budapest guide put together by the hotel and e-mailed to us before our arrival to make the most of our time there.

Great place to stay in Budapest

I choose the Basilica view and was not disappointed. The location of the hotel could not have been more perfect. Hotel staff was wonderful and very helpful with information. I will stay here again and I look forward to that stay. I did have a problem with the room deodorizer which was a bit strong and bothered my allergies. I spoke to the desk staff and requested no more to be sprayed, and they took care of the problem

Such a lovely stay at this hotel, I want to come back now! Comfy bed, clean rooms, nice little bathroom with a shower that is a decent strength (!), super friendly and helpful staff. Offered a taxi prior to our trip from the airport at a set price of €33/10,000 forint which we made use of (and going home again) which made our stay so much smoother not having to worry about our next steps and they safely looked after our luggage on our last day until our evening fligh. In the city centre, everything on your doorstep so after you have spent all day exploring it’s so easy to nip back to the hotel to freshen up before the evening. I don’t think I can fault it honestly :) great value and great service, please don’t change! :)

The magazine hotel is situated at a very convience location. 5 mins walk from the metro,3 mins to supermarket, 10 mins walk to chain bridge. Surrounding there are restaurant snd cafe. Going airport is easy, one can take a metro which is few stop away Deák Ferenc ter and take 100E directly to the airport .

The position of the hotel was just perfect! Most of the sight seeing were in a walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Only problem was the shower that wasn’t completely clean.

We spent a few nights here with my other half and our stay was absolutely amazing. Main attractions of Budapest are literally a minute away from the hotel. The view from the room was beautiful and we loved how quiet the room was. Such a stylish little place it is! I can only recommend this place :)

Good stay

Overall it was a good stay and I do recommend this hotel. It was a simple hotel with a modern and clean style. Great location but it comes with the music from nearby clubs on the weekends.

Nice clean rooms. No fuss. Easy check in. My only suggestion is that they should add full body mirrors to the rooms. That was the only drawback for me.

Scary lift!!

This hotel was perfect for a girls long weekend to Budapest. Brilliant location that’s easily walkable to Buda side/ruin bars/good restaurants etc. Upon arrival the receptionist was very helpful and friendly! We stayed in the large room for 5. Firstly - what a view!! This included a large double bed, a double sofa bed and a single sofa bed. The single sofa bed wasn’t very comfortable but did the job! Only negatives would be that on our third day we got stuck in the very old small lift.. I tried calling the hotel reception and no one answered. So we called the alarm system in the lift and were told they would be half an hour.. thankfully about 5/10 minutes in someone pressed for the lift and it took us to a floor. We went to reception and found a somewhat less helpful young woman who not only heard the phone ringing and didn’t pick up, really didn’t care that we had been stuck and someone was having a panic attack, so much so that she wouldn’t even call the alarm company to cancel them coming to fix. We also asked for more towels and toilet paper as we hadn’t been given enough for the number of people but were told we had to wait for the cleaners as they had no access.. despite this.. ultimately a great hotel! I think it was more bad luck getting stuck in the lift and the unhelpful receptionist. Would definitely recommend.. just maybe take the stairs!

Long weekend in Budapest

Overall great. Warm welcome, great location, spacious room overlooking the St Stephen basilica.
Only negative, slightly noisy at night due to nearby bar and basilica bells ringing in the morning

Great location

Great location, close to restaurant and attraction. The room is comfortable with air condition, just the cleaning of the bed can be better.
