Ábel Pension Budapest

A quirky place for those who like something a little different from the typical hotel experience. We were well looked after for the 2 nights we were there. Fine old building with lots of character, run by a very nice, professorial gentleman. Free Internet. The "parking" mentioned on the website turned out to be anywhere in the street where you could find a space - about 100m away in our case, so not too bad.

Very clean and comfortable room. Staff are very helpful if you had any specific request they would try to fulfill it. Despite of the central location of the accomodation it is a very quiet area.

The people were very nice. My room was big. It was the family room. I may have gotten because I booked late.The breakfast was good, a lot of food. Every room got their own plate of meat, cheese and vegetables, (I got more cheese because I don't eat meat.) There were lots of different kinds of bread and yoghurt, muesli and other cereal, coffee, tea, and juices. Breakfast was a pretty strict 7-9. Available in the the fridge for anytime was mineral waters, soda and beer. You were just to write down what you took. Also some liquor was available. I don't know what they charged for that. I took two waters and a beer and they ended up giving it as a gift. There was a porch and a yard you could sit in. Not right in the center, but there was a tram a block away. Only a problem if you stay out late. One night I took a taxi which was not expensive. The other night I walked a bit to the all night tram and then a little bit from it to the panzio (pension). Very pleasant overall.
