Guest Reviews
- Julio David (1/5): El peor lugar en el que he estado nunca - Cuando llegue no estaba limpio hasta las 16:30 no pude entrar en el lugar, aunque avisé varias veces de mi llegada. A las 15:00 y en el portal me dijeron que no podía entrar, después de mucho insistir pude dejar la maleta.
Todo sucio, sin recoger, sin el mínimo utensilio para usar el apartamento, el dueño dejó de contestar a mis mensajes cuando le escribía para saber dónde estaban las cosas. La basura sin recoger, no hay jabón de manos, nada. Ni un mínimo para estar normal, no pido lujo de ningún tipo NO OS QUEDÉIS AQUÍ, las fotos son de hace muchos años. El sitio está sucio, huele mal, es incómoda la cama,..
BUSCAD OTRO SITIO
- Vladislav (1/5): Верните деньги!!! - Ничего Много мусора, после прошлых арендаторов. Я спал сидя на диване. Ужасно мерзкое место
- Oksana (1/5): I don't recommend this type of housing to anyone!!! - I didn't like anything It was very dirty! No basic toilet paper. Towels. Pillowcases. Blankets. Lots of yellow stains on the bed and sofa. There was no hot water. The dishes were all dirty. We wrote to the owner, asked for a refund, he refused and did not contact us again. He promised to bring toilet paper and brought nothing. This is the most terrible thing that has happened in our lives. I do not recommend this homeless shelter to anyone.I have photographs that prove that I am right.
- Karahasanoğlu (1/5): - Tam bir dolandırıcı
- Alexandru Bogdan (3/5): - La posizione è molto buona,peccato per i parcheggi Lenzuola tutte sporche e non c’era l’acqua calda
- László (1/5): Csalódás - Nehézkes kapcsolat. Telefonon kommunikáltunk. Bajutáshoz videós segítséget kaptunk. A videóban szereplő kód nem volt jó. Utána egy üzenetben kaptuk a helyes kódot. A szálláson nem volt ágynemű, WC papír, törölköző. Jeleztem. Azt az ígéretet kaptam, hogy pótolja.
Nem pótolta. Elérhetetlenné vált. A kézmosóban nem folyt le a víz. Plafonon pókháló. Huzat nélküli párna foltos.
- Michał (1/5): Nikomu nie polecam - W obiekcie było brudno, nie były uprane pościele Brud i obsikane materace
- Szabolcs (1/5): THE WORST ACCOMMODATION EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE - This place was an absolute nightmare. The host was completely unresponsive, ignored calls, hung up, and took forever to reply to messages if they replied at all. Total communication disaster.
When I finally managed to get there, the place was DISGUSTING. It smelled awful, was filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The bed wasn’t even made, the pillow and blanket were just thrown there WITHOUT ANY SHEETS OR COVERS. Both the bed and the sofa were stained and incredibly dirty. No way I could sleep there. I had to leave and find another place last minute.
I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. I seriously hope Booking bans them permanently. A complete disgrace and something to avoid at all costs
- Larysa (3/5): Poor - To summarize my stay in this apartment: desperate attempts to get answers from the owner.
We flew into Budapest at 23:00, by the time we landed there were still NO details on how to check in.
When we had already gotten into a taxi and he finally sent details to us.
Next, when we entered the apartment we were met with a “vintage” cigarette-smoking apartment and a bag of garbage in the middle of the apartment.
We wrote about where to put the trash and asked for the password to the wi-fi. The next day and throughout the day the owner of the apartment never replied to us. very nice, thank you.
I have never seen such an attitude, if you do not want to stink of cigarettes and feel ignored - do not stay in these apartments.
- Jerome (4/5): Disappointing Stay – Poor Communication & Basic Essentials Lacking - Beautiful space I really wanted to enjoy my stay, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. The host was not helpful at all, and at times, I almost had to beg for communication regarding the issues I was experiencing. This lack of responsiveness made an already frustrating situation even worse.
The condition of the space was also disappointing. There was a persistent moldy water smell in the bathroom, and the water heater was leaking. The linens didn’t seem to have been refreshed from the previous guest, and to make matters worse, the indoor temperature was uncomfortably cold. Basic essentials were missing—there was no toilet paper provided, cleaning supplies were left in the walkway, and while a microwave was available, it didn’t even work.
Overall, this stay was far from comfortable. I truly hope the host improves both the property and their communication because, as it stands, I wouldn’t recommend booking this place.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Burçin (9/5): Superb -
- Karolina (1/5): Nice location but very dirty - Central location - Water was dripping from the boiler
- Bathroom was dirty and the toiletries were not provided
- Check in was delayed 1h
- It was overall poorly cleaned: lots of dust, dirty socks on radiator, dirty dishes and full trashcan
- Renata (1/5): Terrible, do not book. - The apartment itself is well decorated. The behaviour of the host is extremely poor. Upon check in, he let us know that we shouldn’t hesitate to ask for anything and immediately after completely ghosted us leaving us with zero toilet paper for the whole stay. We accidentally left behind a valuable in the apartment and we contacted the host who finally replied, albeit sporadically, and in the end ghosted once again and left us hanging even after many calls and texts to him. We contacted booking.com who also tried reaching out to the host with no luck. Here’s to hoping they ban the host as most of the reviews show a similar experience. As well, the apartment was not clean and the shower would leak onto the floor.
- Abdulrhem (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (8/5): Central beautiful “homely” apartment - Lovely apartment, very comfortable. Didn’t realise there were no toiletries provided but there is a supermarket around the corner. Didn’t hear from the host before arriving but once at the apartment, he was very responsive to my message and I immediately received the codes to enter and get the keys from a lock box at the apartment. VERY central location, fully furnished apartment with everything else provided. Would definitely stay there again Basic toiletries not provided (shower gel/ toilet paper)
- Michail (10/5): Vfm!! - Very nice and warm apartment, at the best place of Budapest!
- Daria (4/5): Disappointed - Booked this apartment because the location is close to the city centre. From the pros: it had a hitting for the colder days and is quite spacious. Well, the staff seems wasn’t going to send the instructions until I called the number I googled. They didn’t reply to my messages that I sent a day in advance and the same day. After the call, they finally messaged me on imessages.
About the apartment, it was okay, just dusty, but the shower in the bathroom is completely broken! The water was spraying from the middle of the shower hose. They also didn’t have proper soap, just heavily watered down liquid instead. The whole experience was troublesome.
- Matthew (9/5): Lovely space, authentically European feel, comfortable - Historic feel, modern luxury
- Claudia (10/5): Exceptional - the decor
- Ming (3/5): the description of the property isn’t accurate. - Good location . AC wasn’t functional. Unclean bed sheet. No front desk service. No light in Stairway. Lack response to customer’s SMS and Call.
- Mykyta (1/5): Terribly Dirty Apartment - Avoid at All Costs!!! - None Our stay at this apartment was an absolute nightmare. The place was filthy beyond belief, as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. The carpets were stained and grimy, the floors were sticky and covered in dust, and we found large clumps of hair all over the place.
The bedding was torn, dirty, and hadn’t been changed before our arrival, which led to me contracting a horrible eye infection that I’ve been battling for a week now. Despite booking for four people, we were only given two towels, both of which were also torn. The kitchenware was dirty, and there were no basic essentials provided in the bathroom or kitchen.
The apartment has a "vintage" feel, but that seems to just refer to the thick layer of dust covering all the furniture and artificial plants. My son couldn’t stop sneezing and coughing due to the dust.
When I reached out to the host to address these issues, my messages were completely ignored. This place desperately needs a deep clean. Stay away if you value your health and comfort!
- Stefano (2/5): Very poor - Great central location. Unfortunately, we had a few problems at the apartment. When we arrived there were only 2 bath towels and 1 hand towel, clearly not enough for a family of 4 staying 4 nights! They had also left us very little toilet paper (1 roll that was almost finished) and the air conditioning wasn’t working well.
Contacting the owner was virtually impossible as our calls were not answered and we only got replies to the messages we sent the following day, promising the missing items would be brought asap. The AC issue was ignored amd it was really hot! It was only on the 3rd day that we received a photo of the towels on the doorstep (even if we had agreed on meeting at a certain time!). They had been put in an open, unsealable shopping bag and left outside, therefore very unhygienic!)
Also, the apartment wasn’t very clean and the sheets on the sofabed were old and ripped in a couple of places.
We definitely won’t be returning to this apartment!
- Simona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hoanglong96 (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious flat. Location in the center. Everything good
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional - The design inside the apartment! It was quite warm inside - but that’s to be expected in summer heat
- Gianluca (1/5): People entered in the flat without my authorization during my stay - The location - When I arrived there were no towels;
- When I arrived there was no toilet paper (the two rolls left on the washing machine were completely wet, one was yellowish and I don't want to think about where it could have fallen);
- Air condition was not working for most of my stay (more than 3 days out of 4 days I stayed), and we are in the hottest period of year with temperature around 30 degrees;
- The 3rd day out of 4 of my stay, 3 people entered in the flat WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION (the door was locked but they had the flat keys with them) while I was sleeping to fix the air condition and they stayed 2 hours and a half working there;
I have already contacted the Property Manager to explain my reasons and request a refund as a sort of compensation for what happened.
But he didn't agree to issue a refund and he didn't even ask sorry for what happened, giving me the feeling that entering in the flat without the host authorization was not even an accident but something they normally do.
So I am trying directly with Booking.com Customer Service now.
- Viktor (7/5): Nice stay in the middle of Budapest, a little too vintage for my taste, but good never the less - The location was very close to the centre of Pest (Budapest). The apartment was spacious and on quiet street away from the crowds. The interior was beautiful and vintage, decorated with taste. The air-conditioning unit is out of freon, and needs a technician to come and fix it since it does not blow cold air, hence the temperature in the apartment was quite high making it hard to sleep.
The shower head rubber pipe had burst, hence the shower was spraying water everywhere. I am handy so I fixed it, since I’ve been in that situation at home several times and it happens.
Some of the furniture was quite old… I know the vibe is vintage, however vintage is an interior style, and some of the furniture was just old and was a bit uncomfortable, like the bed which was squeaking, I fixed it as well, but it does need replacing, as well as better sheets
- Pavla (9/5): Superb -
- Tania (7/5): Great value for money but please fix the shower at least - The location was absolutely stunning, easy to get to any part of the city Broken shower and squeaky bed
- Bars (10/5): Exceptional -
- Georgii (9/5): Superb -
- Hamish (8/5): Very good -
- Christon (10/5): Exceptional - Flat was beautiful, really well located
- Emir (10/5): perfect - her şeyi
- Andrei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pierre (10/5): great stay - Very nice place, we have no words to explain how this appartment is so well decorated with good taste
- Pablo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Violeta (6/5): Pleasant - The location is perfect and the flat is very cozy and warm. It has enough space to stay with the friend. The shower is broken and very hard to close the door. It's impossible to properly take a shower.
Almost 0 facilities in the kitchen.
The most important and disappointing the bed sheets. There are already holes in it and it is time to throw them away.
- Renata (3/5): Disappointed! - Only the location! First of all the apartment had no lift which was very difficult with a baby, buggy, suitcases and all! The bug issue was the bedroom window which was drafty to say the least. Old windows and almost impossible to close. Was hard with the baby.
Other big issue was that after calling around 13:00 to ask for a bit of an early check in we were told it’s not possible and just got the code to the apartment exactly at 15:00. Would have meant a lot even to check in a few minutes (never mind an hour or so) earlier as we travelled all day.
Our baby is crawling so quickly we realized that under the bed it’s very very dirty and had to keep baby away. Wasn’t up to standard!
The host of the apartment kept massaging and called (after we left) to ask if everything was okay and wanted us to leave 10 ratings. Found it a bit much.
- Nadine (9/5): Superb -
- Arun (6/5): Not as expected - Vintage Air conditioning didn’t work shower 🚿 is didn’t work it was told
- Mila (10/5): Exceptional -
- Δημητρης (3/5): Disappointment - The location is perfect! ZERO HYGIENE!nobody really cleaned the shower from the previous guest.I could see foam stains and hair all over the floor and I had to clean it all myself . The shower cabin was broken and pretty old and taking a shower is an adventure..be really careful with this.Also another bitter surprise was that there wasnt any toilet paper..
- Гатева (10/5): Exceptional -
- Serdar (2/5): I do not recommend, they have to change their mind - Good location, it’s almost 1 km to parliament buildings. Before start, quick suggestion to apartment owner; boys if you would like to earn money from this job, you have to care your job your apartment. Let’s continue;
First, they didn’t contact with me for check-in instructions. I wrote to them at reservation evening and then they send me some videos from whatsapp that about how I enter apartment. You have to inform people before reservation day.
When we enter the room, we realized that they didn’t change badlinen in the bedroom. I wrote and they took into next day clean bedlinen. They apologize but it was too late. It didn’t last thing; entire apartment has cleaning problem. We didn’t even sit comfortably in sofa. Bad, sofa, kitchen, bathroom everywhere are very dirty. It was disgusting. I am not sure when they clean lastly. I attached photos. If they clean the entire apartment deeply it was ok but until then keep away.
- Ronald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (8/5): Lovely flat in the centre of Budapest - The apartment is beautiful and in a great central location. It’s very silent at night so we slept really well.
