    A good place if you want a cheap place to crash close to the center, and you are not very picky.

    The interior of the room was ran down, seems there was no renovation since the photos were taken about 10 years ago. I stayed at this place about 8 years ago and the quality definitely went down. There were splash marks on the walls, the courtain rods were falling apart, the wall next to the bed was covered by some weird transparent plastic, the shower pan was leaking, the washbasin got clogged, and the bathroom fan made a very annoying noise. The room was generally clean, but out of sight places were dirty, and the bathroom smelled bad.

    Great central location, cheap. When the washbasin got clogged, I left a note and it got fixed during the next cleaning.

    They don’t tell you you have to walk to a different address to check in. We only found this out once we had walked to the provided address then had to walk to another “guesthouse” with a different name. The buildings “smoking” area was also right outside the rooms only window so smelt quite bad.

    Room was simple but everything you need

    The address given in booking is not well indicated and is difficult to find it easily, in addition you have to go to an office that is not on site.

    the property is located in the center of the city, easy means of transport (bus, metro, tram); large room, fair price, quiet place, easy access.

    When We arrived We found 5 halfsmoked cigarettes laying on The floor next to The bed. The sheet was kind of dirty and The laundrette did not smell clean. The room smelled of cigarettes.

    The location was good. Close to everything. The guesthouse was in a backyard so it was really quiet.

    no wifi password written anywhere, I desperately needed to use my computer in order to buy train ticket and my both phones were dead as I didn’t have my charger with me I thought I would not need them since I was traveling light between my two homes (this was a good lecture to always carry the charger;). I had to call the receptionist who was bit further away, we improvised, I had to search for the router/modem box in order to log in🤦‍♀️ i used to run my own airbnb before, every guest I had was always asking for the wifi password, I had it disposed in many visible places as well written on my profile. I highly recommend the people who run this place to fo so too.

    it was out of necessity that I stayed overnight because we had a big delay in our flight from Brussels so I missed my connection bus to Bratislava and I needed to stay somewhere near the train station in order to take the first train to Bratislava.

    Room was absolutely not as on the picture. Wals, chairs, lamp were dirty. Very dirty! See pictures. However, in booking pictures they write "colorful interior design" and give nice pictures, in reality it is not like this. No proper instructions,maps on how to actually find the locker and door ( so I was searching the dark yard to find). Impossible to guess that they send you locker code to email. Guesthouse adress in their app is misleading. Communication with host was poor - they are not helpful, in chat they dont answer questions, via phone they are not happy to hear you.

    Very good location near train station and very good heating. Entrance to the apartment via key in the locker so you can get in any time in the night

    The room was very dirty, it wasn’t even vacuumed properly, the towels didn’t smell clean, the slatted base of the bed was broken. Thirty minutes before I needed to check out, a lady knocked on my to ask at what time I was gonna check out. To which I replied ‘in 30 mins, when I need to’. And 15 mins after that she knocked on my door again to ask when I was gonna check out. This was very annoying, because I was getting dressed. She stayed behind the door until I checked out. I felt very rushed.

    I couldn’t find the room and contacted the give phone number via whatsapp. A woman called me and she was very kind.

    I've been to many places in different countries but this is the worst accommodation I've ever been in. Highly NOT recommend because: - Photos of the rooms don't mach the reality. - Bed is very uncomfortable even beyond that word. I don't know how can be possible in this century to have a mattress with springs without any soft pad on it. Never thought it's so hard to buy cheap and normal mattress. Bed sheets aren't comfy and are very thin. Hopefully there weren't bed bugs. - I don't get it what tactic is it to turn off the heating overnight when it's -4 °C outside. Thanks to that the room was very cold and we "slept" with every clothes and jackets on. Like a bloody homeless ppl. Even sleeping in train is more comfortable. - Bathroom is nice compared to the rest of the room though sink drain is almost completely clogged. - There is dust everywhere, spider webs and about 7 spiders. So, in short term, don't buy it not even for one night stand. It's not wort the money.

    Location near Keleti railway station is really good, but that's the only good thing about this accommodation

    Listen, this place was really cheap. We didn't expect much. Give us a bed and a bathroom and we'll be fine. I had read the reviews and expected the bare minimum. We came into the room and it seemed alright at first. The walls were white, the windows clean, the bed made and cle- actually. There's that one, two, three, few stains on the mattress. Do I want to know what they are? Better put a towel under me when I sleep. Sleep! The bed was a wire skeleton that, if you positioned yourself correctly, perfectly interlaced with you ripcage. If not, it became an unconsensually applied nailbed. Then the cobwebs and accompanying spiders, which at least stayed put. The floor was crumb-y. We preferred to wear socks inside or walk on tiptoes at all times. The bathroom at second glance lacked some basic factors, like being free of mold on the tiles. Oh, and cockroaches. The toilet smelled funny. The whole place smelled funny. We saw no one in the kitchen during our whole stay, because most probably no one wanted to spend more time than absolutely necessary in that hellhole. I had this weird feeling wash over me every time I entered our room, which I later recognized it as disgust. I am very relieved to be out of here now. Listen. HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS IN THE CUTEST BUILDING IMAGINABLE AND MAKE THE EXPERIENCE THIS ABOMINABLE?! Do you give that little of a damn about the guests? Can this place get shut down by a hygiene institution? Can I get licensed to become a hygiene institution and shut this place down??

    Lage, das Gebäude. Die drei Spinnen im Zimmer haben sich zum Glück drei Tage lang nicht bewegt.
