"This is a chain hotel, found all over the world, and the Budapest location is quite large compared to others in Europe. The hotel's location depends on personal preference. It's situated on a bustling commercial pedestrian street with many shops and restaurants, vibrant from 10 AM until midnight. Most attractions (except for the thermal baths) are about a 10-minute walk away. The breakfast was decent and offered a good variety.
The downside of this hotel is that it's a bit far from public transportation and it's quite noisy. You enter directly into a bar, and the front desk, which consists of three simple tables, is past that. Around 11:40 PM, someone started banging loudly on my door, waking me up. I asked who it was and why they were knocking, but they didn't answer, just kept banging. It was probably a drunk person. I called the front desk, and it took a while for someone to pick up. When they finally did, I explained that someone was knocking on my door and I didn't know who it was, asking them to come check. The staff member said they didn't know who it was either and then dismissed my concern. Luckily, the person eventually left. This kind of service attitude is unacceptable, especially given the potential safety issue. I definitely won't be staying at this hotel again on my next trip to Budapest."
