Very good location near the center
Little bit small bathroom
3.0
The room itself looked neat and bathroom was clean except for mold in the shower. There were cups and some tablewear, and hotplate for cooking. Owners were responsive to the feedback and gave a partial refund when I left early.
The ground floor room smelled of cigarette smoke and mold, was damp and dark with no natural light. Shower door is full of mold. Ventilation is poor. The garden was not like in photos - it is partly abandoned building ruin site with dry leaves, leftover dead flower pots and carelessly left gardening equipment and what looked like empty pet cages. There was smoking table with ashtray right behind my only window. Mushrooms were growing out of pavement. Strong smell prevented from sleeping at night, so I had to cut my stay short.

From the airport, take the 100E airport bus and then the bus 9 to Margit hid, budai hidfo. It is not far from the stop but you may feel it is a bit of walk when you are dragging luggage. I've stayed at room 2 in an apartment with 3 rooms upstairs. The kitchen and so called living room are shared. Own fridge and kettle in the room is very useful. WiFi works perfect. Large windows. AC installed. Relatively new shower booth. Hairdryer, shampoo and bodymilk? are provided. The whole building is quite old and that's the appealing point of this property, so if you expect spotless clean room, better book a fancy hotel. It is very quiet at night, and there is another door between the room door and the bedroom so you barely hear noise from the other rooms. There are two public spa within walking distance.
It would be better if the room has a proper curtain for the window. It is almost see-through. To be fair, the ceiling window has a blind. The bathroom is tiny (But very functioning!) so some people may feel quite tight. I am not big but I still hit my elbows a few times when I was taking a shower. The living room and the kitchen are considered as a common area, and it is dark even at daytime. No condiment or tea/coffee whatsoever while at least cutlery and kitchen tools are provided. The stairs to the rooms can be quite a bit of challenging when you have a big luggage. It is so narrow and steep. Luckily I only had a small trolley so that was not a problem for me. Personally I felt a bit nostalgic as my grandmother's house used to have this type of stairs. :) The old building consists of a few small apartments. So old that the stairs and floors squeak sometimes, and built-in closet and the second door don't close until you push it so hard. I didn't mind them but it may bother to some. Lastly, I see some comments on the garden in front, and indeed it can be improved a lot if the owner wishes, but it doesn't bother me as I just pass by when I go out and come back.

The bad below and near the ciling
7.0
The location is good, rather close to public transport, but the area is not vital in Buda. If the duration is short, there is no problem
with that bed is comfortable and the bathroom is large and contains everything you need.
Easy check-in and automatic check-out
The kitchen is small and narrow, but it fulfils the purpose with all the equipment. You may also have trouble drying clothes while not turning on the heating.
7.0
Great location. Roof window in the room. Big dining area at the first floor. Washing machine, all the needed kitchenware. Additional kettle in the room.
It was quiet at night, although the location isn't far away from busy streets.
Rattling doors, creaky floors. Unforgivably simple interior, rubbish wardrobe.
8.0
A cozy flat with an attractive little garden. A comfortable bed, good couch and dining table / chairs, decent bathroom, washing machine and a small kitchen with all the basics you need. A great location. A really interesting neighbourhood with plenty of places to eat and a very cool combined pub / indi cinema close by. Close to tram stops for easy access to the major sites on both sides of the river. Very good information left by the host on the local area, what to see and visit and how to use public transport.
Based on other reviews it must depend on which flat you end up in but for the one I was in (#5) wi-fi was very poor. A little cold and damp.
4.0
The location of the venue is in a good area, really close to everything but in a quiet district in a picturesque street with great history.
but the place description is inaccurate and does not correspond to the pictures (at least now). The garden is messy and unpleasant, it faces an abandoned ruined barn, which was quite scary to pass in the evening. The room was on the roof floor. There was a weird smell in the room as if someone smoked something in the room (could be the neighbours) or like a mouse died, which was stinking. The room has not been cleaned. The walls have not been painted, the bathroom is quite new but dirty. The bed is of old self -build construction which had a weird smell too, there were strange red stains everywhere, to be fair I don't know if it is blood or the paint they used and didn't wash properly. There was an old dusty blanket with crunches near the bed. The bed linen didn't look fresh at all, so it was not pleasant to sleep in that place at all. Please DO clean the rooms and wash the floor. And clean the dust everywhere. The bathroom needs cleaning, it cannot be used like this. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and it looks that all reviews have been faked. I seriously don't understand what do other people find so cool in this place. I didn't feel okay to touch anything at that place.

It's a perfect spot for single travelers who need quiet a place to take a shower, get dressed and leave in the morning and to come at night and sleep. It's very close to the tram lines and the river where you can enjoy the view of the beautiful parliament building.
There's not a single thing that I did not like. If you read every information written here and take a look at the photos you get what you're told to. I just want you to note that the single attic room is not quite good for big, tall guys as it is a very small room and the ceiling is very low.

Clean place and very good location. Value for money

Location is top, hosts really nice and friendly, we could store our luggage even after the checkout, it was cozy and warm temperature inside the room
I personally need in the winter a thick blanket or even two. Unfortunately there was only one really light one, so I slept with my jacket on 😃.
There was a construction nearby that started around 8am and also the host's kids you could hear early in the morning, so when you have a light sleep you can't sleep too long, but it was not thaaat big problem, but of course I would have preferred to sleep longer.

I stayed in the single room and I really couldn't ask for more. Great location, great price and I had everything I need. The bathroom was clean and despite its size felt very comfortable with everything included (shower, hair dryer, toilet, sink, mirrors).
Some reviews mentioned bad internet connection.
For the single room that's certainly not the case.

The calm part of the city, close to the city center with a nice walk or commute by public transport. When you enter the garden, it is like a fairytale and inside its nice and cozy. We loved it :)

We stayed in the no.8 Apartment and it was amazing in every aspect. Hosts are exceptionaly kind and helpful. They have a special guidebook also. Every room and services were quite clean. Especially bathroom, it was suitable for couple shower :) And the most important point is the spirit of the apartment itself. It felt us very relief and we pushed ourselves to go out . We are sorry since our accomodation duration was only 1 night and could not enjoy enough by resting.

Suprisingly comfortable and well equiped room near to the centre of Buda for a low price. The room has a private kitchen and clean bathroom. It's so easy to get to the room even late at night (a door-code system). It's creatively decorated in an oriental style. The public transportation access is very well, the property is just a few steps from the tram stop and the HEV railway.

Facilities were a bit worn out but in working order. There was broken glass under the bed. There was no fan.

the Host is very helpful and did her best with all our requests.
it’s all a bit old, some powerpoints are not working, people are walking back and forth in front of the window. it’s a fine place for the money, just don’t expect luxury.

Everything was great! Great location, cozy, short walking distance to trams and buses, quiet neighborhood, comfortable, useful kitchen, shops and restaurants nearby, and friendly host. Although I had wifi connection problems, Nora was keen to make it work and easily available.

We just mentioned we are accompanied with our little daughter. They have arranged toys to comfort my daughter. Which made her super happy. they also kept wet wipes for the baby.
They arranged separate cot for my daughter on request. which was also super nice.
We also have the rabbit and fishes on the premises. which is unique and we spent some time there.
Food suggestion on the pamphlet are also good
No cons. we loved ever thing they provided.

Location is very close to a tram stop, so easy access to the rest of the city. The host is very thoughtful and the room itself is very homely and cozy, and has all the appliances you could need on a trip.

THE POSITION OF THE PROPERTY IS EXCELLENT.....CLOSE TO CITY TRAIN STATION, THE THERMAL BATH OF LUKACS AND FOOD AND DRINK SHOPS.
IF YOU LIKE OLD INTERIOR....IT IS A PEFECT PLASE FOR YOU AND 1-3 NIGHTS. OH,YES...MAYBE IT IS THE TIME TO CHANGE THE BLANKETS ECT.

A really warm, inviting, beautiful place in Buda, very close to Margit Bridge. We got on the tram less than a minute from the apartment. Especially for families this place is lovely. With a rabbit, fish, courtyard and cosy living room and well equipped kitchen.
