Excellent stay near Keleti Station

24-hour receptionsmooth check-inquiet roomconvenient location
The 24-hour reception was quite convenient for my late arrival. Check-in went smoothly and quickly, which i appreciated. The room i received was clean and quiet. The hotel's location is a short 10-minute walk from Keleti Railway Station.
The shower in my room drained a bit slowly, a minor inconvenience. Also the soap dispenser was empty.

The room I got was small. There was barely enough space to move around. The air conditioning made strange noises all night. It was hard to sleep. Breakfast was not good, the pastries were hard and not flavorful. I would not stay here again.

The bus stop located right outside proved convenient. I found exploring the city center easy. Reception booked spa tickets and this saved a lot of time. The room was cleaned and provided fresh towels daily.
