Monastery Boutique Hotel Budapest

The hotel is in a very good location, right on the Danube River, with the Parliament building just across the river. The surrounding buildings are very tall and grand, and the famous Fisherman's Bastion is on the mountain behind. The hotel is quiet in a busy area, the rooms and facilities are very new, and although the breakfast variety is not particularly large, it has everything you need.

The structure has a convenient location because it is close enough to tram and metro stops, about ten minutes walk from the Ponte delle Corde and some restaurants. It is a beautiful building, in a clean and elegant area. Inside, in the reception, the environment is very welcoming and furnished in a modern way. The common spaces are also bright, well decorated. The room is essential, quite small in size, pleasantly furnished with beautiful fixtures capable of isolating from external noise. The bathroom is modern, has a well-structured walk-in shower in which the rest of the room hardly gets wet. The staff is very kind and helpful, they immediately responded to our requests even when the request was to change our room due to a persistent unpleasant smell. But let's move on to the weak points, because unfortunately the hotel has potential that is currently unexpressed. First of all, it could be much cleaner: the corridor had several crumbs and food residues on the carpet, during our four day stay it was never completely cleaned. The carpet in our room had several stains - an unfortunate choice for long-pile carpet in a hotel room - so I never felt comfortable walking barefoot. Secondly, evidently the monastery was not built with air exchange principles, so there is a stagnant air in the entire structure that you can smell when you return to the room. After having to change rooms due to a strong musty smell, we had to air out the new one every night before going to sleep. The same in the stairs. Last point, breakfast. Decent in choice and good in quality, but not worth the cost.
