District XXII Vacations from $302

Didn't have breakfast with my booking. Room was clean and tidy. Only thing is that the only English channels on TV were news.

I had the luxury of spending 6 nights in Budapest and was happy to have stayed on the Buda side at this hotel for a few nights for easy access to the castle, etc. Really charming hotel and lovely, helpful staff. Rooms were clean, nicely laid out, and spacious enough, The hotel was within easy walking distance of a shopping mall and the trams as well as the castle. I even walked to the Citadel from there one day (definitely worth visiting). The #16/#16A buses are right down the street, as is the #5. Between the buses and the trams and the BudapestGo app, it was ridiculously easy and convenient to get around both the Castle district and the Pest side. (I'm someone who enjoys walking and typically eschews public transport in new cities, but the recent heat made public transport essential, and I was really impressed with the reliability of the app and frequency of options.) The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were a few things in the room that were broken (e.g., shower spray head not working, kettle lever needing to be held down in order to boil water) that I felt should have been discovered during routine inspections. For sure had I mentioned it earlier during my stay they would have fixed it (like they did the shower head for my friend's room) but I didn't want to be bothered and it was fine.

We had a great stay. The staff were very welcome and very helpful. It was very well located. It is an older building which adds to the character of the place. The air con worked very well during a heat wave. If blinds were left closed during the day, you just need air con in the evening and not all night.
