"After opening in 1991, owner Károly Szombati has accumulated 73 apartments in a group of buildings in a less-than-eye-appealing Buda-side neighborhood." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Rooms on the quiet side of the building do not suffer from traffic noise in the morning. The hotel’s restaurant is very good, and breakfast is a real treat."
Rough Guide
"On the hill up from the Erzsébet híd on the main road to Vienna, this friendly apartment hotel was one of the first of its kind in the city."
