Opinions STORIES BOUTIQUE HOTEL Budapest

Loved it! Very great hotel. The room was nice and spacious. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the breakfast also was very nice. Would go again.

Hotel davvero carino, nel cuore della città, nel quartiere ebraico, vivo e pieno di locali, a due passi dal noto Szimpla Kert! La fermata della metro, come anche il capolinea del bus che porta all'aeroporto, sono davvero vicini! Camere pulite, personale disponibile, design curato. Alla reception si trova un piccolo angolo a disposizione degli ospiti in cui poter prendere gratuitamente un caffè, cappuccino, tè, con biscottini, caramelle e altro. In camera, a disposizione due bottigliette d'acqua, fornite ogni mattina. Al piano terra si trova il Twentysix, uno dei locali più belli e gettonati di Budapest (infatti c'è sempre la fila), dove viene servita la colazione dell'hotel. Il menù è alla carta, ottimi i pancake. Ne abbiamo approfittato anche per cenare due volte e, nel complesso, si è mangiato abbastanza bene.

"Staying at this fantastic boutique hotel in Budapest was an absolute delight. The ambiance was wonderful, the junior suite spacious, and the breakfast venue and spread were top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly, adding a personal touch to the experience. I would gladly stay here again. Located in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and within walking distance to all the sights, it was the perfect choice for me and my family."

Google really seems to hate me reviewing things in Budapest on my other email address for some reason, so I'm reviewing it again here. The other one is, as of now, not available and seems unappealable.

This hotel was great. Loved the quirky room, the restaurant, and the location is really what did it for me. My only minor complaint is a fire alarm in the middle of the night in the restaurant going off for a while but beyond that, I'll be staying here again.

Yup, this is another one of those hotels designed for pretty pictures but not for staying comfortably... While the building and atrium are stunning, the room design really isn't great.

First of all, in the "suites", the steel stairs are very loud both inside and outside the room. So when your neighbor tumbles down the stairs at 4am to go to the bathroom, you definitely hear them.

Then it should be noted that the fridge only works when a keycard is inserted... Which is not how fridges work! The beverages are always lukewarm. Who thought of this? This is such a terrible idea.

Then there is the general maintenance, from questionable stains on the insanely uncomfortable sofa, to several slightly broken or severely worn out fixtures in the bathroom.

So yeah, this hotel does look pretty good on pictures but functionally it really isn't that great.

פשוט חלום. הילדים עפו על המלון. כמו סיפור מהאגדות. 2 קומות בחדר אחד. סלון גדול. ארוחת בוקר חובה להזמין. שתבינו זאת ארוחת בוקר של מסעדה שעומדים אלה בתור המונים מכל האזור. מושלם

The location is excellent when it comes to seeing Budapest but beacuse there are a lot of restaurants and bars it is a bit noise at night especially on weekends

Fantastic hotel in very central location, near restaurants. Excellent service, best Ive experienced. Looking forward to returning!

A mixed experience is perhaps the best summary. Upon arrival, the room was very hot and the ac didn't seem to work. Staff tried their very best to fix but we ended up in a different room for night which was slightly cooler. 2nd night was even worse. And it appeared that the ac was unfixable... staff helped us canceling for the night and rebooked us into hotel down the block. Too bad, cos the places is stunning. The interior garden is beautiful and drinks and breakfast are very good. If ac worked, it would get 5 stars..

Ottimo hotel per servizi e posizione. Qualità e pulizia sono stati impeccabili l’unica piccola pecca è il rumore notturno, ma penso sia normale per la sua posizione centralissima. 5 stelle per la bellezza dell’area centrale e del verde.

Úžasné miesto

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff! Amazing location - we didn’t even need our metro tickets because everything was in about 30 min (absolute max.) walking distance :)

Unfortunately we had a really bad experience at the stories hotel. We had in advanced read the good reviews and were disappointed from the beginning. We arrived around 19, no staff to be found and we waited a 10 minutes before any showed in the reception.
The hostess was polite and apologised. She showed us to the room, upon entering the room the first thing that meet us was the smell of rotten sewage. The hostess didn’t seem to notice. So the drain in the bathroom must have been clogged because it really stank. To get some fresh air in we opened the window, only to discover that the planters outside our window had been used as an ashtray from previous guests. So instead of fresh air, there’s a distinct smell of old cigarets.

After dinner we decided that we would address the problems with the hostess. She was again polite but that didn’t really helped us. She said that all superior room were booked and the best she could do was an air freshener. She came back with a tiny sent diffuser and we were left with sleeping in a disgusting smell.

I would have hoped that she could a least upgrade us to another room that night, if any in our price range wasn’t available. But unfortunately she did not. She told us to wait for cleaning the next day. We were left with a feeling of ‘deal with it yourself’.

Next morning we decided to check out, even though we were supposed to stay there two more nights.
The morning receptionist was informed about the smell but didn’t accommodate any kind of compensation for our situation. And couldn’t tell us if
we were able to at least get our money back for the additional two nights we where supposed to stay there.
We were proposed a free cab, which we declined since we didn’t know where to go yet. A poor redemption for paying to stay in the smell of sewage all night.

We were perhaps unlucky, and i hope that this doesn’t happen regularly. But the general look and feel of the room wasn’t good either. Bathroom door was water damaged from open shower. Which also showed on the carpet in the room. The doorframe likewise.
Lights in the room were blinding you, not really comfortable at all. The fixed furniture was scratched and worn.
This could have been overlooked but in the light of an unhygienic and unmaintained room, it just made it all worse.

Πολυ μικρα δωματια πολυ υπερτιμημένο πρωινο !
Το κρεββατι σκληρο με πολυ αβολα μαξιλαρια!
Υπερτιμημενο γενικα ακριβο για αυτα που προσφερει

atendimento e decoração impecaveis
localização otima
amamos budapeste e ainda mais o hotel

Can't complain about anything! Everything was simply great!

First thank you to everyone of the young crew that makes the stay even greater with their friendliness and natural openness!

Second, if you have the chance to book the Presidential suite, then do it! It's worth every cent and I would always do it again. The only problem, you just don't want to leave the room anymore!

Location is perfect. Everything is super close and located in a stunning and beautiful hall with great food (breakfast)!

Looking forward to our next stay :)

Cute hotel and well located. The picture of the jungly patio is from the restaurant located downstairs and it’s not part of the hotel, still they have a deal with them so you can have breakfast there. I stayed in a large room wich surprisingly felt a bit claustrophobic when you open the curtains, no view and tiny windows. The girls at the reception were very sweet and helpful, and the hotel provides candies and fruits around. The quality of the bed was very mediocre, they should definitely invest in good quality mattress and not only decoration. Last thing to notice is the hoursekeeping, the room doesn’t seem that clean especially the floors, if you walk around in white socks you’ll understand what I am talking about…

الفندق شكل جمالي يفتقر للراحه وازعاج من الصباح الباكر وطول اليوم افتقدت الراحه حتى مع تغيير الغرفه

Buon albergo, in una suite per quattro persone, però, avrei gradito un trattamento più equo per i letti… due letti, di cui uno un materasso a terra con cuscini troppo soffici. Per il resto, ottimo hotel, consigliato, personale cordiale e preciso, design audace ma molto intrigante. Buona la colazione, non troppo varia la scelta, però.

Το κατάλυμα παίρνει αξία από το πολύ γνωστό καφέ μπαρ Twentysix που βρίσκεται στο ισογειο. Κατά τα αλλά δεν είναι καθαρό, ούτε οι διάδρομοι αλλά ούτε το δωμάτιο. Επίσης παρόλο που ειναι 10 λεπτά από τη fashion street ( ο κεντρικός δρόμος) η τιμή του είναι αντίστοιχη με καταλυματα που βρίσκονται ακριβώς δίπλα στην fashion street.

Το πρωινό στο Twentysix μετριότατο

Στα θετικα η διακόσμηση των δωματίων και οι μεγάλοι χώροι τους.

Superbe hôtel, bien situé avec un superbe service.
Le restaurant très populaire en dessous est surcôté.

Posizione ottima, nel pieno centro della città ideale per giovani che vogliono divertirsi.
Comodissimo il bar e ristorante interno il più chic di Budapest, eviti file di ore che arrivano persone da tt Budapest x visitarlo e degustare un break fast.
Camere suggestive e personale simpatico e disponibile.
