Hotels near Ethnosound Worldsmusic Store, Budapest

Stayed here for 2 nights, the building is located in quite a convenient area with choices of public transport. It appears to be quite a newly renovated building, it stands out to be the most well-kept building in the whole street. I booked the Classic Double Room, Balcony with breakfast. I wouldn’t say the balcony is in many ways functional, it is very narrow and it is mainly used for people who want to smoke as there is an outdoor ashtray there. The room itself is modern, well kept, and didn’t show any particular wear so far. There are several issues I found with the room, the air conditioning works quite well but it is manually operated, when I left it in ‘auto’ mode it was quite loud. In the evening I set it to low fan speed but it just created a constant quite irritating fan noise which went away when I set the fan speed to medium. I also dislike the curtains, the blackout material doesn’t reach all the way up it leaves around a 2cm gap so the room is quite light in the morning. I tend not to sleep well when the room isn’t dark. I used the coffee machine in the room, but the coffee machine doesn’t work properly, despite I pressed the “full cup” function the machine only made around 10ml of coffee despite I keep pressing the button it would not make enough coffee to drink. When I returned to the room the next day the used coffee pod is still very much in the machine when I wanted to try the machine again which isn’t ideal when the housekeeper hasn’t checked the machine. The dirty cup was changed. Breakfast is at the basement restaurant, the selection of food is quite good and it was kept refreshed during breakfast. The reception staff were polite and spoke good English. Overall, I felt the room is modern, location is not bad but I felt the overall attention to detail is somewhat lacking such as the curtains doesn’t block out the light, noisy air conditioning, and the cleaning routine not involving checking the coffee machine. I don’t necessarily not recommend it but there are a few problems.

I really liked this hostel for a number of reasons. We booked it on booking and could cancel the reservation up to 2 days prior the date of arrival, which is great, and you can pay on arrival (with forints or by card). The staff is pleasant and informative, the whole place is clean and spacious, and the plants give such a nice vibe. We stayed at room with 8 beds (bunk beds). Every bed has a curtain, small shelf, 2 electrical outlets, a lamp and a small cabinet. You can also have a larger trunk beneath the bed, which comes with a lock (it's free of charge). Towels can be rented for €2. Every floor has a bathroom with several showers, toilets and sinks; everything is cleaned daily. The floor where most rooms are has a small kitchen, but on the main floor there is a really big kitchen, study room, game room, living room and every one of them is spacious and airy. Rooms and the hostel door open with a card which you get upon checking-in. The location of the hostel is great, it's next to a city market and around 10 minutes from Vaci street and metro station. Next time I come to Budapest I won't look for any other accommodation, I'm definitely coming back to Flow!

The hotel is conveniently located very close to public transportation. The tram is right across the street and the Metro station just a short walk away. You can also walk across to the other side of town where all the stores and restaurants are by using the Chain Bridge. However the bridge was closed for pedestrians last month, not sure if it is now open. Our room was a good size and we had a beautiful view of the Danube river and the Parliament. The small balcony outside our window needed to be cleaned though, as there were spider webs everywhere. Realized that after I stuck my head outside to look at the view.. You can also look outside the window in the hallway when you get off the elevators. It has a nice view of the castle at night. Bathroom was fine, there was a nice bathtub with a nice shower but I found the bathtub very high and it took me extra effort to climb in and out. Never had that problem before but for some reason this tub was not easy to climb into. The breakfast had many yummy choices. There were not many changes in what they offered everyday, but still they had many choices and also many different coffees you could prepare on the machine. Front desk staff were cordial and one young man in particular was very helpful with everything that we needed. I don't remember his name but he was in his 30s I believe with a goatie. All in all we enjoyed our stay! The only thing we wished is that this hotel had a pool, but oh well!

The hardware of the hotel is good, the price/performance ratio is good, and the location is a little bit off, but if you have a traffic ticket, the traffic at the door is still very convenient. The only disgusting thing is the service of the hotel. The door card is inexplicably swiped repeatedly, and you have to go upstairs every day Swipe the door card repeatedly, sometimes the door still can't be opened. When we checked out, we were inexplicably charged for the phone bill, which cost dozens of dollars. It was strange to ask why, saying that we answered a call from a local friend. At that time, I was confused. Do I have to charge for answering the phone? The hotel manager explained that only room-to-room calls are free. After staying in the hotel for so many years, this is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing.

Really nice place, metro to city centre 5mins around the corner, good breakfast, they can control the weather, full marks.

The hotel was good and the location is really close to the metro station. Surrounded with supermarket and some restaurants. But the service is so poor. I booked the bus with the night staff to airport and he didn’t ask me to pay. He just wrote down my name and my room number. Then the day after, I went to check again and I met another staff. She told me that the booking was cancelled because I didn’t pay. I told her, I didn’t know we have to pay because your colleague didn’t told me to and he said it’s fine. Then she said sorry it’s not her fault coz I didn’t pay. She said sorry but with the expression like no sorry. So if you happen to stay there, and book the bus remember to tell the staff that you want to pay even if they didn’t tell you to.

On my way to France I stoped for one night in Budapest. Baross City Hotel is the place I Ialways choose. This hotel is located near the train station Budapest Keleti and also very near to the center of the town. Staff is friendly, rooms cozy and very clean and the breakfast is excellent.

The hotel is very beautiful and modern and the staff very welcoming. not knowing the city, they do not hesitate to advise me on places to visit and explain to me how to get around with public transport. The room was very comfortable and modern corresponding to all my expectations. The only small negative point that I could cite is the restricted opening hours of the restaurant and the bar. Taking into account the neighborhood (8th arrondissement), I would have preferred to eat at the hotel than to have to go out or order. In summary, a great stay and can't wait to come back!

We had an amazing time at UP hotel Budapest. Staff are polite and professional, our room and the hotel were clean, breakfast were good selections of foods and drinks and dinner at the restaurant were excellent. They don’t have kid’s menu so they provided pasta based on my child’s request. My child really enjoyed eating them.I definitely recommend UP hotel Budapest and would like to go back one day.
