“Honestly, a really nice stay with excellent value for money. It's a brilliant base, right next to Keleti main rail station, handy for showers while exploring, and close to the train station, subway, restaurants, and a shopping centre. The location was great – short walks to everything we needed. We found a place called Kredenc Bistro nearby and ate there several times.”
