Milford Suites Budapest

We are staying here right now (July 2024) in the middle of a heat wave in Budapest, most days around 100 Fahrenheit. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone as there are thousands of better options. This was not our first choice and we ended up here as our first choice fell through and we needed a place. Here is why we do not recommend it: 1. There’s only air conditioning in the master bedroom, so if you have children sleeping on the pullout in the main room, they will be dying of heat especially in hot weather like we are having in this moment. It’s been awful. 2. Each day we specifically put the “do not disturb sign” on the door because we do not like people going through our things but more importantly we did not want the AC shut off. We left the doors from our bedroom open to the main room (where the kids are sleeping) in the hopes that the AC would cool off their room during the day. However, each day the maids came in anyways and shut OFF the AC so we came home to the room being incredibly BAKING hot. We told them and they just said “oh sorry”…. why would they come in if we specifically have a do not disturb sign on our door?? 3. The bathroom permanently smells awful like a mixture of sewage and old urine. I don’t know what the issue is but it smells absolutely terrible every day all the time when you go in. It’s neauseating. 4. The shower is tiny so unless you are a very small person, you can’t move. You can barely move your arms to wash your hair.(see image) 5.Towels apparently are a premium here. Each person gets one and if you want more you have to PAY(see image)! When we checked in I asked if we could just get one extra towel to dry my hair , the answer was no!? 6. If you actually plan to use the kitchen (which we didn’t) there are no utensils to be found. Just FYI. This place looks pretty in the pictures but our experience here has not been good, again especially in this heat wave. And I have NEVER in all my years of traveling been told I cannot have one extra towel. HARD PASS on this place for us.

Our family of 4 (inc 2 teenagers) stayed on the top floor. The apartment has great decor. Rooms were very spacious with 2 v big beds, a dining table, TV and sofas in the main bedroom. Safe available in room. Bathroom had a bath with shower hose, sink and toilet but no shower curtain surrounding the bath (not an issue for us but might be for some). Separate WC also in the apartment. The staff at the apartment were brilliant. Really knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help. Cold continental breakfast is available. Breakfast seating area is fairly compact. The info notice in the apartment recommends staggering timings for breakfast. Location - The apartment is in Buda and is a 2 min walk to the Fisherman Bastion area, which is a great place to view the city and take photos as the sun sets. A lot of the sights are in Pest which can be accessed by taking a short walk to the river and crossing the bridge either by walking or going 2 stops on the underground. We purchased a 72 hour travel ticket which can be used on the public transport. (Worth doing even if you like walking). Two items to consider when booking : the apartment is in a hilly area which might be an issue for anyone with mobility challenges. There is also no lift. This was not an issue for us, but might be for some. Overall - This is a great property to stay in. We had been travelling in Europe for 10 days and really enjoyed the spacious apartment.

The front desk staff was really wonderful. There is lots of room, it was quiet, had a very average but adequate breakfast, and it suited our needs for two nights but- we would not stay again. The carpet in room 224 was very dirty. The single dish towel had a very large hole in the center of it- I left it for housekeeping to see, but they just hung it up again. The shower door leaked and , while there was a small but very nice kitchenette, there were no utensils. Clearly this place needs some simple attention to bring it up to standard. If someone took the time to maintain the rooms better it could be really nice choice. Please clean that area rug! Plus be aware there is no elevator so we had to drag our bags up to third floor.

Staff is brilliant, helpful and professional. Room was modern, comfortable and well equipped. The place is a perfect location - castle is 2 minutes walk, major transport hub(tram,bus, underground) is 5 minutes walk, restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Very hard to find a safer neighborhood in Budapest! Can highly recommend this hotel
