SWU Magazine Rooms

Centrally located with easy access to dining and attractions. Staff praised for friendliness and helpfulness, enhancing the check-in experience.

This is not a hotel accommodation. It's a rental of individual rooms in an apartment building. On the same floor, there's a small reception desk operating from 8 AM to 8 PM. The reception staff will help you check in, solve basic problems, answer questions, provide a Budapest map, etc... You'll also receive a room key card and numerical codes to open the main doors of the apartment complex and garages. The staff is helpful, pleasant, and speaks English. The rooms are relatively small but clean and modern. We didn't experience any problems with opening doors that were mentioned in another review. Everything in the rooms works: WiFi, kettle, coffee maker, etc... You cannot cook meals in the room as there are no plates or cutlery. The mattresses are quite firm, which suited me very well. The Magazine Rooms is close to the metro and other public transportation. Our windows faced the street. There's a restaurant right below the window - understandably quite noisy during the weekend. However, the windows are well insulated, and when we closed them, we could sleep peacefully. The only problem was parking. Although The Magazine Rooms advertises parking, the number of parking spaces is very limited. Therefore, we had to look for parking outside. We were lucky (actually twice): we found a parking spot right in the next street; and on weekends, you don't need to pay for public parking.
