The Magazine Rooms

We stayed here as a Mum and teenage son. The hotel is a little difficult to find but staff were available to guide us. We arrived very early in the morning after taking the night train from Krakow and staff allowed us to check in early at no extra cost. Which was honestly life saving as I was desperate for a shower. The room was decorated beautifully and very comfortable. We over looked a bar and restaurant at the back but never heard anything that kept us awake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for exploring Budapest. Close to lost of attractions and transport links. Would 100% recommend

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.

Nice room, comfortable bed and clean bathroom. I found the door of the room difficult to open with the card system. Nice central location, plenty of bars and restaurants near-by. Would have loved a swim in the pool, but it was out of season, late April?

Good value hotel in the city centre in a nice vibrant area that felt safe after dark. Room although facing a side street was quite quiet. The room was very clean and there was an excellent powerful shower in the well equipped en-suite bathroom. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and it was easy to access building using a key code. Only minor negative was when the room was cleaned, on two occasions, the coffee and/or milk was not replaced. Would happily stay again.
