Park Plaza Budapest
The aircondition didn’t work well so it was pretty hot in the hotel room even tho it was only 16° outside. The carpets in the room had stains and it looked a little bit old overall (in the room) the other facilities were good. We got a double duvet.. which for us was kind of annoying to sleep with ...

Elisabeth Downtown Apartments by FirstHost
This was a very nice apartment. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was very noisy however as there was drilling going on. The fridge, was more like a freezer as it froze everything in it. But other than that I would highly recommend it.
