Balatonvilagos Vacations from ￥191,230

I stayed at Maverick Apartments Budapest recently and had a decent overall experience. The room itself was okay — not amazing, but not bad either. The building is clearly quite old and historic, which gives it character, but it also explains why the rooms probably aren’t heavily renovated. Because of that, some things felt a bit worn. The washroom had a strong smell, and the toilet flush button was broken during my stay. I assume these issues come with maintaining an older property, though they were still noticeable. On the positive side, the location is excellent — you’re basically close to everything, which makes exploring the city very convenient. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, which definitely improved the stay. Overall, it’s a reasonable place if you mainly want a great location and don’t mind a few imperfections in the room.

The apartment was very cute & clean. We arrived after dark so it was a bit difficult to get into the unit. Very detailed instructions (w/ pics!) were given but it was dark in staircase & courtyard & using a cell phone light on silver lock box dials made things complicated. In our foggy, traveling brains, we thought we were getting keys from an office door & didn't realize it was our actual unit but a neighbor guided us. The description & details are accurate - the ceiling upstairs is 6' tall, my husband's head rubbed the ceiling. The stairs going up to the bed are very, very steep. We were both so nervous we would fall in the middle of the night if we went downstairs for the restroom so we ended up using the super comfy, fold out couch in the living room. There were even extra blankets and pillows stored inside the couch! The washer/dryer takes 2 1/2 hrs to wash & dry, plan accordingly. It is made for small loads so do not expect to dump a suitcase worth of clothes into one load. It was nice to have the convenience though. The neighborhood was a good central location and we felt safe walking around.

I stayed here for six nights. The room was clean and well equipped, and the staff were courteous. The room size was typical for a standard three-star hotel. The property also offers facilities such as a terrace and a spa. We were a group of three, with one double bed and an additional sofa bed provided. The hotel is located in Buda, about a 45-minute walk from Elizabeth Bridge, or around 10 minutes by bus. While it is slightly far from the main tourist attractions, the area is safe, quiet, and walkable. Breakfast was not included and cost €10 per person. It would be a nice improvement if breakfast were included, even with a slightly higher nightly rate.

We stayed at this hotel last weekend and it’s our understanding that it has only recently opened. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t the best. When we arrived at our room, my girlfriend wanted to shower before our scheduled river boat trip. We realised there was no hairdryer in the room, so I asked a member of staff if one was available. He said he would go and get one for us. However, after waiting around 30 minutes with no update, I went to follow up and was then told there were none available. We weren’t informed of this sooner, which left us pushed for time before our boat trip as my girlfriend had no way to dry her hair. Shortly after, we also noticed there was no body wash or shampoo provided in the room. When I asked staff about this, I was again told there was none available. I then had to go out to a shop to purchase basic toiletries ourselves. Overall, the experience felt quite disorganised. While we appreciate that the hotel is newly opened and may still be finding its feet, it did not feel as though there was much effort made to resolve the issues or to ensure guests were looked after. We hope these are just teething problems and that improvements will be made for future guests.
