uneven experience

varied breakfastroom's cleanlinessuncleaned room
The breakfast provided a large variety of options. It was okay.
The room's cleanliness was not excellent. from the first day, the room seemed uncleaned. After requesting a cleaning, they only straightened the sheets. water and coffee were not restocked, and cups and glasses remained unwashed. there was an old cigarette butt on the balcony from day one, and i don't even smoke.

Acceptable stay, some issues noticed

breakfast selectionmetro stationgym scheduletight parking
The breakfast offered a wide selection of foods. I particularly enjoyed the Hungarian and continental options available. A metro station is located right next to the hotel. The proximity made travelling very convenient.
The gym opened at 8:00 am during the weekend. This was not suitable for my schedule as I needed to leave the hotel by 8:30 am. I found the parking space quite tight. It was difficult to maneuver my car.
