Perfect little hotel in every way. Location, staff, cleanliness, restaurant, room and style. Small but luxurious family feel and located perfectly to explore Buda and it's many treasures.

Lovely hotel. No elevator. 60 steps to the top floor. Room was not cleaned or serviced 2 out of 3 days we were there. No coffee replacements, no soap and lotion replacements. No service after six as hotel was not staffed in the evening. Could be better if the hotel was better staffed and operated as a 24 hr venture. Would recommend but there will be drawbacks.

Booked the junior suite room 14. Booked thinking this is a small boutique hotel with great service. The room is nice size but it’s right above the front door and on the road and even though it’s a tiny street you hear every car every person walking by and every suitcase wheeled by. No soundproof windows. We used ear plugs. They have limited front desk hours and it’s operated by a bunch of young guys who also run the restaurant. They certainly do not provide much service or go out of their way to help you. He sees two seniors and barely takes one suitcase and there’s no elevator. In this country we strayed in other small hotels and they treat you like family and go out of their way to help. The morning before checkout at breakfast we asked for breakfast (just croissants) to go because of early check out. The guy who is at the desk (really just at the restaurant, there’s not much of a front desk) said sure they will leave it in our room during the day. Upon arrival no such thing. Went down to ask and the restaurant guys just shrugged and said they had no clue. This place really disappointed and we did not feel welcomed and taken care of, which is why we booked at a small boutique hotel. They couldn’t care less. Also note, it’s across very close from a large construction project. Very disappointing.

such a charming boutique hotel at a perfect location with a wonderful restaurant on the ground floor.

This hotel is a boutique style which I greatly love. The area was quaint and quiet right near Fisherman’s Bastian and a short walk to Buda castle. Staff was very friendly. The bistro located on the ground level has wonderful coffee and traditional Hungarian food, very much enjoyed the chicken paprikash.

We can't say enough about this hotel as we were celebrating a third honeymoon after nearly 30 years of marriage. Comfortable, private, lots of little personalized touches - as a boutique hotel it was perfect! All the staff were personal and professional and the bistro was wonderful. As for the location in Budapest's Castle District, beautiful and special - we felt so set apart in a magical area, but nothing fake about it. I thought it would have been worth going elsewhere for a Danube River view from a hotel room, but am so glad we came here instead. Highly recommended! We'll be back in another 10 years or so.

Fabulous local hotel in the Castle District in Buda. Absolutely charming!!! Loved our stay.
Staff is friendly, rooms are delightful, location perfect.
After staying on the busy and crowded Pest side for a couple nights, we moved to Pest-Buda Design Hotel to complete our trip. It was a perfect way to finish our travels. In the evenings, the castle district is quiet and peaceful….fabulous food and beautiful surroundings. Fabulous!
5 stars is not enough.
PS we were there in May…

We booked one of the suites for my 50th birthday and could find no faults at all with the hotel or staff. The suites are on the 3rd floor and with no lift are probably not recommended for anyone who struggles with stairs. Very convenient location for the Buda Castle, and very close to the 16 bus stop which takes you to the Pest side of the river.
4.0
Really liked the property and the rooms are a cut above your average hotel in the heart of the nicest part of the city. (You pay a premium for this but what would you expect?)
The effect is spoiled by the pricing. If you opt for B&B rates you get croissants included, but if you want anything else there’s a charge.
There’s one coffee capsule per person for the nespresso machine in the room and you have to buy additional at €1 each if you want more!
We have been to other (cheaper) hotels in Budapest with all you can eat buffet breakfast and unlimited free coffee in the room.
Sort it out Pest-Buda and your customers satisfaction will get better!

We stayed here in early October. Our stay was fantastic. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was stylish, comfortable, and functional, plus a good size to accommodate our open suitcases and so forth. Great shower, nice ammenities, comfortable bed, windows that open. We had dinner in the restaurant one night, which was very pleasant. And of course, it's hard to beat the location! A 3-minute walk to the Fisherman's Bastion and St. Mathias church. We would definitely stay here again!

Our favourite hotel on our holiday. Great location just near to the Hilton. The food and restaurant ambience was particularly nice - there were quite a few Hilton guests eating there! The staff could not have been more helpful.

Very cute and small which I really liked. The front desk gentleman was going above and beyond for our needs and help. It is in a beautiful area and the room we had was nice and spacious.

Beautiful hotel, great decor, very comfortable. There were a few things missing - when I got to my room, there was no welcome letter in there, so when I went down to reception to ask for the wifi, they told me to refer to the welcome letter in my room. The attitude suggested I hadnt already looked for that info in my room! It was a bit weird. Generally a great stay, though. I would definitely recommend it to friends or even stay there again. The food at the bistro downstairs was delicious as well.

I don’t know where to start as it was all so so lovely!
Other than the beautiful restaurant and hotel, which is set in the most idyllic and beautiful part of Budapest, the service we had was just about the best we have ever had. So warm and friendly.
We were immediately welcomed and shown around by our host, his manner and sense of humour made us feel so at ease. And the rest of the staff were really good to us throughout our 4night stay.
We had the only internal room which didn’t have a window (I knew this when I booked) but as it was dark outside while we were actually using the room this never made any difference to us so please don’t be put off. And there is air con if you need a little air. The room itself is as beautiful as the rest of the hotel (one of the oldest buildings in the area) and has a unique layout with the bathroom being openplan. The pipes under the bathroom floor kept us toasty when we returned after a cold day exploring the city.
The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and the hotel was really quiet, so we slept very soundly.
On the first day we ate breakfast at their restaurant downstairs and we really enjoyed it. The avocado and tomato on toast was especially good.
We can’t say enough good things about this little gem and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else if we went back to Budapest

What a great spot! We loved being in an historic bldg... beautifully redone. It is easy to get around on public transportation. If your bags are heavy, stay on the first floor so you only have to climb one flight of stairs...no elevator and narrow stairs. Staff helpful but not overly friendly.

The location of the hotel is first class, it is at the Buda side of town and it is just 3 minute walk to the Fisherman’s Bastion & St Matthias Church. At an exorbitant price, the food at Pest-Buda bistro & Pest-Buda terrace cafe food was just OK, nothing special. There is no kettle in the room, you will have to live with hot water from the nespresso machine. The room is not sound proof, during the night you can hear people talking from the Bistro below and in the morning you can hear the delivery man making his delivery. Other than that, the view outside the window is just amazing, calm and tranquille. I love the location. It is far from Vaci Utca shopping area in Pest side of the city but bus no 16 comes every 6 minutes in front of the grocery store and will take you from Buda side to the Pest side of the city. Another plus point, i love the small grocery store, it has everything you need and it sells fresh bread and pastries in the morning!

Hotel was situated in a lovely area with easy walking distance to the castle, Fisherman’s Bastion and Funicular. Our room (11) was on the first floor (no lift), overlooking the main street and was clean and spacious. We found the bed a bit too hard for our taste and our air con unit a bit noisy but we enjoyed the coffee pod machine.
We ate at the restaurant downstairs twice. Both meals were tasty, albeit more expensive than other restaurants in the area.
