Stop Panzio

Main selling points are its location (within a courtyard off a quiet pedestrian mall close to town square), comfortable and clean accommodation, and proximity to bakeries and casual eateries. It is about 15 minutes' walk from the train station - coming out of station, cross the tramline and walk straight along Varga Utca until Szent Anna Utca, then turn right and take second left turn into Batthyany Utca. For its price, do not expect frills such as tea-making facilities, hair dryer, air-conditioning, etc. However, it is good value for money. The genial host speaks good English and is helpful with suggestions on places to visit, and giving directions. The staff, although they are elderly and do not speak much English, are kind and considerate.

The room was a bit dated, but it was comfortable and clean. The city centre location was ideal, although a little hard to find. It is close the tram stop and a short walk from the station. One of the staff also spoke good English. We were on a budget and as a result this hotel comfortably meet our needs.

+ PROS Staff is very kind, location rules. - CONS Beds are extremely hard and short, even for a budget hotel. Some of them are even very creaky. Bed sheets are even shorter than the beds. Under the pillow you get the naked mattress. They have no soundproofing either, we woke up at 4AM to a long chat between two men, which lasted to 6,30AM. It was probably the staff chit-chating, since the noise came from their room... In the morning, you could smell the burnt omelette all over the lobby, which is a breakfast saloon also.
