Hotel Abel Pension Budapest

A very charming hotel that has stood here since 1922. Feels like travelling back in time except the rooms have air conditioning and of course WiFi. The breakfast is included and Gesa, the owner is a lovely man who will tell you everything you need to know about Budapest. Bonus: really good mattresses.

The staff were very sweet, I loved the location as it was far away from the central crowd but in an easily accessible quite neighbourhood. The breakfast was a good bonus for the cheap price, even though not perfect. They changed the towels every day.

A little outdated furniture but the bed was comfy which was the important part. Only didn’t like the entrance door had to be locked every time and we have only one key.

It is a nice location and the balcony in my room was great. The host was very nice and welcoming.

Breakfast was VERY basic (and in my humble opinion not really worth what I paid for). There is NO kettle or tea/coffee in the room. However I was allowed access to the kitchen to get hot water (for make my tea in the morning). The matteress was a bit tired and the pillow (only ONE) was terrible (at least for me) so didn't really sleep well at all.

It had the basic elements for a short stay. Some candies left in the room.

The air conditioning was turned on only after 27 degrees outside and it was controlled by the owner. This is false advertising. We came back at 11 in the morning one day and it was 30 degrees out but the ac not on, not even a fan offered. And when the ac was on, it was on fan mode. This made us open the windows which brought mosquitos and noise inside. The cover of the bed had blinde hairs. I have black hair so that was not mine. A small bar of soap was given for two of us for three days. No shampoo, no air dryer. The sockets for electric devices seemed old and loose. Towels were hard though they were changed to everyday. Owner treated us like children when checking in asking us to sit and fill in the papers while showing us why the number nine on the key was not a six. It was so hot and didn’t even get offered a glass of water. We didn’t even try to make it for breakfast since it was only until 9am and we were on holidays.
