WestSide Apartments by FirstHost

The property was not clearly signposted so it was difficult to establish which building the apartment was in. There are two Westside apartments next to each other and is not clear which the room was in. There is no check in desk and check in was via an email instruction which could have been clearer. The apartment itself was mostly modern other than the bedroom which looked dated. The bed was hard and not comfortable and the cleanliness of the bed wasn’t the best. The bathroom was modern and clean but despite there being a bath, there was no bath plug so couldn’t have a bath. The apartment had a few amenities provided such as a toilet roll and 1 dishwasher tablet and a sponge. However the amount provided wasn’t enough for our 5 day stay. The sponge in the kitchen wasn’t new/clean so we did buy our own. When we were able to check in, we called the apartment owners and there was no answer, making check in difficult. The location wasn’t central but was only a 25 minute walk to the centre or the train station. Not many local bars or shops but there is a Lidl within 10 minutes Overall the apartment was okay for a place to stay but expect a lot of travelling and walking to the centre, and to purchase your own toilet paper and cleaning products. On a good note it is only about 20 minute walk to the thermal baths.

Vandet i bruseren skifter konstant imellem alt fra 20-45 grader, så det er ikke særlig længe man bruger på at få en bad. Sengene og sovesofaen er meget hård, ligesom de fleste andre udlejnings steder i Budapest, så ser det godt ud, men bærer præg af at være lavet af ufaglærte arbejdere. Der bliver sparet på komforten og tingene ser mere prangende ud på billederne, end de er i virkeligheden. Når det er sagt, så har jeg oplevet at det er meget generelt for Budapest. På trods af det, så er jeg helt vild med at besøge Budapest og kunne godt finde på at leje denne lejebolig igen en anden gang.

Well equipped, modern apartment. We found the full kitchen with oven, hob, toaster, kettle, coffee machine etc very handy, as was washing machine. Apartment had a nice balcony. Beds not very comfortable, particularly sofa bed in sitting room. Would not recommend if you have a car as parking is limited on the road and easy to get a fine (two zones meet and signs facing the street are for the other one-approx 22 GBP fine). We’d actually paid for parking at sister complex Westside Gardens (10 mins away) for the week but as they didn’t provide a garage zapper it was very uncomfortable with our child having to go down by foot and open garage manually, particularly with a sleeping child so several times we parked on the road at night (free between certain times). Metro is about 10 mins walk away (Lehel ter) Hungarian style bakery 5 mins walk away No nice coffee shops or restaurants particularly close which we found Not sure we’d stay here again

Para repetir Excelente alojamiento: limpio, bonito, nuevo y cerca de todo.
