Dean’s Home Budapest was an overall good experience. Visiting from U.S., we were hotel patrons (not students - as this can second as student housing, I think). We stayed over Xmas & left just prior to New Year’s. Sadly, all businesses in the area were closed 12/25 &12/26 (holiday) & Sundays. There were 2 convenience stores, Spar & Penny, next door to the hotel which, would have been fantastic if they were open thru the holiday. (Not the hotel’s fault of course). We ate DAILY at Crazy Dean’s restaurant (part of hotel). This restaurant alone made our stay worth it! The buffet style food was delicious, reasonably priced, & staff was pleasant. (Cost: 11€/day or pay in advance for 9€). For us, with so many businesses closed, this was open & wonderful to have access to for breakfast.
Our room: A good price for the holiday stay. Not sure if we got a room meant for student housing, but the main room was quite small& up steep stairs was a tiny loft w/ a 2nd bed (which we never used). The main bed was literally wall to wall (as pictured on their site), leaving just enuf room for luggage. The room contained refrigerator, electric water pot, & hairdryer. Small closet & shelf for shoes, which saved space. The room was very clean overall, and the bed EXTREMELY comfortable (also making our stay pleasant)!
Amenities: Gym was well kept & clean (we loved it!) & the small laundromat was very convenient. Hotel is also close to a subway station (just a short walk).
Overall: Recommended
