The Magazine Hotel & Apartments

Excellent location and the room is spacious. There’s no reception when we checked-in, but the instruction we received advance was clear and we had no problem accessing the room. However, we had an issue entering the room which was instantly resolved via WhatsApp. The main reason that we will not return is the noise level from the street and the bell from the church are unbearable for us

Absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is in a perfect location—walking distance to all the main attractions, shops, and restaurants. The rooms are spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The view from the room was simply breathtaking. It truly has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again

We booked a family room in the hotel, but when we arrived we were redirected to somthing called “Rumor Apartments,” three floors above the actuall hotel. No reception desk or on-site staff meant a confusing, self-service check-in. The location is amazing and the apartment was spacious and yet poorly maintained: a broken sofa and curtains so small that daylight poured in at 5:30 am. We chose to leave after the first night-even though we had prepaid for four- rather than risk our yearly family vacation. I reported these issues but received no meaningful support so far

Stayed in June 2025. The apartment is quite nice and the location is good. However, there were no front desk to check in. One of the reasons that we booked this place is because there was supposed to be a front desk. However, we received an email on 21 May stating that there will be no front desk as of 1 June 2025. A lot of hassle to self checked in when we arrived as we didn't have the code. Many phone calls were made. Next, we couldn't go out for dinner at about 8pm on 8 June 2025 as the common area's door was locked. (Pictures attached). We contacted the staff and we spoke to 3 people. The first lady was very rude and impatient and insisted that we caused the problem by locking the door. How is that possible? We wanted to go out for dinner. It was already locked! It must have been a faulty lock, and the key couldn't unlock it. We didn't lock it! She even hung up on us a couple of times. We spoke to 2 others later who 8were helpful and patient and tried to solve the problem. Hence, we were locked in the room and unable to go out that evening. Many calls were made, and roaming charges were incurred. There were other guest/guests who couldn't go into their room as they were locked out. One of the male staff was extremely helpful and was at the scene to help us and other guests. Finally, at about 11++pm, he managed to ask the locksmith to remove the common area's lock. We were just glad it was sorted out. It was an extremely frustrating evening.

Fun from the very start. You gò to reception on floor 1/2 in a moaning old lift. Lovely staff, very helpful and accommodating. You couldn't get any closer to St. Stephens cathedral!! The room we stayed in was a studio on the 4th floor, but facing away from the views. No problem, as it's right outside the front door!! Close to many wonderful sights, metro, trams, and bus stops. Some of the kitchen items could do with an upgrade. Unsure if off season travel and prices effected the cleaning service? But we saw leftover moments from previous guests all over the room. And we couldn't make the tv work, but who needs tv when in Budapest??! But for short-term term visit, great central location!! 👍

10/10 Location right in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral, cafes' and restaurants. 10-15 minutes walk to the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, Elizabeth Park and Fashion Street.|10/10 Comfort and Price|10/10 Friendliness of Staff - it was a last minute booking for us and we were in a rush to catch the flight to BUD. We missed out the email from the property for the self check-in info etc because the reception closes at 8PM. The hotel staff accommodated our calls at 11PM even beyond office hours. Managed to get our room in no time and processed the formal check-in the next day.

Central location right at the St. Stephen Basilica square as you step outside of the hotel doors the Basilica awaits you. Staff was nice. Stayed a few days. Room 1. Small but enough for two people. The smell of sewage would come through at times and had to keep the bathroom door closed. That was the only minus. Nicely renovated rooms and hotel. Good for a quick getaway. Location is perfect close to everything.

Bed was very comfortable with the tv showing Netflix and YouTube with signed in accounts very good 👍 the bathroom was very cozy just the main shower head pressure was very weak
