Omega Guesthouse Budapest

We arrived late. This is in a very busy area of Pest and so it all looked rather dirty and creepy at night. At check in we were asked to give email address. Expedia does not show my email address and I haven’t needed to give it before. The night lady said to send me a receipt. I showed her my receipt. She got angry, stood, got our keys, threw them on the lower desk in front of us. She took us to a room off of the office to the street side of the building. We watched three other parties get taken to the courtyard side of the property. We felt the night lady was doing this because I angered her. The bathroom was clean. The floors were a colour that could hide dirt. The sheets were very thin, pulled and had dark lint on them. The pillows were old and the filling had broken down into chunks with dark shadows. The blankets were very thin, so my husband asked for other blankets which he received with even less grace than before. Curtains were not black out and there were bright lights outside the window. Both layers of windows could not block the noisy, busy streets. About 6 times emergency sirens went by before we went to sleep. Next morning after seeing our check in review the morning lady offered us a different room but we had already decided to leave. The morning office staff were friendly, kind and accommodating almost making up for the night lady, but nothing can change that room. If you stay here, arrive during the day (it also looks better) and avoid the office at night.

kitchen next to our room was out off order

Noisy at night

Very central to everything, helpful staff, the room was nice and clean and had lots of amenities (private bathroom, microwave, fridge), lots of plug sockets

I can see why so many reviews say that this is the place they would stay again if they return to Budapest. There were some non-major issues: hard to find the front door the first time; why no coffee or tea WITH the kettle? But once there, my room was comfortable with no frills, just like I prefer. Staff is truly friendly and helpful. Very centrally located (Budapest has one of the best transit systems of any European city), and attractively priced. Yep, I’d stay there again.

Place was easy to find.. staff were friendly and helpful.. highly recommend guesthouse for other travellers

great staff

I was unable to arrive at the guesthouse due to the war situation — the airspace was closed and my flight was canceled. I contacted the management in advance and asked to postpone my stay. The booking had been fully paid months ahead, but unfortunately, they refused any flexibility or accommodation. In the short term, they kept the payment. In the long term, they have lost a returning guest — and potentially others who value fair and understanding service. I’ve visited Budapest many times, and there are plenty of places that treat guests with more consideration and flexibility. I recommend future travelers take this into account and choose carefully.

Ideally located, groceries next door, excellent public transport and had no complaints

The Staff were very nice however the Room left a lot to be desired, the picture of Omega Guesthouse implies that the Rooms are around an internal courtyard whereas my Room Hi3 was facing the Main Road & Junction the Glazing was inadequate to cut out enough of the Tram/Emergency Vehicles,Buses & Cars ( stopped at lights) with loud Bass Music, the Room itself was fine ( cleaner could do better) apart from overly Firm Mattress & the Aircon Heating being set to one Temperature ( Day & Night) because the rooms are not given their own control.

Very cozy homey room and common areas.

Everything is clean . rooms washrooms microwave . Fridge. All good but address of this place little hard to find . even though your standing right in front of it . grocery stores general stores metro and trams all right outside . food venders restaurants all around this place .

I’ve been repeating this guesthouse! My fav stay in Budapest!

The room I've been assigned was very clean. In addition to this, daily housekeeping was granted to mantain order and provide toilet paper. Finally the air conditioning was spot on, in the sense that wasn't excessively warming up the area.

10 years repeater here! Love the location!

The guest house was great value for money. It is perfect as a base to explore the city and is excellent value for money. If you're looking for luxury, it isn't for you but if you need a clean room with nice staff and and a great location, it is spot on. Other people comment on the smell aroubd the hotel and yes, outsid of the rooms you could smelm fast food but you could bot smell it at all whe in your room so please don't be out off by that. I would 100% stay here again to use as a base but use some common sense when you see the price compared to other properties; you are not paying for luxury.

Reception staff were nice. Hairdryer in the room and they always gave us fresh towels and toilet paper. The room was clean. Very few amenities in the room - TV is quite old doubt it works, no tea or coffee pods and just one hand wash soap (no body gel). Wifi does not reach the room and it's not soundproofed. The breakfast is not expensive but it's not worth it. We paid a lot for the room and it is definitely not worth all that. It is good for travelers who do not stay in the room so much while traveling. They gave us a free bottle of champagne on new years, very nice gesture

Sencillo y limpio. Cerca del metro, restaurantes y tiendas.

Staff was nice, for what we paid and only for 2 nights was fine. The only bad things were the smell on the entrance (due to the Kebab restaurant) and that they don't supply with shampoo or shower gel, just hand soap

A comfortable place, clean room and friendly staff
