Trendy Deluxe Apartments

“Highly recommended almost perfect!”

Firstly a big thank you to the staff (in our case David and Margo) who welcomed us and checked us in seamlessly. We were in an annexe building which was fine as it was new and clean.

Firstly a big thank you to the staff (in our case David and Margo) who welcomed us and checked us in seamlessly. We were in an annexe building which was fine as it was new and clean. The apartments seem to all be as described and shown in the photos. Our rental was a “penthouse” one bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. The A/C worked really well but there is only a unit in the living area not the bedroom. The bathroom had a big shower with great water pressure and a washing machine. We had the only apartment without a balcony which was a shame as we really wanted a balcony however we made do with opening the windows wide (not quite the same!) the only other slight negative was finding the check in reception once you got the the complex it was located in. I would have liked better signage as we took a while to figure it out. Our apartment had twin beds which was perfect for us but if travelling as a couple it would not be ideal. Overall very happy with our choice and would recommend

“Ideal location”

Apartment is in a Great location. Walking distance to everywhere. Airport bus stop 2 mins walk. Apartment would benefit from fresh paint and refurb. But adequate as it is and great value. I would stay here again quiet happily and would recommend to friends. Budapest is a fabulous city to visit.

The main reason for writing this review is to alert others to a situation in which a delayed flight could have led to us being locked out of our accommodation - "Trendy Deluxe Apartments Budapest". The apartment was in a locked block of apartments, only accessible by a code or key fob which is provided on arrival. There was no communication about this in advance and the reception did not E-mail / text any details when we didn't arrive on time. There was no Jet2 rep / advisor present at the airport, but thankfully I had seen someone mention this on trip advisor. I located a local number and contacted the apartments directly for advice about how to check in after 10PM. It was with 5 mins to spare that I managed to get the external door code and information about where to locate our keys or we may have been locked out for the night.....quite a stressful situation and not the best start to any holiday! Jet2 need to communicate this very clearly and have contingency arrangements visible for any late arrivals as it is not easy to find and the reception / apartments are located on the 5th floor. once I made contact, the local staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartments have everything you will need and are in a great location. You will have no complaints as long as you can get in!

“In a great location but sadly let down by a few problems”

We booked this as a family trip for a few days. The hotel had made contact with us around a week before we were due to arrive to let us know that the hotel reception would close at 10pm and for us to advise on our estimated arrival time. On the day of travel unfortunately our flight was delayed slightly resulting in it being highly unlikely we would get to the apartment before 10pm. The reception had as promised sent an email with instruction on our room number and how to get in to our room were then our key would be waiting for us. It was a couple of minutes before 10pm and we went to attempt to get to our room with the instruction given. We were unable to follow the instruction. There was a couple just entering one of the entrances so we asked them how we would get in, they looked at our instruction and said that there was information missing from the email that we would not be able to get in. They advised to ring the number within the email and that they would come back to check in 5 minutes that we had managed to get in, which was very kind of them. Fortunately someone did answer the phone and he came down to meet us and take us to the room (which had changed from the email sent a couple of hours before). The lock on the door to the room was faulty and the staff showed us how to unlock and then left us to it and asked us to bring the passports to the office in the morning. The room itself was large and clean but was a little outdated. There was a round hole at the side of the door with a wire in it? Non of the curtains in the living room or both bedrooms fit the window, they were far too small, it was puzzling and of course let daylight in? Anyway, we went to the shop across the road to get basic supplies and then settled in for the night. We were wakened at around 1am by a child shouting, screaming and banging extremely loud, it seemed to come from the apartment above but couldn’t be sure. The noise went on for over an hour. We finally all fell back asleep. The next morning we went to the reception to give in our passport details and the man on reception asked how was our room. We mentioned about the noise and he said he would speak to the apartment above but that the apartment was not owned by their company. We then went on to start the first day of our holiday. The apartments are extremely central, lots of grocery stores and restaurants a short walk away. Our apartment was C412. There was one lift for each block which can at times become busy as staff need to get their cleaning equipments to the floors. Our second night we had the same noise again, much louder and went on much longer. The following morning I emailed reception to ask if there may be chance of moving rooms. I got no response but that evening there was no noise whatsoever, which was great! The night after this though, the noise returned, starting at 3am, banging for a long time. On check out I had asked if we could leave luggage and was told that would be fine but the reception closed at 6pm so would need to be collected before then. We went to drop luggage and the lady in reception advised that she was only there until 2.30pm and so collection would be needed before then. We then had to take our luggage round with us for 4 hours whilst we awaited our taxi picking us up. We have always been extremely lucky with rooms on any other holiday we have had so I have found it difficult to write a some what negative review. To summarise, the apartments are in great location, slightly outdated decor, room c412 has a dodgy lock (my partner and daughter nipped to the shop across the road and took the keys with them, on return they couldn’t unlock the door, i went to let them in and found myself locked in, unable to open the door from the inside. Was just about to phone reception and my partner somehow managed to unlock), staff are professional and friendly however, it was pot luck as to the opening times of reception should you have a problem. I would stay on the area again but don’t think I would book the apartment.
