We stayed a few nights during January 2026. This is such a cute place! We loved the spacious living area. It was nice to have a kitchen and a refrigerator too. Very safe place to stay. There are several places to eat and nice grocery stores near by.

Confortable room. Clean bathroom. Very central. Loved the setting. Little bit difficult to find when you arrive at night though as the name is not very visible from afar. Would come back

The staff is great! We appreciated that there were a lot of kitchen inventory, it was really helpful. The room was clean and neat
Location was very central and convenient. The room wasn't as seen in the pictures but worked out. Staff was accommodating.

The staff was lovely and welcoming of me and my dog. The location was central to all activities and very close to the Christmas market. Walking to the Buda Castle was also fun across the bridge. I loved the art on the walls!
Great! Very good price and very good location. It's a basic studio apartment. Easy self-check-in. Only suggestions would be to have separate listings for the two locations, and to accept credit cards rather than cash only.
Absolutely fantastic stay with a great and friendly staff! The location for the price can't be beaten, I would absolutely stay again for my next trip to Budapest! Such wonderful charm.
Great quirky hostel in the heart of Budapest. Easy to find with great transport links, whilst walking distance to many of the sites.
The decor was amazing and made it a unique place to stay.
Not an issue for us, but there are quite a lot of steps with no lift so be prepared! Also it's on the main street so quite a bit of traffic noise - but location and quality of accommodation completely offset this.
We stayed at their offsite apartments. The building is dated and not wholly owned by lavander and at first it put my partner off upon entry, but when we got to our apartment, we were both so impressed by it, absolutely incredible and definitely worth every penny. We even had a piano in our room lol. Right around the corner from one of the harry potter bars, the forsale pub and the best shooting range I've been to. I cannot express how happy I am with the accommodation and location. 10/10
A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back
