  I had two hosts, expatriates from the United States.   Both are college professors (one retired) and Ryan is the author of the Frommer's  Budapest  book. They were attentive.   Talk about having a source of information.   They have eaten at every restaurant, visited every site, and done just about everything you can do in Budapest.   You... More

What a find this place was! To have 2 English speaking hosts who were so eager to share their vast knowledge of Budapest was wonderful. They recommended places to go, restaurants to visit, made reservations for us and generally went out of their way to make our visit easier and more enjoyable. Their apartment is comfortable and very clean. I... More

I found this place on Frommers and it was the highest rated B&B. It is a private three bedroom apartment owned by two university professors who are great hosts and American expatriates. We booked the large master bedroom which has its own renovated bathroom and shower. The owners are very proud of their place and most eager to please. The... More

Hey, a huge thank you to you, regobob, for your heartwarming review. We truly enjoyed you three 'ex-pat New Yawkers' (now Floridians)! Every day was a kick having you here... your stories and warm humor delighted us. We hope you can return some day and check out more of the glories of Budapest. More

I stayed for 3 nights with a few friends at Budabab, and I have to say it was definitely one of the nicest hotels/hostels where I've been. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, with an awesome shower (very important!), towels being provided, a hairdryer (also very important), and everything being superb decorated. Next to that the hosts, Ron and Ryan,... More

This April, my sister and I stayed with Ron and Ryan while we had our first visit to Budapest. They were very helpful, suggesting places to see, explaining how to get where we wanted to go, and Ron even made reservations at a restaurant for us. We were concerned about language barriers so it was nice to stay with people... More

I love Budapest, and as a young woman travelling solo, it's important to me that a place is safe and in walking distance to trams and metro. This place was perfectly situated and the flat itself is comfortable, homey and safe. I've been to Budapest several times, and staying with Ryan and Ron was by far my favorite trip! They... More

dicit_discipulo, I admire your Latin name "the disciple speaks". However, I fear you have spoken in error or perhaps you reviewed the wrong facility. Perhaps another guesthouse has a similar name. Since I live here in our B & B, I would surely notice any bed bug problem, and swiftly solve it. Of course Mother Nature's creatures challenge all of... More

The Accommodations: Like other guests, I was worried about sharing a bathroom with the hosts. However, we never crossed paths and the bathroom was immaculate and updated. And my husband and I are very picky about cleanliness. There are nice windows in the bathroom along with high ceilings, which made it nice and airy in there. The flat itself is... More
