Big space
We had a five night stay at Happy Home White. The apartment is big. There is a kitchen full of necessary stuff. Close to supermarkets, bus, tram, metro and train stations. The apartment is very dark and humid. The loft upstair has no storage. Very low ceiling. Head board tucked into a concave wall. If someone is claustrophobic like me, you are in big trouble. Shower is not consistant. Hot shower turn cold several time during my shower. Pinball machine, electric key board is nice but no time to make use of them if you are busy touring the city. More storage space instead would be nice. Washing machine is nice.

Perfect central Budapest apartment
We stayed in the White Happy Home Budapest apartment which was beautiful. Greeted by the lovely Kate who showed us around & explained everything wonderfully. Great location to explore everything central Budapest has to offer. Only a few metro stops from the city centre/Danube or approx. 25 min walk. Very clean, huge shower, great little kitchenette with lots of appliances. Spacious apartment in general with lovely mezzanine level for the bedroom. Great value for money for a self-contained city centre apartment.

Really enjoyed our stay at Happy Home Diamond.
Nice, quiet street & building with a secure gated entrance. Great location 2 mins walk from a main square with metro / tram / bus stops.
Better shower than most hotels & having netflix on the TV was a nice touch.
Very friendly staff showed us the facilities and then at the luggage drop-off office.
If possible it would be a good idea to indicate the correct building. The ceiling in the bedroom area is uncomfortably low and the pillows weren't great, but they're minor inconveniences.

We were in the white apartment. It was lovely and clean with everything we would need even down to dishwasher tablets. Was a little bit smaller than we thought but still very spacious. Very quiet considering we were just off a main road. Supermarkets were 2 minutes away and which ever direction you walked in for around 5 minutes there was shops and bars. Only thing I would say it needs is a thicker mattress, more pillows and maybe a lamp or something upstairs.

This is a unique, quirky apartment in a great location. Yes it looks a tad rough around the exterior but don’t judge a book by its cover. Inside it is clean, bright, fun and safe.
We loved the pinball, guitar and keyboard. The mini bar was a great added bonus as was the free mobile WiFi. Staff were super as were their transfers.

This property is really well located— very central with excellent metro and tram links. Also a nice stroll of 15 -20 mins or so into centre. It’s really quiet at night so you get a great night’s sleep. Everything worked really efficiently and the internal design is to a high standard. Ours was a December visit and heating was excellent. Great shower also. Great choice to stay amongst locals rather than in hotels. We would highly recommend this property for your Budapest visit. The take out mobile wifi hotspot was a great bonus also. If so inclined we’d highly recommend the Palatinus Strand on Margaret Island for a spa and swim— outdoors and indoors. It’s really spotless and not overcrowded. Take tram 6 or 4 and then 3 stops on no 26 bus or just enjoy the walk on the beautiful island . Well done to Happy Homes — everything is as advertised , transport to and from airport was great and great reception also on arrival . 10 out of 10 !!!

Happy Home = Happy Holiday
The apartment was excellent in all aspects. Located bout 5 minutes walk from Jewish quarter which made access around the city easy.
The place was spotlessly clean and provided great extras; welcome snacks, Netflix, umbrella etc etc.
We would definitely return👍

At home in Budapest!
Convenient location. Cute and homey place with extras that make you comfortable and entertained and facilitate cooking and relaxing. The building is run down on the outside, but not unusual for Budapest.

AMAZING ! THIS PLACE EXCEEDS ALL EXPECTATIONS !
The welcoming was great. The lady kind of toured us through Budapest with her short 10 minute speech. Minor blip in the pickup from the driver. Nothing that she had to take it on her but she was very accountable of it and she made up more than that for it by providing a free airport drop service. I asked the driver to at least take the tip for the free ride but he did not.
My parents are visiting Budapest next summer and there is no other place I can even think of for them other than this.
