The Human Intelligence Center of Excellence Tours and Activities

Great location, well furnished apartment. Very convenient parking. Walkable to all highlights; however, we took advantage of the Lime scooters that are readily available.

The hotel lived up to expectations and its location was reasonably close to where I needed to go usually. The two areas that could use improvement are (1) more support on finding transportation to/from Budapest. The desk person did not find any service for me and I had to arrange transportation on my own. I highly recomment Airbus Trans BTW - which provided door-to-door for me as the sole passenger for 170 Euro (reasonable given the alternatives, like Flixbus that'd have required me to take taxis to/from stations). PresidentTour is also good but they usually go to the Franz Liszt Airport. (2) when I arrived the taxi driver did not have change from 100 Euro and the hotel desk couldn't help. Fortunately, the restaurant manager was able to

The breakfast was 10/10. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Check-in was easy. Checkout was easy. The common areas were clean. The breakfast girl was super helpful. The shower was great, I loved the huge walk in shower. There were many amenities to use in the bathroom. But two issues cost 2 stars. 1. The bed. A slab of granite would be about as comfortable. I have stayed in too many Romanian hotels with broken mattresses that were so soft on the edges that I almost rolled off. This one at the Aventus was SO hard I could barely move in the morning because I was so sore. I am 1.95 meters tall and 110 KGS, and when I laid on the bed, I barely made a dent in the mattress. 2. When I entered my room, it smelled like sour cabbage or saurkraut. I thought maybe there was a smell from the bathroom, but that was fine. The room was very hot, so I turned on the A/C, and immediately my eyes began to water from the sour cabbage smell. It was so bad that I turned off the A/C and opened the balcony door. That resolved both the heat and the smell issues, and it was quite comfortable the rest of the night. The TV remote was sticky, and the hair dryer quit after 20 seconds and would not start again. If the bed and the smelly a/c were different, I would give it at least four stars. But I only wanted to sleep after a long drive, and the spa was not why I stopped. That breakfast almost made me forget about how much my body hurt from the bed; it was that good.
