Our Review of STORIES BUDAPEST HOTEL & TWENTYSIX Restaurant

When it comes to finding a unique and enchanting stay in the heart of Budapest, Stories Budapest Hotel unquestionably takes the spotlight. This has got to be one of the prettiest, chic boutique hotels this city has to offer! 💃🤹‍♂️✨🥂 Our recent experience at this extraordinary hotel left us awe-inspired, as we indulged in the luxurious comfort of their family loft suite and delighted in the culinary delights at their affiliate restaurant, Twentysix Budapest, boasting an enchanting urban jungle garden setting. Join us as we take you on a journey through the captivating tales of our unforgettable stay. Here is our review of Stories Budapest Hotel & Twentysix Restaurant.

A Mystical Entrance:

What sets Stories Budapest Hotel apart is its captivating mystique. Unlike regular hotels, our adventure began in the lobby, where stories and dreams intertwine. Reception on the second level added intrigue as we rode an elevator from the ground floor to check in. This twist piqued curiosity and set a memorable tone.

Once check-in was complete, the staff guided us to our family loft, offering a personalized tour. It was a thoughtful touch that added to their impeccable service, providing us with a personalized introduction to our home-away-from-home. As we explored our loft, the storybook ambiance grew, making us feel like fairy tale protagonists.

The Charming Family Loft Suite:

Stepping into the family loft suite deepened the enchantment. Modern aesthetics blended seamlessly with Hungarian touches, creating an elegantly welcoming space. Generous layout ensured family privacy and comfort.

One of the highlights of the family loft suite was the metal staircase leading up to the master bedroom and the artistic skylights that brought the beautiful natural light of the outdoors into the inside. The city lights cast a magical glow over the room in the evenings, creating an ambiance that was both cozy and romantic. The suite was also well-equipped with modern amenities, including a tablet with some games, a TV with free Netflix (that our kids especially enjoyed 😅), a mini bar for the adults and a modern-day turn table with a collection of music to listen to.

Bonus Treats for the Kids:

One delightful surprise for our kids was the captivating carnival theme that permeated the hotel’s lobby. As we checked in, we couldn’t help but notice the cheerful atmosphere and the inviting aroma of freshly popped popcorn. To our children’s delight, the hotel offered complimentary candy throughout the premises, making their stay even more memorable. From whimsical candy stations strategically placed around the lobby to an exciting retro mini claw machine filled with candy treasures, the kids had an absolute blast fishing out their favorite sweets.
