The somewhat cramped quarters off a dim courtyard inside the Carmen Mini Hotel pay off big with a central location near Déak tér, the Central Synagogue, and the hippest beer gardens in town. Whether guests have plans to hit tourist spots during the day or branch out to clubs at night, this little hotel provides an ideal base.
When we visited the Carmen Mini in April 2007, we found its attractive small rooms both fresh and clean. Color combinations of dark blue and rich browns add dimension. Some en suite bathrooms have windows, which is a nice perk.
Rooms are the type of cramped, yet cute, quarters one encounters in either London or Paris. With the help of framed reproductions of abstract art, the windowless breakfast room is surprisingly cheery, thanks to that thin line of pine wainscoting. Oh how we love a well-placed bit of wainscoting!
The Carmen Mini is a ten-minute walk from the beginning of the swanky Andrassy út and less than a five-minute walk from the popular Gödör Club. The Zeus travel agency is across the courtyard, a convenience for those travelers who might be planning to explore Greece. Bikers like to hang out at the Pizza Hut in front of the building on Károly körut.
