Mamaison Residence Izabella

Top choice in Erzsébetváros & the Jewish Quarter


This fabulous conversion of a 19th-century Eclectic building has 38 apartments measuring between 45 and 97 sq metres just off swanky Andrássy út. The apartments surround a delightful and very tranquil central courtyard garden and are set off by terracotta-toned decor. The lobby/reception area is warm and welcoming, with comfortable sofas and bold original art.

The rooms' small kitchens have everything – did we notice a salad spinner? – and the deluxe units are equipped with washing machines and dishwashers. There's also a complete fitness room.
