How to get a visa for Hungary Hungary requires visa from citizens of some countries  like Australia, Russia, Ukraine and  many countries in Asia, America. The Hungarian Embassy /consulate / requires a voucher about hotel reservation. We can provide it after you have made a reservation at us. We need your name, surname, birth place and date as well as your passport number sent by e-mail. If you ask in an e-mail we certainly can send it to you. The voucher is better to send  by fax, but in some cases our e-mail confirmation  is also acceptable ( Australia, South- Africa, Canada etc). So you’d rather give us a fax number where we can send it to. At some embassies the service accepts only prepaid voucher. Pls. inquire about the varying conditions at your own embassy. Our exprience tells that  the Hungarian Embassy in Moscow, in Beograd and in some Asian  counties accepts only prepaid voucher. For citizens of those countries we highly recommend to make a firm reservation with prepayment  of your whole stay. See our web site page " booking " There you can find details about reservation and prepayment options and you can make a reservation as well. On request of our guests  we can provide in case not available in the apartment: iron with ironing board, toaster, coffee maker, long knife for cutting bread, hear dryer, phone book.

Heating In Hungary the energy/heating/ costs are extremely high, for we do not have our own resources. Please note that the heating season is starting after October 15th and only if the average daily temperature/measured in 24 hours/ drops under 14 C. We will in this case heat only some apartments in Szentkiralyi utca 5. However we cannot heat the apartments at the other addresses only the whole apartment /all three rooms will be rented for at least 3 days. Please note that those are cool, it takes 2-3 hours to be warm enough. If you still wanted to rent an apartment not at Szentkiralyi utca , we charge you half of the gas bill extra, because two more rooms have to be heated. The apartments are automatically heated by gas to 20 C. If you want to change the set value up to 22 C, we charge you 5 % surcharge. But our additional cost will by far exceed this. Each apartments has a separate automatic heating unit. Please do not touch any automatic heating system, because  it will not work /properly/ after. If you choose our category " room " and not apartment, because of the recent gas price rises we can rent a room with or without bath only in such apartment, where in the other one (or two rooms) might probably stay other guests. Please take into consideration that we are not able to use subsidizes. We hope on your understanding.

Forwarding messages to our guests We ask the relatives and friends of our guests, to send  messages to our guests per fax or e-mail. Phone calls cannot be connected. The fax machine is 12 km from  our aparthotel. Availability We are available at  1088 Budapest, Szentkirályi utca 5. from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. We work on special request for 20 % room price surcharge and -- prepayment usually prior arrival -- even from 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. Checking out time is 10.30 a.m. in the last morning. Key deposit Deposit for the keys is 40 Euro , 10 000 Forint or any other major currency in the same value like 35 GBP, 170 PLN, 160 ROL etc. for each room. For the deposit you will get a receipt, where your departure date and time /check out time according to your statement will be indicated and signed by you and CCA.. If you wish to change this date or check out time, lease let us know  the previous day or an hour in advance. We work from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Szentkiralyi utca 5. If you stay there, please go to our office on the ground floor. In case we are busy elswhere,you just need to find us, for we cannot afford us setting in the office, we are always busy with our guests, apartments etc. We endeavour keepig our prices as low as  possible, that is why we have just very limited assistants and work even daily 12-14 hours. Please go out of the building, ring the bell City Centre Apartments office/iroda /right column at the bottom/  for 3-4 seconds and wait for us 2-4 min. in front of the front door. We have a pager, which gives us a signal. Please note the pager technically needs 2 min. to beep. After we will suspend our activity and go to you as soon  as possible. For emergency please use our safety mail box in the gateway to drop the keys in. Why do we require a deposit for the keys ? Our locks are a part of a security system and  manufactured aboud  for our company. That is why they are really expensive. If case a guest is loosing a key, we have to change the locks /at least 2 or 3 locks/. They cost  3-4 times more than the deposit !!! If a key is broken into 2 pieces, we change it for a new key without any surcharge. How to pick up the keys You can meet our assistant(s) at the office VIII. Szentkiralyi utca house number 5. from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Ring the bell at the front door of the house " City Centre Apartments Office "  2-3 seconds and wait  2-3 minutes outside of the building. Do not enter the building before you have not  talked to us. Our assistant has a pager so if she is not in the office she'll still be able to open the front door or go downstairs meeting you. That can take  even 2-4 minutes. If you have a reservation for  VII.Dohany utca 20.III.19. please come to our office, because it is only two-three min. walk either from the metro station Astoria or from Dohany utca 20. Payment upon arrival in cash/Hungarian Forint/ together with the deposit /Euro, USD etc./ for the keys. We also accept in limited cases EUR, USD, ROL, PLN according to the rate of K and H Bank as payment for the rent. Baggage room /left luggage If you wish us to deposit your luggage after checking out time, we can do it for 300 HUF - regardless of the size of the bag or suite case- per a piece and 500 HUF per a bicycle until 9.45 p.m. but even for long term Late arrival Dear Guest ! We are not a hotel with 24 hour service. The apartments are in a normal dwelling house, where families live. We own only the half of the building in Szentkiralyi utca 5. There is a rule for the house we also have to keep, otherwise our license will be withdrawn. My experiences tells me that first arrival is always with more noise than just coming home. So please be very quiet upon arrival at night. For example do not talk in the stair case, do not pull your suite cases on wheels over the steps etc. The other reason is we try to keep our prices very low. That is why we have only very limited employees. We -owners - work 12-14 hours per a day and 7 days a week. We work from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. We have bad experiences with as we call " late arriving guests". We can only receive guest between  10 p.m. and 12 p.m. only in an exceptional case. One precondition is the payment of the first night with 20 % surcharge in advance. We should receive it at least 5 days prior arrival. Pls. consider a bank transfer lasts in Hungary with the report arriving us : 10-14 days. The other precondition is that the guest notifies us a week prior arival by fax, e-mail what time , by which transportation exactly he arrives. After 12 p.m. we cannot wait for guests any more, because the person on duty can only get home by taxi. This additional cost cannot be financed by our company. See web site page  "Check availability" for details about prepayment options.   It would be a great help for us, if your relative, friend or business partner could  pay the first night's rent and the deposit on arrival day until 10 p.m. and wait for you. In this case of course you do not need to pay the 20 % surcharge. But we are available from 8 a.m. in the next morning, some guest  just wait at the airport, because they do not want to go to an expensive hotel in the downtown for that night. Early departure Can be announced latest until 6 p.m. on the previous day. Before 6 a.m. guest can be leaving / receiving the deposit/ only if the departure was announced earlier by phone, fax or at the time paying the deposit etc. At departure before 6 am. we have a surcharges of 20% . However in most cases we can find a solution for avoiding this surcharge. Watched parking site for cars - not for coaches- buses- at VIII.Bródy Sándor utca 18. This is a ground plot with a green fence and barrier just opposite the Hungarian Radio's staff entrance. We advise our guests to leave their cars at a watched parking lot. We hire some about 2-3 min. walk from VIII.Szentkirályi utca 5. or 6. We charge you  2500 Ft per a day. We give the parking site /magnetic card/ in the order of arrival, because guest often did not show up or took the parking site despite of their reservation. Our card can be used for parking until 10.30 a.m.in the last morning as the check out time in our apartments is. If you wish to use the parking site after the check out time, you have to pay 350 Ft per an hour extra to us. Before you return us the parking card, you have to drive your car out of the parking site.   If our places are occupied, it is also possible to pay for the car park on the spot. The price will be about 85 % higher, then.For the night they have lower price.  There is enough space  for  about 70 cars. You'll get a magnetic card from us for the parking site.The parking company required 3000 Ft deposit for each card from us. Please arrange it with our staff upon arrival. If you wish this parking site, one of you should stay in the car for taking out   the luggage and drive the car immediately  to the parking site. If not,  buy a parking ticket between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. upon arrival. You can pay with coins  or parking card available at VII.Dohany utca 90. The parking fee is  365 Ft per an hour  in our street, but you can pay for maximum 3 hours, then you have to go again to the machine and pay again. Parking on Saturday and Sunday is free of charge on our street. So you can avoid paying for parking, get fined or  blocked your front wheel on the street  by the city's parking company. There are more parking facilities  near us : Kalvin ter, Oswath utca etc. Some meters from the parking in Bródy Sándor utca you can find an  underground garage /underneath parking at Pollack Mihály tér / square opposite the main entrance of the Hungarian Radio Station. Fee is about 450 Ft per an hour. This is more expensive and you should keep the ticket definetely, because the fine is unbelievably high for loosing it !

Exchange rates: 1 $ ~180 Forint , 1 Euro ~ 268 Ft, GBP~ 297 Ft ( November 4th, 2009.),but changing daily ! The best to change it in a bank, but don't expect good rates at the airport or train stations ! Use the ATMs ! Some exchange offices give 1-4 Forint / 0,5-1.5 % / more for Euro etc., but some exchange offices  particularly on train stations and at airport give 10-20 % less than in the banks. If you can, please avoid changing money at airport or train stations. Be cautious and compare before changing a larger amount. For example around the metro 2 Astoria station you'll find 4-5 banks with ATMs. You find an exchange office with good rates opposite the train station Keleti pu. at VII. Thokoly ut 12. Rail way station Nyugati : right from the main entrance on Terez korut 80 m from McDonald's is also an exchange office with good rates. We accept Euro, USD, PLN, CZK, ROL etc.  not only for deposit, but also for the rent at the bank rate of K&H Bank. Living room The apartments are altered for renting them as a pension.
