Great selection. Glad I made the detour to visit this store during my short Budapest stay. I wanted to buy a Heartstopper volume as a (somewhat uninspired) celebratory souvenir from post-Orbán Hungary, but ended up buying a selection of other books.

Very friendly service and probably the best selection of books in Budapest. They have fiction and non-fiction and also a huge range of children’s learning books including Cambridge curriculum maths and English and practically every other subject you could wish for. We just went in for the final Harry Potter book which of course they had in stock. 😊😊😊. Thank you.

I have been a customer of this store for about three years now. Every month I go, my spent is about 40k average once I collect dictionaries. Always, I have the liberty to use the bathroom. Today the lady (who must be the most frustrated woman I've ever met in my life) didn't want me to use the bathroom. I'm really sorry I lost my temper and cursed them. Yet, I wanted to spend the same money again. Unfortunately, I will never go back to this store. They lost one of their best clients. I also left my discount card that I use every time I used to go there. Denying a basic human need because I hadn't bought anything yet at that very moment is so low whilst it's so easy to put signs that the use of the bathroom will be charged if you are not a buying client. I'm very sad once this was my favorite language books store in Budapest.

My favorite place if I am buying English books, I do not think if there is a shop so wide choice of English books in Hungary. as far as I know there is 15% discount price for regular customers

Easily the best bookstore in Budapest. The collection is outstanding — shelves packed with books on every subject, and the store is spacious and well laid out, making it a great place to browse. Prices are excellent, and the staff are genuinely helpful and polite. The whole place has a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to spend hours there. I always enjoy coming back. A must-visit for anyone who loves books.
