The room was clean, parking was great, location a little bit off, maybe 20 min to city centre, but the owner doesnt let late check outs, you have to go with your car out of the garage till 11. Too bad if you would like to explore the city your last day.

We visited Margaret Island, which wasn't on our original itinerary and really enjoyed it. Lunch at the Grand hotel was fantastic and the spa next door was wonderful. The island itself is very picturesque and a nice place to walk and view the city.

Didn’t expect too much, but Budapest stole our hearts and tastebuds. Food was delicious and plentiful, typical home/comfort food. Restaurants and staff spoke good English, even the little ones off the broken path. Fantastic history and buildings.
