Very Good

We had a very comfortable stay for a reasonable price. Thé hotel breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and room.
Thé hôtel is also in a great central location just a short walk to the river and cathedral. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and in a safe area.
So this is a great hotel..It's location is perfect for all visitors. It is a 10-12 minute walk from the last stop of the Airport Shuttle Bus 100E. (Highly recommend) The hotel itself is grand and welcoming. Great first impressions on arrival. The pictures of the room don't do it justice. I was expecting less but it was modern and perfect. Lovely and cool in the warm weather and shower pressure exceptional. One minute walk from Metro. I would stay again.
A very nice hotel in the heart of Budapest and within easy reach of many of the main sights and attractions. I was warly welcomed and on arrival by friendly staff.
Although I had booked the half-board meal options, I said I would skip the dinner on the first night and the staff kindly offered to move the meal to the following lunch, which was most helpful.
The room was clean and quiet, the bed comfy and the bathroom modern. The hotel is well maintained and larger than I was expecting.
Two small notes of opportunities to improve; 1) the bedroom curtains could be blackout and wider to block light, 2) the evening dinner was average with opportunity to be better.
I would happily stay again - the friendly/ helpful staff and room comfort were standout points for me.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
First, we felt very unwelcomed on this hotel. The stares are ridiculous, everytime we got on to the lobby weve seen some staffs who look at us head to foot. Really felt unwelcomed.
We arrived a day early on our trip and the front desk was able to get us a room, thats a nice gesture on their part. But the room they gave us was awful. The carpet was dirty, a lot of stains and the room was dusty.
The front desk was okay, she was able to help us but she shouldnt stay in a front, she wasnt smiling, we felt like she didnt want to be there. She seems okay but she looks unhappy working as front desk person.
The gym was old, alot of dust. Went upstairs to see the rooftop, it was very dark. Not a little light to guide us where to go. We had to use our phones to see the floors. The restaurant/breakfast area was pretty basic for a midrange priced hotel.
Over all, it was okay for our stay in this hotel.
Breakfast was good.
There are no swimming pools or wellness area.
Staff was nice.
Rooms were too hot and the climate could not be regulated.
Overall fine stay. The location is great!
This hotel was incredibly beautiful and provided a very comfortable stay. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was conveniently located in the heart of all the major attractions, making everything within walking distance. There were also many restaurants nearby if we needed a quick snack or drink, which were all just a short walk away from the hotel. I highly recommend this place; it has everything you need for a great vacation. Plus, there’s a rooftop restaurant with great views and drinks.
Friendly helpful staff, very clean in public spaces and room, comfy superking bed, good shower, good breakfast, great location. Really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.
Only comment and lower star relates to the quality of finish on the room. We had a superior room at the front of the hotel. The room was huge, and clean, just a little dated with some worn/damaged fittings and tired carpet.
As a space to sleep rest and get ready it was fine, but to truly claim a superior room status it really needs updating.
Room was lovely clean and warm. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. View from rooftop was stunning. Location perfect. Room had plenty of sockets but is in need of USB sockets.
