Air conditioning does not work and the rooms are too hot. Nothing could be done about it and I notice from other reviews that this is not a new issue. The towels are very thin and worn Otherwise a great hotel but when you can’t sleep because it’s too hot (in October) then it spoils the holiday

What a grand hotel! We enjoyed our time here - the staff from the moment we arrived were very welcoming and helpful with tourist information and the room was spacious and clean, with a good sized bathroom. We enjoyed both the indoor heated and outdoor pool as well as the Swedish and Infra red saunas- didn’t get a chance to use the gym unfortunately. Great location just a short walk to so many dining and bar options. Even though we were in a busy area the hotel was very quiet and slept well in the plush bed. We would definitely stay again if we return to Budapest. Thank you !

An excellent stay, we were very well looked after and can recommend. Only drawback of the stay was the absence of English Tea at breakfast. However a manager by the name of Levente, was excellent and always seemed to source us a tea bag, a very lovely and helpful person. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, close to all facilities, and bars/restaurants.
