Lovely newly refurbished hotel. We booked a junior suite with breakfast. Our room (110) was situated on a corner with windows overlooking the Central Market Hall on one side and views over the square to Liberty Bridge from the other. The decor is beautiful, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and well appointed. My only negative about the room is there are no drawers, cupboards etc, so when you unpack everything is on display. It’s just a personal preference for me as I like the room to look tidy. Breakfast is on level -1 and there is lots of choice of continental options and a few hot dishes, the scrambled eggs were especially good. The room was never very busy when we ate, usually around 9am. We felt the hotel was in an excellent location with a number of restaurants in very short walking distance. We had a late flight home and the hotel was able to store our luggage until late afternoon for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Hier ist eine sprachlich überarbeitete Version deiner Bewertung: Das Hotel bzw. unser Zimmer waren sehr gut und für uns als Familie perfekt. Die Kinder hatten sogar einen eigenen Bereich mit Fernseher, was natürlich toll war. Etwas störend war lediglich, dass für beide Fernseher nur eine Fernbedienung vorhanden war und diese zudem beide Geräte gleichzeitig steuerte. Aber letztendlich fährt man ja nicht zum Fernsehen in den Urlaub. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es für das Frühstück bzw. den Frühstücksraum. Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war meiner Meinung nach völlig ausreichend und die Speisen haben gut geschmeckt. Der Frühstücksraum selbst konnte jedoch mit der Qualität des restlichen Hotels nicht mithalten. Er wirkte eher wie ein kleiner Kellerraum, an dessen Decke sich stellenweise bereits die Farbe löste. Zudem war er sehr eng bestuhlt und insgesamt recht klein. Als vierköpfige Familie war es oft nicht einfach, einen passenden Platz zu finden. Und wenn man einen gefunden hatte, wurde man durch die vielen Gäste, die sich am Buffet bewegten, ständig gestört. Abgesehen davon war aber alles top! Lage, Sauberkeit und Freundlichkeit des Personals waren hervorragend. Sollten wir wieder einmal nach Budapest reisen, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder.
