Wonderful, elegant hotel in a fabulous location for enjoying beautiful Budapest. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Breakfast was fantastic and the views from the roof top bar were amazing. Highly recommend. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Excellent hotel, great location, WONDERFUL staff (especially reception!!). Pity the heating was out-of order on our visit, but everything else was so lovely and the staff were working hard to get the issue addressed. Breakfast plentiful with a good variety.

Booked this as it was a 4 star in a good location. The location is excellent but that’s as far as it goes. The room was dirty, cups not cleaned, bathroom not clean you can see it, hotel staff unhelpful and unhappy. Lamp was broken, breakfast was poor. Towels were rough and the beds and bedding were dire! The double bed was 2 twins zipped together. It was so uncomfortable and just felt dirty, we found a dirty crisp packet in the top of the cupboard -just disgusting.This was a British Airways holiday and I will most definitely be in touch with them on this. I only didn’t book a 5 star as the location wasn’t as good but sorely regret it as everything is within walking distance.

Lets start with the bad - The Superior Room we were first given is described on the hotel website as 'overlooking a quiet covered courtyard', the staff seemed surprised at this as the statement is incorrect. The flatscreen TV is outdated with a minimal selection of international channels and poor reception, the climate control is only active during the summer and the windows were definitely not soundproof. Additionally the radiator could not be turned off, the room was over hot, only one skylight window opened, there was only hot water from the tap, the sink didn't drain and we were opposite a noisy building site that started work at 07:00 am. Now for the good - I insisted on another room. The second room was bigger, everything worked as it should and the widows kept out more of the building noise. It was all we could have expected from a 4 star hotel. The location is excellent, being within walking distance to a majority of the attractions. The breakfast selection was good with plenty of gluten and lactose free alternatives. The rooftop terrace has amazing views toward the castle and the staff are friendly. If we were initially given our second room this would've been a 5* review.

Hotel was very impressive on entrance and check in went very smoothly. As we got to the room, we noticed lots of stains on the floor and were only roof windows that we couldn’t open and we couldn’t put the blinds up and down. The room was very hot. We reported the problem to reception and were made to feel uncomfortable, the staff were unprofessional laughing about us and giggling and speaking in Hungarian so we couldn’t understand. Maintenance arrived made us feel like we were stupid, went back down and the problem was still not fixed. We reported again to reception and asked if a room change was possible and they told us it shouldn’t be a big deal if the blinds were not working. Maintenance came back again and finally fixed the blinds. Shower fitting was also loose on the wall. Bed was comfortable but sofa bed was not (expected), Other than the room the hotel was ok, breakfast was nice. Pool was not open in the spa unfortunately which we were expecting to use.

We recently (Feb 2024) stayed five nights in a Superior Double Room. 1 Location is excellent- it is easy to walk to many top sights and also easy to access public transport from here 2 The room we were allocated is not in the main building and is accessed by walking through an inside courtyard. The rooms face this inside courtyard so you don’t have an exterior window 3 we couldn’t believe how hot our room was in February. There is AirCon but we were told it is only seasonally. Not fun to sweat in your room in February! We asked for a fan and were told they weren’t available. We noticed many rooms that faced the inner courtyard had windows opened so the lack of access to fresh/ outside air plus the heat of the rooms was quite uncomfortable. Some evenings we came back to the room and tried to keep the hotel door open for a while to help get cooler air in. 4 Music pumping through the hotel may be nice by day, but on two nights we had to ask for it to be turned off once it was past 10pm. One morning it was back on by 6.45am and another morning 7.15am. Since the room faces an inner courtyard and you need a window open to try to be comfortable, you hear the music in your room. We asked about why the music going throughout the hotel and was told that the manager wanted it. Why?! People want to sleep. 5 You can’t ring reception- the phones don’t work. So you can message reception through a web chat or traipse down to reception to ask for the music to be turned off after 10pm 6 The shower had really good water pressure. 7 The breakfast buffet has a good amount of choice but the hot food doesn’t stay hot. The food was only okay. 8 The rooftop bar has a stunning view of the area and it is worth popping up there! **Overall, I don’t recommend the hotel and wouldn’t stay here again because of the heat of the room with no way to get relief as there is no AirCon or fans and the unnecessary music blasting through the hotel late into the evening and early in the morning! We tried to resolve both concerns while we stayed and this was not possible. If you do stay here, make sure you get a room with an exterior window to get some fresh air!

Great hotel and service. Sofia was very helpful, she always made sure everything is on top. We arrived early 11 am but the room was already ready and they let us check in early. The location is great with good restaurants and also close to the nightlife if you are young and wild 😛

A great location, friendly staff and excellent breakfast, however the heat in the rooms is uncontrollable and utterly unbearable with no outside window to use to obtain fresh air. When we complained to reception they said this is normal and nothing they could do, they sent maintenance around who shrugged their shoulders and placed a fan inside the room. They would not offer a room change to one with a street facing outside window which we felt was really poor customer service. Whilst we were checking out another couple in front of us were also complaining about then excessive heat. Please don’t think this is just warm it was absolutely boiling estimate it to have been 30 degrees plus. The advertised swimming pool is also out of order and it looks as though it has been for some time. If you like it hot then this is for you, but I would not recommend this hotel.
