Faded Glory

The Gellert once was great...in the 1920s maybe. Since then it doesn't seem that any effort has been made on improving this hotel. My room was about the size of my college dorm room, twin bed, plywood dresser, tiny, tiny, tiny bathroom. Way overpriced for what I got. The only redeeming thing was the access to the Gellert Spas. That saved it for me.

Unbeatable location with great views!

Excellent position with a tram stop in front of hotel! Rooms were a good size with views over Budapest but with only portable air conditioning units were a little dated. Bathing and spa facilities were excellent and free to hotel residents! Good food throughout hotel and service excellent.

This is a very nice hotel for the money. Great staff and very accommodating. The rooms are somewhat dated but clean. The continental breakfast is not your basic breakfast and probably one of the best we had our experience traveling Europe- wonderful hot items to choose from. Definitel recommend this hotel.

Our trip to Budapest May, 2010

We walked to nearly everything--the hotel is right on the Danube River and there is a main bridge right in front of the hotel that crosses the river to the Buda side. The hote is massive--but easy to get around inside.

great place to stay in Budapest

Staff was wonderful, rooms very old and worn out, but very clean and bathrooms were modern. Loved having the Gellert baths there - probably would never have tried them if they hadn't been in my hotel
