Loved the location of this hotel, within walking distance of Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion. There were plenty of restaurants nearby too. They had an underground parking garage which was super helpful too. Breakfast was extra, so we tried it out on one of the mornings we were there, it was pretty good.
