Location, floating on the Danube River, was fantastic. Wonderful views from our room facing the river. Fantastic views from top deck. Hungarian Parliament lit up at night was my favourite. Loved the breakfast with lots of variety. All staff very helpful. Only downside was the rooms are in need of a bit of tlc but was an awesome experience and would definitely stay again.

the original allocated room was a little on the small side compared with the impression i had when seeing the pictures but was given another room for the next day onward and was fully satisfied. Would benefit to have breakfast included in the price but other than that a very good trip.

It was still quite dated however that contributes to the feel of staying on a boat. The staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make a great experience. The double beds could do with a double duvet rather than two singles.

Great location! Staff are super friendly. Couldn’t do enough for you. This is not an upper class hotel and nor is it trying to be. Simple accommodation, great location, AMAZING VIEWS DAY AND NIGHT. Convenient to main tramline and hop on hop off city bus tours. 5 minute walk gets you to a really good all you can eat restaurant that provides high quality food for what is a very reasonable price. The guys at this hotel were some of the pleasant people who I met in Budapest. Nothing was too much trouble day or night!
