The service that we received during our stay was great. The employees were very attentive. We especially enjoyed our late afternoon coffee in the Club Lounge with Fruzsina. She was very kind, sweet and amazingly helpful. She will be the core memory we look back on when we think about our stay at this hotel.

I absolutely adore this hotel! From start to finish, my stay was a fantastic experience, and I can confidently say that their breakfast was the best I had during my entire trip. The restaurant staff were truly top-notch—so warm and attentive. On my last day, the breakfast restaurant manager(give her a raise!) noticed how much I loved the traditional Hungarian bread, Pogácsa, and went out of her way to gift me the recipe and even pack a bag for me to take along. That thoughtful gesture completely made my day! Every morning, I couldn’t wait to start my day with their amazing breakfast. And let me tell you about their cappuccino—unlike the usual, uninspired machine-made ones, this was beautifully prepared, rich, and absolutely delicious. I loved it so much I had two cups every morning! The hotel’s location was also great. While it was a bit far from the main train station, I was still able to visit all the major attractions on foot in just one day, which made it super convenient. Their dinner restaurant was pretty good too. Now, for a couple of minor things they could improve: The bathroom layout was a bit odd, even for a solo traveler like me. The shower stall was very small (and I’m quite petite!), and there wasn’t enough space for my skincare and makeup products. Also, whenever I washed my face, water splashed everywhere. Additionally, my room faced the street, and it was a bit too loud for me to fall asleep. Still, highly recommend.

This is not up to the standards of a Ritz Carlton hotel at all. From the moment we walked in our room was not ready. It took over 1.5 hours to get our luggage brought to the room. After waiting long for our luggage I asked for another luggage rack for the room and it never came. There were no pleasantries from the staff. We came from Ritz Carlton Berlin which was the polar opposite. We were offered drinks and Christmas treats. There was nothing in Budapest. The breakfast was mediocre at best. No one smiled. While I had a very nice massage from Vera in the spa the spa was tiny and offered very little. Children were also allowed in and it was noisy. Not what you want to hear while you are trying to relax One of the biggest issues for me was the noise. We were backing on to the fashion street it was where the garbage is picked up. Loud at 6am every morning. We paid for a 5 star hotel and this was a 3.5 at best. We were really disappointed.
