Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is the perfect hotel — located within Margaret Island, it is beautifully quiet and serene, away from the chaos of the city centre, but easily accessible by public transport. Staff are knowledgable and really helpful; the rooms are gorgeous and spacious; the spa is wonderful, with a range of spaces so that guests can spread themselves out when it’s busy. The breakfast is a buffet with something for every taste; the only downside is that items aren’t well labelled with allergens, so you could end up eating something that has a hidden ingredient. Otherwise, a wonderful stay. I would definitely return again.

The room was great, with a view of the Danube. It was comfortable and had everything necessary. The spa is great, as is the hotel staff. But the food..... This was a big problem. Many of the dishes we tried were inedible, extremely salty. Other were over cooked. What a pity, because everything else was very good

Great location in relaxing setting on Margaret Island..Hotel clean but showing signs of age in the indoor pool areas. Good selection at breakfast. Rooms are exactly as advertised & A/C worked well keeping us cool in the extreme heat. Fridge in room was great & much needed for cold drinks

This was a great property, they pretty much had everything including an hospital attached to the hotel, the bartender Daniel was absolutely fantastic, the spa was phenomenal, the gym was top-notch, love the little balcony, very cozy, the demographics was a little older but I didn’t have a problem with that, I will definitely recommend it if you are visiting Budapest

It’s a nice hotel with a good thermal spa located on a beautiful island at the center of the river. It’s only 25-30 minutes walking to the center. The breakfast was great with an excellent service. Big thanks to the staff. Also, it was a very kind surprise from the hotel for my birthday. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Service isnt well for that price

The hotel is old, room was pretty clean but the staff is not friendly at all. I understand there may be busy term but check in was sharp 15:00. And autopark they informed 15 Eur daily, we stayed around 22 hours and paid over 30 eur. We follow the instructions mentioned. The live music at bistro was cool. Far from the town, used taxi.
