We absolutely loved our stay here and would be delighted to come back. It was easy to get around the city and to the Hungaroring (we stayed over the F1 weekend) from the hotel. Stay were friendly and helpful. Our room was a great size (family of 4), with a lovely bathroom and amazing view of the Danube. Food was delicious at the hotel - we very much enjoyed the buffet breakfasts and also ate an evening meal there. The pools were a huge hit too! Overall, fantastic, and would 100% recommend to anyone considering a visit!

Have stayed with this hotel over 15 years and always enjoyed. The last few stays we had the breakfast included. This visit the breakfast buffet was very disappointing. Coffee machines kept malfunctioning and when finally attended too gave very substandard coffee. Tea was fine except when nobody noticed the hot water was out or not working. Long lines for coffee, so food cold once you finally get back to your table. Not able to get regular brewed coffee at all. Also, poor ladies at the egg/omolet station very busy (long lines) and not much direction at how to line up or place an order. Again, very disappointed and think we will look at other accommodation when visiting in future
