"The rooms were clean and the property well kept. However, something went wrong with the hot water heater in the hotel and we were without hot water for 2 days. The hotel ended up transferring us to their sister hotel (Exe Budapest Center), but I felt like a plumber should have been on hand to fix the hot water heater within a few hours."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a river view room which meant we had some stunning shots out of the window. A tip: close the curtains before you leave if you're going out for the day as the sun shines directly into the room and the air con will struggle. The room is spacious, with a good desk area for those who need to work. The only tiny downside is that the rooms are a bit dated. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly - from the bell hop to the concierge to the check in staff. They also have umbrellas to borrow.... The Lebanese restaurant was also very good. Extremely tasty food and definitely worth a try. A bit expensive for Budapest but worth it. We didn't use the other restaurant/bar nor did we have breakfast so can't really comment. The location if second to none. Your right next to the Chain Bridge and delightful day out is a walk across the bridge, onto the funicular railway up to the castle, Fisherman's Bastion and other attractions. 10 minutes to the Parliament and 10 minutes the other way to the Market and lots in between."
