The Gellert is a classic hotel constantly being renovated to maintain it's look. The rooms are basic but hey, you only need them to sleep and a base. Both restuarants are fab and the coffee rooms have fantastic cakes and ice cream. The Roman baths are to die for as are the massages and the other services. The only draw... More

I think this is a hard hotel to rate. I imagine, like us, most people stay here to take advantage of the Gellert baths. Staying at the hotel gives you access to the baths so it was very nice to get up in the morning and head to the thermal baths. After a day of sight seeing, we would have... More

I went with friends to an extended holiday as well as business. We booked an economy room with two single beds. The room was adequate for our needs, The beds were in an alcove and changed every day and there was area for sitting as well. We had a small mishap when the bathroom flooded. I think the economy rooms... More

We stayed at the Gellert in a superior room for 3 nights at the end of March. We loved the hotel and the baths and will certainly stay again. We chose to eat at the Brasserie on the night we arrived from Canada and had made a reservation several weeks prior through Budapest Restaurant Week. Our treatment at the Brasserie... More

I love this hotel and stayed there ,any times when I lived in Eastern Europe. Ok, so the rooms are a bit tired and could use a bit of a facelift, but the attached thermal spa is amazing!! Indoor and outdoor natural thermal springs, sauna, steam room, massage etc, all set in such a beautiful building. The character of the... More

I've been to Budapest around 20 times in the last 12 years and in the beginning I was drawn to the Gellert for its unbeatable location and, of course, the famous baths. Over the years, though, prices increased to astronomical levels - while the rooms got ever dirtier. So I stayed clear of the Gellert for several years (I found... More

Spent a long weekend in Budapest with some friends. We all stayed in single rooms, which turned out to be rather small, but adequate. From what I heard, the equipment can differ somehow (e.g. no room safe or bar). I was lucky to have a suite with separate living room. The rooms and facilities are charmfully well-worn, but beautiful &... More

The Gellert appears as a four-star hotel. What justifies the four stars: - friendly service - excellent breakfast - amenities like a 'business centre' - direct and free access to the fantastic Gellert baths What you should not want is: - Modern rooms - the one I stayed in has seen the last overall renovation probably after WWII and furniture...
