“I was not happy there”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

I booked a beautiful room which was in the homepage and they gave me a tiny, boring and old horror room saying this is all available. On top of that it was a smoking room! With smoke smell all over. I tried to get another and showed me another one in the tail end looks haunted!! I was very upset... More

“The baths are the reason to go there...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

... unless you are a fan of "eastern bloc romanticism"! The baths are beautiful and of course it's nice if you can access them wearing a bathrobe and walking there from your room. But don't expect too much of the rest of the hotel. The staircase with the coloured glass windows is beautiful, they have a nice pub on the... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2013

A hotel out of the past with a great history - just don't expect the bits that a 2012 hotel tacks on. High ceilings, casement windows (that open!), grand stairway with stain glass decor, solid construction so it's quiet, great buffet breakfast, one free visit to the Gellert Spa (subsequent ones are 1/2 price), next to the Danube (but it's...

“very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2013

Shabby room, rather overpriced, certainly not 4 stars. But the worst was a weekend convention with all public spaces full of drinking and partying locals. The lobby turned into a vulgar and extremely noisy discotheque, the first floor into a village fare. Complete disrespect to paying hotel guests. Adjacent baths spectacular!
