The hotel should be renovated. It's 15 min walking to the center. No a/C. Could be cleaner. Thermal bath is great. Breakfast quite ok. Price is ok too. Free Internet in Lobby. Friendly and quick staff.

The spa is a wonderful experience and the massages were tops, but it was hard getting over the disappointing state of the hotel itself. The Danubius Group is really 'sweating' this asset. The only thing new in my hotel room were the sheets. Pretty much everything else - carpets, towels, bathrobes, drapes were threadbare. The room/halls needed painting. Bathrooms as... More

This place was obviously the swishest spot in town once upon a time and it's now looking a little like it's stuck in a time warp. I read umpteen reviews saying that it needed "a makeover". Well, if you want homogenised American hotel chain accommodation, this place may not be for you. My partner and I, however, loved it. Retro... More

I had chosen this hotel for its 'art nouveau' look, its famous old spa and expecting well some nostalgia. OK there is a bit of all that and that's wonderful but I must say some rooms are really horrible: noisy and uncomfortable, not only the rooms but bathrooms would also require some renovation. So much that I was really happy... More

Although this hotel’s heyday was at the turn of the 19th century it still has a great deal to offer. We had a superior room on the first floor overlooking the river which was spacious well appointed and with a balcony and views across the river to Pest. The undoubted highlight is the swimming and spa facilities. The indoor pool... More

Ok, so the tired old dame lacks the funds for a refurb, but a service makeover would cost nothing. Faceless, perfunctory, disorganised, disempowered. From trying to do us over by checking us into what must have been single room staff quarters at one time, to the most ridiculously stupid spa ticketing system, coupled with lazy breakast room table turnovers, and...
