Well okay it's technically Central Europe...

It was supposed to be a 4 star hotel and it may be in Hungary but it most definitely isn't in most other countries. It's on the outskirts of Budapest and I was staying there for a conference so I didn't have much choice!

Check-in was okay and my room was on the 6th floor facing the front. The views were lovely and my room was huge due to it actually being an apartment. I had a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom although the kitchen had no crockery etc in it at all apart from 2 wine glasses.

The decor was dated as I expected for the country but it was clean. The bathroom tiles matching the carpet was rather odd though... The towels in bathroom were tiny. One was like a slightly large facecloth and what I presume was the bath towel was not much bigger than a hand towel. I'm a sz10 and the towel didn't quite wrap round me! There was also a hole in the bathroom ceiling where water from upstairs dripped through when the occupant had a shower.

The main problem was the lift. There were actually two but one never worked during my stay (5 nights) and the other kept breaking down. I had to walk up the stairs to my room quite often and I was very glad I was only on the 6th floor. The stairwells were also used as dumping ground for old furniture so it didn't exactly show the hotel off very well.

All in all it's an okay hotel if you are there for a conference as there is no where else to stay (apart from the Riga which is also joined to the conference centre and seemed to be comparable in so many ways). If you are a tourist don't stay here - find somewhere much nearer to town.
