I found the Hotel to be good. The room was a little small and amenities were few, but you have to understand where you are . The Soviets left the region in about 1991. Lots of rebuilding to do . I had a wonderful time though . Nice bar in lobby . Fair price for Hotel room. Breakfast staff were awesome. They were from Barcelona or Spain area I believe. The breakfast was very good I thought. The coffee was actually very decent. Overall, this is a solid hotel in a great district that gives you the flavour of the "Pest" region of Budapest. There is a Vietnamese noodle house about 15 minutes walk from the hotel, which was particularly good as well. The locals would probably know the name of it. There are many museums, statues, and the house of tear, which is a must although disturbing , close by. Overall, it would not hesitate to stay here again, the country seems very well run and has a very bright future in front of it. I feel. Coming out of the deep bowels of communism is not easy, but they seem to be doing it under the current leadership in the country ! The hotel decor is a little bit dated, but it's clean and efficient. As in any country, do not leave valuables exposed in your room. The Hungarian people are awesome and trustworthy. Being from Vancouver Island, security and crime is not an issue, however, while travelling internationally, one has to be vigilant to boat, crime and theft in any city. I view the hotel and this city to be quite safe, but always be vigilant and don't leave valuables in the room. I would not leave valuables in the room in Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, United States, nor Budapest. I was very impressed with the local area and what is happening with the country as a whole. Great future.
