the original allocated room was a little on the small side compared with the impression i had when seeing the pictures but was given another room for the next day onward and was fully satisfied. Would benefit to have breakfast included in the price but other than that a very good trip.

It was still quite dated however that contributes to the feel of staying on a boat. The staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make a great experience. The double beds could do with a double duvet rather than two singles.

River view was stunning and so was the view from the deck, however rooms are tired and could do with modernizing but that could have effect on the price.

Great location! Staff are super friendly. Couldn’t do enough for you. This is not an upper class hotel and nor is it trying to be. Simple accommodation, great location, AMAZING VIEWS DAY AND NIGHT. Convenient to main tramline and hop on hop off city bus tours. 5 minute walk gets you to a really good all you can eat restaurant that provides high quality food for what is a very reasonable price. The guys at this hotel were some of the pleasant people who I met in Budapest. Nothing was too much trouble day or night!

The staff were all very helpful and extremely friendly. The decor is dated, but very clean. The room we had with river view was large and had superb views of Parliament. Very pleasant stay.

Consider the larger cabins, the small cabins are small, just enough for sleeping. But you do have all the deck to move around in.

Pleasant stay in a lovely city

Really liked it here. Breakfast was simple but fresh and the staff were very helpful. Only downsides were you can't walk down the side of the bed due to space, shower power was variable and don't leave your key if you go out at night (as they suggest) as reception is not constantly manned and the room keys are just on hooks.

A hotel boat- how quaint! I loved my stay here! The location was great, close enough to walk anywhere, but not too close. The only issue being is you are close to Margit bridge and the trams are quite loud. The staff were very kind and helpful. The bed was REALLY comfy, and the towels so fluffy! Kindly they gave me a room with river views and the view was excellent. Maids came daily and cleaned, although I would have preferred it if they also hoovered the room during my stay. One thing I really loved about this hotel is sitting out on the deck reading my book with views of the parliament, széchenyi bridge, and royal palace at night! I would definitely stop here again!

Great location and views..thin walls

Staff very friendly and excellent location with great views from the boat. Walls are paper thin though and you can hear conversations next door spoken at normal volume. Rooms are very warm which was great in winter! And can open the window if you want some fresh air. Helpful that free parking is right next door as well!
