I was here with my partner jan. 29. - feb. 01. to relax. The trip was my birthday present to her :) Super excellent breakfast! (The waiters could ask about coffee/tea a bit faster though) They will make you any omelet with no extra charge. Service is flawless. The reception will help you with anything. I have seen that other... More

My boyfriend decided to spoil me on a romantic surprise weekend in Budapest and booked the gellert. The spa was absolutely brilliant and very good value for treatments and the food in the restaurant was excellent. Budapest is a beautiful city and we had a lovely weekend. Would highly recommend the gellert- especially for the spa! More

I LOVE this hotel. This was my second visit with my husband for a relaxing romantic weekend. The price of the room includes free entry to the hotel baths and spa which are amazing. Thermal pools, saunas, swimming pools, massages(extra cost of about €20 for 30 mins). Fantastic. Friendly staff, great buffet breakfast, nice little bar. Champagne brunch on a... More

We stayed in this architecturally beautiful grand hotel right next to the BME university in Budapest, and thought it was very interesting. We payed up a bit for a better room, and what we didn't realize was that the rooms on the front side of the hotel are VERY noisy. At 4am the tram line runs right out front, and... More

fantastic throwback to a different era - amazing lobby, fantastic baths that just are amazing to explore for hours, stained glass windows everywhere. This bit is fantastic.. Then the rooms themselves are very average. Very old, need updated, but clean. Small rooms. Okay at best. But then I'm not really in budapest to be in my room. Morning comes, a... More

A juxtapositon of a hotel, combining old-world charm from a by gone age, with a bit of left-over communism thrown up, and some modernisation. Huge rooms and modernised bathrooms, with great views over Pest and the Gellert Hills. Fabulous reception, great buffet breakfast in the grand dining-room, good value cafe, and classic dining room. In-house access to the spa, with... More

The on site bath house here is fun and refreshing. But the rooms were musty and needed updating. I'd opt not to stay here again, and instead visit the historic Rudas baths if I were to go back to Budapest. More
