"Architecturally, the hotel was amazing. Nearly every common space was gorgeous. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The Rooms: though clean and spacious, there were several problems.
1. Electrical was wired so that plugs next to desk would lose electricity when room lights were turned off. This meant that I could not use the desk lamp without the room light being on too.
2. The plumbing would stay on after flushing about 50% of the time. This made noise and wasted water. I learned that you have to repeatedly depress the button until it unsticks.
On a good note, the shower had excellent water pressure and always dispensed hot water.
The hallways: though clean had other problems.
1. There were numerous instances of peeling wallpaper on the 5th floor.
2. Peeling wallpaper made me concerned about whether there was black mold behind it and since I wasn’t going to risk my own safety I kept my distance.
The Spa: absolutely amazing to look at. Jacuzzis could have been made warmer. Temperature was much lower than the average American standard of around 102°F. Not sure if this is due to Hungarian laws.
Breakfast: excellent food. Wide variety. Outstanding service. Staff were great!
Our arrival. Our rooms were supposed to be ready by 3pm. After 17 hours of flying and layovers we hoped to check in 15 minutes early (2:45PM). Alas, the rooms weren’t ready for another 3.5 hours. It was after 6 pm when we finally got our key cards. For the inconvenience, we were comped breakfast."
