a la carte breakfast could use some improvement.

External breakfast review of egg omelette with Hungarian lecsó from à la carte. Pros: + Very welcoming professional staff. + Place is a stunning landmark of early 20th century architecture near Elizabeth Square. Cons: Dish was undeveloped for 4 main reasons: 1. Lecsó was flat and tasteless 2. Eggs were unseasoned 3. Eggs to Lecsó proportion was unbalanced. 4. Hungarian pork sausage did not smell right/fresh. Improvement suggestions: 1. A grilled lecsó would work better during summer months. Choice of paprika needs to be more careful, perhaps bocskor or kapia. 2. A simple addition of some spices e.g. Numtmeg; pepper and a bit more salt would do the job. 3. Proportion was off, way too much eggs for the amount of lecsó. Last 10 bites were just tasteless eggs 😕. 4. Handcrafted sausages from local butchers in Hungary would do the job fantasticly. Delivered fresh few times a week, of course, to avoid preservative and unpleasant smells when grilling. Thanks for the staff for checking on me multiple times. Hope this gets to the chef. Jus a bit more thoughts and effort will get this place to 5 stars in breakfast 😉 Alex

Fantastic stay

We (2 adults and 1 child) stayed here for 1 week in a Skyline suite. We had a great stay with compliments to the hotel from top to bottom on the accommodations and service. Even though this is a beautiful hotel (more details below), I would argue that the staff’s hospitality and service were probably the best part of our stay. Every staff member we met went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and feel at home, above and beyond what we’ve experienced at other 5-star hotels. We’re very grateful to staff for their tremendous hospitality! Special shout out to Daniel who took amazing care of us in the club and Kyla in the lobby who went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. But all of the staff we encountered were amazing, kind and warm. In relation to the room, the Skyline suite we stayed in had great views of the city directly over Erzsebet park with a great view of St. Stephen’s Basilica and even to the Parliament building and opera house. The windows spanned the entire suite, from bedroom to the living room, where there is foldout couch. The room was clean and overall very nicely done, as was the entire hotel (from lobby to club). Lastly, you can’t beat the location. Almost everything you’d want to see on the Pest side of the Danube is within a 15-20 minute walk, including the parliament building. I was expecting longer walks from what I had seen on the map prior to arriving, but I literally walked to the Parliament building in about 15 min. There are also countless restaurants in the area. The location on Erzsebet park also makes it an easy place to grab a taxi or Uber. All in all, the next time we’re in Budapest, we’ll be back.

The hotel is located at heart of the city close to both commercial areas as well as cultural. Very attractive interiors and all services at the very top of what you can expect! Highly recommend to stay here! Wonderful breakfast area and very nice SPA with a great gym attached.
