I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is superb, nestled in a quiet area of the city, and only a short walk to the beautiful parks. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with efficient dry cleaning services available. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety, especially when it came to the Hungarian beef stew. The facilities were great, offering everything one could need for a pleasant stay.
