I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Danubius Hotel Gellert. The location is superb, right by the Danube and within walking distance to historic sites, and the spa is a major highlight. However, my room was quite dated and uncomfortable, and the noise from a wedding celebration made it hard to relax at night. Overall, the charm of the hotel shines through, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

However, the condition of the suite was disappointing, with worn-out furnishings and poor air conditioning. Breakfast offered a decent variety, but the lack of change made it monotonous after a few days.
