Fantastic! Everything about our stay was great. The hotel features a huge play area for kids, a great outdoor pool, and excellent spa facilities. We truly liked everything, and the breakfast was great too. One small thing to note is that they hosted some kids' activities run by an outside company (not by the hotel itself). It didn't bother us at all and we would still absolutely choose this place again, but it would have been nice to be informed beforehand. In general, a super cool and great experience!

The property is beautiful and its location is perfect! Walking distance from monuments like Heroes Circle and the oldest Turkish bath in town. We were there for Formula 1 and the drive to Hungaroring was 20 minutes (without traffic)! The front desk staff were also very helpful and booked all of our dinner reservations and taxi rides. I would stay here again and again!
