Szentendrei Holidays

I just returned from staying five nights at the Aurea Ana Palace Hotel in Budapest. It was outstanding. The room that I stayed in was very well priced for a hotel that I would rate at five stars. The reception staff was outstanding, as was the housekeeping staff anytime I needed anything. My room was immaculate the whole time. The beds were comfortable. My room had two large televisions, which I only used to play background music. There was a mini bar in the room and very large closet for putting away your clothes and unpacking your suitcases. Luxurious towels, bathroom amenities in the shower, and little touches like hair comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. The bed was fantastic. My room was very quiet because of the windows that they use were high-quality. There’s a small gym with two treadmills and a few weight machines. Even though I did not enter the spa, I did use the Massage services there twice and was extremely pleased with the quality of Massage and the Price. My room did not come with included breakfast. One morning I went to the beautiful restaurant for breakfast. There was a very large selection of just about everything you can Imagine in great coffee and orange juice. The price was a little steep at about $30 a person. The location of this hotel is excellent being two blocks from the parliament building and two blocks from the Danube. It is very close to the metro and trams that bring you to the popular places of Pest. Highly recommend this hotel.

Our unit is located in a historic building and just 1-3 blocks from several bus, tram and metro stops. It was clean and nicely decorated. It had a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, toaster, Keurig equivalent, and microwave. The bedroom is a loft upstairs with a very modern bathroom downstairs. We appreciated the availability of a washing/dryer machine and the included Netflix. A Budapest Rick Steves guide was available, which helped us plan our next day’s trip excursions.

Everything is perfect except the breakfast.After breakfast I feel very uncomfortable and I had a feeling that the ham had a problem.

Hotels.com lied about there being AC in the bedrooms, but the property host did not; although there was only one split during a heat wave, there are blackout blinds that allowed us to keep the apartment cool, and the host provided additional fans on request. The concierge/receptionist was truly lovely in every way and helped us pre-arrange taxis with car seats provided and gave good family-friendly recommendations for things to do in Budapest!

Everything was great, it’s a good location
