Parliament's Gothic spires demand attention, especially when illuminated at night. Margaret Island provides an urban escape with medieval ruins and musical fountains.

H2 Hotel Budapest

H2 Hotel Budapest

6/10 Okay
"Hotel was in a good location. No bed side tables (just weird). No in room coffee and if you brought a cup up from the dining area, the cleaning staff failed to remove it. We had a top floor unit which had a really nice outdoor area but there was broken glass left from the previous occupant. Beside the room issues, the hotel was adequate. Front end staff were amazing and the breakfast and dining area was good. "
