“Great location, rooms small, stairs steep. Overall well worth staying here.”

This is on a fantastic location if you are happy to walk a little way (10 minutes) to get to the closest trams and shops - the view from the rooms overlooking the river onto Margarit Island are wonderful. Many of the photos on other reviews seem to be of a luxury room. Our room was fairly small and basic, almost cramped. The boat is on two levels. The buffet breakfast is very good with yoghurts, pastries, fruit, cold meat and cheeses and hot sausages, scrambled egg and beans. Negatives are that stairs between the levels are steep and narrow, noise from people on the top of the boat can be very noisy for the rooms on the upper deck and the walls of the rooms are quite thin making noise travel easily between rooms.

“Great Place”

Excellent few days. We stayed on the Fortuna Boat Hotel which was excellent. Make sure you get a superior room. We had dinner in Gundel which is a fantastic experience. The thermal baths and the Fisherman's Bastion are excellent.

“The best hotel on the river”

The location of the hotel is on river, i’m not very far away from all the major locations and transport. An old style river cruise ship, the style of the boat as old high class luxury style. The rooms are comfortable clean as what a cabin should be. The bathroom is a classic wet room still keeping the style of boat. The staff are very friendly and very helpful to help you. The breakfast is a standard continental breakfast which is served worldwide. which was very freshly made. and plenty of variety. We had a late flight out so you have to book out at 11 o’clock as normal of all hotels but the nicest thing about this place is they will look after your baggage and you can still use all the facilities that they actually provided with so you can still go around the The city for one last time You really really don’t want to miss this hotel a sweet gem on the river

“Sad curtains”

I stayed here and the curtains do not close all the way, you pull it one way and its not long enough to hide the window, and then you pull it the other way, and its not long enough for that either. At night the street lights outside are very bright and disturb my sleep, and then I get woken up by the sunrise because the curtains dont hide the window. Also there's no fridge, its so hot and I can't cool my water down. Also the tv is only in hungarian, even when there's British shows on, its dubbed in hungarian and the only subtitles are also hungarian. The bathroom was very small and there's not much room to move about. There is only one plug which isnt great because its a twin room. There isnt a great deal of options for breakfast, and you have to be super early otherwise everything goes and they dont restock. Theres no lamps in the room, only big lights which isnt good for night time reading and it also flickers a lot. When we walked in the room stunk and it took 2 days to get the scent out. The stairs leading up to the first floor are very dangerous and small which isnt good for carrying luggage up the stairs. However the beds are comfy but you do only get 1 small pillow. There is also no safe to put valuable items in which makes me feel unsafe. Outside on the deck was very dirty and the floor was crunchy because of the flaking paint. However it is in a good location and pretty central. Good price too.
