“Perfect 🙂”
My second visit to the Grand Jules and it won’t be my last. I will return as I have so much more to see in Budapest. The location opposite parliament is magnificent waking in the morning lifting the curtain to see the Danube right there is something special. The staff each and every person we dealt with were fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are clean and facilities great. I would recommend the taxi service to and from the airport also. Breakfast is varied and lots of choice.

“Room smelt of tobacco”
Extremely disappointing stay room strongly smelled of tobacco Came here with my husband for oyr anniversary and my 40th birthday. Our stay was seriously let down by the condition of the room. From the moment we entered, there was a very strong smell of stale tobacco/cigarette smoke throughout the room especially the bathroom 1 of the staff acted lilw ae was daft and said it didnt smell and then the other agreed said it needes a deep clean but nothing ever changed. I couldnt comfortably stay in the room as made me feel ill. It was so noticeable that it was impossible to ignore, and the smell remained throughout our stay. We had booked the room expecting it to be clean, fresh and suitable for a comfortable stay, but instead we were left having to put up with a strong tobacco smell that we had not caused and should never have had to accept. What made the situation even more disappointing was the way our complaint was handled. We raised the issue because the smell was genuinely unpleasant, but rather than feeling properly listened to or looked after, we felt that our concerns were dismissed. When you have paid for a hotel room, you shouldn't have to spend your stay dealing with cigarette smoke. This wasn't a minor smell that disappeared after opening a window it was strong, obvious and deeply unpleasant all we was given was a air freshner it affected our enjoyment of the room and ultimately our whole experience. For the price we paid, I expected a much higher standard. If a room has previously been exposed to heavy smoking, it should be properly cleaned, ventilated and dealt with before another guest is put into it. Was a joke

“Quirky peaceful stay”
I wanted to celebrate my 60th somewhere special and this was it Comfortable double bed with a tv and fridge which was great. Set on the danube with absolutely stunning views especially when lit up at night. Where we loved sitting on the deck taking in the peace. The staff are so friendly and so helpful with us ordering a taxi etc. The breakfast was lovely too. Plenty to choose. I would definitely recommend here and would love to come back sometime. Would recommend margarets restaurant opposite and the night sightseeing boat with a four course meal and live music and dancing.

“Cats would love it…”
Booked as a last minute budget break…so budget accommodation we most certainly got. Reception staff are very good and helpful but, reading the headline statement on here, I can only say this is most definitely NOT a ‘recently renovated ‘ boat….its as dated as dated can be!!! Rooms are relatively clean but extremely small (cats would love them as there’s not enough room to swing one!!). Deco leaves a lot to be desired but at least the air con worked. Decking areas are uneven and dreadfully maintained….and don’t go looking for a bar on board as it just doesn’t exist. The Danube is extremely low at present which makes getting onboard and disembarking ‘fun’ to say the least…..certainly wouldn’t recommend if you struggle with walking. On a positive note, spectacular views across the river to the parliament building and very close to one of the bridges to take you to the other side of the river
