We loved it.
The hotel and our room were beautiful. We enjoyed our balcony and view of the Danube. Service was great as was the food in the restaurant. Having the baths attached was a real plus. The only drawback was not having air conditioning on some of the hottest days of summer (104 F). Still we enjoyed our stay.

No air conditioning!
The price was right (for a 3-day special) but the room had no air conditioning at all and the room outlets looked ancient. I also found a big bug in the bathroom, which may not be the hotel’s direct reponsibility since I had to open the windows as far as possible to get some air into the room. But I saw another guest complain to the front desk about the same things. The business office, front desk people and maintenance personnel are very good, though, and the mineral springs worth going to.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
Contrary to what I had heard, many people do speak English in Budapest (bus drivers, so-so). You have to display your metro ticket about every time you take it, but the ticket checkers speak English and are not mean. Dreher beer is very good. When you first get into the train station, have the help desk call a taxi for you. Do NOT get more money from the exchanges there than you need for a taxi, because they charge a ridiculous 30% premium ($20 in forints should be enough).

Disappointed
We had been in Hungary 4 years ago and loved the Gellert Bath. We figured the hotel would be fabulous after being at the spa, however the hotel was outdated and a huge disappointment. The hotel was so hot that none of us slept at all thru the night. We also had a huge bug in our bathroom and the room itself was very outdated and did not look in any way impressive at all. The hotel staff were fabulous and professional. We Enjoyed being close to the spa, however I cannot tell you how sad we were to take our family there and see rooms in such a condition as they were. The outside of the hotel and the lobby area are absolutely beautiful, but that is not the case in the rooms themselves.
