If you are looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful to stop in Budapest then this place is great. We stopped for 3 nights and it worked out as roughly £50 per night. That includes breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was lovely. However, we did not eat dinner on the boat as it didn't look too nice. The boat is in... more

The boat is docked in the center of town, across from the island, which makes everything really convenient. Public transportation is about a 7 minute walk along the river away, which is not bad at all. I stayed in the hostel rooms, which are downstairs. It was a perfect size for me, very comfortable and affordable. I very much enjoyed... more

I stayed in the Fortuna Botel for nine nights. It was during the Sziget -week.

We booked a double room with a queen bed and were given a room divided into two cabins with four bunk beds. When we complained that this was not what we had booked the concierge simply said they didn't understand our booking - even though it was clearly stated on our booking confirmation & had given us the biggest room... more
