The food we got was absolutely amazing and really tasty, would definitely recommend that. A bit of a shame that they didn't have 3 of the starters that were on the menu. The waiter wasn't really that nice, and he seemed like he didn't really...care about us. It's a shame because it ruined the atmosphere a bit. I would still recommend it though, as the food was delicious.More

Stoped for an impromptu lunch before heading to our Viking cruise ship. Really nice staff and we all enjoyed the food. My tuna was delicious and the Caesar salads looked crisp and tasty. Nice home made lemonades we’re refreshing and all very good value

The waiter was really unpleasant and unpolite..... if you think they live with tourism, you understand everything. Definitively not the hungarian sense of hospitality.

We had a hamburger with fries; asparagus soup, a side of brokkoli and 2 orders of paprikas csirke, for EUR 150. For info purposes, paprikas csirke is typically granny food that is made from basic ingredients in general (we're hungarian). The food was good quality...and service was good, but at truly astonishing prices, even considering that it is in a touristy area and considering the crazy inflation. What was particularly frustrating is that above the mandatory service charge - which is of course understandable and reasonable - the waiter (who was otherwise very nice and good) requested an additional tip. Please note, THIS IS NOT THE USA and NO ONE WANTS IT TO BE! We will not go back to any restaurant that promotes a truly gratuitous and senseless tipping culture.More

Stopped by on the way to Budapest Castle and have to say that the food very good. The chef/ waiter was very chatty asking about our food and brought extra bread...Nice touch. Had goulash soup, Paprika chicken and burger with drinks- all excellent. However dropped...a star as price was well over £80.More

I had been here a few times, I like the ambience and the area in Castle Hill of course is beautiful. Always found it pricey for what is basically a glorified burger restaurant, but knowing it's a touristy area, I didn't really mind. This time...was the last straw - I find it fundamentally unfair to charge a customer for tap water, when the customer specifically asks for tap water instead of bottled water - and not put those prices on the menu, nor warn the customer beforehand that something as basic as tap water was going to be charged , CLOSE TO 2 EUROS NO LESS. Unconscionable, unfair, predatory and I will avoid this place again at all costs. The server was nice enough, seemed helpless and I just hope somebody managing this place takes the feedback. This made me angry. I know inflation is Hungary is staggering compared to other countries - but it is hitting everybody just the same, and if an establishment turns to trickery and penalizes customers for it, they will get blacklisted fast.More

If you see any negative reviews on here please review. The hotel is beautiful, modern and contemporary. The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. Nothing is too much for them. We were unsure as to where anything was and they were really helpful. The...hotel room is spacious and was extremely clean. If you are looking for a slightly quieter area in Buda I would definitely recommend this hotel.More
