The location is very nice, although far from the center.
There is not a lot of space to store the luggage, drawers and places to store clothes. Therefore, with the suitcase as storage there is lack of space.
The shower leaves water due to the sewer system.
There is quite some potential to create a terras with drinks where guest can relax with a very nice view on the river and parlament.

Good location, rich breakfast, parking, nice view, nice staff
Hairdrayer should be automotacially in the room, not upon request; a water cattle should be a standard as well

Fast check in
The smell inside the room, you can hear everything from the other rooms and from hallway
Our room was on the side with the street and the whole place was inclined pretty much.
Looks better in the pictures than reality

and everywhere in the boat.

We booked a room with te river view and it was spectacular. The location is one of the best in Budapest, you could find some 5 stars hotel in the area but would not get that "special" experience where you are actually staying in a boat.
The breakfast has a nice selection and give you an option to explore the real Hungarian food.
Our double room was spacious enough for 2 of us and the bed was really comfy.
We liked everything.

Location was good to see the lighting of Parliament building at night.
Breakfast was good.
Staffs were helpful.
Boat hotel was very old, from our experience of staying several nights there dislikes were:
1/ hearing step noises at 2:00 - 3:00 AM, room wasn't insulated; cracking noises and bathroom was smelly with urines (housekeeping tried to clean up, but it smelled less.
2/ diesel fuel smelling: our clothes were impregnated by this odor, we didn't realize it when we moved to dfferent place and opened our suitcases and smelled our clothes with strong diesel fuel.
3/ Every morning we passed the corridor where it smelled diesel fuel to go to the breakfast area.
We wondered the staff health with exposing such fuming environment hazards.

Dominic on reception was exceptionally helpful.
If you want a room where you can swing more than a mouse don't go here. My travel partner had to sit on the bed so I could move a round the room, and vice versa. The photos are deceiving!
2.5 / 5.0
- Location is best, good view of Parliament building.
- Breakfast is good, (scrambled eggs, bread, and flakes and croissants and many more options)
- near to public transportation 5min walk to Margaret bridge.
- Photos added in Google or in Booking.com are outdated, rooms or boat doesn’t looks that new it’s old.
-Stairs to the rooms are like too small, I can only put my half foot with trolley it’s difficult to manage.
- Room is too small it has space for queen bed and a toilet. no space to keep trolly incase you get it.
- Bed was ok first day, from second day it bulged to the center. made little uncomfortable.
- Room looks old and looks somewhat need care. few broken things.
- good for one or 2 days stay with less luggage.
- No A/C (May be not working because it was May) room was too hot. even after opening one of the window.

River view room is good. Plus, I really liked the view from the deck. The views from here are worth seeing both at night and in the morning.
Hair dryer is not provided. I could hear the noise from the next room. It was difficult to find the way near the inn.
