Nice position. Lovely views along river and short pleasant walk to Parliament building. I tried this boat as a quirky alternative to hotel. Didn’t work for me. The rooms are very small hardly room to move around at all. The worst thing for me was total lack of facilities. No bar No food or snacks available. No lounge or seating area to chill out. Fully accept I visited in winter and it might feel different in summer when there would be opportunity to sit out on roof terrace. I recommend if you do want to try this out go for superior room with river view and check before you travel to confirm they have allocated you the room you paid for.

Unique and cute.
Hotel is in an out if the way location but on the water with a view of the Island and just a few minutes walk from the #2 tram stop. Rooms are small, as to be expected in a boat, but clean with everything you need. Staff was very helpful in arranging airport transfer at a set price of 38 Euros for when we left.

The shower is literally in the toilet. I say shower but it’s not a shower in my eyes (it’s actually just a hose attached to the wall aimed at your chest, You can’t move the height of the hose making it a nightmare to wash my hair. Also very dangerous slippy floor as the floor has no shower mat or screen to stop the water pooling around the toilet.

Rim was more basic than I initially expected the air con was on when I arrived so it was nice and chilled considering the 29 degrees outside. The TV was set up properly or not working as every channel was a deep red colour. Otherwise a adequate room with passable decor. The toilet / wet room was very cubical like so you could’ve showered whilst on the toilet. But was adequate for what I needed. The plug for the sink was missing but got around that with a bit of tissue. Staff were very welcoming and helpful I paid extra for the breakfast which consisted of 3 types danish, the hit food was a dodgy looking stumbled eggs which was oily and two types of sausage a frankfurter and a spicier small sausage. Nothing else. So I’d say you’d better look in town for a breakfast. It’s opposite Margret island so little way from the centre of town where I stayed before so if you want a shop you have to walk about 10mins across the dual carriage way. But it was perfect if you just want a quick stop off for the odd night

Nothing. Very poor quality of boat noisy at night from generator and Aircon not effective. Use of restaurant and bar limited and poorly staffed and impossible to get a drink as used by bay coach tours in afternoon and evening. Terrible ruff bouncer type staff etc top deck totally devoid of any character. A one star would be to high for this accommodation.

Pretty cool and “different” hotel experience. The hotel is a retired river cruise boat that is permanently docked on the Danube. It’s a little dated, and the rooms are small but the rate was good and you can watch the show on the river 24/7. The location is slightly off the beaten path but a 5/10 minute walk gets you to the tram and you can go anywhere from there. The neighborhood by the hotel felt very safe and there were plenty of bistros and interesting shops to explore even though it’s not a tourist neighborhood. The staff was great overall although there were a couple of glitches. The recommended “jump on jump off” bus was not the best. I would go with Big Bus if I were to go again, and the recommended cab company was a rip-off. Use the Official company at the airport and keep their card and call them when you want to return. Overall we would definitely stay here again and don’t miss Margaret Island which is directly across from the hotel and an amazing park!

A big no. Area is great. Food in restaurant not bad The room was 40 degrees while it was 15 outside, I got sick, had to stuff myself with Tylenol to go on. The worst hotel? I ever stay, and by the way I'm not fussy or exquisite, I only need a clean, comfortable, decent, safe place to crash at night. This was a big mistake.

Great location
The boat hotel is quite nice and comfortable.The room is not too big but it's good for sleeping.It would be nice to have a fridge in the room and if there would be more breakfast option in the buffet as I'm vegan and they did not have milk for me either,so I had to buy my own from the shop.It would be nice to have a vending machine with drinks and snacks,so we could have enjoyed it more in the hot weather.The location is very good and the view is amazing.If you are a smoker,you can smoke outside on the terrace,so it's really useful. In the leaflet says,they give you an umbrella free of charge at the reception but when we wanted one,they did not have any ,so we had to go to the shop and buy one.We were soaking wet on the first day.Otherwise the staff were very helpful and speak good English as well.I would stay there again in the future.

Basic but can't argue at the price
Stayed for a week. First half of the week was for a festival nearby and the second half we used it as a base to explore Budapest. The location is excellent for links in to the city or a walk down the river. Room is basic but it had everything we needed. Would of been nice to have the bedding changed during our stay. Shower head had a mind if it's own and the area was quite snug. Would of liked to have been a large person using it. Overall it's good value for money in an excellent location.

good location and pleasant views.
Although rooms were fairly clean they were very compact. No toiletries just microscopic bar of soap. NO FRIDGE ! it was 30 degrees outside and we couldn't even have a glass of cold water. No plug in the sink. In spite of numerous complaints we didn't even have a working tv . The boat itself and the staff were really nice and the location was great. we were there for 11 nights but we were greatly disappointed by the lack of the basic amenities that are available in the most basic of hotels. We are regular visitors to Budapest and have stayed at many different venues and sadly this ends up in our bottom 5. This is a shame as it has so much potential .

Tghis is an excellent hotel on the river Danube.
I visited this hotel with my son at the end of July for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Hotel provided excellent accommodation and Service. We arrived at 2:30am (30mins after last check-in) but this was no problem. The staff were polite and helpful. Reception offer a car transport service which is cheaper than taxis and was very reliable; the cars arrived on time and charged exactly the agreed price - highly recommended. We used to hotel restaurant one evening on the upper deck- what better location could you find in Budapest than sitting on the Danube / food was fine and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was a range of hot and cold food, breads, pastries, cereals and fruits - all good. The boat is beautifully refurbished; our cabin looked out towards the shore, was not huge (after all it’s a cabin), was very clean and has a private shower and bathroom.

Looking out on the river at night with the many boats going up and down, their lights and occasional wafts of music, all at eye level. We definitely loved the river side view, though there was also a need to close the curtains for a bit of privacy. Our food in the restaurant was quite good, again with a fabulous view. The only negatives: a) diesel fumes for the generators; b) bathrooms are tiny. Don't expect hotel size. and c) steep stairs and no offer to help carrying up the luggage. Not for the disabled in any way. But the room was comfortable and clean, the staff friendly and competent. I would stay again, quite happily.

It is a boat and therefore rooms and beds are small. Excellent to sit outside and watch the boat traffic pass by with a drink in hand. The food onboard was very good and reasonable.

A different way to stay
A friendly welcome, nice accommodation, relaxing setting on the Danube with views across Margret Island. A pleasant breakfast. Room was as expected a cabin on board a boat, nice and clean and perfectly adequate for our requirements. Sun lounger on the roof very pleasant to enjoy the afternoon sun!

Average no frills accommodation.
Reasonably located within a brisk 15 minute walk to various shops and cafes. The hotel rooms, although small, were kept very clean and tidy by the daily maid service. The toilet cistern was running all night when we arrived but after speaking to reception, this was fixed the following day.The heating was very efficient and we had to turn it off every night despite it being around freezing outside. Most of the heat seemed to come from the fridge which was hotter on the inside than on the outside, hence most of the food we put in it got thrown out. Advertised as having Satellite TV in the room but ours only had two channels, both in Hungarian and only one with sound, even after reporting it to reception. Beds were comfy and shower was powerful and always had hot water. Breakfast OK but seemed rather expensive for what you got, as for evening meal, the food was very good but the menu was limited and the same every night. On the whole the hotel was clean and tidy and the staff were helpful and courteous.
