Январь - не время для поездки в Будапешт January is not the time to travel to Budapest

The week from 02.01. 01.2010 to 09.01. 2010 turned out to be very cold, with strong winds and snow. After walks, we saved ourselves only in the thermal pools of the hotel. There are 2 of them: with a temperature of 33 and 38 gr. There is also a swimming pool with plain water 26 gr. and a jacuzzi meter 2 in diameter (37 gr). In the early days, it was impossible to get into it: there were a lot of people, and not only hotel guests. Local residents also come to the thermal department for a fee. By the end of the week, the people had left, and we even found 3 massage jets in the jacuzzi. There were no such streams anywhere else. Resting in other thermal hotels, we were happy to massage our backs and legs with jets gushing from the walls of the pools at different levels. Here we were deprived of such joy.
Towels are issued at the pool reception against receipt. They can be changed to dry.
Bathrobes were prepared in the room, in which it was very convenient to go to the thermal department. We were surprised only that they do not have slippers. It turns out that they had to be bought for 800 forints. A bit strange for a 5 star thermal hotel.

Toiletries include shampoo, conditioner, soap, cap and shower gel. No body lotion. This was also an unpleasant surprise.
A napkin for hands was given only on the last day, moreover, one.
Very pleased with the electric kettle with tea and coffee set. Every day they reported bags of tea, instant coffee with cream and sugar, and cocoa.
Under the windows of the hotel there is a railway, along which with an interval of 7-10 minutes. trains run (we used them to get to the center). Naturally, they are noisy.
In our room there were 2 beds with a width of about 1 m, well, just like those single beds. At night it was scary to somehow awkwardly turn around and end up on the floor. But, thank God, it worked out. And so, the room is quite comfortable, cleaned normally.
Linen and bathrobes changed once a week.
Now about breakfast.
Here is a daily selection of products: fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, tangerines, plums, kiwi, grapefruits, pineapples, pears, grapes), yogurts, fat-free cottage cheese, milk, muesli, various seeds, dried fruits, compotes with berries and fruits, you could order an omelette or scrambled eggs, there were separately hard-boiled eggs, 2 types of salami, ham, cheese such as Russian and Poshekhonsky, fresh vegetables, for hot - lecho, sausages, boiled vegetables, rice porridge, scrambled eggs. From drinks - champagne, miner. water, juices from packages, tea, coffee. Bread of different varieties, pastries such as muffins and buns with sugar and jam, strudel.
We ate at the hotel restaurant a couple of times. Nothing, but then we were told that there is a better restaurant nearby. I don't remember its name, but it is located on the other side of the Á rpá d bridge. If you leave the hotel, turn left and go through the arch under the bridge, you will get to Feu Square, this restaurant will be on the left. If you go to the right and a little further, on the corner of Laktanya Street you will see bronze sculptures of women under umbrellas. Very expressive figurines of Imre Varga.

Another restaurant with an even richer selection of dishes is located behind the hotel. You need to get out, turn right and go deep into the streets. It is called "KEHLI VENDEGLO", Mokus street, 22.
It takes about 8 minutes to get to the center by train. It is very long walk. There are block houses around the hotel and there is nothing to see there.
The exchange rate at the hotel is very low, it is better to change money in the center.
