+	The cabin was very clean and quite spacious, we had a separate sitting area with a small table and two chairs which was a pleasant surprise. The room had a nice view and was particluarly warm and cosy,loads of hot water for showering and it was nice breakfast did nt finish until ten am for us not so early risers!! I must also add we arrived a little early but were able to check in straight away which you don t always expect even at a quiet time of year.
-	It would have been nice to have a kettle in the room but we were aware in advance when we booked this was not available.

+	Very friendly reception staff. Enjoyed the novelty of staying on a boat hotel.
-	It was getting towards the end of the season and at one point a conference took priority over the hotel guests in terms of the evening meal. The main issue being that we weren't told in advance which would have been helpful.

+	The Price and the staff.For 120 euro for five nights B&B and all you could eat from a wide variety breakfast , on a splendidly peaceful boat hotel on the Danube, I couldn't believe my luck. The staff were extremely helpful, no doubt saving me lots of time with helpful tips and travel information. Also I was only 100 meters from a splendid transport system. Top marks all round, and I would advise anyone going to Budapest to look no further for accomodation.
