The Hotel Gellert is located on the Danube, Buda side. I chose to stay here because it is an old, historic building, conveniently located, and is connected to the famed Gellert Baths.
The staff here are superb and were more than happy to help me with a number of difficult requests. If you decide to stay here, make sure you get an air-conditioned room (if not, request a fan), book on the internet for discounted rates, and sign up for the Danubius Hotel Groups frequent stay program as you’ll be more likely to be given a room upgrade upon checkin.
While my room was on the lower end available (about 80 euros), I was on the top floor and had a stunning view from a balcony of Gellert Hill, the Lady of Freedom, and the Danube. As it was cooler in the evenings, I took to getting a bottle of wine from the market and writing here very night.
As a guest you get free entrance to the Gellert Baths, an architectural marvel and a soft bathrobe to wear at the spa. I used the thermal baths, sauna, and cold pools twice. They’re newer and perhaps a bit cleaner than the Rudas Baths I posted about a few days ago. As with Rudas and other baths, the employees are not very friendly or helpful but there are signs in English which makes it so much easier.
All in all it was a good choice I would make again.
