We ended up with a riverview room on the top floor and it was amazing, breakfast was a must and everyone was friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend to others and would love to come back

Budapest Marriott Hotel
The room was "as pictured" and nice. I still dislike (seems to be a European thing) of having only a portion of the shower (no bathtub - which is fine) covered by a glass partition. As a result, expect some water to splash across the floor. The hotel does have a great view of the river and Buda.
