Gutes Hotel, Top Aussicht auf dem Dach und gute Lage
Pros:

An Excellent Centre for Exploring Budapest - but less suitable for vegetarians.
Pros:

I liked its location, its comfort, its wide range of many facilities, its effective WiFi system; its effectively functioning TV services.

Cons:

Insufficient concern to provide adequate services for vegetarian and vegan guests; the soya milk at breakfast ran out, there was no oat milk or almond milk, no vegetarian sausages provided. The fruit did not contain a choice to maximise anti-oxidant properties (e.g. berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, black currents, red currants, etc.).
Are you not aware that in UK now over a third of people do not eat any mammalian meat, for both global warming and health reasons (to avoid cancer), and that similar trends are evident in France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden? You need to cater more for the 21st century European population, not for the twentieth.
My profession (now retired) is public health nutrition; I still stand the annual European conferences, the next in Bilbao in November, with 3,000 people already registered.

Buono
Pros:

Ottima posizione, zona tranquilla a due passi da metro e autobus. L'hotel è nuovo e si presenta bene.

Cons:

La pulizia delle camere. In pratica siamo stati tre giorni non hanno mai pulito la camera ne cambiato asciugamani. La pulizia forse veniva effettuata nel primo pomeriggio, quando uno si riposa e quindi la camera non è libera.

Enjoyable overall but let down by advertised facility's not available but showing on their web site.
Pros:

Cleanliness was excellent. Location was excellent. Breakfast was adequate but hot food could be less covered in oils/fat

Cons:

Roof Top Bistro on website but not is open and only can view. We were not allowed take a drink up to relax and enjoy the views. Very disappointing and one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. They need a web site review of facilities as says Spa etc available too which is not. Not being able to chill out in bar with tables outside with few drinks after long day sightseeing.

Pros:

Die zentrale Lage ist sehr komfortabel, man kann überallhin zu Fuß oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, das Autoparken am Wochenende ist kein Problem, da Samstags-Sonntags das Parken auf der Straße vor dem Hotel kostenfrei ist.

Cons:

Wir haben zwar Premiumzimmer mit Stadtblick gebucht, aber letztendlich ein Zimmer bekommen, welches lediglich Dachfester hatte, also, ganz ohne „Ausblick“, die stationierte Kaffeemaschine funktionierte nicht, und als wir es melden wollten an der Rezeption, mussten wir feststellen, dass das Zimmertelefon gar nicht angeschlossen war (es lag nur quasi als Dekoration auf dem Tisch). Die Rezeption hat es uns so erklärt, als wir es dann persönlich angesprochen haben: ja, es gebe aktuell in einigen Etagen keinen Telefonanschluss… und noch ein Mangel: die Beschattung im Zimmer war deutlich eingeschränkt, da die elektrische Plissee an einem Fenster teilweise abgerissen war… für ein Premiumzimmer einige Minuspunkte, leider…
