Lovely warm clean room with a decent shower and a view of the river. Staff were all lovely!
I appreciate the breakfast, It was very good. Services and staff was very nice. small complaint is that we lacked a fridge and it was too hot in the room
Hotel is in an out if the way location but on the water with a view of the Island and just a few minutes walk from the #2 tram stop. Rooms are small, as to be expected in a boat, but clean with everything you need. Staff was very helpful in arranging airport transfer at a set price of 38 Euros for when we left.
The hotel cancelled our reservation 2 days before we were due to arrive, this caused us a lot of inconvenience as we had to find somewhere else to stay. We had paid Fortuna Boat Hotel in full for our reservation. Despite this, neither Fortuna Boat or Hotels.com will refund the money we have paid.
Nice position. Lovely views along river and short pleasant walk to Parliament building. I tried this boat as a quirky alternative to hotel. Didnât work for me. The rooms are very small hardly room to move around at all. The worst thing for me was total lack of facilities. No bar No food or snacks available. No lounge or seating area to chill out. Fully accept I visited in winter and it might feel different in summer when there would be opportunity to sit out on roof terrace. I recommend if you do want to try this out go for superior room with river view and check before you travel to confirm they have allocated you the room you paid for.
Mysigt bĂ„thotell med trevlig personal. Ac pĂ„ rummet som var ganska litet men mysigt och frĂ€scht. Helt okej frukost. Ăverlag supernöjda med vĂ„ran vistelse.
Me gusto la citaciĂłn geografĂa donde esta.y no me gustĂł que el dia de irme aun faltando 2 horas me quitaro. El agua caliente.

Hintansa vÀÀrtti.
Rauhallinen ja hiljainen paikka yöpyÀ. Palvelu oli ok. Vanha laiva on aina vanha laiva joten uudemman hotellin kanssa se ei vedÀ vertoja.

Es war echt ganz nett fĂŒr eine StĂ€dtereise - haben jetzt zwar RĂŒckenschmerzen - packt euch besser ein Kissen ein - aber alles in allem war es echt nett! FrĂŒhstĂŒck war liebevoll zubereitet und wurde immer wieder aufgefĂŒllt. Die Reinigungsdamen waren super lieb und haben uns immer alles gegeben was wir brauchten - neues Wasser vor allem. Zu FuĂ zur BrĂŒcke rĂŒber auf die Margareten Insel - ging super schnell. In die City ca 25 min zu FuĂ vorbei am Parlament. Einrichtung ist zwar alt aber authentisch. Bad war sehr sauber - das ist das wichtigste. Alles in allem einfach âeinfachâ also ganz gut! Weit weg vom Party geschehen - wenn wir noch mal fĂŒr die mega Partys nach Budapest reisen dann gerne ein Hotel mitten im Geschehen. Hatten eine super schöne Reise - wenn man es ruhiger mag ist das Hotel super und ParkplĂ€tze auch!

Beim Check in sehr freundlich , als wir dann nach dem Restaurant gefragt haben wurde uns sehr unfreundlich mitgeteilt das es das nicht gibt . Es gab nur Wasser an der Rezeption zu kaufen.
Roomservice gab es keinen , nach 3 Tagen frische HandtĂŒcher an der Rezeption geholt . Hat 20 minutengedauert bis ichsĂŒchtig hatte und es war sonst kein anderer Gast an der Rezeption.
Always return to the hotel whenever possible, great location close to transport options, friendly and polite staff, clean room and bathroom, close to favourite sights.
The shower is literally in the toilet. I say shower but itâs not a shower in my eyes (itâs actually just a hose attached to the wall aimed at your chest, You canât move the height of the hose making it a nightmare to wash my hair. Also very dangerous slippy floor as the floor has no shower mat or screen to stop the water pooling around the toilet.
Very comfortable hotel with everything you would expect from a 3 star hotel. Very helpful & friendly staff. Very reasonably priced. Good public transport links. Would definitely stay here again.
Great location, most highlights are walking distance.

Inget för glutenintoleranta.
En i sÀllskapet Àr glutenintolerant och vi hade meddelat detta i god tid innan vi anlÀnde. Vi pÄminde dem vid incheckningen men trots det fanns det inget glutenfritt bröd. Dessutom sÄ tog nattpersonalen med sig nycklarna till sÀkerhetsskÄpen sÄ vi blev ca tvÄ timmar försenade nÀr vi skulle hÀmta hyrbil.
