For a single economy no frills room, I think I paid a fair and honest price. To stay in a hotel with age and tradition was exactly what I wanted. The staff were lovely and friendly and I feel if I had needed any further help I would have received it if asked. The breakfast I thought was brilliant such a choice of traditional English and Continental. I definitely had a bit of everything which filled me up for the day. The location was fantastic right next to Gellert Hill area, near a bridge if you wanted to go to the other side and a convenient metro station moments away. I have seen in some reviews people say the hotel/room needs to be modernised and yes it could be, but I wanted old and traditional and got it!! The only thing I should have said while I was there and didn't - there was a couple of insects in the bathroom which was a bit off putting, but I just got on with it. Otherwise the bed sheets and rest of the room was clean and comfortable.
Bathroom with a few insects.

The staff were friendly. The breakfast buffet was nice.
We expected more for the price - because the hotel was very old so the room showed a lot of signs of ageing (flaking walls, water marks on the walls and ceiling etc). But I have heard that they will renovate it soon :)

The building (with Spa and baths is fascinating) but very run down. Rooms not comfortable
Impressive building and history but rooms need updating

The courteous staff, excellent breakfast, perfect location and of course the privilege of staying at one of Budapest’s most iconic hotels makes it totally worth staying here.
A coffee and tea station was lacking in the room. Although I was aware of this prior to booking, I still feel the hotel should include it in the rate. It’s nice to be able to make a cup of something after a long trip, in the comfort of your own room.
