4 out of 5
Pretty cool and “different” hotel experience. The hotel is a retired river cruise boat that is permanently docked on the Danube. It’s a little dated, and the rooms are small but the rate was good and you can watch the show on the river 24/7. The location is slightly off the beaten path but a 5/10 minute walk gets you to the tram and you can go anywhere from there. The neighborhood by the hotel felt very safe and there were plenty of bistros and interesting shops to explore even though it’s not a tourist neighborhood. The staff was great overall although there were a couple of glitches. The recommended “jump on jump off” bus was not the best. I would go with Big Bus if I were to go again, and the recommended cab company was a rip-off. Use the Official company at the airport and keep their card and call them when you want to return. Overall we would definitely stay here again and don’t miss Margaret Island which is directly across from the hotel and an amazing park!
