My stay at Danubius Hotel Erzsebet City Center had its highs and lows. The location is really good, making it easy to explore Budapest. However, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, and the customer service experiences were inconsistent. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a good selection to start the day.

While the hotel had good basic amenities, I noticed it’s an older building that could use some modernization. The heating made the room a bit stuffy, and the air conditioning was a little noisy.
