Corinthia Budapest
This is a stunning hotel. I kept thinking I may not fit in with the clientele! If I have a complaint it’s the same throughout Europe, and that is, no top sheet on the beds, just a duvet with a cover.

Elisabeth Downtown Apartments by FirstHost
This was a very nice apartment. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was very noisy however as there was drilling going on. The fridge, was more like a freezer as it froze everything in it. But other than that I would highly recommend it.
