Budapest Hotel recommendations please
 

We have one night in Budapest before a river cruise.
Any suggestions for a suitably located hotel and "must do " experiences for that day/night?
Thanks

our Marriott serviced apartment was very nice and near the river. But then I stayed with my mother at the Sofitel which is practically ON the river. Both very nice and I would go back to either one.

We enjoyed Belcanto restaurant/singing waiters/musicians next to the Opera/theater

I have at least one trip report under my name about Budapest/Vienna.

For one day/night I would try to see Parliament and sunset at Fisherman's Bastion. Anything else - opera house, Jewish quarter, Citadel, Central Market - would be a bonus. We stayed at the Aria and it was wonderful.

The full service Marriott on the river is also very nice. And all rooms have a view of Buda and the river.

We really enjoyed staying at the Residence Baron in Pest, 20 steps from the Central Market and a short walk from the old Jewish Quarter and Dohany Synagogue.

have said it many times before...
hotel victoria.

huge windows with gorgeous views of the parliament and water. reasonably priced. clean. tram runs right in front
absolutely love it.

thanks everyone, will investigate all your suggestions :)

We loved the Danubius Hotel Gellert. It's right on the Danube and right at one of the bridges.
