Fortuna Boat Hotel Budapest

"We have literally just checked out from a 4 night stay at Fortuna Boat Hotel. We stayed in room 234 which is one of the superior rooms with a large balcony overlooking the Danube, spectacular! The room itself is large and clean, room is a bit dated but for what you pay, you can't complain. Breakfast is ample but simple. It is about a 20/30 mins walk or more to the main attractions. Or a 10 mins walk to the transport links. We would absolutely come back and stay here again! The only let down was the rather rude male receptionist on today ( 28/02/26) upon check out this morning, instead of tending to us, he continued playing/texting on his phone until he was finished what he was doing to serve us. We have just been back to collect our luggage. He followed my husband down to the luggage room where he then accused my husband of "stinking of weed" Now, we are not smokers/vapers of any kind!! The smell was indeed coming from one of the hotel rooms! He really shouldn't be making any kind of assumptions, and we just found his whole attitude, well stinking!!"

"What an amazing stay for a city break....I've never been a big city person so having a place that felt far removed but still central to all the hustle bustle to decompress after a busy day of walking and site seing was perfect for me....never have I been in a city so accommodating and easy to explore on local transport or walking........and you can tell how safe the city is by how common and comfortable women are jogging late at night with both headphones in.....just amazing.......I would feel comfortable allowing my teenage children to explore the city independently and that I can't say about any other destination.....you will.see.many groups of young adults having and amazing time..... Back at our room we sat on the deck with bubbles......watched the boats, wildlife, and many active joggers throughout the night across the water.....admiring the sun sets and night lights bouncing off the fast flowing river.....oh and there is a massive fish living under the boat.....if he hears you talking.....will jump out of the water in hopes of a bit of bread....just saying 😀 The basic rooms are small...but with the city less than a minutes walk away, this is just the perfect place to sleep......its the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in.....the beds are comfy......the hotel is warm.....the water pressure and hot water...amazing.......hair dryer was top quality......the included breakfast though simple is delicious, and generous. It catered for all and was consistent. The staff are very accommodating with anything you need......do be aware that the main hotel is in the process of being spruced up and having alot of things renewed so it's not perfect on the outside.......the water is low so the gang walk to the boat is long and steep.....I am coming back with family.....I wouldn't stay anywhere else.....if your wanting a calm and budget friendly stay....this is your place.....thank you Victoria your amazing......Will.see.you again soon"

"What a shame - could be such a lovely boat Hotel. First the Pros - good location and cleaning staff excellent Now the Cons - The boat is so run down - rips in carpets especially on the very steep gangplank. Many areas off limits - it's like a building site. No bar or restaurant (although they are advertised) - breakfast room with cold sausage and beans every day. Toaster - only two of the four slices worked - coffee/tea machine broke down. Bedrooms - although kept very clean - look like a cheap boarding house - bouncy bathroom floor - carpets in hallway so threadbare even though they had a carpet cleaning service at work while we were there! Have stayed in a Botel in Prague and was a totally different experience!"
