Wonderful River View Room!

The breakfast buffet had a great selection. The hotel has several pools available. The rooms were clean and well-kept . I really liked the daily housekeeping service. The view from the balcony was AMAZING!!!
The gym area felt a little cramped. I think there could be some improvements made to the layout to maximize the space better.

the location near the danube was nice. my room offered a great view of the river. i found the breakfast buffet to be well-stocked with many options.
the bathroom felt a little small. i noticed the electricity in the room wasn't very stable, it would turn off and on suddenly. the towel heating only worked for a few minutes before stopping.
