..., the opera, restaurants. Historic buildings etc. There is a restaurant called the Belcanto which is right outside the main door and on the corner of the same building. It has a famous reputation for its singing waiters. I looked through the windows but didn't fancy it alone but it looked like fun. It certainly received a rave mention in another Ciao review of Budapest. My one really big accolade was for the staff - they were so friendly and efficient. I tend to eat in my hotel when I'm alone and I had lunch, dinner and the free breakfast. The food that I paid for was fine. The waitress where I had dinner was so ahead of the game - without even looking in my direction - there were plenty of other diners - she seemed to know instinctively when I wanted something else and almost appeared by telepathy.

..."Member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the Year" As a surprise (good behaviour??), hubby booked a 3 night short break to Budapest, it being a place I had shown an interest in visiting. We arrived in Budapest in the evening and because it was snowing heavily and we had no idea where we were going, we jumped into a taxi and gave the address of the hotel. After a relatively short and very picturesque drive, we arrived at the hotel which is situated on a wide tree lined avenue, Andrassy Ut. We later found out that this is the principal thoroughfare in Budapest and is known as the Champs Elysees of Hungary, situated as it is in the Embassy district, and close to major attractions. **First Impressions** These are always important, and as the taxi pulled up into the front area which was rather like a modern cobbled courtyard, these...
