Sure, if HI Budaörs served your needs who am I to question your decision - I just added my 2 cents.
But to stay a bit more on topic (Carlson), in Budapest I particularly liked the art'otel - last year I stayed there just to harvest the 50k (or was it the 44k one?) promo bonus and was impressed. The Radisson might be a more posh property (stayed there, too) but I'd go for the art'otel if I had to chose a CC hotel in Budapest.
