Just had another nice stay here. This is a great property, with great soft and hard product, and a great location.

As an ambassador, I was upgraded to a junior suite overlooking the park before arrival. I had a nice plate of suites in the room, along with a handwritten note.

While breakfast isn't a RC benefit, it was included in my rate. It's very good with a quality breakfast that includes variety of fish/meat/cheese/fruits. I'm not sure what an earlier poster was referring to in connection with local specialities. There were certainly local meats and cheeses available. Additionally, you can order one item from the menu as part of the buffet and there were a couple of Hungarian options there, including a Hungarian omelet at an extra cost that included the local duck foie gras.

And yes, tour groups can be annoying but I suspect the RC has a smaller tour group crowd than the other hotels.

Also, for those who care, the airport express bus drops off within a block and its a great option for 3 US/Euro. Just as quick as a taxi and easy to use. The metro is also adjacent to the hotel and you can hear it on at least some floors of the hotel.
