Dear All
Advice please.
Would like to go to BUD for a weekend break in July - and SHMBO needs to have a hotel which has facilities for sunbathing.
I like the sound of many of the usual suspects in BUD (neither of us has ever been there) - for example, Four Seasons, IC, Marriott - but I can't work out from their websites whether or not they have any open space for catching the sun!
Please can somebody advise? We would like sun and relaxation more than central location. Thanks.

The location is right on the Danube River, just a two-minute tram ride into the center of Pest for lots of dining options.
I just stayed there last week on a booking done back in the fall. Frankly, after reading the review on this thread, I was somewhat apprehensive about what I was walking into. Frankly, the hotel was old, but quite charming.....the beds were good, the breakfast was really above average, and the Gellert baths (saunas and pools) were a blast.

It sounds like the Hotel Gellert would be perfect for you. The famous bath is free for hotel guests. They have an outdoor pool and sauna with a very large sunbathing deck.

If the poster is considering staying at this hotel, I'd suggest paying extra for a river view.
