Cheap and very cheerful
Travelled on 07/2024
I was worried about the previous reviews regarding aircon as I knew it would be hot during our stay, 35 degrees plus however it was fine and our room was always a very cool welcome coming in from outside. Other reviews commented on a diesel smell but to me it was very minimal and not at all unpleasant. Grand Jules is such a quirky place to stay and offers something very different to your average hotel stay which you ...

Could easily be improved
Travelled on 05/2024
The location is brilliant and the breakfast was very good. The boat itself was very clean.

We also had a problem with coping without air conditioning but was given a fan on our last day. I ...

Few days in Budapest

Breakfast was great, good bre...

Great base in the heart of the city
Travelled on 04/2024
The Grand Jules - Boat Hotel is conveniently moored just off the Margaret bridge and being on a river there is minimal bobbing. It's a 5 min walk to both N/S (Bem Josef) and E/W (Margit hid) tram links for easy commute around the city. The air conditioning system is centrally set for either hot or cold. At Easter, the system was still configured for hot despite the outside temperature being in the mid to upper 20's C...
