My favorite hotel in Budapest. I’m in Budapest once or twice a year and I always stay at the Grand Hotel. The fact that it’s on the island is wonderful because I travel with my dogs so the park and woods surrounding is perfect. If you want quick access to the city you may want to stay off the island though the scenery is worth the extra taxi ride.

Eden United States of America

Well-maintained old Grand Hotel with a friendly & helpful staff and perfect restaurant. All SPA utilities are in the separate building, you can reach them by a small tunnel. The main SPA basin, one of four, is with a natural termal water, 38 degrees. Rest are with a water from Danube, I guess. WiFi is pretty stable and fast. Everything went quite fine, no issues, would recommend the hotel to everyone.

Alexey Norway

+ quiet location on Margit Island + good, clean rooms + good WiFi + free access to the hotel Spa with thermal pools and different saunas + good restaurants + friendly and helpful staff + convenient parking

Catalin Austria

Spa access, robe, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere and decor. The tunnel connecting the two hotels is kind of creepy (in a good way).

Samantha United States of America

amazing and fresh breakfast. Ample choices as well as order from menu for same inclusive price.

Susan United States of America

Charming old hotel, clean and updated. Wonderful to have access to the spa pools and the location on the island was beautiful and quite. The hotel restaurant was good and they had a great local band playing!

Peggy United States of America

Breakfast buffet was excellent with made to order if you wish along with prepared dishes. The gypsy band was fun and energetic! Beautiful dining room!!!

Susan United States of America

Excellent location, incredible view to the park and the Danube river. Bus stop to the very downtown on foot away. Margitsziget island is definetely place everyone should visit.

Kolonakihellastravel Greece

We thought the hotel was very nice. Loved the older building style which is in good condition. Also the location was the best. Having the hotel in the middle of a park and the middle of the city was ideal. The breakfast was one of the best at a hotel.

Blair Albania

Having access to the thermal baths from within the hotel beats any other place in Budapest.

Built in 1873 on the lush green and quiet Margaret Island in the center of Budapest, the Ensana Grand Margaret Island offers a spacious spa area with a selection of treatments.

A heated underground hall connects the hotel to the neighboring Ensana Thermal Margaret Island, which features one of Europe's top health spas.

A hot tub, 2 pools, and various saunas and beauty treatments can be enjoyed there. The diagnostic section features various therapeutic treatments. Guests can access the spa area free of charge.

The Széchenyi Restaurant offers fine dining with magnificent views of the park. International, domestic and diet cuisine, with a wide selection of Hungary's best wines, are served. Outdoor dining can be enjoyed in summer on the terrace and in the garden. In the evenings, a gypsy orchestra provides entertainment.

The classically furnished rooms overlook the Danube or the magnificent park. They are all air-conditioned and have a mini-bar.

The island stretches over 2.5 mi and is protected leafy botanical parkland with ancient trees, a Japanese garden, and a rose garden, an open-air amphitheater, traversed by walking and jogging tracks. Bicycles, horses, carts and electric buggies can be hired to get around. It is only a 15-minute drive away from the center of Budapest.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
