During my four-night stay at the Continental Hotel Budapest, I enjoyed the elegant atmosphere and fantastic wellness facilities, including the rooftop pool. However, I found the breakfast options somewhat limited for vegans, which may require consideration for dietary restrictions. Overall, a lovely experience that I would happily repeat! 🌟
