INFINITY Budapest Hotel - Adults Only
Really lovely hotel, the rooms were clean breakfast was good. The spa was also really nice. However there are tramlines behind the hotel and the trams go past continuously. This does not make for a good nights sleep. We stayed for two nights and did not have more than a few hours between us
