Room with a Killer View: All the Sights of Budapest From the Marriott

Where: Apaczai Csere Janos u. 4, Budapest, Romania, 1052

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

HotelChatter tipster Tom W has just had a stay in the Budapest Marriott Hotel on the banks of the Danube. The view across the river to the Royal Palace on the Castle Hill area of Pest is pretty impressive, but what's all that scaffolding in the front?

The Marriott website confirms that they are doing a major renovation which should be finished by the end of the year. It didn't worry Tom W too much:

We stayed in a renovated room on the Executive floor, and it is completely up to American standards.  Service in the entire hotel is at a five-star level.  Even though we stayed there on my Marriott points, we had access to the Executive lounge, plus an endless supply of free mineral water, fruit delivered to the room each afternoon, etc., etc.  The only drawback was that as in many European hotels, the air conditioning is weak.

But it sounds like the view made up for that.
