The whole experience was positive from a warm reception and voucher for a drink at the bar . Our room was also upgraded to a spacious nicely designed room on the top floor . The buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice . The thermal facilities were very good and kept spotlessly clean . Excellent public transport connections by bus in behind the hotel to the city’s metro network . Will return to this hotel in next visit to Budapest .

The staff was extremely rude, never in my life have I seen such rude staff, they speak to you as if it's their property and you are staying there for free. When we arrived there was no concierge to help with the luggage, and we arrived at 5:00 PM, not early or late. The rooms were okay, but the glass wall dividing the toilet and the room was ridiculous. Every time the other person had to use the bathroom at night, they turned on the lights and the whole room got lit up, which was uncomfortable since I was sleeping.
One of the elevators wasn't working so the elevator was overcrowded all the time, we had to spend 10-15 min waiting to get down or go up.
We booked 2 massages, one of which was supposed to be Dolce Vita and the other De Luxe. They confused it all and had both of us have De Luxe. When we went out and realized, we went back to tell them that they confused it, they just laughed and said \"Well, bad for you. Come next time and pay again\". Mind you, this was the worst massage ever, literally the person was just caressing me, not actually doing anything. 85€ just for them to caress you. Expensive, useless and rude!
The amenities are fine, the food was good, the staff were the rudest I've met. Overall, a bad/average experience.

Lovely pool and spa with helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent though it was difficult to find a free table.

The rooms are fine, general decor of the hotel is a mixture of the very modern and areas in need to an update. The fridge in my room suddenly stopped working midway through my stay.

This is the perfect hotel — located within Margaret Island, it is beautifully quiet and serene, away from the chaos of the city centre, but easily accessible by public transport. Staff are knowledgable and really helpful; the rooms are gorgeous and spacious; the spa is wonderful, with a range of spaces so that guests can spread themselves out when it’s busy. The breakfast is a buffet with something for every taste; the only downside is that items aren’t well labelled with allergens, so you could end up eating something that has a hidden ingredient. Otherwise, a wonderful stay. I would definitely return again.

This is a spa hotel. I enjoyed staying there. I also enjoyed the city which is famously beautiful and friendly. The hotel has a lot of options for healing and fun. I it located on island that is a huge park. The spa is good for muscular and skeletal problems, however, you’d need to stay at least for a week. The breakfast is an abundance of any possible choices you can only imagine. The only disappointment was a TV. There is only two news channels in English. I had to watch movies on Hungarian.

Ensana hotels on Margaret island are our regular stay. Ensana Thermal's rooms are renovated and all are with a balcony. Our room on the 5th floor had a view of the Japanese garden and the Buda side which is great but could hear slightly the rumbling of traffic on the nearby Arpad -bridge. Nevertheless, we always enjoy our stay , the generous breakfast büfé, the spa, fitness classes and the attentive service

A winner! Gorgeous location and thermal delights

This was our 10th visit to the hotel over the last 15 years and it really does seem to maintain or even improve its standards every time we visit. They really do get the concept of maintenance and everything seems so well run from a staff point of view. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and courteous and breakfast is excellent. The thermal pools are lovely and the steam/sauna facilities are particularly pleasant. Best of all, you're away from it all on beautiful Margitsziget, while at the same time easily connected to both Buda and Pest with the frequent No. 26 buses that pass by several times every hour. Simply put, this is a winner in every respect.

Overcrowded spa and out-of-date gym

Not very happy with the hotel overall. The spa was always overcrowded. Some staff were nice but some were not. The gym equipment is out of date, the running machine made my back pain as it could count off the impact of my steps, which never happened to me. Very very old running machine. The gym mat was very dirty and old.

Totally loved this hotel. We had read so many reviews complaining about miserable staff (miserable Hungarians in general) and poor service, but this was not our experience. The staff at the hotel and indeed everyone we met in Budapest were absolutely lovely. The rooms are massive, the breakfast superb, spa facilities incredible. Margaret Island is beautiful with fountain displays, floodlit gardens and a great range of places to eat. The 26 bus takes you to tram and metro stations and you are in the city centre in a matter of minutes. I honestly have nothing negative to say about the hotel, the staff, teh food, the island or Budapest

Great hotel

We stayed at Ensana Thermal Margaret Island for a night 4 family trip to Budapest with our 6 and 8 year old children. The hotel is situated on the north of Margaret Island, which is in the Northern area of Budapest. The Ensana Thermal is a lovely modern hotel, we were welcomed by a friendly reception team who took our bags and stored them for us until our room was ready. Our family room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed; separate room with sofa bed, desk and toilet for kids. Large bedroom with king size bed, large bathroom, lots of storage. Fridge/ mini bar, kettle, nespresso machine, toiletries, hair dryer, robes and slippers. The balcony was large too, with table & chairs and sunbeds. The only negative was that the balcony needed a good sweep, there was lots of dust and cigarette buts on there.
The spa area to the hotel was great, it contains an outdoor pool with sunbathing terrace, indoor swimming pool, spa pool, thermal pool, sauna, steam room and aroma room. The children were welcome in the pools, but it’s worth nothing these are relaxing pools, so not for games and splashing etc. If that’s what they want, the Palatinus Strand outdoor pools are on Margaret Island and only a 10-15 min walk away.
Breakfast was served buffet style, in a large and light restaurant with options to sit in or outside. The staff were attentive and helpful. There was a good selection of food to choose from to suit all tastes.
