Hercule Poirot sits at the next table.

"Rooms are perfectly modern. The reception and restaurant are exactly as they were built in 1914, except that the food is better and there's free Internet. Expect that Hercule Poirot might be sitting at the next table."

"My son and I had a wonderful stay at The Continental hotel Budapest. We were greeted upon arrival and check was smooth. A bell boy took our luggage and showed us to our room. I requested twin beds and they happily complied. We had breakfast and each day there was plenty of choice and the food was always fresh and tasty. The service providers were attentive and friendly. The spa area was a nice retreat after a busy day sightseeing. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back in a heartbeat. "
