I recently stayed at Ensana Thermal Margaret Island, and while the location is indeed beautiful, there were significant service issues that detracted from my experience. The spa facilities are extensive and quite relaxing, but my first room was a disappointment due to cleanliness concerns.

The hotel is on Margaret Island, which is lovely for a quiet retreat, but if you're looking to explore Budapest, it requires a taxi ride. The island itself has its attractions, but options can be limited, especially in poor weather.

Dining

Breakfast varied, though I found it lacking at times. While the chef prepared dishes well, there were often queues for certain items, which felt inefficient. Dinner was better with decent options.
