River Empress Review

Additional details
We flew independently to Budapest and easily got a taxi outside the airport terminal doors to the Corinthia Hotel. The taxi rate is fixed by zone and I think we paid about 20 Euros (Forints not necessary) for the approximate 20 minute drive to the city centre (Pest side).
The Corinthia had a room for us early in the morning, was beautiful and comfortable but we would have preferred staying closer to the river and main shopping area--maybe the Marriott, Sofitel or Intercontinental.
I concur with the comments posted previously by Charlotte T. and Adjohn so I will just make some additional comments:
