Ken, The Hilton was beautiful. I was impressed with the area. Should be mentioned that it is located on the foundation of a 10th (?) century monestary and the facade is original. It is really lovely. I'm glad it was so nice inside. I thought it might be.

Budapest has a large number of very fine hotels, all well located. I'm amazed that it has so many fine services considering its late 20th century past, far superior to Athens.
