最高でした。部屋から鎖橋と王宮を臨めるこれ以上ないお部屋でした！あとSleep Menuというのがあり、事前に依頼すると追加料金なしでバブルバスやルームミストを満喫することができました。 ホテル出てすぐにトラム2番に乗れたりするので、中央市場にもアクセス抜群です。さすが5つ星、心地よいステイを楽しめました。 強いて言うなら、リフトが来るのが遅い（まったく動いていない基もあるのに1基だけで待たされる）のと、テレビがちょっと使いにくかったくらいです。

We recently returned from an expensive trip thru Paris, Zurich Switzerland, Zagreb, Croatia,Budapest Hungary and Prague,Czech and I must say The Sofitel Chain Bridge was the most incredible experience of all! Every single person at the hotel was amazing and helped us navigate thru this amazing city, I wish I could remember all their names but I do remember Lilly from the Paris Budapest restaurant in the hotel, she made me and my daughters trip special and she will not be forgotten:)We actually extended our stay because we did not want to leave.

Havde hørt at dette hotel er en del af en luksuriøs hotel kæde. Vi havde set meget frem til vores besøg og poolen. Da vi tjekker ind om natten er personalet træt og ligeglad. Poolen er under renovering hvilket ikke er annoceret nogle steder. Og svaret var bare sådan er det. Hotellet fremstår træt og brugt. Og en del støv på lamper og lign. På værelset.
