Ensana Grand Margaret Island

The old Grand Hotel on the car-free island in the Danube

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
The Grand Hotel opened on Margaret Island in 1873 and still stands at the northern end of it, linked by a heated underground corridor to the Ensana Thermal next door and its thermal pools. The island carries no through traffic, so the walk from the front door is parkland in every direction. Small dogs and cats are taken, one per room, at a flat nightly rate set out in the group's terms. It suits people who want a real park on the doorstep instead of a city block.

Why it's in the collection

You are inside Margaret Island itself, two and a half kilometres of car-free park with a rubberised running track round the perimeter, the Japanese Garden and the lawns around the old water tower. Nothing else in Budapest puts a dog this far from traffic.

Best suited for

One small dog or cat per room, and not in the restaurant or the pools.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

The dog can cross the common areas to reach the room, on a lead or in a carrier, but the restaurant, the pools and the thermal areas are people only. Tell the hotel at the time of booking.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
