On Monday I had an overnight stay in Bristol hotel and I was pleasantly surprised how clean the room was. I mean, it was impeccably clean! It was a true joy to take a shower and the hotel offers vegan friendly skin care. Also, it surprised me that coffee in the hotel was free, so as water. Though my room was on the first floor, I could not hear any noise and I had a night of full sleep.
Continental Comfort in Budapest 🏩
For €260 a night 💶, the “junior suite” delivers big on comfort — a bed you’ll melt into 🛏️, pillows with personality, and a breakfast omelette 🍳 that could win awards. The staff are genuinely lovely 😊, and the building itself has a historic glass dome that makes you stop and stare.
Not everything hit the mark — the “wellness centre” (a sauna that’s more lukewarm hug than steamy escape 🧖♂️) and toiletries that smell like disappointment. Luxury touches didn’t quite sparkle, yet the space was clean, practical, and restful 😌.
