I've finally settled back in home and got back to my daily routine although I already miss Budapest so much. Especially do I miss this incredible hotel that I was able to call home for a couple days.

Hotel Parlament is a 4 star stylish new boutique hotel centrally located in Budapest, close to the Parlament.
Decorated in a minimalist style, the hotel features 65 individually designed, modern guest rooms with chic furnishings, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free buffet breakfast and free high-speed Internet access.

 The uniquely designed hotel bar offers a selection of Italian coffee specialties, a wide range of teas, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages along with snacks and sandwiches. The free buffet breakfast is served in the hotelís restaurant. Room service is also available during breakfast time. During "Happy Hour" (10:00 am to 5:00 pm) free tea, coffee, mineral water and snacks are available to all guests. Leisure facilities include a Jacuzzi and a Sauna open from 6 am to 10 pm. Additional hotel services and facilities include 24-hour reception, ticket/reservation services, an internet corner, a library with international newspapers and two conference rooms that can accommodate up to 60 people in total.

We were friendly welcomed at the reception by a lovely lady. Although we were a bit early to check in, she immediately took action to arrange everything for us. Before we got to our room, we spent some time at the Lounge Bar drinking coffee and eating snacks.

In our room was this nice welcoming gift including Champagne, chocolate and a very sweet note. They already had me with the chocolate. I'm such a sucker when it comes to sweets esp. when it's one of my favourite chocolate. How did they know?

What I loved during our stay the most was the variety you had each morning for breakfast. From bread to salad, fruits, meat, juice, yogurt, cereals, tea, coffee the list goes on. Really all things covered up.

The Spa area was a big plus as well. After a long, exhausting tourist day including a lot of walking we needed a place to chill out so every evening we spent a lot of time on our own at the spa. I could literally sleep in the Jacuzzi, so warm and cozy.

I already miss this place and Budapest. Hope I can visit soon again.
If you ever going to be in Budapest this is a hotel that I would highly recommend and is worth all the money. More details (here).

Much Love xx

Happy new week y'all!

Today's post is all about our last official day in Budapest. On that day we decided to go on a hop on hop off tour on a boat and of course did lots of eating.

We've started the one hour boat tour in the afternoon and saw a lot of places like the Parlament, Chain Bridge and many more. It's a whole different view when you see it all right from the water, like literally in it. It  was a very cool tour and we had just the perfect weather for such a tour.
My bestie and I literally turned the boat into a photoshoot and took the best advantage of it. I mean how often can you be on a boat in a foreign country right?  Despite the fact that we weren't the only ones on the boat. We  had like 20 people with us but that didn't distract us from doing our thing.

After the tour ended we hopped on another bus to grab something to eat after a adventures day. Before the tour started we already had lunch but to be honest it wasn't quite the deal. The prices were on the expensive side so I expected something at least appropriated but it wasn't at all. I ordered the Gulasch again because the day before I had like the best Gulasch ever so I thought I wouldn't go wrong with it since it's a national meal. But I was totally wrong and literally had to forced myself to eat at least a bit. After all, I paid for it so why shouldn't I take advantage of it.

Nevertheless, with that being said it was more than fair enough that we went for another round at this very beautiful restaurant called New York Salon. Did you see all this amazing golden architectures? To die for right? I immediately fell in love with the place and couldn't hold myself back from taking pictures. Everything there was on point. The waiters, the food, location ..just all in all perfect.
If you're ever going to visit Budapest this is a place I would highly recommend! And also they had this amazing apple cake that literally killed me that evening. I ordered twice and wanted to go for a third but I already had like so many things on my plate.

Anyways, there is one last post from Budapest coming up an it's about my stay at Parlament Hotel.
Stay tuned!

Hello everybody!

Well, here's the second part of my birthday in Budapest and to be honest the second part was my favourite. Since I don't like going out much esp. clubbing I prefer holding myself in silence. But since it was my birthday I needed to do something special right? Well, the party part is over and as mentioned already the second part which included tons of tourist activities was my favourite. We hopped of one of  Big Bus's sightseeing busses for a hop on hop off tour through Budapest.

We visited places like: St. Stephan's Basilica, acrossed the Chain Bridge, the Citadel, Matthias Church and so on. Pretty much a lot of highlights at once. It was my first time being away from home by myself except from several class trips but those doesn't count. 

After all the sightseeing activities we decided to head for lunch and near from our hotel we found this nice place called Ezaz Cafe and Bistro. I wanted to go for a typical Hungarian dish so I went for the Gulasch which by the way tastes just delicious. Did you know that Hungarians love to use pepper in mostly all their meals? Yes, they do!
And I almost forget to tell you a short funny story that happend in the restaurant. When the waiter brought me my food he kindly informed me that those extra hot green pepper (in the pictures above) are extremely hot, like the spiciest in Budapest. I was like okay, you don't know that I'm african and I can eat a lot of spicy stuff when it comes to it. So I kindly let him know that he shouldn't be worried, I got this! 
And guess what, I put one pepper in my mouth and I didn't feel anything spicy it was like nothing, seriously. Everybody in the restaurant was surprised that I finished them all in a sec without drinking water or so. Pretty funny to me haha ..never joke with africans when it comes to "spicy" food.

Anyways, to sum the day and my birthday up we enjoyed some spa time at our hotel with a hot Jacuzzi bath and movies in our room. Perfect day! Perfect birthday!

More Budapest experiences to come ..
