Budapest...26th June

Just another post about an hotel... This time the one I'm staying at in Budapest..

It proudly mentions in the room booklet that it was 'uniquely designed in the Bauhaus style .. boasting contemporary interior design'....

Well, while the building was constructed in 1937 and has curved bays at each end.. it has as much in common with Bauhaus as the the band 'Bauhaus' did.. (actually their song, 'Bella Lugosi's Dead is one of my all time favourites...).

The interiors are tired and remind me of a sanatorium that is in the autumn of its life. quiet, no noise.. I may be the only person here...

What has annoyed me the most is, looking to make a cup of tea there is none.. or coffee, only a sachet of sugar on each saucer. I assumed this was a mistake but the receptionist said no.. it is part of the mini bar service, they will be extra.. 
A sachet of basic Nescafe coffee must cost all of 10p.. no bathroom soap.. (this was a mistake) and no iron or board..

I have cancelled my booking for the return visit and re-booked elsewhere..

One of the benefits of taking a car on holiday is that you can pack miscellaneous items in the boot that wouldn't make it in a suitcase where space is precious. I remembered I have packed my own coffee.. 
I hope I won't be charged for boiling the water.....
