Budapest hotels & places to stay

This hotel was fabulous. The service was exceptional, the room spacious and clean, easy walk from train station, hop on hop off bus and best cafe in the world, The NY Cafe. They do not have dinner, but breakfast was one of the best we have experienced on our holiday so far, and a play area for children in the breakfast area was provided. Wished we had known about this hotel with our first visit to Budapest.

We stayed at the Prestige Hotel for 4 nights as our mini honeymoon before Christmas and I can only say what an amazing hotel it is with outstanding service. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Service – before even getting to Budapest I’d emailed the Prestige concierge a number of times to ask about and book some activities (theatre, riverboat dinner cruise and spa tickets). Every time I emailed them, they were quick to respond and always happy to help, nothing was too much trouble. Then throughout our time with them, whenever we needed anything, the reception staff were on hand to sort it – amazing service all round. Location – the hotel is perfectly located just 2 mins walk from the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, on the Pest side, to allow for easy access to the various sights of Budapest, on both sides of the Danube. It is also only 5 mins walk away from St. Stephens Basilica in the heart of the restaurant and bar area. Thank you Prestige Hotel for making our stay so special.

The stay was pleasant despite the fact that the staff at the rooftop bar was relatively unfriendly and had no service-mind. The room was small but very practical and the bed was comfortable. We had a wonderful breakfast, lots of choices from tasty warm and cold selections, the staffs at the breakfast room were very thoughtful, attentive and friendly. There is a wellness club and swimming pool at the Basement of the hotel, but with our booking, we were't entitled to use them, or unless we pay around EUR 15,- per person per day, which we found it, ridiculous for the guest to pay such amount to enter to the swimming pool at the hotel. The receptionists were helpful, though some speak little English, they tried much and put lots of efforts for us, so that we had an enjoyable stay in Budapest, thanks to the young receptionist girl, who were very friendly and attentive. About the location, we love it, the hotel located at the prime-business location of Budapest, very safe area to walk at night and all day long, only less than 2 minutes to US Embassy and a few minutes walk to the Metro Station and less than 10 minutes to Parliament House. Overall we are fairly happy with our stay at The President Hotel. Personally, we rate this hotel 3.5 stars.

I have returned to this hotel several times, I love it. Great staff, good location, clean spacious rooms. Its on the Buda side but I think th`e location is pretty good with a metro and tram a few minutes walk and Budapest having a great public transport system you are 10-20 minutes form anywhere in the Pest area. I have stayed in a few hotels in Pest that are old and not as clean as this despite equal star ranking as this hotel, but this hotel is modern and clean.

mercure city center hotel is ideally located in very center of budapest, in famous vatci utca (main pedestrian street) where lot of h palaces, places of interest, restaurants and shops can be found. well known bridges connecting banks of danube river are in close proximity as well. it’s walking distance to all attractions and museums. hotel is very well managed, great service, rooms are very spacious, clean with refrigerator, safe, good aircon system, modern bathroom, but bed could be more comfortable (too soft mattress is not what i prefer). hotel provides free wireless and can arrange taxi to pick you up/take you to the airport - one way 23 euros). next to hotel is excellent italian restaurant which i would warmly recommend (avoid those restaurants with "traditional cuisine" on huge square situated right from hotel and next to new shopping mall, its lousy food there, not worth the money!) budapest is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but 2 -3 days will be quite enough to see the most important city can offer. i would definitely stay again in hotel mercure city center if i go again to capital of hungary ! please note, if you want to stay in very center, make sure you booked “mercure city center hotel” since there are several “mercure” hotels in the town.

With the tram dropping us right in front of the hotel, the location was ideal for viewing one of the best buildings in Budapest, the Parliament! We luckily had a room which faced the building and it was simply beautiful, seeing it all lit up at night. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful, especially the gentleman who helped recommend places to eat and booked is into the incredible Aszu restaurant. It was great and we really appreciated it. The hotel location to other sites, was great. Fisherman's Bastion is about a 10 minute walk uphill (be prepared for a lot of hills and steps on this side of Budapest) The Chain Bridge is also about a 5 minute walk, along with the funicular station which takes you to Buda Castle. This hotel was just ideal and so glad we picked a gem in itself. I highly recommend to everyone.

When I was about to check in I was told there was an error in my reservation - the days was offset by one day and they had expected my arrival the day before! However, without any argument the receptionist kindly offered to correct the booking free of charge, even though the fault was not at the hotel. I was amazed they didn't use the situation to cash in a few extra $$ but I guess it shows their dedication in making the stay as pleasant and free of troubles for the traveler as possible. A big star in their book for that! As for the rest of the stay, it was worth every cent. The location is about perfect for Budapest, close to the river, the main shopping street, and right next to the metro and trams. The rooms was very well cleaned and even though small (they warn about this on their page) the space is well used so they don't feel that small. And the breakfast was very well for being free of charge. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended! (Business travelers beware, there is a computer at the lobby and a free wi-fi hotspot, but the wi-fi does not work from the rooms.)

I like this hotel very much. I stayed several times in this hotel, however I stayed in several other hotels in Budapest. This is for me the best one. I prefer it compared to many other hotels in Budapest. Close to the center, close to the main streets, close to the Danube river, etc...Good food, excellent breakfast, nice bar, people very pleasant and helpful. I like the free of charge Internet connection. Rooms are comfortable. This is a really good hotel to stay for 3 or 4 nights.

I only stayed for one night, but have nothing to complain about this hotel. It was good value for money. I chose this hotel because i wanted a quick access out of the city to the airport, while still being close to downtown. Most of the hotels in this category in Budapest have very small rooms and i was positively surprised that the rooms are more spacious than in other hotels I have stayed. Beds are comfortable and WiFi is free.

This apartment was a very practical and relaxed place to stay in Budapest for 5 days. The centre of town is 2 minutes away, two supermarkets in the street and plenty of tourist information close by. The apartment is Ikea style - flooring, furniture and kitchen equipment which is very pleasant. The lounge, dining and kitchen are large and very comfortable as are the bedrooms. The toilet and bathroom are separate and there is a good washing machine in the bathroom with a drying frame. The balcony overlooks a courtyard and our apartment had a view over the top of the building to St Stephen's church, but in general it is not an apartment for a view. The balcony is nice to sit out on for fresh air and relaxing. The apartment block is part of a larger complex including Central Apartments, Senator and 7 seasons. All blocks are interlinked through corridors and have a central car park underground. All apartments are similar and extremely well priced for the standard they provide. The car parking is great and secure but costs 15 euro a day. All in all Trendy and Central (we had an extra 2 nights and stayed at Central)were delightful places to stay and to enjoy the delights of Budapest. Tip: the red /hop on hop off bus is better than the blue bus and the Budapest card for 48 ours is worthwhile especially for travelling on public transport and walking tours. Great shops; high end and practical shops like Zara, H&M(change in the weather necessitated warm clothing purchases)and there a MAC store. We also enjoyed the zoo which had lots of animals and they were in a animal friendly environment . - quite a few babies such lions and an elephant.

The apartment is well situated to everything in Budapest. It is part of a larger group of 4 blocks. We stayed at Trendyfor 3 days before staying at Centrel which is probably a better choice but dearer. The lounge, kitchen and balcony at Centrel were very comfortable but bedroom was very small -the bed was up against the wall and hard to get into. Car parking underneath was secure and convenient but 15 euros a night. The balcony was a nice spot but only overlooks other apartments and the roof of the arcade below. At 71 AUD a night, the apartment is very comfortable and great value - very much recommended!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was close by everything we wanted to get to (including the best baths/sauna in Budapest) with Michelin rated restaurants in the area. While the front bar service was sometimes a bit slow, the staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel was quite fresh and clean. We enjoyed our view of the castle from the room, and would definitely stay here again if visiting Budapest.

Greetings from Pakistan!! I was traveling with my wife and a three and a half year old son. I initially booked the hotel for two nights and later on extended it for another two days. The extension of my stay was done without any hassle. The hotel is beautiful and the room had everything that we needed. The staff was super super friendly and they were so kind to us and especially to my kid offering candies and spoiling him all the time. The breakfast was enough for us, that we didn't need to have lunch. The lift was slightly old, but it works perfectly alright. The washroom was modern, and the rooms were very clean. The best part of this hotel was its location. It is very very central, and you can see many places within your walking distance. Also, you can find a super market very close to the hotel, and a delicious "Istanbul Doner Kebab" is also available within your walking distance. I would not mind staying there once again, if I travel Budapest once again.

We had been on a Viking Cruise for a week ending in Budapest. The hotel is Directly across the Chain Bridge and only minutes taxi ride from the docks. It is close to the tram station and walking distance to many great restaurants and city sights. The young man at the desk during the day was very welcoming and helpful in every way-a real gem for this Hotel. The night staff was not so helpful! I injured my foot and asked for ice for swelling. The simple response to me was- we have no ice. No suggestions were offered. My husband discovered ice in our Small freezer compartment in the room and I was able to use it. In contrast, in our next hotel in Vienna, the desk manager couldn’t have been more concerned and got ice for me in addition to other suggestions to relieve the swelling and inquired about my foot the next day!

This is the best place in Budapest to stay. The location ist absolutely perfect - it's located between the most popular sights like the Basilika, the Synagoge and the Vörösmarty Tér. You can reach all these points in around 5-10 minutes by foot. The staff is really friendly and the rooms are nice and clean. The bed is so comfortable and it's quiet outside so that you'll have a good sleep. The breakfast makes all your wishes come true! There is almost everything to eat. You can get 3 different types of croissants, doughnuts and you can also have eggs, backed beans or sausages, cake, fresh fruits,.... I would definitely come back to this hotel and recommend it to everyone! Never had such a good hotel for such a good and fair price.

It's a big four star hotel in Buda side of Budapest. Even though it looks a bit run-down, room is clean. Location is great. It's just right next to the metro station "Deli Palyaudvar" of line 2. It takes only about ten minutes to walk up the hill to get to Mathas Church and Fisherman's Bastion. The free wifi is fast. After all, it's a good value for a 4 star hotel. The only bad experience we had was that there were several noisy guys near our rooms which kept on screaming until mid-night but it may be a one-off happening and not much to blame the hotel. Overall, we were satisfied with Mecure Budapest Buda Hotel and would definitely stay there should we visit Budapest again.

We had a lovely few days in Budapest and would highly recommend the Corvin Centre Suites. We were originally booked in the Fraser residences which was only a short distance from the Corvin , when we arrived they informed us that our booking had been cancelled because the Residences were full . We contacted Agoda and they quickly found us a new accommodation . The worst part about the whole experience was the check in we couldn't find the reception luckily we bumped into the Corvin cleaner and she took us to the reception which is on the 6 floor(not very well sign posted). Once checked in we loved the apartments they were a modern and good size ideal for 4 days. They were located close to a new shopping centre and lots of local bars and coffee shops ideal for a quick drink close to home before bed after an exhausting day sight seeing .The Corvin are close to the tram stop that takes you into the centre of Budapest in 5 mins and for only £10 for 3 days the travel pass was great value for money . I could not recommend the Corvin Suites highly enough .
