Hungary hotels & accommodations
It seems that hotel stars in Hungary are inflated. More so than in other places. The Continental is a sólida 3 star hotel in international categories. It does have the amenities and location, but the room was a little tired, and for a 4-star hotel the double room was very tight. Again, acceptable on a 3-star but not on a 4-star. We stayed there for 4 nights and I do...
In general,hotel should have at least 4 stars as the hotel room was stylish and clean, breakfast was amazing and the idea of champagne for breakfast is just so unique! The spa zone with jacuzzi and sauna is a great idea for the winter,to go to jacuzzi after a long walk around the city. The staff in this hotel,for us, has five stars!They were always friendly,willing to ...
I absoloutly loved this hotel, the staff were all really friendly and helpful and the whole style of the hotel, the spa area and the rooms is really stylish. I booked the room with a balcony which was quite large but the view wasn't great, either way it was a nice outdoor space with sun all day. The spa area is low key and not usually that busy at all, it's lovely to ...
The staff here is friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. All of the staff that we encountered were well trained and very polished. The rooms were beautiful and spotless, as was the rest of the hotel. The extra little touches were very much appreciated as this was the final city of our very busy travels and we were becoming weary. The location was excellent. We walked ...
Central Location was important to me, and Opera Garden is in walking distance of many famous sights. There was a night market very close - although I recommend you check carefully in which direction you are walking before marching off. There is branch of the tourist offices next door. We had a 4 bed apartment, and there were generous essential supplies, including ...
Really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, good facilities, very nice breakfast. Excellent value. The only slight issue we had involved our triple room for 3 adults. The air conditioning was not working in the room and it was very hot outside. At first, the staff was insistent that the a/c would start working if we just gave it more time, and they had no other ...
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 wellnes...
Just the most amazing hotel experience ever, anywhere. From check in to check out everything was just perfect The location is great, close to the metro and trams. The property is awesome, the rooms are gorgeous and we loved the linen and complimentary nespresso in the room. Breakfast was first class. The staff were attentetive and extremely helpful. The room rate was a...
We have been travel the world and this was one of most wonderful hotel we ever stayed. We stayed there for 3 nights before joining the river cruise. We couldn't even find one bad figure of this hotel. Wonderful hospitality, well keep old building, staff are very nice. We have booked executive room so we also have lounge to use everyday as well, snack&foods bar, c...
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 ...
The Queen's Court Hotel is a nice, quiet place with nice big suites (we had a Superior Suite rather than a Standard). The pool & sauna area were quite small but that's all you really need for a hotel of this size. The staff were welcoming and polite although we weren't offered any assistance with our bags, which surprised me. Not that I would have taken them up on...
I Enjoyed my stay in this hotel and the country. It has been to date the best European country I have visited and the hotel made the holiday even better. The location of the hotel is perfect right next to the famous Chain bridge. My room had a large window which overlooked the bridge and castle across the river. At night these were beautifully lit up which made for a v...
I stayed two nights at Boscolo Budepest. It was amazing and given me an unique experience to my trip in Hungary . Customer service is excellent and they provide me with up to date info to various tourist spots I intended to visit. Room is spacious and clean. The lobby and New Yoke cafe dinning experience is one you shouldn't miss.
Fantastic location especially if you are arriving by train to Keléti station (hotel is on your left when you come out of the station). All major sights are just a bus ride down the road and you can take literally any bus (5, 7, 178.....) going down Rákóczi Út. to get to them. Check-in at 3 pm is a little bit late if you arrive in the morning but you can leave your lu...
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Thy made the my wife and I feel very welcome and that set the tone for the entire vacation. The room was somewhat small, but it was clean and everything was in good condition. Additionally, given what we paid, the room was well worth the price. If I came back to Hungary, I would come back here.
Stayed overnight, as others say the location is in the very center of the city, the Great Market Hall is literally just around the corner (2 minutes of walking), as is the nearest metro station. The hotel itself is nice, clean, and quiet. Breakfast selection is quite wide and very tasty (the best I've had so far in Budapest). What I have to put on a figurative pedesta...
It is very easy to find the hotel and it offers free street side parking (a few). It is a family run hotel, the owner are very kind and easy to communicate with in English. Location is the best feature of the hotel. It is on the Buda side of the river bank. It is all in walking distance to any major attractions of the city. There are plenty good restaurant around th...
the location is good. just 5 mins walk from the nearest station which is connecting to the centre and the international bus stop. so if you would like to use international bus, its gonna be really good hotel. plus, near the station there is the place to exchange money and the rate is quite nice. so I would recommend that you should exchange money not in the hotel but i...
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 $...
We had a lovely relaxing break, the rooms were fantastic, clean and comfortable, we had a room with a river view which I highly recommend. Breakfast was great, loads to choose from. Very clean and friendly hotel and city, we would definitely book here again
For $100 per night you get a fully loaded apartment... I thought it was too good to be true. But it was the deal of a lifetime. Walking distance to everything, very safe - lots of cops/guards at night. Washing machine, full kitchen, separate shower & barroom, also living room, couch tv, your own physical wi-fi (I streamed movies from New Jersey to Hungary!) full kit...
I booked the place only when they had a discount in which case it’s great. But if the price goes above 10 euro I would choose another place. The staff is really fun. Really great! The place is very new. Design is sort of good. The kitchen is equipped with dishwashers. There is a very good choice or free teas. They ask you to label your food but don't provide a pen. Wi-...
The hotel itself was quiet and clean and in a good location. What set it apart, though, was the quality of customer service I received. The desk receptionist,, spoke excellent English and assisted me in finding the price, directions, and time of a local Budapest soccer game. He went out of his way to answer all of my questions, pinned the most important places on my...
I had a fab week in this hotel. To be honest I read some reviews before I booked this hotel and wasn't really sure what to expect but I highly recommend this hotel for everyone since it is well worth it comparing the money I spent.
Cheap places to stay in Hungary
In a few words: Okay - Good Hostel I would stay there again This Hostel has a special flair which is somewhere between awesome and a bit rundown. The Main area has several rooms and two kitchens, multiple bathrooms and showers. It's has everything you need and looks pretty amazing on the first look. If you watch closer you can see that the condition and cleanliness co...
Best for the price. Highly recommended. One of the receptionist was pretty.
The location of the hostel is good to walk around the city, but hard to find out first time. The hostel has lots of the rooms, and mixed dormitory room where I stayed is good. It had two shower booth, two independent toilets. There is a indivisual big locker and this is very convenient. The stuffs were very kind and friendly to give me an information of the city. The p...
clean, good location, room is big, and due to the low season the price is good. We stayed for four days, met three girls in reception. Two pretty girls is really helpful, and another one is rude. I booked for 2days at first before we arrived, and want to extend another two days so i booked from agoda again. The rude girl said that i booked two different apartment from...
Great people running this place! Best location, very ambitious..remodeling and making it nicer as we speak. Internet is the fastest I have ever experienced..somewhere at more than 300 MB!!! Can not be beaten in any aspects. Thank you!
The Hostel is located in a nature conservation area, close to the Margaret Bridge, and it took only five minutes to reach the public transportation. The accomodation is clean, which also has a beautiful huge terrace, and the stuff is up-to-date and flexible. The house policy contains some things such as: after 10 pm you have to keep the silence providing the guests a r...
Cons: 1) No sign or any mention of the hostel at the front door for the building and no information on how to get in. 2) We booked two beds in a six bed dorm that apparently does not exist. The smallest dorm room was 8 bed.. 3) There is only one toilet for the whole hostel (I think 18 beds) so be prepared to wait.. There is a second room with shower only. 4) The kitch...
This place is good for a budget traveller . Good location and its cheap to stay for couple of nights
The staff was amazing and so helpful and nice, the rooms are big and clean. The common areas are kept clean as well! Location wise it was perfect for me but I know some people would like it a bit more “central”, the metro and tram is right next door, there is a lidl and shopping center 3-5 minutes walk from the hostel. Stayed 2 nights longer, really good, they are reno...
Has all the friendliness of a hostel with the comfort of a hotel. Rooms huge and perfectly quiet. Staff super friendly. Locations AMAZING. All ruin bars nearby. The biggest and best one on the same street. They have daily events at the hostel like wine tasting, spagetti night and organised pub crawls.
I stayed at the 12-bed dorm, and beds were tidy and fairly comfortable. They even made my bed on the third day, even though I was checking out the next day. I strongly recommend checking in early so you get to pick the bed in the best position (i.e. against the wall, not too close to other beds). There was only one ensuite bathroom in the room, but more bathrooms outs...
Everything was perfect. I'm pretty sure that I have quite many hostel experiences and here was best. Every single staff was so friendly and they were always ready to help everything. The room was spacious and cozy. They do clean every single space. Also common space was cozy just like I'm at home. They have best bathrooms compared to other Hostels. Every facilities are...
I hadn't ever stayed in a hostel before so didnt know what ti expect but was pleasantly surprised. Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Location couldn't have been better, we walked everywhere during out stay (although local public transport is available). Only downside was the property was a little bit difficult to...
Awesome location and activities, but what makes this hostel so amazing is how the staff makes you feel right at home in the very first minute. Best hostel in Budapest for sure.
I stayed in this hostel only for 1 night as early morning I had to catch a train from Kelenfold train station. It is just 20mins walk away from the hostel. Also, using trams or buses it was easy to get to the centre, only 10mins away or even it was possible to walk 40mins. Staff was very nice and quick in doing the check-in. Even helped with tram tickets. Hostel was cl...
Only one of the staff could speak English. She was very friendly and accommodating. The bathroom is kinda stinky. Great location though, just 3-5 minutes from metro
Das Nest is a welcome alternative to the many 'party' hostels that populate Budapest. It's a small boutique place that feels much more homely than the large hostel in the centre. The staff are extremely friendly and chilled out. The highlight of the hostel is the interior design. It's good a very unique, hippy yet modern and stylish look that makes the whole place feel...
The hostel is very quiet, just 1 minute away from the metro station and is very close to the main attraction in Budapest. The room is very spacious for 4 person, with a sofa and desk for in room used. There is also a good price supermarket nearby, about 5 minutes walk. The kitchen is the best, well equiped and had all the utensils that needed. I love it so much. T...
We're a couple in our mid 20's who like clean accommodation but with a bit of a relaxed / social vibe. This is exactly what we got at Wombats. We arrived early Friday 16th and were too early to check-in, so left our luggage at the storage and went walking. It rained heavily and we got soaked, so returned to the hostel earlier than check-in (check-in is at 2pm). A very...
Overall great time. I've met people here that I will continue to be in touch with in the future. The price I got for my room was excellent, and the cleaning service does their job on a daily basis. Unfortunately, if you plan to stay a long time, this hostel needs to fix their washers and dryers before I give them 5 stars. Their washers/dryers are very poor quality, and...
The hostel was in a great location, and if you. Like old buildings, this one's for you. The room was simple, nothing too fancy… But the location was great. The metro and restaurants are very close nearby. The staff was friendly, but misunderstood my booking and charge me twice. I'm waiting to get reimbursed for one day that I overpaid. The cost overall was very nice ...
Very helpful and friendly owner, comfortable beds, fast Wifi, nice clean rooms and communal kitchen. The location of this Guesthouse is close to the city center and also close to the lake Balaton. Very good restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Thank you - i will come back!
The room was clean and comfortable however the hotel isn't in the same building shown in the photos its about 1km away, theres a city tax and cleaning fee they make you pay after your stay even after you paid your full amount online and it states they have luggage storage online but then tell us we cant store our bags making us find another option. Overall room was oka...
I really liked this place - especially since I got it for a promotional price. It's basically an apartment, and mine was a big studio with a nice view and large balcony. You have a kitchenette with all that's needed, bathroom with shower and even a box for used clothes (nice touch :P), a quite big room with a nice bed and huge drawer, a table and chairs, a sofa, TV, in...
Amadeus was very friendly and helpful. The guest house was comfortable. Just next to the house is the St Thomas Hill with amazing view of the Bascillica and Castle.
We only stood one night with my girlfriend, but we wish we would have stay for longer. The owners are very kind and friendly, they made sure our short stay is pleasant. Do not hesitate to book!
The room is refreshing and there is no extra furniture. Life functions are all available, and the environment is quiet. I hope I can have an English guidebook there.

Could not asked for more. Staff was really helpful and booked both restaurants, spas, and taxis for us. Rooms were super modern and clean, bed was comfy and it was quiet. Location is the best, more central than this you cannot go. Best thing with Budapest is all the fantastic restaurants and easiness to get around to see all attractions. Love Budapest!!
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 lovely relaxing break, the rooms were fantastic, clean and comfortable, we had a room with a river view which I highly recommend. Breakfast was great, loads to choose from. Very clean and friendly hotel and city, we would definitely book here again
This is an acceptable place. Certainly not "Fantastic" or "8.6" or any other ridiculous superlatives Agoda now gives to most every hotel it sells! The worst part is the entry - on a side street, dark at night/limited street lights, no illuminated hotel signage, and a dimly lit lobby. This creates an unsettling experience. It is also worth mentioning that it is a bit fu...
Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was an ample buffet. The only downside was 1. We booked a room with a balcony as the room was non-smoking and it was only a juliet balcony so not big enough to actually stand on. 2. There was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. I know they sold coffe...
Well, we stayed at the first floor next to the elevator, :-(, the location of the hotel is really good, next to the biggest metro station and walking distance from nice streets and restaurants. The staff was really nice and helpfull. But the breakfast was not that good, always the same foods, coffee was not that good, althought they have very good coffee in Hungary, ju...
Positive: Good location for sightseeing (not so good for shopping), you can easy walk up to Buda castle and the other sights from the hotel, walk path starts just outside hotel door. Great little Belgian restaurant 30m from hotel. close to hop on/off stops for tourist buses and normal bus stops. Negative: Tiny blankets. Never been in a hotel with that small blankets, ...
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 th...
The hotel is in good condition. Location is good. It is close to train station so that we can easy find the hotel after the train from Vienna to there at Midnight. It is also very close to the underground so that it is convenience to everywhere of pudepest for sight seeing. Also good service. Clean and nice. Free internet access at lobby.
At first there was a confusion when we checked in. We booked for 3 persons but were informed only 2, but in the end, it was sorted & the staff acknowledged we were right. Anyway we were ok cos the staff, Viktoria, was very polite, helpful & very pleasant. Its location is just a walking distance from various attractions like Váci Street, Vigado Square, Vorosmarty Squa...
Very handy location and I liked the apartment. However, it was only after booking I became aware of time restrictions re getting the key (though not a problem for my arrival time) and that I couldn't pay for the apartment by card, only cash (euro or local). I got cash from ATM but I would have taken cash with me if I had known in advance. Great place, just informatio...
Hotel Moments was the perfect stay in Budapest. The location cannot be any better, as it is walking distance to everything. The hotel is very new, so It is clean and the amenities were fantastic. The staff was always friendly and provided great recommendations for my girlfriend and I. They are more than happy to share info on bars, restaurants, touristy things, etc. Th...
Me and my husband truly recommend this hotel. Great location with main tourist attractions (such as National Museum of Hungary, Gellert's Hill, Freedom Bridge) within reach. Located near Kalvin's Square where you can transfer into metro, bus or tram. The hotel is very quiet and comfortable. The hotel stuff is absolutely marvelous, very kind and helpful and they are mak...
Had a glitch with Agoda reservations that included dinner while the hotel said they cannot accept that on the price we paid. Agoda team and the Hotel has worked it out for the best. Would recommend double checking that when booking.
Starlight was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, largely due to the fantastic staff and their service. The rooms are large, bath very nice with huge tub. Breakfast was fantastic, hot and cold options. Istvan, (Stephan) the manager did everything he could to make our stay easier...booking tickets, making calls for us, even baking us fresh croissants while...
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'...
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 hote...
Very clean and awesome hotel. Location is a bit far from old town but there are buses nearby so not a problem. Hotel very near to buda castle. Feel very comfortable in the room.

I stayed two nights at Boscolo Budepest. It was amazing and given me an unique experience to my trip in Hungary . Customer service is excellent and they provide me with up to date info to various tourist spots I intended to visit. Room is spacious and clean. The lobby and New Yoke cafe dinning experience is one you shouldn't miss.
I had a fantastic time at the Hotel Divinus, the classiest hotel in Debrecen! Awesome dinner and breakfast offered included in the room price! The wellness center is amazing , state-of-the-art facilities, a special mention to Mesi from the wellness centre who is a very knowledgeable, dedicated staff! Highly recommend Hotel Divinus for a luxurious, relaxing experience!...
The room was perfect and the location was ideal for a first visit to Budapest. Breakfast was good and staff service was friendly and professional. The only part of the hotel that wasn't 5 star was the bathroom. This was old and outdated. Still with a shower over the bath and the hair dryer over heated when used. I actually felt that the bathroom also needed a really go...
We had a great time in this hotel. The spa center is great; the food is very nice and the staff very friendly. We had a very relaxing stay and will gladly go back. Lake Heviz is very close by and a lot of fun too. Tip: You can hire bikes from the Hotel.
You would think you walked into a interior design showpiece when you first step into the hotel and up to your room. Lovely and professional staff that made our 2 night stay a pleasant one. Location of the hotel is relatively good - it depends whether you prefer the Buda or Pest side. Whichever the case, it is right next to the Chain bridge and the Buda castle funicula...
Beautiful Hotel in Budapest and the service was superb. Christian at the concierge was so helpful with all our queries. Definitely one pf the best if not the best accommodation in the city.
It's generally considered the best or one of the best hotels in Pest. Near the river, right in the middle of the picture-postcard part of town, walking streets, and the best shopping an dining. Ironically, the building itself is a modern eyesore in my opinion. Rooms on the square are best, and there are many standard rooms with that view. The pool is too small and the ...
I book the hotel for my two bosses who had a business trip on budapest The first booked is for 2 nights and two rooms But they had to extend the meeting so i booked another 1 night and two rooms I already send a message to hotel with explanation 'this is extended guess from booking code xxxxxx' I double check with agoda team and agoda team its enough to make them (...
First, the staff at the hotel are incredible. Quick to arrange anything you want. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the location is absolutely perfect, right opposite the Chain Bridge. Its the kind of hotel you look forward to coming back to. Room and bathroom are also very nice. Beakfast was good but the hot food, eggs, pancakes, etc. were a little below par. Charcuter...

The place wasn't to big but not too small. The owner was lovely and ever so helpful. The area is great if you do not want to be in the city centre. Very calm and an amazing restaurant just round the corner.
There was no hot water or heat during my stay. I was not offered any compensation. The unit is in a great location but a ton of construction going on outside the apartment at the moment. The unit is spacious and airy but dark and quiet. Otherwise its just OK. Its also not a true 2 bedroom... More like one bedroom plus loft. So if you need two bedrooms that are pr...
