Hotels in Budapest, Hungary

The city center is close to many hotels in Budapest. Plan to stay near Deák Ferenc Square (Deák Ferenc tér) in the heart of the Hungarian capital, between the neighborhoods of Lipótváros and Belváros. Three of Budapest’s four metro lines (M1, M2 and M3) converge on the station at the square, as do several bus, tram and trolleybus lines. All are reasonably priced as public transport goes. Even though this is in the heart of the city, you can still find several cheap hotels in Budapest through momondo, such as the 7Seasons Apartments, the City Hotel Pilvax (where you will find the historical Pilvax Café) or the Promenade City Hotel. For other cheap hotels in Budapest, consider the Ibis Budapest Centrum in the Józsefváros neighborhood. In the nearby Inner City neighborhood, the Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel is also reasonably priced. Both are close to the Hungarian National Museum and the Kálvin Square (Kálvin tér) metro station, where metro lines M3 and M4 connect.

Remember, Budapest used to be two separate settlements: Buda, on the western side of the Danube, and Pest, on the eastern side. If you’re in town for the healing waters, most spas are on the Buda side. In Pest, City Park is a good bet for Budapest hotels closest to Széchenyi Bath. For history buffs, try the UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the Danube, the Castle Bazaar & Royal Gardens, Heroes’ Square, Margaret Island and the many bridges over the river linking Buda and Pest. Most of these sights are centered on District V, also known as Belváros-Lipótváros. Business travelers in town can book hotels in Budapest near Ferenc Liszt International Airport and then rent a car if they are time-pressed and don’t want to rely on public transport.

The Buda Castle is a must-see historic European architecture is your thing and is located just south of the Danube Promenade, within walking distance. Váci Street (Váci Utca), almost exactly opposite on the Pest side of the river in the Inner City neighborhood, is a pedestrian shopping and tourist area that runs parallel to the river. Within easy reach of any number of Budapest hotels are the city’s 80 geothermal springs, with the Széchenyi Medicinal Bath, on the M1 metro line at Széchenyi fürdő, being the largest and most famous spa bath on the continent. Don’t leave Budapest until you’ve soaked up those warm healing spa waters.
