Located below Castle Hill |
Apor Peter utca, 3 District I Budapest 1011 Hungary +36 1 224 0999 |
This is a rather anonymous and unpretentious hotel set in a small side street below Castle Hill. The rooms are fairly small but all contain a mini-bar and TV. The location is excellent, allowing for easy access to the chain bridge with its stunning views of the Danube. It's also a short (but steep) climb to the Castle District itself. Please note that credit cards are not accepted here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brand new art hotel |
Bem Rakpart, 16-19 Budapest 1011 Hungary +36 1 487 9487 http://www.artotel.hu |
'Art hotels' are all the rage in Europe, each dedicated to the art and design of a single artist, and in the case of Budapest it's the work of American artist Donald Sultan. The hotel's location is excellent: in the city's heart, on the Buda side of the river. Everything from the carpets to the wall designs, actual paintings and more are by Mr. Sultan. The result is an interesting and comfortable marriage of hotel and museum, but a museum where even the walls and floors are artistic creations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located near Moskva Square |
Csalogany utca, 23 District II Budapest 1027 Hungary +36 1 201 6333 |
This hotel presumably takes its name from its proximity to Moszkva ter (Moscow Square), which is now a real centre of activity in Buda. It is close to the metro and a major shopping mall (Mammut) as well as several fast food restaurants and 24-hour shops. The location is a good one for heading to the Pest side (three stops on the metro) as well as for taking trips into the lovely Buda Hills. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Newer than it looks |
Hegyalja ut, 14 District I Budapest 1016 Hungary +36 1 209 4775 http://www.goldhotel.hu |
This hotel is located on the Buda side of the river, just off of a rather busy road. It looks historical, but is in fact a recently built replica, thus offering charm with the added comfort of all the modern conveniences. The location is within an easy bus ride of the centre and is also right next to Gellert Hill and other interesting sights. The hotel is rated as a four-star establishment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Amazing views over the city |
Hess Andras ter, 1-3 Budapest 1014 Hungary +36 1 889 6600 http://www.budapest.hilton.com/ |
Built in 1976 around the ruins of a thirteenth-century Dominican monastery (the cloisters of which you can still walk around), this hotel offers amazing views over the Danube to Pest (for an extra HUF9,309). However, it should be noted that if your business is in Pest, the journey can be tedious during the rush-hour. The hotel's successful integration into the old ruins won it an architectural award, although today it may be considered a slightly intrusive addition to the Castle District skyline.

Situated on the river |
Apaczai Csere Janos utca, 12-14 District V Budapest 1368 Hungary +36 1 327 6333 http://www.budapest.interconti... |
Half the rooms here offer stunning views over the river to the Castle. During a major set of renovations, the hotel added the latest in high-tech conference facilities and improved on its business offerings. Its location is excellent, being close to most major sights and within a stone's throw of the chain bridge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful setting |
Szentharomsag ter, 6 (District I) Budapest 1014 Hungary +36 1 355 0122 |
The Kulturinnov hotel is a gem, which goes pretty much unnoticed by passersby, namely because it's located inside the Hungarian Culture Foundation. The hotel is small, with only sixteen rooms, and is often fully booked well ahead of time by those "in the know". The building in which it's housed is truly beautiful and well worth a look, even if you are not staying at the hotel. The combination of a Castle Hill location and an incredible building is a winning one. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located beside southern railway station |
Krisztina korut, 41-43 District I Budapest 1013 Hungary +36 1 488 8100 |
This hotel is located next to one of Budapest's few architectural disasters: the southern railway station. Fortunately, many rooms face away from the station, towards Castle Hill so be sure to ask for one of these when booking! The standards are high as you might expect from the Mercure chain. The hotel is on several public transit lines. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Equipped with a bowling alley |
Alkotas utca, 63-67 (District XII) Budapest 1123 Hungary +36 1 209 1990 http://www.novotel-bud-congres... |
This is the perfect spot for those conventioneers who are attending something at the city's International Conference Centre, which is just next door; they host hundreds of conferences each year. It's situated at a main highway junction on the Buda side on the road leading out to Vienna, making for a convenient commute to all points along the way, as well as for day trips outside the city. Bowling enthusiasts, you're at home, for there's an alley in the hotel. A full selection of business services are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Recently refurbished hotel |
Roosevelt Square, 2 District V Budapest 1051 Hungary +36 1 266 1234 http://www.sofitel.hu |
The 8-storey atrium (complete with a full-scale replica of an early aeroplane) suggests where the hotel's name originated. It makes for a delightfully light and airy place to dine. All room sizes offer the possibility of a view over the Danube. A refurbishment has equipped this hotel (originally built in 1982) with all the modern conveniences you would expect. The lobby is worth seeing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

With views of the Danube |
Bem rakpart, 11 Budapest 1027 Hungary +36 1 457 8080 http://www.victoria.hu |
This is a small modern hotel, separated from the Danube (on the Buda side) by a road. It offers terrific views of the river and is surrounded by an historic area that has long been neglected but which has recently been undergoing renewal. There are many sights within easy walking distance (including a staircase that leads up to Castle Hill) and it has good access to public transport. Most of the rooms here are twins.
