 Private rooms near the centre |
Mester utca, 3 District IX Budapest 1095 Hungary +36 1 275 9136 |
Located in the ninth district, this apartment house hotel is a short eight-minute Metro ride from the centre (M3 line). It offers six rooms with a range of facilities, including parking and a sports and fitness room. The location is a good one, and allows for some interesting walks in the immediate vicinity. As is the case with any hotels on the Metro line, it is worth getting off the train one or two stops from the center, as there you will find some of the more interesting and less commercial/tourist streets.

Built in 1914 |
Kossuth Lajos utca, 19-21 District V Budapest 1053 Hungary +36 1 889 6000 http://www.danubiusgroup.com/a... |
Situated on a busy road junction in downtown Pest, this hotel - with its ornate marble and gilt furnishings - is the epitome of early twentieth-century style. It is a tad run down, but makes a pleasant change from the often anonymous international hotel chains. The restaurant and café are very pleasant and suitably ornate. This is a Budapest classic, and a part of the city's history. Review © 2007, Wcities |

First-class downtown hostel |
Nyar utca, 6 District VII Budapest 1072 Hungary +36 1 413 2555 http://www.marcopolohostel.com/ |
This hostel is excellent. Even the dorm rooms are comfortable and relatively private (they are divided by small walls and curtains). Singles, doubles, triples and quads are also available. The standard here is much higher than in most hostels; in fact, it's even higher than that in many budget hotels. A wide range of services is offered; from internet access to newspapers and magazines. Reception is open 24 hours, there is no curfew or lockout and the staff are enthusiastic and friendly. What more could you want? Review © 2007, Wcities |

Just outside city centre |
Blathy Otto utca, 21 District VIII Budapest 1089 Hungary +36 1 210 4125 |
This hotel is located on a side street in the eighth district, near a main road (Ulloi ut). There is a Metro stop within walking distance. Through much renovation and renewal, the eighth district has added lots of interesting small shops and cafés. Its seedier side has been almost completely eliminated, and now this neighborhood can be considered one of the most genuine in the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Affordable, downtown hotel |
Konyves Kalman korut, 44 District VIII Budapest 1087 Hungary +36 1 333 6505 |
This three-star hotel is located in the eighth district. It offers the usual Eravis chain features such as satellite TV and mini-bar, but at a more attractive price than most of its competitors. It is a short tram ride to the city centre and other attractions.While you may have heard that the eighth district has a dubious reputation, it is constantly being gentrified, and is now a much more respectable (and affordable) part of the city. New and upscale restaurants, cafes and bars are opening here all the time, while the more seedy element is almost completely gone. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Three-star accomodation |
Fehervari ut, 179 District XI Budapest 1119 Hungary +36 1 208 1232 |
Located on the Buda side, this hotel has 149 rooms. It used to be a workers' hostel, but was converted into a three-star hotel by the ambitious Eravis chain. Now it offers comfortable rooms with good facilities at fairly reasonable prices. The location is not exactly central, but there are good public transit connections to the centre. There are some very interesting small neighborhoods around the hotel, including places that in the past would have been considered separate villages on the outskirts of Budapest. Keep an eye out for old wine cellars dug into the sides of hills as you drive along. Many of these are still in use, and this remains a wine storage and distribution area. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Downtown hotel |
Raday utca, 6 District IX Budapest 1092 Hungary +36 1 215 8585 |
There is plenty of traffic whizzing past this downtown hotel. As with all Ibis hotels, you can expect a very good standard of service and value for money. The location is convenient for all of the city's sights and the streets immediately surrounding the hotel are full of interesting small shops and cool cafés. There are also excellent public transport connections to the hotel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Large downtown hotel |
Kecskemeti utca, 14 District V Budapest 1053 Hungary +36 1 486 8800 http://www.mercure.com |
This very large hotel is made up of two separate buildings, connected to each other by one of Budapest's few aerial walkways. The location is excellent, on a side street just off one of the city's busiest thoroughfares. The windows have been soundproofed, ensuring your stay will be peaceful. There are many trendy cafés and excellent restaurants nearby and many sights are within easy walking distance. Be aware that there are several Mercure hotels in the city: you will need to know the name of the one you have chosen or the taxi driver may take you to the wrong one. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Smaller hotel just outside the centre |
Ulloi ut 108 District X Budapest 1101 Hungary +36 1 263 0794 |
This two star hotel is in a nice building; the only drawback is that it is close to both a major road and train tracks: ask for a room at the back. Travel to the centre is easy (about seven minutes by metro). There are some interesting walks to be had in the immediate area, revealing a somewhat different side to Budapest than the impression offered by the city centre. You may wish to leave the Metro several stops before downtown, as the walk from there passes through some of Budapest's more interesting streets, full of small local cafes, shops and other interesting places.

Quiet hotel near Oktogon |
Akacfa utca, 1-3 District VII Budapest 1072 Hungary +36 1 478 3050 |
This small, friendly hotel is located on a quiet side street near Oktogon. The location is excellent. Oktogon is one of the city's main intersections. Most of the major sights are within easy walking distance and the yellow metro line also runs this way. Access to the train stations is also easy, making this hotel a definite leader in terms of good location and value for money. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fairly basic but comfortable |
Soroksari ut, 12 District IX Budapest 1097 Hungary +36 1 455 8300 |
This may be the smallest hotel in the Mercure chain, but it lacks none of their typical comforts. You can expect the same standard of service and quality, though on a somewhat smaller scale. Some of the rooms overlook Gellert Hill, which makes them worth asking for when making a booking. Transport into the centre is easy to get from here and many interesting sights are within easy walking distance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Centrally located budget hostel |
Second Floor Nemet utca, 13 Budapest 1084 Hungary +36 1 303 8302 |
This budget hostel is located in the very heart of the eighth district, within reasonable walking distance (or a short public transport ride) of most of the major sights. The rooms are all either doubles and triples, or have six beds. There is a laundry facility as well as e-mail access. Full kitchen facilities are also available and there is no curfew time.
