 Situated near the embassies |
Benczur utca, 35 District VI Budapest 1068 Hungary +36 1 342 7970 |
This hotel is situated along the quiet street known as 'Embassy Row' near Hosok tere (Heroes' Square) and City Park. It shares a building and reception desk with Hotel Pedagogous, which is around 10% cheaper. The location is a good one, as it is on a subway and bus line. Many major sights are within a five-minute walk, including two museums, a large park, the zoo, and some great restaurants and cafés. The surrounding area is made up of beautiful decaying mansions, some of which have undergone renovation as well as others which apparently have not been touched in several years.

Arpad fejedelem utja, 94 District III Budapest 1036 Hungary +36 1 436 4100 http://www.corinthia.com |
This hotel is a short way out of the city centre, situated in Obuda, on the Buda side of the river. It has excellent spa pools, which can be used for thermal treatments or just for relaxing. The hotel is very luxurious and is a great place to unwind. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fancy new coffee house |
Szent Istvan korut, 9-11 District V Budapest 1055 Hungary +36 1 312 2362 |
The Europa now occupies the premises used until only recently by a wonderful old cukraszda (café and coffee shop) called Sziget. Although this new coffee house tries its best, it has a hard time recreating the atmosphere of the old place. This coffee house is so bright even poseurs would be excused for wearing shades indoors. It has a slippery marble floor that is continually being swept by young girls. The place is done out in brown wood and olive green recalling a Viennese konditorei. There is also a balcony high above where men in suits sit and from where you can hear Hungarian pop singers wail loudly over the stereo. A cup of Viennese coffee comes with a traditional glass of water and delicious whipped cream and costs 270 ft. Many pensioners still sit around occupying their ex-local, with only a glass of water on the table in front of them. On their pension, they can make it last an hour. The head patissier and café boss Barnabas Ziniel certainly makes some delicious looking cakes including Tiramisu and Black Forest gateau. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Affordable one-star hotel |
Szegedi ut, 27 District XIII Budapest 1135 Hungary +36 1 350 3181 |
This one-star hotel offers accommodation in four-bed rooms. Rates are charged not per person but per room so while it's reasonable as a single, it's an extremely good deal if there are four of you. Located on the Pest side near Arpad hid metro, it's a ten-minute ride into the city centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located beside Heroes' Square |
Dozsa Gyorgy ut, 106 District VI Budapest 1068 Hungary +36 1 269 5300 |
This hotel has a very convenient location. It is within a five-minute walk of two of the city's most well known museums and is right next to the zoo and a huge park (that has hot baths and a castle) as well as the amusement park. Furthermore, many fine restaurants and cafés are also at hand. The hotel is also on the yellow subway line and has numerous bus connections to the centre. Not all rooms are air-conditioned, so in the summer months be sure to check, as otherwise sleeping can get a little uncomfortable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small downtown hotel |
Kadar utca 7 District XIII Budapest 1132 Hungary +36 1 329 3830 |
This small, two-star hotel is in a great location; downtown near the Nyugati train station. It is within easy walking distance of most of the major sights. If you stay here you'll really be in the centre of things downtown. Right nearby is a huge shopping complex, as well as many bars, cafés, clubs and so on. The atmosphere in this area is very alive, very current, and very infectious. In many ways it is the most vibrant area of the city, constantly changing but still somehow staying the same.

Hotel offering apartments |
Benczur utca, 19 District VI Budapest 1068 Hungary +36 1 342 8347 http://www.hotels.hu/radio_inn... |
This hotel is located in the peaceful, tree-filled area near Heroes' Square where most of the consulates are situated. The apartments are spacious and come fitted with kitchens. If you don't want to feel like you're staying in a sterilised hotel, then this might be the place for you - the rooms feel like home very quickly. It is located close to many sights and is on major public transit lines. Review © 2007, Wcities |
