Cheap Hotels in Budapest

"The window faced the Parliament building directly – what an incredible view! The hotel is right by the Danube River, and it's an easy walk to Fisherman's Bastion. Breakfast was decent with a good variety of options. Definitely worth recommending!"

"Our original booking for a family suite was unavailable, and the hotel insisted that the standard room they gave us was the correct room type. This was completely inconsistent with the pictures from my stay in 2024 and the room type displayed on Ctrip. It wasn't until I showed them photos from my previous stay that they admitted the room type was incorrect. After negotiating with their supervisor, we paid an additional 200 euros per day to upgrade to a larger suite. Aside from the convenient access to New York Café, everything else was really subpar. You can compare pictures one and two with the room type images on Ctrip – consider this a warning!"

"I stayed for 4 nights. The hotel's location is great. It's right in front of the subway station, making it easy to go anywhere, and tram line 23's terminal is right next door, so you can conveniently visit Margaret Island. The Gellért Eastern station being right in front is also a plus. The reason I booked this place was to take a train to Croatia, and having the station nearby was excellent. I requested a room near the elevator when booking, but I was assigned the farthest room diagonally. My request for a change was denied, which made my whole trip inconvenient. It felt like walking from the elevator to my room was farther than walking from the hotel to the subway station. When I asked to store my luggage briefly after check-out because I still had time before my train, I was just told there were lockers over there. It turned out they were paid, and so expensive that I couldn't use them. Generally, the staff felt unfriendly. The food was decent, and the bread was tasty, but the menu was exactly the same for all 4 days, which felt a bit repetitive. Still, I always ate well and heartily, and the restaurant staff were all diligent and efficient. The cleanliness was an issue; the coffee pot and other utensils were covered in dust. I wasn't planning on using them for hygiene reasons anyway, but the dust on the table looked very dirty. There was also a lot of dust on the chairs and floor. Room cleaning is free upon request, so I requested it every day when I went out. On the second day, I left 10 euros on the table and asked for the sheets to be changed and the floor to be thoroughly cleaned, and they did a good job. They do a good job if you ask them to. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay. I had a good rest for 4 nights and 5 days in Budapest!!"

"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. Right behind it is the commercial center Flosmarti Square, and just down from the square is Váci Street, which leads directly to the Central Market. The Parliament Building is only about a 20-minute walk away, so it's incredibly convenient for sightseeing, dining, and shopping. The room features a great wet/dry separation, and the design is very well thought out, with a spacious shower. The hotel's room service is excellent; they even come in every afternoon to turn down the bed, tidy up, and close the curtains to create a perfect sleeping atmosphere. The front desk check-in was a bit frosty. Initially, when we arrived around 1 or 2 PM, they insisted check-in was strictly at 3 PM. However, after asking someone nearby, who might have been a manager, they said we could check in. Overall, it was a pleasant stay."

"This place should really be called an inn or a B&B. The accommodation is split into two independent courtyards. One courtyard houses the front desk and restaurant (pictured in image 1). The room I booked wasn't in that courtyard (pictured in images 5 & 6); the two courtyards are about 50 meters apart. My room itself was nice, but it lacked amenities and atmosphere. The coffee and drink cabinets were empty, and there were no staff around. The room only had two bottles of water and a coffee machine, but no coffee capsules. The hotel's location is excellent, just 400 meters from Fisherman's Bastion, and the 16 bus stops right outside. The hotel service was also great; while breakfast portions were small, the quality was very high. Next time, I'll definitely book a room in the courtyard with the front desk."

"The room was basic and clean with good air conditioning, although it was quite noisy. Also, light from the hallway leaked in under the door, which meant waking up at night when people in the neighboring room returned from their night out. The breakfast was basic and okay, nothing special, especially for someone on a meatless diet. If something ran out, it wasn't necessarily restocked. The area was okay, with quite a few abandoned or abandoned-looking buildings around. It was a short walk to the restaurants in the Jewish Quarter and to the city center. There was no need to buy a public transport day pass or tickets at all. The only time we paid for a ride (taxi) was when we visited the Pál-völgyi cave, which was well worth visiting!"

"Good 1. Location was amazing, i could reach commercial area easily by walking, but it’s a bit far from the parliament, around 20 mins walk 2. Breakfast included, buffet breakfast with normal breakfast choices e.g. scrambled eggs, croissant, etc 3. Was clean and quiet Needs some improvement 1. It was a bit crowded at the lobby when I arrived so had to wait for check in 2. The shape of the room was a bit odd, i don’t if it was only mine but the window was so small to call it as a window"

"On the day of my check-in, when I mentioned my desire for a Chain Bridge view room, the front desk staff at Hotel Clark Budapest - Adults Only kindly upgraded me to the last available one for free. The panoramic view of the Lion Bridge at sunset from the floor-to-ceiling window was absolutely stunning. Our local tour guide also commented on the hotel's excellent location; you can cross the street directly from the hotel's entrance to get onto the Lion Bridge, and it's also very close to Castle Hill. For breakfast, in addition to fruits, cold cuts, and bread, items like coffee, eggs, and waffles are made fresh from the menu. The room was equipped with an electric kettle, and complimentary items included a bottle of the hotel's own brand wine, a bottle of mineral water, and a bottle of sparkling water. The 'good night' chocolate on the bed was a nice touch too. The only minor drawback was the slightly small room size. If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose Hotel Clark Budapest - Adults Only!"

"I had an excellent stay at the Radisson Blu Béke Hotel and would happily stay here again. The hotel is beautiful, with elegant décor, spacious and comfortable rooms, and an excellent location for exploring Budapest. Everything was spotlessly clean, the facilities were excellent, and the breakfast offered a fantastic selection of fresh, high-quality food. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and professional. The only issue during my stay was a misunderstanding regarding breakfast pricing through Trip.com. While the initial handling of the matter could have been better, the General Manager responded promptly, resolved the issue professionally, and ensured my concerns were taken seriously. I was impressed by the way the hotel ultimately handled the situation. Overall, this is an excellent hotel that I would have no hesitation recommending to anyone visiting Budapest, and I look forward to staying here again in the future."

"Conveniently located right by the subway, this hotel is great for business travelers. It has a small balcony, and the room, though a bit compact, was very clean and well-equipped, even with a mini-fridge. My only minor complaint was that the AC couldn't be adjusted and was a bit noisy. The staff were all very friendly, so overall, I had a good experience."
