Cheap Hotels in Budapest

"My stay here was absolutely terrible. The worst part was when the cleaning staff entered my room without knocking or permission while I was still inside. This was a severe invasion of my privacy and made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. Furthermore, the hotel's service was disappointing. They charged an extra fee for luggage storage, which was not clearly stated during booking. This felt very unreasonable and like a 'hidden charge.' Overall, this hotel has significant issues with basic service standards and customer experience, making it hard to trust. I will not be staying here again and do not recommend it to others."

"Very chaotic and confusing check-in process. Arrived before check-in and got registered, just needed to get my key at check-in time. So far so good. At check-in time I am directed to an iPad terminal to register with with my name and my booking number from the accommodation, not then one on the booking portal, which I've no clue which it is. After me struggling to look-up this number out of countless CRM-emails I received from the Hostel the friendly staff member, looked up my name in the guest list, went back to the receptionist desk to check my check-in amd got my key card to my room. Arrived in the room it didn't matched with the category and pictures I booked. Went back down to the reception, who fixed it. All this took a lot of time and not to mention all the Welcoming and Info-e-mails you receive from Maverick's at any occasion of the ”customer journey” process. To the management and marketing folks there: Keep your check-in process simple. Your visitors are offered to pre-check-in online or at an iPad terminal in the lobby, just to end up queuing again at the reception to identify yourself again, pay the tourist tax or get their key card. It's nonsense. Have a vending machine spitting out the keycard for those cases. Just keep the regular check-in process as anywhere else directly at the reception with showing your passport etc... Stop these insane amount of email at every step of the customer journey, no-one needs this ot also makes it difficult to find one's relevant booking information. Let's come to the positive part. Staff is friendly and helpful. My room was very nice, clean and comfortable, it was a good deal to. Good internet. The kitchen is great, well equipped and a nice place to connect with people. Free coffee and tea, also a water dispenser in the lobby - great! There are many free activities organized by the hostel, we had a wine tasting for free and it was nice to talk to other guest there. Location is central, where you'll find all you need, even mini marts open 24/7. Free locker before and after check-in."

"I traveled with my mom for a day, and we stayed at the hotel for one night. We loved it so much! It’s fancy, clean, and has great service and a nice breakfast. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only mistake I made (don’t do this or you’ll freeze): I turned off the AC because I thought it was cooling the room, but it was actually providing heat. We froze at night because I turned off the heating along with it, and the room got really cold. My advice: don’t turn off the AC just adjust the temperature. I switched off the AC thinking there would be regular central heating/radiators, but the AC was actually the only heating in the room."

"The hotel facilities are a bit old, but very clean. I didn't encounter any unpleasant issues during my stay. The hotel breakfast was great, and the staff were quick to replenish food. The location is excellent, within walking distance to two major attractions: Fisherman's Bastion and Buda Castle. If you walk a bit further, you can see the Parliament Building and Chain Bridge at night. The only downside was that on the last night, the couple next door were, uh, *very* loud, and it sounded quite painful. I'm pretty sure the whole building could hear them..."

"Staffs at reception were very warm, welcome and friendly, always greeted us with smiles whenever we walked in/out. Lady in blonde hair also gave us very good recommendations on things to do in Budapest (big shout out to her). The bed was very comfortable, had a great sleep. However, on our last day there’s some drillings and noises (which was fine since we were leaving). The location was perfect too, lots of restaurants around"

"MP Hostel Budapest was absolutely the most pleasant surprise of my Europe trip! The hostel boasts a prime downtown location, just a 6-minute walk from Blaha Lujza tér metro station. It's surrounded by trendy restaurants, ruin bars, and attractions, making both transportation and nightlife incredibly convenient. While it's a hostel, the rooms are clean and tidy, each with its own private bathroom. The beds are comfortable and offer good privacy, so you won't be disturbed even when sharing a room with others. The front desk service is attentive and thoughtful, available 24/7 to answer questions, and they also offer free luggage storage and city maps. The common areas include a shared kitchen and a bar, perfect for meeting backpackers from all over the world in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I especially want to highlight its excellent value for money; you get the convenience and comfort of a city center location at a low price, which is perfect for budget travelers. Whether you're exploring Budapest's historical sites or experiencing its nightlife, this is an ideal base. Highly recommended for all backpackers! The Budapest Opera House is also highly recommended, and I hope you have a wonderful trip! I wish the hostel great success!"

"I'd call this hotel the best value for money throughout my entire European trip. First off, the location is super convenient, right by the train station – you practically step out and you're there. And the 4-star service is absolutely genuine; the rooms are incredibly spacious, tidy, and clean. The best part is how affordable it is, even cheaper than some 4-star hotels in certain cities back home."

"The hotel is located at a good position in Budapest. It’s quite convenient to reach public transportations and to go to everywhere, but I cannot hear any noise from the outside. The receptors are very friendly. The room is clean and breakfast is also good. Most importantly it is very cheap in Budapest. The disadvantage may be that the furniture and towels are a little bit old."

"Great location, very close to both the subway and train, and right next to attractions like Fisherman's Bastion. The staff were also very nice, ordering takeout was convenient, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!"

"Front desk is super! I needed to see a doctor or get some medication on Good Friday which was a public holiday. The duty manager and front desk staff assisted me with an address for a 24h pharmacy located out of the city centre by train. I managed to get the medication eventually, as well as see the community neighbourhood too on a quiet Friday morning. The room I stayed in faced the Parliament building and morning sun too. It was very warm despite with the AC turned on and lasted even through the nights we stayed. Our request for a fan helped a little to ventilate the room. But this may be just the problem for the room we stayed in. Housekeeping staff is nice and pleasant. The standard of beds made was only average. But perhaps, this was the expected standard for Novotel hotels in Budapest. Other than these, the room view facing the Danube was amazing and the location is near to Castle District. Our stay was pleasant overall."
