Budapest Travel Forum

Hi all,

I hope you can help. I am taking my girlfriend to Budapest for 1 week in September and I need some advice on hotels.

We are both in our early 20's so we are looking for a hotel close to bars/nightlife and local attractions.

I am looking into a few hotels:
Hotel Kalvin
Novotel Budapest Centrum
Hotel Ambra

Would you recommend any of these?

Any other hotel advice that you can give would be appreciated, I would like to spend max €100 per night.

Thanks in advance.

hi
i just came back from Budapest.
I stayed 5 nights in Mercure Korona on Kelvin square.

Great location - in front of the national museum - 5 minutes walking from Vaci Utca and the central market hall and 10 minutes from the Danube.

You have a metro line below the hotel.

If you want a good restaurant area it is 5 minutes from the hotel on Raday street.

I hope i helped you - feel free to contact me.

We've just returned from Budapest and stayed at the Cotton House, which is within your budget. It was handy for everything, buses, tourist day-trippers and nightlife. Although an older hotel, it has a lot of character and a fantastic cellar restaurant. Look it up!!!

Hi
I have found a very cheap hotel in the city centre. It's an excellent hotel. Check out its video : http://uk.video.yahoo.com/watch/3049615/8703000

Hello.

Being local person I haven't stay in these hotels, but: they ara all in good location, whichever you choose.
Then only one which I would not recommend is Easy hotel. Nothing wrong with it, nice location, low prices, but this is for those who want to travel on a very low budget, and not for a romantic stay. Very small rooms, no furniture, (except bed of course), it is like a clean box.

Cotton house seems to be a nice place, Novotel and Amra are also nice but modern.

Any of them would be good choice except Easy.

For cheaper accomodation try this one

It is not far from Opera House on Andrássy avenue, just in walking distance from a lot of sightseeings of Pest side. Very good location for decent price.

I was visiting Budapest the past month. I can suggest you Art'otel. It is in the Riverfront, Budaside, it is small, boutique, free internet (in thwe bussiness ctr, comfortable, 2 blocks from the Chain Bridge, 1 block from Bethanny Ter metro station. I think It was a great deal for me.
