Top 10 Budapest hotels for budget-conscious travellers, according to The Independent
Posted by Mia Balogh · May 24, 2019

If you want to spend a couple of days in Budapest, you are probably searching for a nice but affordable hotel – The Independent’s compilation might help you in that.

1. Best for café culture: Gerlóczy Rooms de Lux

‘The accommodation is charming and simple, and more akin to private rooms rather than a hotel, but it comes with plenty of period charm with details such as brass taps, cut glass and silk wallpaper. The best thing is just coming downstairs to read the newspaper and sip a coffee in the café’ – they write.

2. Best for an old world experience: Danubius Astoria

If you like good location and also stepping back in time a little bit, the downtown Danubius Astoria Hotel is the best choice for you. ‘The best feature of the Astoria is its classic cafe adorned with chandeliers and clad with mirrored walls. The hotel’s faded grandeur is part of its charm, and you can’t beat its central location’ – The Independent writes.

3. Best for relaxation: Danubius Margitsziget Grand Hotel

Located on Margaret Island between the Pest side and Buda site of the city, this hotel ‘was one of Budapest’s first large hotels, and you’ll still feel the atmosphere of its 19th century past clinging to the style and décor’.

4. Best for the view: Lanchíd 19

With 45 rooms and 3 suites, this design hotel has impressive views – either of the Danube or Buda Castle behind it. It is also beautiful on the inside, with designer rooms and social spaces that are modern, open plan and bright.

5. Best for history: Palazzo Zichy

‘You can still stay in a palace on a budget. This 19th-century mansion, built originally for Count Zichy, has been remodelled to accommodate 80 rooms’ – The Independent writes.

6. Best for nightlife: Soho Hotel

In its 76 rooms and eight suites, ‘bight colours like purples and electric greens dominate the decor, especially in the suites; and although some rooms are on the small side, you get value for your money’ – they highlight.

7. Best for health: Mirage Medic Hotel

This hotel is located at the Heroes’ Square and it looks like a palace. ‘Beyond its downtown location and classical elegance, there is also a traditional Chinese medicine centre on site, specialising in acupuncture, massages and herbal remedies’ – The Independent writes.

8. Best for art lovers: Art’Otel

‘With some 600 paintings by American artist Donald Sultan, the Art’Otel lives up to its promise. There are 165 spacious rooms decorated with abstract lines and patches of bright colour. Most rooms have a spectacular view of the river and the Hungarian Parliament or of Buda Castle. If you’re an art lover, you can request a free guided tour of its art collection or, if you’d prefer to unwind, then head to the sauna or the gym. There is an excellent restaurant on site too’ – they detail in the description.

9. Best for hostels: Lavender Circus

‘The whole experience feels like being wrapped up inside an artist’s sketchbook. Even though Lavender Circus calls itself a hostel, most of the rooms are private double or triple rooms with shared bathrooms, and there is a communal kitchen’ – they add.

10. Best for fashion: Magazine Hotel

Located right next to St Stephen’s Basilica, this small hotel with 12 rooms and four apartments has special attention to contemporary design: each room has a unique style, which creates a perfect ‘Instagram ready’ atmosphere. ;)
