Best Hotels in Budapest
Explore Budapest with 1232 hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
Benczur Hotel ★★★
"One of the things I was most looking forward to on my trip to Vienna was a concert in the Golden Hall. It is a dazzling and luxurious space, truly living up to its name as the "Golden Hall." The gleaming gold decorations, intricate carvings, and the sheer beauty of the ceilings and columns—the moment you step inside, you feel as though you’ve wandered into another world where music and art come alive. Then came the classical music, echoing through a hall steeped in history and prestige. The beautiful melodies filled the entire space, allowing me to savor Vienna's artistic culture not just with my eyes, but with my ears and my soul. A luxurious moment where the magnificent setting and elegant music melted into one. If you visit Vienna, the city of music, this is a truly special night you should experience at least once. 🎻✨"
Pest-Buda Design Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel is in a beautiful location, which is both quiet and intimate, and on the other hand, very close to the castle's attractions. The interior is carefully thought out, beautiful and functional. The hotel staff is very friendly and the breakfasts are delicious! I highly recommend an evening walk to the castle plateau."
RES City Residence Hotel Budapest ★★★
"The experience was great; clean and quiet. Located in the city center but not on a main road, it's very quiet and noise-free. Convenient for shopping and subway access. The price was reasonable. The housekeeper was polite and friendly. Highly recommend staying here!"
Prime Stay Budapest ★★★★
"The hotel environment was just okay, and the decor felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a mediocre experience."
MP Hostel Budapest ★
"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!"
Continental Hotel Budapest ★★★★
Elegant city-centre accommodation combines modern suites with a rooftop indoor pool, sauna and spa, conveniently located near Andrássy Avenue and Madách Theatre in Budapest.
Nexto Dormero Hotel Budapest ★★★
"1. Avoid this hotel if you go on business trip. 2. no king bed, just 2 single beds 3. No wifi signal at all at some rooms. 4. Had to change room from floor 5 to floor 1 because of no WiFi. In the evening, WiFi is so weak, cannot open google search engine. 5. Room with city view, just a yard with wall 6. Very thin wall, can hear anyone waking on the corridor in the evening. 6. Room very small 7. Front desk agents (2 female staff) don’t care about client complaint, they don’t give a **** 8. Wall very thin, you can hear people waking on the corridor a"
Duna Garden Hotel ★★★★
"Budapest is truly magnificent and definitely worth a visit. The Duna Garden Hotel is located on the outskirts of the city; since we were driving, having free parking made it manageable, though it might be a bit inconvenient if you are traveling independently. Situated right by the Danube River, the hotel offers a beautiful setting and spacious rooms. Overall, a good stay."
Hotel Rose City ★★★
"Good breakfast. The room is small, but has everything you need. The room was very warm, there was always hot water."

Three Corners Avenue Hotel
"Stayed for a couple of nights. Absolutely loved the hotel; the rooms were spotless and everything felt brand new. The bedding was comfortable. Everything we needed was in the room. Breakfasts were varied, offering both local and European dishes. The location is excellent, close to everything, and very convenient with all the public transport nearby. Highly recommend!"
Courtyard Budapest City Center
"It's okay. A bit old and mediocre. Overall, this hotel is decent. The location is convenient for getting around, but the room facilities are a bit outdated, and the cleanliness is just average. The service attitude is acceptable but not very attentive. The value for money is moderate, and there's room for improvement."
Hotel Erzsébet City Center Budapest, a Member of Radisson Individuals
"Pros ・Having been newly renovated, both the guest rooms and public areas are clean and hygienic. You can expect it to look just like the photos. ・Great location with many restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Cons ・I felt that the bathroom door was a bit difficult to open and close. ・There was a hand wash bottle in the shower and a shampoo bottle at the vanity. I left a note asking housekeeping to swap their locations (since they were fixed in place and we couldn't move them ourselves). Afterward, while the shampoo was moved to the shower, body wash was placed at the vanity, and the hand wash remained in the shower. Lol. I believe that with just a little more attention to detail during cleaning, this would be an even more wonderful hotel."
Island Hostel Budapest
"Terrace is awesome, staff friendly. Vacak the cat is awesome too. This hostel is a great option to spend some time on the island, had a good night sleep and it was clean. Often though staff can be missing from the reception during the stated reception hours, and nearby is more of a party scene with few quality dining options. The 400ft Costa coffee capsules aren't exactly good either, so there is some space for improvement compared to some of the newer hostels in town."
Corinthia Budapest
An 1896 hotel with an Art Deco-style Royal Spa — pool, saunas, thermal treatments, and just two stops on the M1 to the Széchenyi Baths.
Aria Hotel Budapest by Library Hotel Collection
A music-themed boutique hotel just 100m from St. Stephen's Basilica — featuring four wings (classical, opera, jazz, and pop), the High Note rooftop bar, and a spa.
Hilton Budapest
"You get what you pay for. Choosing a river view room offers stunning views of the two most important landmarks. The location is convenient, and the service is excellent. The room's bathroom has great soundproofing, and the bathtub faces the Parliament Building. A bottle of water is provided every night."
Queen's Court Hotel & Residence
"The hotel was impeccable. The option of having a choice of pillows was a wonderful touch. The heated pool and sauna provided a nice break and rest during the holiday."
SWU Magazine Rooms
"The property is located in front of bars and some kind of jewish church, all rooms from number 8 to number 15 are extremely noisy after 8PM. Bathrooms are leaking water and creating electricity hazards, the heaters haven't been cleaned so they also create fire hazard due to the dust and the fact that they are broken and easily can fall on the ground, curtain etc. The property is mainly booked by teenagers so it's noisy, there are drunk kids walking around the hallway at night and make noise polution. The pool on the rooftop is available for the whole residential building, 7 floors at least 10-12 apartmetns on each floor, while the pool itself is 2.5 meters wide and 6 meters long. It's not possible to use it, not it would be pleasant experience. In reality, you get what you pay for - cheap unrealiable and dangerous accommodation. There was issue with the door locks too, few people were trying to enter their rooms when I arrived, they were trying to call reception team but could not reach them. This property is a risk for your health, both mental and physical. For the sake of wellbeing I would avoid booking it again."
Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
Kempinski Hotel by Erzsébet Square, just 350m from the Deák hub (M1/M2/M3) — featuring Nobu and ÉS Bisztró restaurants and a spa complex.
Danubius Hotel Helia
A relaxing riverside retreat featuring a soothing spa, massage room, sauna and fitness room, ideally located near Margaret Island and Budapest’s riverside attractions.
Zoya Luxury Residence
"The room is spacious and well equipped. The hotel's location is convenient for business travelers."
Prestige Hotel Budapest
A boutique hotel housed in a 19th-century city palace — featuring the Michelin-starred Costes Downtown restaurant, rooms with Cavalli furniture, and just a four-minute walk to the Chain Bridge.
Leonardo Hotel Budapest
"Not worth 4 stars, more like 2, and that's being generous."
Anantara New York Palace Budapest - A Leading Hotel of The World
"The absolute best hotel to stay at in Budapest, truly embodying the definition of historic and luxurious. The rooms are spacious, featuring an extra-large bathroom, and the terrace room on the top floor is so chill for catching the breeze and enjoying the night view. Plus, the iconic New York Café is right inside the building, and breakfast is served there too."
Hotel Castle Garden
A peaceful castle hotel combines historic charm with modern comforts, featuring a private spa, sauna and massage room, ideally located in Budapest’s Castle District near Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion.

Hotels Near Top Attractions in Budapest
Discover the charm of Budapest by staying near its iconic landmarks.
Fisherman's Bastion
Pause by the 1902 Neo-Romanesque towers — the seven towers symbolise the seven Hungarian tribes and offer the best panoramic views of the Parliament and the Danube. Buda bank, District I.
Hungarian Parliament Building
Book a hotel near the third-largest parliament building in the world — a 268-metre neo-Gothic palace on the banks of the Danube, especially striking when illuminated at night. Pest embankment, District V.
Széchenyi Chain Bridge
Choose a hotel near the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary (1849) — it connects Belváros to the foot of Buda Castle and stands as a symbol of the unification of Buda and Pest.
Heroes' Square
Book a hotel near the monumental square with the Archangel Gabriel column — from which there is direct access to Városliget Park and the Széchenyi Baths. Pest embankment, Districts VI/XIV.
Matthias Church
Choose a hotel near a jewel of Gothic architecture on Castle Hill — a 13th-century church with a vibrant Zsolnay tiled roof stands just a few steps from Fisherman's Bastion. Buda side, District I.
Liberty Bridge
Book a stay near Liberty Bridge, a sleek modern pedestrian span offering sweeping riverfront vistas and striking illuminated evening light displays.
St. Stephen's Basilica
Stay near Budapest’s 96-metre-tall main cathedral — 364 steps lead up to the dome’s observation deck, offering views across the entire city. Pest side, District V.
Budapest-Keleti Station
Make a stop at Budapest’s main international railway station — it’s where trains from Vienna, Prague, and other European capitals pull in. The M2 metro station is a handy starting point for your city adventure. Pest side, District VIII.
Buda Castle
Book a hotel at the foot of Castle Hill — a former 13th-century royal residence that’s now home to the National Gallery and the History Museum (a UNESCO World Heritage site). Buda side, District I.

Hotels in Budapest: where to stay and what to book
Budapest is two cities with one river between them: Pest has the parliament, the ruin bars and the shopping streets, Buda has the castle hill and the quiet embankments, and the two are fifteen minutes apart by tram or metro. The hotels are cheap for a European capital, so the district matters more than the budget. Below are ten hotels in Budapest, grouped by district, with the star rating, guest score, address and nearest stop for each.
Where to stay in Budapest: four districts, four different trips
Most Budapest hotels are cheap for a European capital, so the district decides the trip more than the budget does. Travelling for a first visit and the sights, book the Belváros; travelling for bars and late nights, book the Jewish Quarter; travelling for the castle and quiet mornings, book Buda; travelling for the thermal baths and nothing else, book Margaret Island.
Area | Best choice | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
Belváros (District V) | First visit, the parliament, the basilica | Ferenciek tere and Deák Ferenc tér 2-4 minutes from the doors |
Jewish Quarter and Keleti | Bars, ruin pubs, the station | Blaha Lujza tér 2-4 minutes; Keleti 1 minute from the IntercityHotel |
Buda | The castle, quiet nights, river views | Batthyány tér 4-13 minutes, depending on which side of the hill |
Margaret Island | Thermal baths, running tracks, no traffic | Árpád híd metro is a 28-minute walk or a short taxi ride |
Belváros: the parliament, the basilica and the cheapest four-stars
The Belváros is the old town of Pest, and it is the sane choice for a first visit: the parliament, St Stephen's Basilica and the Danube embankment are all inside a fifteen-minute walk, with Ferenciek tere and Deák Ferenc tér minutes from the doors. It is also the most expensive district on this page, which is why the boutique two streets back is worth knowing about.
The three sit a long way apart on price: £136, £170 and £414 on the average rate. Gerlóczy is the one to book if the price matters, at a third of the Kempinski for the same district, four minutes from Ferenciek tere. The top of that range buys the square itself, three metro lines at the door and the basilica two streets away; the boutique gives you the same district for a third of the money.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4-star | 9.3/10 | £136 avg | Ferenciek tere 4 min walk | Gerlóczy utca, a quiet side street off the main square | |
4-star | 8.8/10 | £170 avg | Ferenciek tere 4 min walk | Váci utca, on the pedestrian shopping street | |
5-star | 9.6/10 | £414 avg | Deák Ferenc tér 2 min walk | Erzsébet tér, with three metro lines at the door |
Jewish Quarter and Keleti: bars, ruin pubs and the station
The Jewish Quarter is where Budapest goes out: the ruin bars, the courtyards and the restaurants of District VII, with Keleti station a short walk east for anyone arriving by train. It is noisier than the Belváros and cheaper per star, and it books out early in August. The three hotels here are the value end of the city: £110 to £182 on the average rate, against £414 across the river, and all three are inside four minutes of a metro or the station itself.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4-star | 9.1/10 | £110 avg | Keleti pályaudvar 1 min walk | Baross tér, facing the station across the square | |
4-star | 9.3/10 | £182 avg | Blaha Lujza tér 4 min walk | Dohány utca, a block from the great synagogue | |
5-star | 9.2/10 | £566 avg | Blaha Lujza tér 2 min walk | Erzsébet körút, in the New York Palace building |
Buda: the castle, the quiet and the view back
Buda is a different trip: the castle hill, the Fisherman's Bastion, the quiet streets of District I and the embankment at Batthyány tér. Book it for the view and the mornings, and accept that the bars are a tram ride away. Both hotels are within reach of Batthyány tér, the metro and tram interchange on this side, and both sit well below the five-star addresses across the river. Budapest hotels on this bank are the quiet ones: no ruin bars below the window, and the castle walk starts at the door.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4-star | 9.1/10 | £107 avg | Batthyány tér 13 min walk | Apor Péter utca, under the castle walls | |
4-star | 8.9/10 | £159 avg | Batthyány tér 4 min walk | Bem rakpart, facing the water on the Buda bank |
Margaret Island: the baths, the running track and no traffic
Margaret Island sits in the middle of the Danube, and it is the one place in Budapest where the hotel is the trip: two thermal hotels, a running track round the island and no through traffic. It is not a sightseeing base, so book it for a spa break or the last two nights of a longer stay, and plan the crossing into Pest as part of the day. The two hotels share the island, so the choice is the wing and the price rather than the location.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4-star | 9.3/10 | £93 | Árpád híd 28 min walk | The thermal wing of the island's spa complex | |
4-star | 8.9/10 | £106 | Árpád híd 6 min by car | The larger of the two, on the island's northern half |
Before you book: five practical checks
- Expect peak rates during Sziget. The festival takes over the Óbuda island for a week in mid-August and fills the city with it. The same rooms are cheaper in late September.
- What the rate includes. Prices are quoted before taxes and fees, and at the spa hotels it is worth checking whether breakfast and bath access are in the rate or added at the desk.
- Which bank the pin is on. "Budapest" covers both Buda and Pest, and the river between them is a fifteen-minute tram ride. A Buda pin is the wrong booking for a ruin-bar weekend.
- Which station you arrive at. Keleti for the east and the IntercityHotel on Baross tér, Nyugati for the north, Déli for the Buda side. A Déli arrival with a Pest hotel means crossing the river with your bags.
- Where the airport bus drops you. It ends at Deák Ferenc tér, which is Pest; a Buda hotel needs a second leg from there, and that leg is the part people forget.
Arriving in Budapest: from the airport and stations to your hotel
Arriving | Do this | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Ferenc Liszt airport | Shuttle bus to Deák Ferenc tér | Kempinski is two minutes from that square |
Keleti station | Walk out of the station | IntercityHotel is one minute across Baross tér |
Déli station, staying in Buda | Tram or metro to Batthyány tér | Carlton is thirteen minutes from it; Novotel four |
Déli station, staying in Pest | Cross the river first | The Belváros hotels are all on the other bank |
One trap worth naming: Buda and Pest are one city on paper and two different holidays in practice. A castle-view room in Buda is a fifteen-minute tram ride from the ruin bars and a second leg from the airport bus, which is fine if the view is the point and a nuisance if it is not.
※ Room rates, taxes and hotel policies change; confirm the total and the property's own terms before you book.
