Budapest, Hungary’s capital, offers a magical atmosphere, one of the best classical concert music experience, colorful night life and must visit baths to its visitors. It is one of the most beautiful capital cities in Europe and called "Paris of The Eastern Europe" thanks to its romantic and historic facade.
Budapest is bisected by the River Danube into two "cities"; the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A 19th-century Chain Bridge connects these two districts which were separate cities until 1873.
Budapest is divided into 23 districts which are numbered using Roman Numerals. Buda contains the most historic part of the city where you can find Buda Castle, Fishermen's Bastion, the Labyrinth and Mathias Church here. Districts I-III, XI-XII, XXII are also in Buda. The east of the Danube River is Peste which has District IV to IX and is the lively hearth of the city.
Let's come to the title question, where to stay in Budapest? If you have budget, the best places to stay in Budapest are hotels in Budavar (near Castle Hill). Outside Castle Hill, you can find more luxurious or middle class hotels in Buda. If you are looking for a budget hotel or hostel, you will need to look at Peste side.
In Budapest, hotels range from 7 Euros per night hostels to 5-star luxury. If you have arrived Budapest by train, you will see many aunties trying to rent you a room in their houses as well as people working for cheap hostels. Instead of picking an accommodation here, we suggest you to book your hotel online.
Budapest hotels can be divided into 3 categories : hotels up to 3 stars (22 - 127 USD price range), 4 star hotels (32 - 252 USD) amd 5 star hotels (90 USD - 328 USD).
The oldest part of Budapest houses the Castle Hill, Buda Castle, The Labyrinth, Mathias Church and Fishermen's Bastion. These are the must see places in the city. But this area is also the most expensive place to stay in Budapest. But if you have the budget, it worth to stay here. For hotels in these area, you can check Budapest hotels near Matthias Church and Budapest Fishermen's Bastion Hotels pages.
Let's now write some Budapest hotel recommendations.
If you are looking for a luxury Budapest hotel, below are some of the best :
Four Seasons Gresham Palace – The hotel is in an Art nouveau building and has one of the best view of Budapest. The rooms are very nicely decorated and everything else is as you would expect from a Four Seasons hotel.
Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge Hotel – This luxury hotel has one of the best hotel locations in Budapest but it is designed more for business travelers than leisure travellers.
If you want a hotel with a good and popular location, here are our recommended hotels :
Palazzo Zichy – Housed in a 19th Century town house, the hotel is located near university and a lot of bars and night clubs.
Boutique Hotel Zara – The hotel is in the center of the city which is closed to vehicle traffic. It is a nice and modern establishment which is a stone throw distance away from Danube.
Brody House – This is the most cool hotel in the city, or at least it is known like that. It is like Soho House of Budapest.
If you are looking for a cheap Budapest hotel, there are a lot of options. We will recommend Molnar, a family hotel in the outskirts of the city.
