THE BEST AREA TO STAY IN BUDAPEST
When working out the best area to stay in Budapest, there are many questions that need answering - Buda or Pest? Quiet or lively? Close to public transport?
Fundamentally, though, you’ll want to stay close to all the action, and that means the inner city districts (more on that below).
Thankfully, Budapest has an exceptional public transport network, a well-connected bike network, and is super walkable (probably the best city in the world to walk in and take it alllll in!), so you’ll have no issues seeing the most popular attractions. Oh, and the scourge of most European cities exists here too - e-scooters - they’re everywhere and make getting around easy.
Here are our favourite areas to stay in Budapest, ranked:
#1 DISTRICT V (INNER CITY) | PEST
Budapest’s District V (Inner City) is located in downtown Pest, straddling the mighty Danube River and is home to many of Budapest’s best hotels. Basically, if you’re in the city for a short trip, and want to be centrally located, District V is where we recommend staying.
Almost all of Budapest’s famous attractions are located in District V, including the St. Stephen’s Basilica, Hungarian Parliament, Chain Bridge, Shoes on the Danube, Vorosmarty Square, the Danube Promenade, Vaci Utca shopping district, and many, many more. Attractions that aren’t located in the district, such as Szechenyi Baths, Fisherman’s Bastion, or Gellert Hill, are just a short walk or a Metro ride away.
It’s also home to some of our favourite restaurants in the city, including Mozata, Qui, Trattoria Pomo D'Oro, TOKIO, and KOLLÁZS, as well as many of Budapest’s best brunch options, including Portobello, Szimply & Kontakt, Double Shot, NOR/MA, Artizan Bakery and more.
The district isn’t known for its nightlife - that’s more for the Jewish Quarter (more on that below), so for the most part, you’ll enjoy a quiet stay in the district.
In short, you’ll probably stay in this district, and that’s a great starting point for many Budapest adventures.
#2 DISTRICT VII (THE JEWISH QUARTER) | PEST
If you’re 35 or under, you’ll want to stay in the heart of the Jewish Quarter (District VII - Erszebetvaros). It’s here where the Ruin Bar phenomenon took hold, and where the resulting gentrification has left an indelible mark on Budapest.
Before, the district was off-limits, and now it’s one of the most popular districts in all of Europe.
We lived here for over two years, so know the district like the back of our hand. There are ridiculously cool ruin bars (Szimpla Kert!), hip cafes and restaurants, hidden cocktail bars, brilliant bakeries and architecture that will blow your mind.
It’s also home to most of Budapest’s hostels and affordable hotels, so it’s perfect for those of you heading to Budapest for a fun weekend with pals.
Just one thing though - if you stay in the Jewish Quarter, please respect the neighbourhood - people live here (including us), and the weekend shenanigans get old pretty quickly. Be quiet, keep the streets clean, and if you need to throw up, at least find a bin.
RELATED | Our complete guide to Budapest’s Jewish Quarter
#3 DISTRICT VIII (JOSZEFVAROS) | PEST
If the Jewish Quarter is where the hip travellers visit, District VIII is where the hipsters of Budapest reside.
Beautiful to a fault, District VIII is home to the city’s former palaces, many of which have been artfully restored into boutique hotels. Best of all, it’s right in downtown Budapest, just a short walk from almost all of the city’s main attractions.
But it’s the vibe of the district that does it for us. There’s just something about Joszefvaros that elevates it above all the others in Budapest.
Maybe it’s the squares filled with students sipping Aperol Spritz, the eclectic vintage stores, underrated restaurants, hidden bars, and off-the-beaten-track attractions? Or maybe it’s just that it isn’t the Jewish Quarter and all its crazy antics.
Whatever the reason, we love this district, and we reckon you will too if you’re looking for an unassuming Budapest district to stay in.

#4 DISTRICT 1 (CASTLE DISTRICT) | BUDA
Almost all of the best hotels in Budapest are in Pest, but if you’re looking to stay in the historical heart of Buda, look no further than the Castle District.
This district is well-heeled, the pretty buildings and exceptional restaurants are testaments to that, and the hotels match - here’s where you’ll find a lot of Budapest’s boutique and luxury hotels.
Make sure you book into Strand 25, Deryne Bistro, Marischka, Pingrumba, and one of our favourite restaurants in Budapest, Bistro 101.
Beyond the restaurants, there’s the best view in Budapest, from Fisherman’s Bastion, the stunning castle, and its world-class views and the wonderful old-town vibe.
#5 DISTRICT VI (TEREZVAROS) | PEST
Another gorgeous district in Pest that demands attention, District VI (Terezvaros) is super underrated in our opinion and makes a fine base for any Budapest adventure.
Home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Andrassy Boulevard, the theatre district of Budapest is also home to famous attractions, excellent restaurants, and some grand hotels.
In many ways, this is one of our favourite Budapest districts. It’s astoundingly beautiful and is centrally located to almost all of Budapest’s best things to do, yet it is quiet and understated.

HOW LONG DO YOU NEED IN BUDAPEST?
If you’re like us, you’ll need about 2.5 years to really scratch the surface of Budapest… BUT we totally understand that most of you aren’t going to pack up and move to Budapest tomorrow.
Jokes aside, we recommend spending at least three nights in Budapest to fully embrace the city and its wonderful things to do. Five nights, however, is the sweet spot - it will allow you to slow down, and really take in the city and all it offers.
What’s more, the city is super affordable for travellers, so it’s definitely worth spending a few more days in the city if you can.
WHERE TO STAY IN BUDAPEST | LUXURY
ANANTARA NEW YORK PALACE BUDAPEST HOTEL
The famous New York Café, on the ground floor of the Anantara New York Palace, has been the place to spot Budapest literati for over 100 years.
So it’s fitting that the 185-room hotel takes you back in time to a Belle Epoque dripping with marble and gold, where polished columns hold up cupolas detailed with frescoes adorning every little nook.
Anantara New York Palace is decadent. That’s obvious just from looking at the façade.
But it’s not dated; the luxury hotel manages to balance contemporary comfort with Budapest’s famous old-world charm.

Tips | Enjoy cake and coffee at the exquisite New York Cafe

KOZMO LUXURY HOTEL SUITES & SPA
Kozmo is an idiosyncratic enigma – in the best way. “Monumental bourgeois” is how the website describes the hotel’s asymmetrical carved-stone-and-pink-brick architecture. Inside, Kozmo’s style blends Budapest charm with sleek interior design.
The 84 rooms and suites are airy and bright, with high ceilings, fashionable furniture and chic design touches befitting the best luxury hotels, Kozmo Luxury Hotel isn’t in the best area to stay in Budapest (the 8th district or VIII kerület), but the proximity to József korut and the 4/6 tram line make exploring the city easy.
THE DETAILS

Tips | Eat at nearby ENSO ramen restaurant
BOOK | Kozmo Luxury Hotel
MYSTERY HOTEL BUDAPEST
One of Budapest’s newest luxury lodgings, the 82-room Mystery Hotel, opened in 2019 near Nyugati international train station in Budapest’s 6th district.
The real attractions here are the Secret Garden Spa, Great Hall Restaurant, and sky bar with sprawling city views. Mystery Hotel is heavily themed around the idea that the building’s 125-year history is shrouded in Freemason mystique.
Some of that mystique is lost in decorations that were just on the wrong side of ostentatious for our tastes, but you might uncover a mystery we missed.
THE DETAILS
Where | District VI, Budapest
Tips | Enjoy a drink at the rooftop bar overlooking Budapest
BOOK | Mystery Hotel
MATILD PALACE
With its iconic uplighting and UNESCO listed architecture, Matild Palace caught our eyes long before we knew it was a luxury hotel.
This 120-room neo-baroque beauty couldn’t be better positioned on the famous Váci utca at the Pest end of Erzsébet bridge. You’re in the heart of the city and a short stroll to Buda. Matild is richly adorned with nods to the city’s history in details like handcrafted parquet floors.
Plus, there’s a Michelin-listed restaurant, “hidden” rooftop bar, and cabaret-themed café.
THE DETAILS
Where | District V (Inner City), Budapest
BOOK | Matild Palace
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL GRESHAM PALACE
With views to the Danube, Chain Bridge and Buda Castle, the Four Seasons (housed in a literal palace) boasts some of the best views in Budapest.
The scenes inside are equally lavish. Even the basic rooms are elegant, and you can only imagine the luxury of the Budapest Royal Suite with a private balcony overlooking the sparkling river and castle beyond.
Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace is everything you want from one of Budapest’s best luxury stays.

Tips | Watch out for celebs - this is the hotel of choice for movie stars in town to film

PARISI UDVAR HOTEL
Even if you don’t stay at Párisi Udvar Hotel, we can recommend taking a stroll through the art nouveau Párisi udvar (Paris passage) while you’re in town.
Párisi Udvar’s rooms land perfectly in the sweet spot between luxury and comfort. There are still hints of the city’s belle epoque heyday in gilded edges and wonderful parquet floors.
But the modern furnishings, curvy architecture and light-filled spaces are welcoming no matter where – or when – you’re travelling from.

WHERE TO STAY IN BUDAPEST | MID-RANGE
HOTEL RUM
Our big tip for Hotel Rum is to reserve at Salt, the Michelin-star restaurant on the ground floor. Do it early because tables book up months in advance.
Now the hotel.
What Hotel Rum misses in facilities (there is no gym or pool), it more than makes up for in character.
Spread over 6 floors in a renovated apartment building, with 38 rum-themed rooms, Rum Hotel is all the things a good mid-range hotel should be. Fun, quirky, cosy and located around the corner from our favourite Budapest brunch spot, Portobello.
THE DETAILS

Tips | Book a meal at Salt, a heavenly Michelin star restaurant
BOOK | Hotel Rum
MAMAISON RESIDENCE IZABELLA
Some of the 38 suites at MaMaison Residence might be ready for a makeover, but they are spacious and comfortable.
The hotel is worthy of a spot in our list of best mid-range hotels in Budapest because its central location in the 6th district puts you close to Széchenyi thermal baths and the designer boutiques lining Andrássy avenue.
MaMaison is ideal for business travellers, with a gym, lush summer terrace, and fully equipped kitchen in every suite.

Where | District VI, Budapest
BOOK | MaMaison Residence
PRESTIGE HOTEL BUDAPEST
Upscale Budapest hotels have a real thing for reviving the early 1900s. Prestige Hotel is no exception, and we’re not mad about it.
You’ll get the posh feeling right away in the airy atrium, all decked out in black, white and tan. It’s a warm and welcoming kind of posh, though, and the feeling carries through to the 85 rooms where homely touches soften the vintage-meets-bourgeois flair.
Prestige also houses one of Budapest’s bests restaurants, the Michelin-starred Costes Downtown.
THE DETAILS
Where | District V (Inner City), Budapest
Tips | Eat at Costes Downtown restaurant for Michelin star quality
BOOK | Prestige Hotel
MAISON BISTRO & HOTEL
Maison Bistro & Hotel is tucked behind Fisherman’s Bastion in Buda. Things are quieter on the other side of the river, evidenced in Maison’s country-home style rooms and suites.
There are only 17 rooms at Maison, so book ahead if you’re keen to stay in one of the best areas in Buda. However, if you miss out on a suite for your stay, we can recommend booking a table at the bistro instead.
THE DETAILS
Where | District I, Budapest
BOOK | Maison Bistro & Hotel
BARCELO BUDAPEST
Jumping back over to Pest, Barceló Budapest is a complete 180° turn from Maison. It’s modern, shiny, sharp-angled, yet still one of the comfiest mid-range hotels in the area.
You can’t get closer to the tourist action than Barceló, on Király street on the border of the 6th and 7th districts.
The 7th, aka the historic Jewish quarter, is one of the best areas to stay in Pest for nightlife, café culture, breakfast places, bars and the famous Dohany Street Synagogue.

Where | District VII (Jewish Quarter), Budapest

WHERE TO STAY IN BUDAPEST | BOUTIQUE HOTELS
HOTEL NOBLE
Just down the street from the magnificent Matild Palace, Hotel Noble stakes its claim as one of Budapest’s best boutique hotels.
There are ghosts (friendly ones) of the 4-star hotel’s former life as a palace in details like clawfoot bathtubs, ornate sconces and eccentric architecture with big windows overlooking the city centre.
In the case of the Deluxe Suite, you get all of those at once.
THE DETAILS
Where | District V (Inner City), Budapest
BOOK | Hotel Noble
MONASTERY BOUTIQUE HOTEL BUDAPEST
It’s not often you get the chance to stay in a 300-year-old Capuchin Abbey, but that’s exactly what Monastery Boutique Hotel offers.
Monastery has a few selling points that might seem ironic for a boutique Budapest hotel, but hear us out.
Firstly, it’s just in front of Buda Castle, one of the best areas to stay in Budapest if you’re looking for calm after a chaotic day exploring. Second, it’s comfortable without being cluttered. Third – and perhaps most important – Rudas thermal bath is less than a 10-minute tram ride away.

BOOK | Monastery Boutique Hotel
HOTEL MEMORIES OLDTOWN
We’ve had a few friends stay at Hotel Memories over the years, and based on their rave reviews, we decided to check it out.
Turns out, they weren’t kidding. Hotel Memories might be the best-looking of the boutique bunch. There’s a ton of character sprinkled through 34 individually designed rooms and sections of the 600-year-old city wall overlooking the wellness centre.
Hot tip: NOR\MA bakery, just around the corner, serves our favourite scandi-inspired cardamom buns and filled croissants, and delicious coffee from local roastery Fekete.

HOTEL COLLECT
This hidden gem feels more like an upscale apartment building than a hotel, from the quintessentially Budapest parquet flooring lining the walls of the lobby bar, to the verdant inner courtyard, to the parquet flooring in many of the rooms. Seriously, Budapesti love their parquet flooring.
Hotel Collect is tucked just off Múzeum korut in the 5th district.
It’s one of the best areas to stay if you want to check out the Hungarian National Museum, trendy Váci street, Great Market Hall, and endless gastronomy options.

STORIES BOUTIQUE HOTEL
As well as quirky-but-somehow-cool design, Stories Hotel is all about “Pleasures”.
Indulgences like a barber salon, bartender service, makeup artist and yoga studio are all available on site. There’s nothing like lounging in your bathrobe while a professional bartender mixes a tasty cocktail.
You can even hire a personal photographer to show you Budapest’s most Instagrammable spots.
But our favourite thing about Stories Hotel is Twenty Six restaurant. It’s one of the city’s trendiest new eateries for good reason. Serious indoor plant goals going on here – oh, and the food is delicious.

THE HIVE HOSTEL
The Hive Hostel cleaned up its act over the last couple of years, adding a roof over the infamous inner courtyard and curtailing the crazy partying (mostly).
The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean, there’s a large communal kitchen, and you’re right in the heart of the famous 7th district on Dob street.
It’s still a party hostel, but now you have the option to sleep. So if you’re here to be social (read: party), The Hive is probably your best bet.

Tips | The party here is non-stop, so if you’re in the city to let loose, do so here
BOOK | The Hive Hostel
MAVERICK CITY LODGE
One of Budapest’s best new hostels, Maverick City Lodge, puts a lot of effort into creating a comfortable home for budget travellers.
It’s a sign the city’s hostel scene is maturing. The dormitory beds are comfy with thick curtains and power outlets, there are large private rooms, and you can help yourself to tea and coffee all day.
All that in the centre of the 7th district, on the same street as the must-visit Szimpla Kert ruin bar.

BOOK | Maverick City Lodge
WOMBAT’S CITY HOSTEL BUDAPEST
Wombats is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2022, and still going strong. As you can expect from the chain, Wombats City Hostel Budapest is a clean, comfortable, no-frills place to rest your weary backpacking bones.
It’s in a great location to see the city. Gozsdu Court is just across the street, you’re a 5-minute walk from all the action in the 7th district, and St Stephen’s Basilica is 10 minutes away.
THE DETAILS
Where | District VII (Jewish Quarter), Budapest
Tips | The culinary and party hotspot of Gozsdu Udvar is just across the road, so head there for good time
BOOK | Wombats City Hostel Budapest
MAVERICK HOSTEL AND ENSUITES
Don’t worry, you’re not seeing double. Maverick’s other hostel in the 5th district earns a spot among the best Budapest hostels alongside its 7th-district sister.
Maverick Hostel & Ensuites is more upscale, as befits its location inside a Hapsburg mansion. Bunk beds are a rare sight, and the hostel regularly runs social events like tours and pálinka tastings.
What’s pálinka, you ask? You’ll have to visit Budapest to find out. Just don’t overdo it, or you might become acquainted with that famous parquet flooring in the Maverick dorms.
THE DETAILS
Where | District V (Inner City), Budapest
BOOK | Maverick Hostel & Ensuites
A&O HOSTEL
Still in the 7th district, though slightly removed from the chaos, a&o hostel on Dob street is an ideal place to stay to soak in Budapest at your own speed.
For an affordable hostel, a&o is refreshingly tasteful. Our only bugbear is that they charge extra for sheets and towels. Towels, fine, we’ve been backpacking enough that we BYO towels – but sheets?
The buffet breakfast is well-priced at 1850 HUF (in 2022), and the staff are happy to help you out with recommendations and tickets.

THE BUDAPEST CARD
The Budapest Card is Hungary’s official city tourism pass.
They’re valid for 72 hours (perfect for a city break!) and give you free public transport, plus free and/or discounted entry to the city’s main highlights, like most of the galleries and museums, for example.
We highly recommend buying the Budapest Card if you plan to do plenty of sightseeing while you’re in town.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BUDAPEST?
Having now lived in Budapest for almost a year, we can safely say the shoulder seasons of May/June and September/October, are the best times to visit the city.
There are a few reasons for this;
#1 Budapest can get reallllllly busy during the peak summer months, so we recommend coming pre/post the peak season!
#2 The weather in the middle of summer can be a little stifling, so spring/autumn is much more comfortable
#3 It’s certainly cheaper to visit the city outside peak periods
#4 Did we mention the crowds in Summer?
WHAT’S THE CURRENCY IN BUDAPEST
Hungary’s an EU member state, so you’d be forgiven for assuming that they use the Euro as their currency.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the case - Hungary continues to use the Hungarian Forint, so you’ll need to keep this in mind when you visit.
For reference, 100 Hungarian Forints is generally equal to about £0.25, or €0.30 - you can check the most up to date exchange rate here.
CASH OR CARD IN BUDAPEST?
After spending 6 weeks living in Vienna, we got very used to always carrying cash - it’s like that city only works in notes and coins! So after moving to Budapest, we expected much the same.
Fortunately, you are able to use your card/Apple Pay and almost every single store, restaurant, bar etc. To save on fees, always select to pay in Hungarian Forint on the machine, as this will save you unnecessary exchange fees.
If you need to get cash out, we suggest only doing this at recognised banks, including OTP, K & H, Erste, Budapest Bank, MKB, Raffheisen etc. These banks don’t charge absurd withdrawal fees or poor exchange rates, designed to thieve from unsuspecting tourists, unlike the ever-popular EuroNet machines you’ll see all around the city.
Quite simply, never, ever use a EuroNet machine in Europe - they’re a scam.
HOW TO GET AROUND BUDAPEST
A lot of the best places to visit in Budapest are located within a short distance from each other in the expansive, and outrageously beautiful inner-city districts - therefore we highly recommend walking while visiting the city.
Alternatively, if you’re short on time, or looking to explore as much of the city as possible, we recommend purchasing a Budapest Card, which provides access to the city’s public transport, discounts on top attractions (including the thermal baths) and free access to 19 of the city’s best museums.
Depending on the length of your stay, the card is available for between 1-5 days. It’s super easy and useful!
Alternatively, there are a heap of e-scooter options, such as Lime and Bird, which are located throughout the city, as well as Bike Sharing from Mol Bubi.
Finally, the city has an extensive and efficient public transport network, which services all of Budapest’s attractions. Tickets are cheap (HUF 350 per ride, HUF 3,000 for 10 ticket packs - or free with the Budapest Card), so we suggest buying a pack of 10 tickets when you arrive, and then using them when needed.
BOOK | Get free public transport with the Budapest Card
HOW TO GET FROM BUDAPEST AIRPORT TO THE CITY CENTRE
When we first arrived in Budapest, we feared it’d be another one of those cities where the only way to get into town was via an expensive taxi or multiple buses.
How wrong we were.
It’s super easy to get from Budapest Airport to the city centre, and we’ve written a guide all about it which you can read here.
The easiest and most affordable option is the 100E, which services Budapest Airport with the city centre (3 separate stops at Kalvin Square, Astoria, and Deak Ferenc Square), and return.
It takes about 45 mins, and costs HUF 2,200 (€6 - tickets purchased outside the Airport, or at Deak Ferenc Square) - a super affordable option for any traveller.
