I would probably ignore U.S. dollars as they are not valuable in Europe any longer. Euros and Sterling are probably equally good so use the price you can buy them for to choose. Always remember that Sterling is a far more powerful currency compared to the Euro.

If your base currency is US Dollar, take that and convert it directly into the Forint. Likewise if your base currency is GBP, convert that directly into the Forint.
When I was in Europe, the best thing that worked was to just use my debit card at ATM's. The cash exchange places ripped me off with huge commissions and often had poor rates. Check with your bank to see what they charge. Most charge a small fee and exchange at the day's published exchange rate.
It has been a while since I was in Budapest, maybe some stores accept the Euro, in which case the Euro will likely have more buying power than the US dollar. A lot of tourist areas do accept other currencies but may not have good exchange rates.
Bottom line: take your base currency. Exchanging dollars to euros and then to forint will only cost more.

Budapest is often identified because the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you intend to see this city you'll need to have a look with hotelbye . Budapest is popular not only for the monuments sending its own 1,000-year-old tradition, but additionally for the relics of others who settled here. Remains from equally Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can still be observed in the city. Budapest has two edges, Buda and Pest, stretching across the banks of the Danube, and they're addressing two different heroes of the city. Suburban Buda and their historic fortress section offer ancient roads and properties, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The vibrant Pest area provides the greatest parliament developing in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, antique shops and café houses.

I think you'd rather use euro since you may even pay with that currency. £ is used ONLY in Britain!

You have it all wrong, your method is going to cost you money during the exchange. Rethink what you want to do, there is a better way already in your wallet...
