Has anyone been to Hotel Budapest?

Question

Hi, have you been to the cylindrical shaped Hotel Budapest? (address: Szilagyi Erzsebet Fasor 47, Budapest 1026, Hungary) if so how did you find it, and most importantly how do i get there from the airport?? (public transport) I would rather not get a taxi as on a budget!! Big thanks for any help

Answer 1

There are several solutions for airport transfer:
- you can use public transportation but there is no direct line so you will have to switch: take a train (get off at Nyugati Railway station), then a tram (number 4 or 6 and get off at the last stop, Moszkva Square), then another tram or a bus (number 56 and get off when you see the hotel) - it will only cost you around 5 Euro, but I wouldn' reccommend it, as it's not fun carrying your luggage around from one place to the other in the crowd;
- you can take the airport minibus, which is about 10 Euro; it's the cheapest way, perfect if you're not in a hurry (it takes a busload of people to their destinations one by one, and you'll have to wait for your turn - as the hotel is on the Buda side, it might take a while);
- you can take a cab, but make sure it's called Zona Taxi (some companies tend to charge tourists more than the usual fare), they have fix prices and you can get a voucher at the airport for about 16 Euro - sometimes there is a long queue, but if that's okay with you, this is by far the best option;
- you can order a transfer car online (there are many websites, this is one of the cheapest: http://www.budapesthotelstart.com/airport-transfer.en.php) - for 23 Euro a driver waits for you with a sign when the plane lands and takes you to the hotel with your own private car.
Also: it's not true that Hungarians don't speak English, the younger generation does, so if you get lost, don't be afraid to ask for directions. Oh and: they DO NOT use the cyrillic alphabet in Hungary! :)

Answer 2

Hey,

I've never been in this hotel but I think I can give you some tips:
Firstly, I think the best for you is to take a taxi, it costs a lot less than in the rest of Europ. When I've been in BUdapest, i was positively surprised by the cost of life. For example i'am student and I had 450 euros (=500 usd) for a week, it was the salary of a simple employee for a month... So, the best for you is to hire a taxi because the alphabet is a lot different from our, I think you couldn't reperate yourself simply because you couldn't read anything if you take a bus or a tram except if you know the cyrillic alphabet...

Try the thermal area in the Gellert Hotel, really nice you can have massages and relaxing baths

Enjoy your trip

Answer 3

E-mail the hotel and ask them to send a car to pick you up, and arrange a good price for this. It's much easier, because I found when I was in Budapest nearly 2 years ago that not many people speak English ....

Or go to the hotel website and look for directions to get there. Or e-mail the hotel and ask them which is the nearest metro station and how to get there from the airport.

The Adina Apartment Hotel is situated in the heart of Budapest, a few steps from the Danube river and from the main entertainment and tourist venues of the city. The hotel features comfortable apartments and large superior double rooms that can host up to 2 people and offer all the necessary equipment for a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Answer 6

Never been there but I drive past it a lot. It always looks busy. if you are on a budget the Airport Mini Bus Service is quite a cheap and easy way to get there.

Answer 7

my cousin had her wedding ceremony there:)
quite cool i think, in the heart of the buda part, nice location.
public transport from the airport s****:) but i think they have recently a train line also.
maybe you should take the airport minibus, that's like 16 euro i think, it takes many people, but sometimes just you, so it is maybe the smartest option.
be careful with taxi drivers..they might want to cheat on you!
and have fun in BP
