\"A<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know what to expect when I first visited Budapest<\/a>. I thought it would a drab, bland city, owing to its Communist past.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I was wrong.<\/p>\n

Once under the radar, Budapest has been growing in popularity thanks to its affordability and its lively nightlife. The city also has photogenic architecture and layers of interesting history, making it a well-rounded choice for anyone visiting Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been visiting the city for over a decade and always have an amazing time. I love the city so much that, for a couple year, I used to run tours and brought readers to it. <\/p>\n

Naturally, I\u2019ve stayed at countless hotels over the years. Here\u2019s my list of the best hotels in Budapest:<\/p>\n

1. Bohem Art Hotel<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nStaying here feels like you\u2019re staying in an art gallery. This four-star hotel has a very retro design. I especially love the art in the lounge and rooms (there are lots of unique photos and murals). The hotel is right near the river too, as well as the popular V\u00e1ci utca pedestrian shopping street.<\/p>\n

The beds here are comfy and the rooms have plenty of outlets, as well as an electric kettle, AC, minibar, desk, and flatscreen TV. The rooms aren\u2019t huge, but they feature lots of natural light from the large windows. The breakfast is great and has lots of options (including a freshly squeezed orange juice machine) and the showers are super powerful too. Overall, it\u2019s a solid midrange choice in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

2. Matild Palace<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nCentrally located in the popular District V, this luxe five-star hotel looks like a palace. The ornate Belle Epoque complex boasts an expansive breakfast spread, a large gym, a sauna and multiple restaurants. There\u2019s even a nightclub on-site too. It\u2019s a massive property and you\u2019ll feel like royalty staying here.<\/p>\n

The rooms are lavish, blending historic charm with modern design. There are stylish chairs and plush velvet sofas, comfy beds with thick mattresses, and a large bathroom with beautiful tiles. Rooms embrace light and neutral tones and also have AC, flatscreen TVs, desks, and coffee\/tea makers. If you want to splash out, this hotel will not disappoint.<\/p>\n

3. Monastery Boutique Hotel<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nLocated in a 300-year-old abbey, this four-star hotel features original exposed brick and stone walls in many of its rooms (as well as in the restaurant area, which looks really cool). The d\u00e9cor is simple and minimalist, with a relaxing light palette. The breakfast is delicious, featuring fresh pastries, fruit, yoghurt, eggs, veggies, and lots of fresh bread. The hotel is right near Fisherman\u2019s Bastion and Castle Hill too, making it a convenient base for sightseeing.<\/p>\n

The beds here are comfy and the rooms are bright and airy, with lots of natural light. The bathrooms are spacious, with towel warmers and showers with good water pressure. There are desks, electric kettles, and flatscreen TVs in each room too. Overall, it\u2019s an elegant property in a convenient location with a price that won\u2019t break the bank. <\/p>\n

4. Mirage Medic Hotel<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nLocated in District VI on the Pest side of town, this four-star hotel is housed in a massive, regal 19th-century mansion. The rooms may feel a bit dated, but they\u2019re clean, spacious, and the beds are comfortable. Rooms also have a desk, flatscreen TV, and electric kettle and the water pressure in the showers is good too. There\u2019s a simple free breakfast of bread, coffee, and cereals each morning as well. It\u2019s not fancy, but it is included in the price, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n

The hotel also offers holistic healing programs, such as herbal remedies and acupuncture. The main draw, however, is how close this hotel is to Sz\u00e9chenyi, the most popular thermal spa in Budapest. It\u2019s just a short 7-minute walk away. <\/p>\n

5. Vagabond Grand\u2019Or<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nLocated in the Jewish Quarter, this modern apart-hotel features spacious rooms with balconies and kitchens, perfect for families or travelers who want to cook their own meals. There are sofas and flatscreen TVs (with Netflix), a dinner table if you want to eat in, and a washing machine. The rooms have comfy beds and the overall design is stylish but minimal, featuring lots of light tones with splashes of color. The bathrooms aren\u2019t huge, but they are clean and the showers have good water pressure. There\u2019s a simple breakfast offered each morning too (with veg options). Overall, it\u2019s a comfortable, no-frills spot near the must-visit Dohany Street Synagogue.<\/p>\n

6. Anantara NY Palace<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis is an immensely lavish five-star hotel. It has an opulent interior and palatial lobby, featuring massive ornate pillars and a lofty ceiling that looks like it belongs in Versailles. The property has an indoor pool, sauna, steam bath, and large fitness center. I especially love the hotel\u2019s historic 20th-century caf\u00e9 (it\u2019s a gorgeous coffee house). As a guest, you can enjoy an extraordinary breakfast spread here before the caf\u00e9 opens to the public each day. There\u2019s also an elegant bar, which has live piano music and serves excellent drinks. <\/p>\n

The rooms are huge and airy, with lots of dark colors and sleek, stately d\u00e9cor. Each room has super comfy beds, desks and sofas, a minibar, and a flatscreen TV. The bathrooms are also huge, with gorgeous tiles and marble, massive bathtubs, and a separate walk-in shower. You\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a more luxurious hotel in the city.<\/p>\n
