H2 Hotel Budapest
Great location. Very modern interior - so if you’re looking for European charm, this isn’t it. Instead it’s a very nice chain style hotel - which was just fine with us.

Aurea Ana Palace by Eurostars Hotel Company
Ideal location in a beautiful building. The bathroom and shower were incredible. We particularly loved the gorgeous armoire with Sisi’s painting. Sadly the hotel seemed fairly empty but we can’t imagine why.
