H2 Hotel Budapest
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel building was modern and clean and the staff were very helpful when we needed them. The room itself was quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. The AC in the room worked very well and we all got a good nights sleep. One feature that was a little annoying ...

Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center
Location is unbeatable. Walkable to many places, lots of dinning and shopping near the hotel. Although the hotel is a beautiful old building, there is a section of the hotel that is recently remodeled. Rooms are comfortable and clean. I would certainly recommend.

Elisabeth Downtown Apartments by FirstHost
This was a very nice apartment. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was very noisy however as there was drilling going on. The fridge, was more like a freezer as it froze everything in it. But other than that I would highly recommend it.
