Hotels in Budapest – Indulge in a local pub crawl!

Visit Budapest and take part in an official organised pub crawl. A great way to meet the locals and enjoy the city’s genuine warm hospitality. Arranged pub crawls take in at least four local pubs for a friendly, chaotic night out. But where to crash out afterwards? There are enough hotels in Budapest to suite everyone’s tastes and needs, many of which are very ancient. The brand new Soho Boutique Hotel, however, isn’t! Bang in the centre of Budapest and convenient for both the Eastern and Western railway stations, this stands out amongst Budapest hotels for sheer contemporary elegance and style. What a beauty.

Budapest Hotels – Go pink ‘n’ wrinkly in a thermal spa

Head for the hills above Buda and you’ll find some smashing restaurants serving heartwarming traditional Hungarian food. A few of the hotels in Budapest put on entertainment in the shape of folk music and dance. Traditional costumes are generally fairly peculiar… we wonder what theirs is like? Household name hotels in Budapest include the reassuringly smart Ramada Plaza Hotel, overlooking Margaret Island on the Buda side of Arpad Bridge… go mad and splurge on a refreshing thermal spa session.

Hotels in Budapest –

Some call Budapest the Paris of the East. Which seems a bit silly. Does that make Brighton the Scarborough of the South? Or Frankfurt the Middlesbrough of the middle? Budapest is beyond comparison, unique. The 3 star Hotel Pest is one of the oldest buildings in Terezvaros, on the Danube in an age old district. Hotels in Budapest don’t come much more welcoming than this, a far cry from the impersonal service at a chain hotel. Each room has its own specially made wooden furniture; a different world from English B&Bs’ mishmash of formica and GPlan. Hotels in Budapest aren’t all this convenient either; right near the Opera House, Liszt Ferenc Square, St Stephen's Basilica and Pesti Broadway.

Budapest Holidays - Great Value for Money

Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the capital of bathhouses, smoky bars, museums, roman ruins and art galleries.

The Castle Hill district in Buda on the right bank is district 1. The Central area of Pest on the left bank is district V. Influences are a mixture of cultures and styles left by Hungary’s invaders. The Germans stamped their logic on the straightforward planning city area, be pampered in the low life grandeur of the Turkish baths. Beside the Viennese coffee houses, lie the severe lines of the Socialist architecture , the grace of the Hapsburgs,& the peaceful old Jewish quarter. The Balkan bars make ideal Budapest holiday winter haunts. Boat bars in the summer vibrate with drinking and clubbing.

Flights to Budapest – Visit Buda, pop over the River to Pest

Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and flights to Budapest land you in a city where, as well as their native Hungarian, they speak English well enough to put us to shame.

No effort spared on an imaginative name, obviously! There’s all sorts of cool stuff to do and see there including another ‘biggest’ - the largest medicinal baths in Europe, the Széchenyi Baths. The Hungarians also hold the record for having the world’s most massive parliament building and the 3^rd most enormous church in the EU, the vast and echoing Esztergom Basilica.
