Pest-Buda Bistro & Hotel

Top choice in Castle District


There's a lot to love about this fantastic, 10-room boutique hotel that has opened on the site of Hungary's oldest hotel. Each room is individually designed, with oak floors, excellent bedding and quirky touches: red fridges, designer lamps, contemporary pieces by Hungarian graphic artists. We love the free-standing tubs in the atelier suites. The restaurant and service are terrific.
