 Fisherman's Bastion Reflected in Hilton's Windows by dcwizard If you're looking for a luxury location on Castle Hill, then the Hilton has to be your choice. Built in 1976, the builders of the Hilton incorporated the wall of an old Jewish cloister and enclosed the Gothic remains of an old Dominican church, but in a way that allows the public to visit the church remains. Even the windows are tinted a shade of brown so that when you look at the hotel, it blends in with the surrounding buildings.
Some have lauded the Hilton as an example of seamlessly blending the old with the new, while others criticize it as being obtrusive and even gaudy. I'm undecided, but the location and service are all one expects from the luxury chain.

We stayed at the nH Budapest for 8 nights on a spring break holiday and were more than pleased with the accomodations. The staff was friendly and more than willing to assist us with our daily adventure plans. Our room was very nice, and relatively large (especially for a European hotel). Every night we looked forward to the comforters on the beds and watching various European television stations (although understanding what was being said was a different story). The bathroom came replete with toiletries which was a nice surprise and the shower had an endless supply of hot water and high pressure. Our only complaint about the room is that it was a bit on the warm side but we ended up sleeping with the window open to regulate the temperature a bit. The nH Budapest is approximately 2.5 blocks from the Nyugati palyaudvar Metro station and about 3 blocks from the nearest Tram stop (terminal stop for the 2 & 2A, regular stop for the 4 & 6). If you like to walk the city like we do it was very convenient to the Danube (10 minutes) the Parliament (10-15 minutes) and many small parks, shops, and restaurants.
I would highly recommend making sure that your room reservation includes the breakfast buffet. Ours did and it was the perfect way for us to start our day. By eating the buffet every day we were able to walk around Budapest, skip lunch and treat ourselves to a snack in the afternoon to tide us over until supper. The buffet consisted of both hot and cold foods. We ate our fill of sausage and cheese on bread, salads, fruit, yogurt, pastries, eggs, pancakes, bacon, beans, hot breakfast links, juice, tea, coffee and more. We thought we might tire of the options after a week, but I'm still craving cheese and bread for breakfast! A computer is located in a small room off of the lobby if you need to check your email or other web based information. It was a nice touch to be able to check on things going on at home as we had over 18" of snow in the week we were gone.

 Inside the artwork... more pix in the travelogue! by Djinn76 We couldn't dream of a better accomodation in Budapest; this hotel designed by Donald Sultan is like an Art gallery, you can find art work everywhere, the design itself is something you wouldn't find anywhere else... Simply nothing to say about the comfort, air-conditionning is a must during summertime. This is not one of this ugly "hotel-big-tower" but several smaller house put together... Even more this is ideally located, on the banks of the river danube, opposite the parliament building, close to the buda castle district. One more thing, this hotel looks bloody expensive but if you can get one of their promotions, the prices are easily cut in half!
Be aware there is also a "Bw Hotel Art Hotel" in Budapest, this a totally different hotel but that could cause some confusion for the Taxi or the minibus at the airport if you simply ask for the "Art'Otel"...
