 | |  |  | Platanus: Handy for the airport
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
You may not have noticed, but Budapest Airport is one of the few international airports that is completely devoid of a handy hotel. You have to travel quite a distance before you can find a place to rest your head. I had managed to find a very cheap flight to Slovenia but which required an overnight stop in Budapest. I finally opted for the Platanus because it was the second closest hotel to the airport, and also on direct tram and underground lines to the city centre. It had the added advantage of being relatively cheap.
The hotel offers quite a range of services, including hairdresser, massage, conference centre and swimming pool. I used none of these as I arrived late and left early. Room serive is available, but only so long as the restaurant and kitchen were open. They also seemed to close earlier than advertised on quiet nights. The room was comfortable. A TV offered a range of fare, but the sound was lousy! there was a lobby bar downstairs and a reasonably stocked and priced mini-bar in the room. Staff were helpful though, and efficient.
In short a handy place to stay if you need to escape quickly. But no life in the area.
Rack rates are quite high but I got an internet deal for €38. 24 hour reception, bureau de change available.
