A very warm welcome despite lateness of arrival, rooms ready and welcoming. Rooms very good, perhaps one small criticism lack of tea/coffee facilities. Breakfast room very well managed by Larisch(probably wrongly spelt) very clean and adequate food. Would also like to mention this gentleman was extremely helpful with any information we required about the city, transport and where to eat.... more

The Best Western Orion is situated one road back from the danube on the Buda side. It is situated between two bridges and takes about 10 -15 minutes to walk over to the pest side. The Hotel is extremely clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast choice is fine, plenty of it. There are alot of... more

I have stayed in the Hotel Orion several times before and up to now would have agreed completely with the majority of previous reviewers. However, this time the room I had was amazingly noisy – there was a persistent low volume “thrum” from some sort of machinery which rapidly produced a bad headache. This coupled with the noisiest plumbing I... more

Friendly staff, good breakfast, rooms clean and with air con etc. Very good value for money and area fine during the day, but poorly lit and very quiet area at night. Could not recommend for a solo woman traveller. Two excellent restaurants within two minutes of the hotel, everything else quite a walk. more

Hotel was nice, clean and tidy. Service was very good and hotel staff were very friendly. Breaksfast was your average continental breakfast. However, one thing to note is that for about 40 rooms in the hotel there were only about 10 tables in the breakfast room, so if you came down to breakfast when it was busy then you would... more

My husband and I spent three nights at the Orion and had a very positive experience. The staff was exceptionally helpful with suggestions for dinner, breakfast, and getting to the airport when we left. The location is great-right near the Elizabeth bridge- and the rooms were neat and clean . Best Western also managed not to mar the old world... more

I needed a comfortable and well located place to stay for an eight-day visit of Budapest. The Best Western Orion fulfilled my desire. It is near to the castle area as well as to the famous Vaci street. My room was very quiet, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast although quite standard. What I liked best was the wonderful staff, very... more

On "Buda" side of Budapest just below castle in old section of city. Walking distance to either the Chain or Elisabeth bridges. Small, lower budget hotel. Very clean. Included full breakfast to order, great staff and services. We met a couple that stayed just across the river from us on the "Pest" side at the InterContinental and paid approx. $320... more

We booked on the internet for an overnight before a river cruise. We arrived early. Were greeted in immaculate English and booked in immediately. Recommended a lovely restaurant next door. We walked across the bridge in 20 minutes to the shopping area. When we needed one, a taxi appeared in minutes. The driver spoke English and used the meter without... more
