Staying at Helios Pension Hotel was my favorite hotel experiences. The staff gave the best tourist information, even the things to avoid, as there is corruption in Budapest. I am a 9 year Flight Attendant who has stayed at a lot of hotels, therefore I loved having the personal touches and caring staff (unlike most chains ). It really is... more

My friend and I (two ladies of a mature age!!) travelled to Budapest for a sight seeing holiday of 5-6 days and to get the 'feel' of the country. I chose this hotel for both the price and the fact that it was run by a family rather than one of the impersonal large ones in the centre of Budapest.... more

We were looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay, so this quiet place in the suburbs of Budapest was ideal. We were a little worried about being so far from the city centre but it's very easy to get a bus in, a 20min trip (past the castle) and there are night buses too.

This is a very well-run, sparklingly clean pension with beautiful views of the Buda hills. We loved being outside the city because it gave us two vacations in one. After a day of sight seeing in... more

Fantastic little hotel in the Buda Hills. The staff is very attentive and helpful with all details even booking my 3:30AM taxi to the airport! There is a bus stop 2 blocks away that takes you straight into the city center where you can catch a lot of other busses or the great city trams. The breakfast was great every... more
