We spent several days here over Christmas and could not have found the hosts more helpful or welcoming. Views from rooms are wonderful, rooms cozy and location great. Owners even supplied us with cold medicine and a takeaway breakfast for an early morning departure. No wonder that the Bellevue has won Trip Advisor top ratings!

We actually visited from August 29, 2011 to September 5, 2011. I forgot to do the review in a timely manner. Judit and Lajos were our hosts and advisors. Their advice made it possible to a have a very enjoyable trip in our short time. I also enjoyed discussing economics and politics with Lajos and Judit, They are both economists and very European in their viewpoint. The B&B is next to the Castle and has quick access to public transportation. They are located next to a building with Raoul Wallenberg name on it. I would recommend the Holocaust Museum, the Parliament Building, the Zoo, the Jewish District with its Synagogues and we spent a lot of time at the Baths. Public transportation is cheap and easy. We bought week long passes and went where we wanted. A powerful moment was our visit to the bronze shoe along the Danube. It is a long walk but well worth it.

After extensive searching, having been in Budapest before, I knew the Bellevue would be for us. The only problem they emailed that they werep fully booked. Our disappointment disappeared two days later when they informed us that they had a cancellation for room 3, the one we hoped Even before arrival their communication and directions, anticipating our travel needs, were both thoughtful and invaluable. On arrival our ample room and balcony provided an even better than anticipated view and the Bellevue exuded cleanliness and a welcoming and open atmosphere.
During our stay the proprietors Judit and Lajos and their son András provided much appreciated directions and well informed advice.

On top of all else it was ideally located on a quiet residential street less that ten minutes uphill to the Fisherman's Bastion and less than 10 minutes downhill to the subway, good restaurants, grocery and bank. The bus back from the center took 10-15 minutes and dropped us off about 5 minutes away.

If we return to Budapest we will be booking here well ahead next time.

We came for just 5 days for a wedding in Hungary and decided to stay at this place. Our local friends kept congratulating us on the choice we made and it truly could not be more amazing. Judit and Lajos are most charming and provided us with custum-tailored advices to the very last minute of our stay. They have interesting stories to tell and loads about secret lovely places that are on or off the tourist trail.
