We had an amazing time the in Four Seasons Gresham Palace. The room was lovely and the bathroom was very luxurious. The hotel staff were all fluent in English and were only too happy to help with whatever we needed, for example, booking taxis for us, offering us robes & towels to take to the Turkish Baths. The Spa at the hotel was lovely and clean and although the pool was only small (two lanes) we often had it all to ourselves.

Can't really find any faults with the hotel, with the exception of the breakfast scrambled eggs, but every hotel in Budapest cooks them the same horrible way, so what are you going to do.
Place is quiet, incredibly clean, has comfy beds, and the aircon works. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite, and you're on the doorstep of a restaurant serving the best fillet steak you're ever going to have.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Budapest
Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Budapest is from January to March, when hotel prices are generally lower. To fully appreciate the city's remarkable landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. During this time, you can explore various monuments, museums, cathedrals, and churches, as well as enjoy entertainment options, shopping experiences, and the grandeur of the castle and theatres. This makes for a budget-friendly getaway that offers great value for money while soaking in the rich cultural heritage of Budapest.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Budapest, begin by exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Dealsopens in new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special offers, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shoppingopens in new window tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. If preferred rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to be the first to know, facilitating a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you find a better deal on your stay in a Budapest hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially greater value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. Should the price be on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, assisting you in your search for a good value.
Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer to major attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with a steeper price tag. For more budget-friendly options, you might consider hotels located in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You could also look into independent hotels situated a bit further out, as they are usually more likely to be affordable and may offer a more authentic experience.
