The historical city Budapest is stuffed with many luxurious hotels for tourists. Many hostels are there which help you cut-short your budget. The hotels given here are incredible. Their charge depends on their star counts. I am not ignoring the hostels. They are also looking pretty. Generally tourists become choosy in picking their accommodation as they have to spend more time in it than traveling outside. It is the truth!

This is a really great round up; thanks for including all budgets. I really like the Katona Apartments, especially because they are soundproofed. After exploring all day it's nice to get back to a nice and relaxing place.

Budapest has such great hotels! I remember a time when I frequently got there on business trips and stayed at the Kempinski - it has such an amazing flair of good old times!

I am actually currently saving up to take my Mum to The Corinthia Hotel Budapest, as we believe we both deserve a bit of luxury and the spa facilities definitely won us over when looking! However I must say I'm pretty impressed by the look of the Katona Apartments!
