Hotel Help: A Place for a Vegetarian and a Teetotaler in Budapest

Where: Budapest, Hungary

A reader, Seagem, emailed us with some help in choosing a hotel in Budapest and she gave us a list of things that she is looking to do while there as well as what her budget is.

I've spent hours trying to decide where today...I like the elegance of the modern hotels...like to walk in the old city, but want to spend time in thermal baths so was considering Danubius places....However, room reviews sound so-so...I can spend up to $200 per night, including all taxes...Food not important...I'm vegetarian and don't drink...Want comfortable, safe, elegance (don't need extravagance) to visit this city for the first time...I have 2.5 days..3 nights...thank you...

Well, our very own Tim L. spent some time in Budapest a few months ago and detailed the scene for us here. Back then, he recommended the art'otel budapest by park plaza, a hip hotel with a killer view of the Parliament Building and a restaurant serving "fine dishes" and a cafe/bar with an outdoor terrace. Rooms start at 198 Euros but during off-season, the rates can be cheaper.

Got a Budapest hotel suggestion that fits Seagem's requirements? Let her know by posting your tip below in comments.

    The Danubius hotels are fine, but spas in Europe tend to attract a crowd looking for the "salubrious waters" to cure what ails them rather than pampering attention. So expect the average age in the baths to be, oh, 65 or so. You can get a day pass to the fanciest baths--which are huge--and hang out there all day no matter where you are staying. Vegetarian food is relatively easy to find, though in winter expect lots of pickled items. If elegance is more important than a view, check into the hotels in Pest that are away from the river, near the Opera House and the cathedral. Outside of high season, lots of deals to be found.
