Hotel Csaszar in Budapest

The hotel is quite old, which is noticeable throughout, but it is exceptionally clean, the staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. If you are looking for luxury, there are more expensive options available. They don't have their own restaurant, but you can arrange a breakfast that is truly hearty and filling. The rooms are great—it's rare to find a hotel that heats so well in the middle of winter. Considering all aspects, it’s a really great stay. They are also pet-friendly and even offered to clean our room on the second day.
Parking and Transport: The hotel doesn't have its own parking. On-street parking is limited to 3 hours on weekdays. If you arrive by car for a longer stay, I recommend parking in the large underground garage about 1.4 km away (approx. €1/h, card payments accepted). From there, you can take a taxi or a tram (3 stops) to the hotel. We found it best to buy a 72-hour public transport pass, which covers all trams, buses, and the Metro. The system is incredibly well-organized. The tram stop is only 20-30 meters from the hotel, and the bus stop is about 200 meters away on the Danube side. The location is excellent—you can reach the city center on foot in about 10-15 minutes by crossing the bridge.

If you like staying active and keeping up with your training while traveling—like I do—I really recommend this hotel. For only 100 euros per room for four people, you get a free outdoor 50m pool (yes, even in winter, the water is around 24°C), plus a free sauna and breakfast!

You can also go for a beautiful morning run on the nearby island that has a running track and lots of locals out jogging. The loop is about 5 km. And the Hungarian Parliament is only 2 km away, so you can even walk there.

Breakfast is simple but tasty. The rooms are basic, but clean and warm. At first there was a slight bleach smell, but it faded quickly.

The only downside is the parking—there’s no hotel parking, and street parking can be pricey.

Overall, I really loved this place!

If you are visiting Budapest, then this hotel is the best choice. Very convenient location (parking in front of the hotel), clean rooms, warm water in the pool makes the trip enjoyable even in cold weather. Delicious breakfast and most importantly, very attentive, warm and friendly team.

I spent 5 days at the beginning of July. I rented an apartment (224) for 3 adults and 2 children, but I think it could accommodate a larger group. The hotel has an old architecture, but the rooms are spacious, modern furniture and generally clean. The breakfast, although not very varied, was suitable, with a good selection of fresh food. The hotel has 2 swimming pools (Olympic pool) in which I could swim daily. Very kind staff. The hotel is close to bus 9, you can reach most attractions very quickly and you don't need a rental car. There are also less pleasant parts: the noise of the tram that passes by the hotel, but in the evening/night they are quite rare, so it is not really a problem. I appreciated that the air conditioning was on when I arrived and the refrigerator was full of cold water. I got the best price directly from their website. In conclusion, when we return to Budapest, we will stay here again

Great hotel to visit Budapest especially for swimmers. The swimming pool is amazing. There is a Turkish bath and another spa around the corner. Good tram connections with the city and Gellert baths. I love it here and I will definitely come back. Breakfast was also good. Regular guests are swimming and water polo teams from different countries. I did not mind the sound of the tram because I lived in a big city too and I actually like the sound.
