Best Western Hotel Orion - Budapest

Hotel was 7 minute walk to the castle and 7 minute walk to the pest side across chain bridge. Once you crossed the bridge you were in walking distance of all sites. I did not have to use public transportation at all in Budapest. Breakfast was extra, but worth the 8 Euros.

It is a well located hotel with friendly people and great location close to castle and thermal spa. I appreciate small scale of this hotel, as different to most chains.

Hotel security SUKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! They compromise your stay and they don't care about your security!!!! I do not recomend this hotel at al!!!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The only concern was the size of the bathroom and no space to put your clothes while you take the shower.

Nice rooms and clean with friendly staff. Less than a block from the Danube and close to Buda Castle and the Chain Bridge. Some but not many restaurants in the immediate area but 15 minute walk over the Chain Bridge to the Pest side of the city and you will find numerous restaurants. Would return to stay at this hotel.

This was an awesome location. The price was very reasonable and the rooms were very nice. Everything is walking distance. No wifi in the 5th floor, but not a big deal.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is on the Buda side. You just walk across the bridge to get to the Pest side for all the restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. The Buda side is much quieter for your sleeping, since Pest is always on the go! The guy who worked the front desk during the day was fantastic! He is a hard worker and very friendly! We […] had a change of plans arred one night earlier than scheduled. He quickly helped arrange it so that we could get 2 rooms next to each other a night earlier than scheduled. He gave us fantastic suggestions for restaurants!!!! I didn't think the breakfast was worth the price though, since restaurants are very cheap in Hungary. There was meat, cheese, eggs, watermelon, apple's, juice and coffee. I had a great stay here :) Read more

Location on the Buda side was okay, not a bad walk to center but did have to cross the bridge or take a bus. Hotel was very nice. Friendly service. Room was comfortable, bathroom was small with a very good shower.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I really liked this hotel. You are very close to the Elizabeth Bridge to get to Downtown Pest, and you are just a short walk from Buda Castle. The room is big by European standards and I think if you book early enough, it is very affordable. The staff is nice and if you need water or a soda, the mini-bar is relatively cheap.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is located near Castle Hill and in close proximity to the Danube River which is good. However, it is a considerable walking distance to other major attractions and restaurants.

Nothing to complain about...the room was a little tiny but comfortable and clean. Perfect location to walk and visit the cty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was very helpful in our city exploring. The staff also very helpful in anything else we needed. My only concern is that they need to add another English tv channel other than BBC. Also the bathroom is a little too small. Otherwise, the location was wonderful - one block from the Danube River in the Buda side and close to a bridge to the Pest […] side. If we ever went back, I would stay there again. Read more

Nice location, clean and comfortable rooms, friendly English-speaking staff, decent breakfast. Overall a very nice hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is on the Buda side of Budapest, just one block off of the river. It was quiet and comfortable. We did not have breakfast, but it looked and smelled really good. You do have to walk around 3 blocks toward Castle Hill to find the first restaurants on this side of the river, but the walk along the river is beautiful and we always felt safe. We […] ate at Baldaszti's twice because first, we were intrigued by the everything is 4 euro and then we found the food to be gourmet Hungarian. They serve small plates so you can order several things to try. It is one of the first restaurants you come to walking toward Castle Hill. Read more

From our arrival, we were impressed with the staff and service. The tram service is very close and provides excellent transportation or connections to every area of the city. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel staff very helpful helping with communications following a pickpocket issue in the city.

This hotel was great in all respects, but one. When I was there it was unusually hot in Budapest, and the AC struggled to keep the room cool enough. Other than that the hotel was great. The staff was very helpful!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was very accomodating, the breakfast plentiful if simple. The room itself was nothing special, but we hadn't gone to spend our vacation in the hotel. It was only 10 minutes to chain bridge or Fisherman's Bastion and less than that to Margaret's bridge, making it really easy to get around.

Genuine Expedia guest review

well located on the Buda side. Less than 100yds to the Danube. Easy walk to the Pest side of the river. Friendly and attentive staff, nice breakfast. Only real complaint would be the a/c.It was barely able to keep the room tolerable. Would not recommend staying here in warm weather.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice boutique type hotel. Clean and well maintained. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great restaurants close by. Within walking distance of downtown, turkish bathhouses, the citadel, buses and trolleys. A good deal. .

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I'm a single female who doesn't mind walking, so it was perfect. It's located about 2 miles from the Keltic station on the other side of the Elizabeth's bridge. Every day, I saw the river, the bridges, the Gilbert Hill. its' within walking distance of EVERYTHING, including the Szyechi bathhouse and Castles. The breakfast is amazing- fresh eggs, fresh […] juice, tea selection. The staff is so friendly. The rooms are big, tvs, radios, free internet, large bathrooms. Its near a church so there are some bells, but they arent too disruptive. It's close to a trams stops as well, if you don't want to walk. Read more

Clean. Modern. Comfortable. Accomodating Staff. Tea at anytime. Great Breakfast and nice room. They'll make you an egg dish of your choice. Maids were outstanding. Quiet at night. Two trams converge outside. Easy and quick to Pest. (If you are only staying a night or two, you should book in Pest unless its Buda you really want to see.) For the price, […] the amenities and location can't be beat. Read more

The Orion is a small hotel 1 block from the Danube and tram stop and walking distance to the Citadel, Liberty Monument, Taban Church and Museum. The staff is friendly and trilingual (English, German and Hungarian). Rooms are small but clean and modern. Breakfast was GREAT.

Location was excellent for accessing the Buda Palace, museums and Fisherman's Bastion. Easy walking distance to sites in Pest via either the Elizabeth or Chain bridge. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast options; loved the cheese omelets and selection of breads.

Fantastic location if you want to explore the city on foot. Staff very friendly andd helpful.Only downside is there is no bar in which to sit and unwind in the evening after a days walking (but there is a bar just around the corner!)

The only concern is the size of the bathroom.

Great base to explore numerous landmarks! The only thing they could improve is to provide air freshener in the bathroom

Enjoyed a comfortable 4 night stay at Hotel Orion in Budapest. The hotel is comfortable rather than luxurious, but offers comfortable & value for money accommodation close to the city centre. Spotlessly clean & well maintained throughout. Staff are polite & helpful. Location is excellent, next to Elizabeth bridge, with tram & bus stops literally within […] 2 minutes walk. Easy 15 minute walk to the very centre of the city. Would certainly recommend to others looking for value for money central location. Read more

The staff were incredibly helpful and I was particularly impressed with the room considering the excellent price I paid for it. We stayed 4 nights and had no complaints at all. Everything was very clean and, for someone who is usually concerned with the state of bathrooms, I was pleasantly surprised. The location of the hotel is great. We were happy […] to walk most places from the hotel however if we wanted to catch a bus or tram in the evening, the stops were less than a minutes walk away. Read more

Nice hotel with excellent staff

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Unfortunately it is not possible to open the windows. Air-condition is set in winter and summer month to a standard and centrally distributed degree, for me it was too warm and therefore uncomfortable in the night. Would have returned if this issue would not exist.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is beginning to look tired - especially the bathroom. The thingy that opens/closes the plug is loose and the towel rail next to the washbasin is in poor condition (room 41). Breakfast was fine - remember to ask for eggs and bacon to be cooked for you. No noise from outside nor the lift next to the […] room. For most of the time the wifi connection was very poor and slow but was ok on the last evening. Position is fine - you'll pay more to be in the middle of Pest. Read more

Very pleased with my stay here. The room was comfortable, clean and well equipped with items such as a mini bar, free wi-fi, etc. Spotlessly clean throughout the duration of my 4 day stay. The front desk team were exceptionally welcoming and couldn't do enough for their guests. Some have complained that the rooms are small but they are perfect if all […] you require is somewhere to rest up for the night. The hotel is ideally located on the Buda side of the city. Turn left out the hotel door to head up to the Castle. Or turn right out the door to head to the tram stop or walk along the riverside. Be careful of the cycling lane though! A taxi to the airport cost me 4600HUF which is about £17.00 and was good value. Other than that the excellent public transport will get you everywhere you need to go. Or you can walk as I did. Very much enjoyed my stay in Budapest and this hotel was perfect for my needs. Would recommend. Please note that breakfast is generally not included as this seemed to be causing some issue with some guests. Read more

I would recommend this hotel without reservation. It is nicely situated in a quiet street near the Buda end of the Elizabeth Bridge. The staff were very friendly and courteous, the buffet breakfasts most generous and overall value exceptional.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A great hotel in Budapest, in a great location near the Dunabe River. The service I received was friendly and excellent, and the breakfast was very good for the price. Will definitely return in the future and feel refreshed and relaxed after my stay. It is also a short walk from one of the cities spa baths.

Hotel is between the Castle and Gellert Hill, the street it on is a bit run down but the hotel is grand and clean. Its very much a place to stay not a place to live, they are a few restaurants behind it for dinner and drinks
