Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher, Budapest

Budapest, Andrássy út 52, 1062 Hungary (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Not far from a popular public transportation hub, Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher has 121 very comfortable rooms, an excellent breakfast buffet and helpful staff.”

Telegraph review:

“Hotel Oktogon occupies an elegant building, a mansion constructed at the end of the 19th century for a rich brewing magnate. In 2022 it opened as a characterful hotel offering cheerful rooms in a good location at a reasonable price. It doesn’t have a restaurant or pool, but otherwise ticks all the key boxes – elegantly.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

If you’re after a place in Budapest that feels quite posh but still has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher is a solid pick. Housed in the former Haggenmacher Palace on the elegant Andrássy Avenue, it blends its rich neo-Renaissance heritage with funky, modern design.

The building itself, originally built in the 1880s, feels grand yet not intimidating: marble staircases and a beautiful courtyard give it character.

Inside, the 121 rooms are bright and fresh, decked out in cheerful colors that contrast nicely with the classical architecture.

There’s a great range from cozy economy rooms to roomy deluxe ones, and even suites with street views and comfy seating. This hotel has a gym, sauna, relaxing wellness area, and a stylish bar where you can chill in the evenings.

Oh, and the breakfast is buffet-style with plenty of options, including gluten- and lactose-free choices.

The location is a big win: you’re right on Andrássy Avenue, super close to public transport, and just a short walk from top sights like the State Opera or the House of Terror.

Guests love how friendly and helpful the staff are, and they rate the hotel really highly for its cleanliness, service, and overall vibe

A gentle, welcoming and relaxed ‘Grsnd Budapest Hotel’ amazing value for money.

This hotel is fantastic! We truly felt like we had found our very own ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’! From the moment we walked through the door, we entered a world of tranquility with such a relaxed atmosphere and great ambience. The staff were very accommodating and kind. Our train was delayed so we only arrived just before midnight, so I telephoned to check and was told all is fine and not to worry. The breakfast is outstanding and location excellent. We would love to come back.

The style of the property meant we couldn’t open a window, but this wasn’t a problem.

A wonderful hotel, great value for money. Would definitely recommend.

The building is wonderful, the rooms were comfortable, clean and the air conditioning was great. The black out blind was great and high ceilings very impressive. The luggage storage on the lower ground floor was brilliant with large individual lockers.

The only small issue was the face of having to pay for water.

Nice enough

Room was small but space was well organized. Hotel located just off main parts of the city, within (somewhat lengthy) walking distance Hotel offers a variety of supplies- plug converter, night light - that were helpful

No luggage stand available- suitcases were laid out on the floor

A wonderful stay, a very comfortable room. The staff had no problem fulfilling my requests made during the reservation — I received a quiet room on the top floor. An excellent location, a monumental historic building, and on top of that, a sauna!

The bathroom was a bit small, I didn't have a place to put my belongings. The sink was part of the room, not in the bathroom. I did not have a seating area( chair, table) in the room. Still the room was well equipped and nicely decorated, I am just used to more practical settings.

We had a fantastic stay and we would definitely come back.

The building’s interior is absolutely stunning. The rooms were very nicely decorated, with high ceilings, very spacious, very large windows and a comfortable bed. The lobby is beautiful and large. The location is fantastic for exploring the city. And everything is so close by. It lives up to its 4-star rating. The young woman at the front desk was very welcoming and knowledgeable.

Great stay, definitely would come back!

The space, facilities and the staff were great. The bed was very comfortable for me, I have been travelling Europe the past month and it’s one of the best beds. The sauna and wellness facilities were great.

I really liked the property but I think there are a few improvements that can make it even better. The bathroom only has a shampoo and body gel, it would be nice to have a conditioner, and some extra coffee capsules. The gym facility could have an auto air freshener as it did smell when others were using it.

Really lovely stay

The room was a really good size. Black out blinds meant we had a great nights sleep. We liked that key access is required to get past reception - made us feel safe. The front of house staff were lovely. Also gave us some good recommendations of places to eat etc.

On arrival, unfortunately as soon as we got out of our taxi, a homeless man tried to sell us a vape. We understand that this is out of the hotels control, however it was not a good first impression, and maybe a doorman would help in these instances. Everything else was great, and we would definitely return to this hotel.

Friendly reception, clean rooms, high ceilings and central location. Absolutely loved the storage room- its the cleanest and most modern one I have seen.

I missed a kettle in the bedroom but they were happy to give us one upon request. They can also add more toiletries to make it feel less like a budget option.

Beautiful hotel

One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in. Loved the atmosphere and architecture, the bedrooms were very clean, had enough space for luggage and had a place to hang some of our stuff. They had a long length mirror which I sometimes find lacking in hotels, so I appreciated that. They also had a coffee machine as well, with pods provided. The bed and pillows were perfect. All in all we had a very comfortable stay. Would love to stay again.

It wasn’t anything negative but I would have preferred the sink to be inside the bathroom instead of being inside the bedroom. Just never had this set up before so it felt strange.

Prestigious hotel in term of comfort. Beautiful rooms on the Second floor.

I really liked the building and the second room I was given on the second floor. It had the charm of the early 20th century, with high ceilings and even access to a front balcony overlooking a beautiful, elegant avenue. I did have an issue with the first room I was assigned on the first floor. However, the hotel acknowledged my concerns and made a kind gesture to address the situation, which I truly appreciated. This is why I am giving a positive review. The hotel is indeed very beautiful and has a refined, prestigious atmosphere.

The room on the fifth floor was not to my personal taste, mainly due to the large glass ceiling, which I find less comfortable. While some guests may appreciate this feature, others—like myself—might prefer the rooms on the lower floors, which feel warmer and more cosy.
