Right in the heart of Budapest’s District VI, 12 Revay Hotel is a sleek, modern three-star spot that opened its doors in September 2015. It sits just 50 meters from the Hungarian State Opera House and St. Stephen’s Basilica, making it a dream baseline for exploring the city on foot.
While the hotel boasts a crisp, contemporary style with 53 rooms, its most unique structural quirk is arguably on the top floor. Here, you’ll find three exclusive apartments that treat guests to breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Basilica’s grand dome, a perspective most standard city hotels can’t match.
The building also hides a pretty unusual feature for a holiday stay: it houses an active, full-service dental clinic right inside. It’s a nod to Budapest’s massive reputation as a European hub for dental tourism, meaning you can get a check-up and a city break all under one roof.
After a long day of sightseeing, the hotel keeps things easy with a relaxed, quiet breakfast space designed to minimize morning noise, alongside a lobby bar that stays open 24/7 for late-night nightcaps.
Expert reviews
“Guests looking for excellent yet affordable views of St. Stephen’s Basilica can book one of three rooftop suites at 12 Revay Hotel, or chose one of the 53 smaller rooms at the hotel, which opened in 2015.”

Amazing! Would stay here again!
The location was incredible! Sandwiched in between the St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Hungarian State Opera House! It could not have been better! I was able to walk everywhere and see all the major sites conveniently.
I loved everything! The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was incredible!

Comfort, Cleanliness, and Delicious Macaroons!
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was spotless and very well maintained — from the lobby to the room, cleanliness was clearly a top priority. The room was comfortable, fresh, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. What made the experience even more special was the thoughtful birthday surprise — they gifted me delicious macaroons, which was such a sweet and unexpected touch. It really made me feel valued as a guest.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay!

I’d definitely book it again!
It was beautiful, warm, cosy and had a lovely huge bed.
The floor was a bit dirty/dusty, I had to wear socks the whole time and take them off before getting in bed to keep my feet clean.

Perfectly located hotel with basic comfort
This hotel has a perfect location: near St.Istvan Basilica, Opera Theatre and big transport hub - Dear Ferenc Ter. The room was quite small, but it had all necessary amenities including electric kettle.
When our room was cleaned, the cleaning ladies did not give us more tea and coffee. And the cleaning itself was not perfect.

Perfect stay for Budapest center.
Historic building, big rooms, comfortable bed, big bathroom. Good breakfast with various options. We stayed on the 4th floor, with beautiful ceiling windows.
A little noisy from the hallway, but it was ok. Unfortunately no parking near the hotel, but the hotel staff offered various options nearby.

A perfect place to explore this beautiful city, especially at Christmas market time as it’s such an ideal location.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice to suit all tastes. The hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Budapest as everything is close by and in easy walking distance. Perfect place to stay for exploring the Christmas markets as it’s so close to St. Stephen’s Basilica and feels very safe at night.
It’s a shame our room had an indoor courtyard view but it didn’t really matter. It meant it was nice and quiet.

A very central location.
Although many rooms were filled, the room was well insulated from noise. Hotel guests were respectful. The hotel is in a very central location, close to transport and easy access to attractions. The hotel provided a continental breakfast with a variety of choices. The hotel staff were very professional and friendly.
No complaints

Ideal hotel for a short stay in the city centre
It has a 24-hour reception desk so is convenient for late-arriving flights.
The hotel is a short walk from Deák Ferenc Square where the 100E airport bus terminates.

Central location, clean room, modern styled.

good price/quality balance
Very calm even with air conditioner operating.
Smoke detector above the bed blinks every 5 seconds, very annoying when all lights are off and you are on the bed with eyes open.
When air conditioner was turned off, there was a little bad smell coming from the ventilation opening.

Excellent, would thoroughly recommend
Had a superior double room. Very spacious, very comfortable, huge comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean as was the ensuite bathroom which had a drench shower head in the cubicle as well as an ordinary one.
There was plenty on offer at breakfast and it was regularly replenished. Although one criticism would be the hot food on offer (eggs, sausages, beans etc, could have been kept a little warmer.

Perfect location, great hotel, value for money
Great location, walking distance to everything. Very nice, clean and modern hotel as well as room. The room was spacious, and the bed was kingsize. Nice staff in the reception. Can definitely recommend the hotel!
Breakfast was very plain - I wouldn't pay extra for this, but instead go out and have breakfast in a café. The bed was a bit too hard for me - but obviously, this is a very individual matter.
