Baltazar Boutique Hotel, Budapest
Expert reviews
“When it opened in 2013, this boutique hotel brought a welcome shot of style to the Castle District; it’s a good option for design lovers who like to avoid the chains.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Budapest.
“The 11-room Baltazar, located in the Castle District, is Budapest’s newest boutique hotel. Rooms are all individual, colorful and decorated with vintage furniture and pops of fun touches. Bathrooms have rain showers and feature handcrafted local limestone.”
“This small hotel of just 11 rooms is owned by the Zsidai family, who have been leading restaurateurs in the city for more than 30 years. As you’d expect, its restaurant is top drawer, and the hotel has a colour, character and attention to design detail that makes it very special.”

Lovely comfortable hotel with excellent staff
Beautiful decorated hotel in a lovely quiet area. The staff were excellent very friendly and helpful . The hotel is extremely comfortable and very relaxing.
The only negative was the price of coffee and drinks in the hotel. It was expensive which was a pity as the outside seating area was lovely and we would have used it more if drinks were more affordable.

A lovely , comfortable , interesting trip
The hotel was small and quirky . Great location near transport but out of the hassle and bustle . Great rooms clean and interesting . The beds were comfortable and super clean . Nice sheets and pillows . The staff were friendly and efficient and we were given a lovely arrival as it was our anniversary . Sonia was really great sorting things out for us . The bus stop is right near the hotel and the bolt taxi app meant getting taxis was easy .
It was all good

Great find Buda
Very chic boutique hotel. Great location for all things Buda. Staff of hotel, bar and restaurant were all friendly. Very short walk to castle. Parked car easily even during holiday.
Was slightly difficult to find only because I was not familiar with the address system.

I recommend it for stays .
Camera: the room has good sound and thermal insulation, it is wide with large windows. Restaurant: good and tasty food on restaurant á la carte. We appreciated the coffee maker and the kettle for tea.
The only non-functional thing was the bluetooth media speaker.

Very enjoyable stay
The hotel decor is unique and fun, very luxurious! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spotless, spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. Good breakfast selection, delicious food at a reasonable price. Location is good for public transport routes.
The bar closes quite early, but there are plenty of other options near by.

Fabulous
The style, the comfortable and spacious rooms.
Extremely limited breakfast for the breakfast included. 2 croissants, a juice and a hot drink, which left me breakfast-less since I do not eat croissants. Unless you pay for something else of course.

Vibrant, perfect hotel in a quieter area
Perfect stay. Loved the location in the quieter area up on Buda Castle. Comfy beds, spacious rooms, nice decor, good aircon and all the facilities you need. Friendly staff.
Some might find it quite cut off and not very accessible (up a hill), but others - like us - might really value this. There are buses up though. No real grocery shops around. Restaurant was okay but pricey - roasted aubergine was lovely though.

Great Boutique Hotel but needs a better bed
The location is a historic neighborhood so it's beautiful. The staff is very friendly. Room is big. Overall beautiful interiors.
Main issue was the uncomfortable Mattress and bedding. We stayed for 3 nights but they didn't renew room coffee pods.

Gorgeous boutique hotel. Great restaurant and bar.

THE best place to stay in Buda - location and views of Pest gives best of both sides of the city.
Excellent location in beautiful historic Buda - super quiet and you can hang out on the western wall with the locals, but just a couple blocks from the more touristed area of historic Buda. Super quiet and beautiful. Great bus that goes right into Pest side is literally across the cobblestone street from the hotel. Just get BudaGo app and you're set. We had a beautiful view from our 4th floor room. Also - the Baltazar Bistro is one of The Best restaurants in Buda. They have a grill that does amazing duck legs and steaks and everything we had there the two nights we ate at their restaurant were fabulous. They also recommended Pest Buda restaurant that is related to theirs - incredible for Hungarian specialties. Also the continental breakfast that was included -croissants and cappuccino and preserves in the morning - were perfect. And weather-permitting you can eat outside with a gorgeous view. Inside dining was beautiful as well a choice of two rooms to sit in.
I didn't want to diminish my rating since I loved it so much and the entire staff were truly so exceptionally nice - but the hot water for showers was a bit unreliable on our 4th floor. When I mentioned it they offered to switch the room but we declined so that's on us (Thank you Daniel!)

Highly recommended, comfortable and fancy choice
Very comfortable, silent and beautiful room with lovely scents. Perfecty clean everywhere. Every detail is well designed and made of precious materials. The staff is lovely and very helpful. Bar has great selection, breakfast is more than enough. Location is very good, you can reach everything easily with public transport, bus stop is opposite.
The restaurant offers correct food but the price-value ratio of wine selection is definitely bad.

Incredible location, very quiet place at night.

By far the best hotel in Buda Castle
The location was great - 5 minutes walk to Fisherman's Bastion, staff was incredible helpful and kind. The beds are super comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Also we we're impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the entire hotel!
The TV didn't had Netflix or Youtube.

In one word: Perfect
I arrived 9am in the morning and they already get my room ready. That is greatly appreciated after a long journey. The location is perfect. A quiet place within couple minutes walk to the fisherman's castle. The room is spacious. The breakfast offer for hotel guest is reasonable and delicious. You have TV, mini bar, a big bottle of complimentary water, curtain, elevator everything that would make your staying comfortable. They have a reception even though not 24h but good enough for luggage storage if necessary.
