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.”

A lovely boutique hotel close to Buda castle
I am a regular guest at hotel Balthazar, I very much enjoy its location on Buda castle hill and the quietness of the place, the view on Pest. The room decoration is refined and the equipment is 5 stars really. I hope to be back in September again ! ;-)))

Very nice and charming hotel
We had a delightful stay at this hotel. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The location was very central and close to all the major attractions. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
Parking situation could be a bit difficult depending on arrival time.

Beautiful Hotel in a lovely location.
large room with a huge balcony on the top floor, huge bathroom with two sinks, friendly staff. the manager even waived off the charge for alcohol we consumed from the bar. very secluded and quiet location on the Buda Castle hill and yet its only 5 mins from Fisheman's Bastion. there is a bus stop right outside the hotel and can take you to the Pest side.
while we loved the location, some people may not like it as its very quiet and away from restaurants/clubs of Pest side. you will have to go across the river to the other side for more lively scene. this is very much a personal choice.

Superb hotel in a great location.
The BALTAZÁR Boutique Hotel is the place to stay in BudaPest if you want to experience the best of your stay. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the BALTAZÁR team were exemplary. The food we had in the hotel was top class and the team were always very attentive. I do not usually leave reviews for places that i have stayed, but the BALTAZÁR Boutique Hotel, Dániel and the team were up with the best. Thank you and we would definitely stay again.

Great hotel, with cool vibes and superb rooms
Quirky, cool hotel. Fabulous rooms, comfortable furnishings. Amazing location for exploring the Buda side … Staff very attentive at all times. Excellent breakfast. Pretty courtyard area.
Bar could stay open longer into the late evening. Would have returned most evenings and had a drink in the pretty outside courtyard but bar closed ! Great pity !

Perfect relaxed stay at Baltazar Hotel!
The breakfast was very good - just one "meal" was included in the price but it was totally enough and very good. All hot drinks and fresh juices as much as you want, were included also in the breakfast, that was served outside in the sun. The hotel is located in a very calm and beautiful area of Budapest. A bus station is just one minute from the hotel and the bus brings you in 10/15 minutes to the center. You also can go by foot if you want.

Fabulous
This is a really nice boutique hotel at a fantastic location in the castle district. The room was wonderful: It was big and super clean. The rain shower was really nice and the beds super comfortable. Breakfast was delicious as well!
Just one minor thing and that is that it was not really clear what was included in the breakfast.

Baltazar Boutique Hotel in Budapest j
Our stay was wonderful - Andras greeted us like long lost friends and all the staff were friendly and so helpful with any queries we had. A totally wonderful experience in a unique hotel in a truly enchanting city.
There was nothing we didn't like

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff
Breakfast was delicious lots of choice and high standard Hotel was in the middle of the historic area , very close to all the Fisherman’s Bastion and Castle. The Pest side of the city has more shops and restaurants, much livelier and opens later, you can walk to this or take the bus.
Everything was amazing, however the only small issue is there is no bar in the hotel open after 8pm. This may have been because it was March

Cozy and warm place
Everything was great - cozy room and lights, comfortable bed, big window. Really appreciate music device, coffe/tea in the room. The hotel has a central location (close to Buda castle and Fishermans bastion). Nevertheless, it was very quiet.
Everything was great

Great Boutique Hotel!
The hotel is really charming, nicely appointed, clean and quiet. We at breakfasts as well as a couple of dinners in the attached restaurant. Food is great. This area is very walkable, but there’s also a bus stop conveniently located out front where smaller tram-like buses stop every few minutes. The staff were all very warm, gracious and helpful.

Just perfect!!!
The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and the rooms and decoration of the hotel simply beautiful, all in all perfect!
Reception is closed at night, that makes it a bit more complicated but everything worked put fine, staff makes it up being so friendly.

Very comfortable stay
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Loved the location, we could walk up to the castle in the late evening too.
We are vegetarian, and there was not much in the restaurant menu so we could not eat anything in the hotel.

Really liked the decor, coziness & friendliness of the staff. Always helpful and responsive. Gorgeou
Breakfast was good but had to wait a long time to be served & we were the only ones in the restaurant. We knew the menu so didn’t need time to choose every morning.
Speed of service in restaurant. Lighting in bedroom was very poor. It was very cosy and attractive but not much use when trying to get ready to go out at night. (Eg for doing make-up, hair, or even packing. Needed to wait for daylight to pack).

Fabulous
What we liked most in this hotel is a staff on hotel reception. Always welcoming you and trying to help each day. And because hotel is very small, they know all the guests. Cleaning was very good, it doesn’t matter which time you are leaving your room, when you will be back, the room is cleaned. For us it looks like they waiting till you left the room and then immediately start cleaning it. Location is very nice also
What can be better is water pressure in the shower. And if you use shower for some time pressure is even lower. Also level of service during breakfast is not very consistent. Some staff is very good and professional, some not very interested in you and you can wait for a long time to order more.

Perfect! Would stay again.
Baltazar is a lovely, hip comfortable hotel in the Hilly Buda side of Budapest. Quite a walk from the Metro, but we learned more about the environs. 🙂 /also learned to take the 16 bus which stops 1 minute from hotel! The front desk service was excellent, Daniel in particular. Kind and helpful. Had 1 Lunch and 1 dinner at cafe delicious. Room was lovely, comfortable and designed with artistic thought. Coffee/expresso maker in room. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Could see top of Buda Tower (Mary Magdelene) from our window.

Exceptional
Convenient location to things walking wise, short taxi rides to other tourist destinations. The hotel staff also recommended fun, tourist attractions.
The only thing I did not like was on checkout day the front desk employee was running late to assist us with check out, which had us rushing to the airport (40 min cab ride from hotel).

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.
