All you need to know
Deemed “The coolest place to stay in the city…” by Hotel Guru, the Brody house is located opposite the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest. Not too far from the Small Boulevard, the hotel is conveniently centrally situated meaning a quiet, peaceful stay that is still opportunely close to the great sights and attractions in the city. Such attractions include the Károlyi Garden, Great Market Hall, Museum of Applied Arts and St. Stephen’s Basilica. Popular cafés, restaurants and bars are also in the vicinity of the hotel.
The hotel is very welcoming with a family home effect. The high ceilings, solid herringbone parquet flooring and bohemian style décor is one of the many reasons this hotel is so popular with guests. The cozy feeling is enhanced with light streaming in from the huge bay windows. The collection of comfortable sofas and reading chairs look and feel inviting as well. The walls are lined with art created by talented artists.
The accommodations are just are wonderful, arranged around galleried walkways that overlook the central courtyard. Each room is named after an artist with a Brody House connection. Most of these artists used the room as a studio, paying for their stay with works of art. Overall, this hotel is charming and quaint, perfect for a peaceful getaway.

Stylish and super comfortable
Stunning room, access to sitting rooms and well-equipped kitchen much appreciated with a delightfully stylish ambiance. Conveniently situated within easy walking distance of two metro stations and right next door to the Historical Museum. Oh and the bed was super comfortable too!
Some travellers might not appreciate the two flights of stairs up to the bedrooms but for me that was fine

Majestic building, interesting decor in a good way. Spacious throughout the hotel. Excellent cafe/bar, and wonderful staff (particularly Bogi) Bródy House was the highlight of our stay in Budapest.
The cafe/bar closed too early!!

Unique and charming boutique hotel
I loved the unique and intentional designs of each room. Everything was comfortable and very beautiful.
It was surprising to not have more assistance from the staff. There were subtle things like not having someone help us with our bags up the two flights of stairs. We also rarely saw anyone at the front desk.

Would not hesitate to book here again.
Loved the scale of Bródy House with that big staircase and high ceilings. The period details alongside contemporary finishes was just fab. And having our own kitchen/drawing room made for a very comfortable stay.
One small detail - it would have been good to have a speaker for some music.

Our spot when in Budapest
Cool, laid-back shabby chic hotel in an awesome location. Rooms are thoughtfully appointed and there's info on great local restaurants, etc. Would absolutely stay there again!
There was a motion activated light leading into the dressing room & toilet area. The light was far too bright for middle if the night potty trips.

Brody was by far the accommodation highlight of our six week trip around Europe. The room was beautiful, interesting, well-equipped, comfortable and quiet. The staff were lovely and helpful, the cafe on the ground floor was handy and yum, and the hotel is conveniently located for exploring Budapest on foot and/or by metro. We loved the communal area shared by three of the rooms with a kitchen, great mini bars, and laundry facilities. Can't recommend highly enough!
Wouldn't change a thing!

An amazing stay that I don’t mind revisiting. their cafe and bar are also gorgeous and offer a great selection. Overall
I appreciate the staff’s lovely service and the cleaning touch up they do daily. They place water to drink and iron & ironing board without actively asking for it. The fixtures are artsy, quirky but all with modern finish and function.
Just maybe not the best location for transfer but Kalvin Ter station is close by.

A magical hotel in a beautiful location.
The rooms are magical, charming, quirky and extraordinarily large with very high ceilings….a real experience. Staff were very helpful and responsive and the breakfasts delicious.
The spiral staircase to our room presented a challenge but fortunately the staff helped with our bags.

What a stunning place!
It’s so unique, spacious and well maintained. The art, and style is so refreshing. The shower was incredible! I would stay here again and again!
I wish there were an elevator to carry heavy bags

This is hands down the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in. The design is cozy and uniquely bohemian. The rooms I've seen are spacious and equipped with all one needs. The location is very conveniently right between the two main metro lines but in a quiet street. The staff is very helpful and lovely. I look forward to being back.

Among the best hotels we have EVER stayed in!
The Brody House is not your average hotel. It is an art gallery. It is a restaurant/cafe. It is history. It is the ideal location. We found the Brody House to be among the very finest hotels we have EVER stayed in!! Our room was larger than some apartments we've lived in, but with so much class and funky style!
nothing to submit.
