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

Fabulous

Fabulously grand and memorable interior, very grand. Location is ideal, especially with the metro nearby - easily walkable to main things to see and do.

If being hyper critical our room was a bit small and lacked a proper wardrobe, but was still very nice and well-appointed.

Lovely central hotel in Budapest

Lovely hotel well located in Budapest to allow you to walk to most of the sights. The rooms were warm and comfortable and despite being at the front of the hotel the soundproofing was excellent so we were not disturbed by the road outside at all. Breakfasts were varied and of a good quality.

Overall the staff at the front desk and those at breakfast were excellent. We found it odd that the bar was not open on certain days, and then on one occasion when it was open the staff member was not present and away for so long we gave up and went out instead. Found it odd that one of the front desk staff didn't step in to cover.

Incredible Hotel

We would choose this hotel over & over again. Very clean hotel, really friendly staff & really beautiful interior, including hotel room. Walking distance to all main attractions & hotel is located in a great area. We visited Budapest to celebrate my birthday and the staff at Hotel Oktogon prepared a birthday card, chocolates & prosecco in our room which was really thoughtful. Thank you to all the staff for making this stay a memorable one, which exceeded our expectations!

Fabulous hotel

Amazing hotel close to everything! Staff were very helpful in suggesting activities and practical things like showing us where umbrellas were to take for the day. Breakfast was lovely...can get busy at peak times. Room was spacious and clean.

Only negative was that the bar was closed for 2 nights of our stay which was a shame considering the bad weather but not a huge issue!

Hotel Oktogon provides a taste of luxury at a reasonable cost. It is most certainly a hotel we would rebook whenever bac

The building architecture is outstanding with an amazing entrance hall and lobby. The hotel was extremely comfortable throughout and so clean. The bedroom were extremely spacious and a comfortable temperature. The rooms were serviced daily if wanted. At breakfast there were plenty of options either hot or cold and were delicious (I think I tried most across our stay). The staff were all so friendly and helpful.

The bath towels were a little on the small side and not what you might expect of a hotel of this calibre. Also, the hotel bar did not appear to be open during our stay although a limited bar service may have been available via reception.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable, quiet, and the bed was excellent. The ventilation worked well, which made the room feel fresh throughout our stay. You could set the room temperature you liked. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a wide and varied selection of high-quality options. We would happily stay here again.

A smart, well run hotel in a character building (former mansion). Good breakfast. Very friendly staff. Spotlessly clean. Oktogon is in a great location at the top of Andrassy Street.

It was comfortable, safe and made me feel good.

The location of the hotel is easy to reach by metro and on a busy street. The room was so beautiful with a glass rooftop. It is clean and has a coffee machine. When you ask, you can get tooth brush, slippers etc. The staff at the reception are welcoming and helpful. The historical looking of the building and cool design of the room was awesome. I like the hotel very much and feel comfortable and safe during my stay.
