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

Great experience, would choose to stay again

The hotel building was impressive, the room was beautiful, the cleanliness level was great, the stuff was polite and helpful.

The room size was rather small.

Excellent base to explore Budapest

The bed was so comfortable and the bedroom was a good size. The interior of the hotel was beautiful and a lovely space to have breakfast in. I was impressed at the special table for gluten free bread and cake options for breakfast. The hotel location was perfect for getting the metro and the tram. The reception staff couldn't have been more helpful. They were so friendly.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that there were no coffee sachets or pods in the room - just tea and a nespresso machine presumably to boil the water. It didn't bother us not having a coffee in the room as we just went to breakfast to have it. But maybe others would want a early coffee in the room

Beautiful place, centrally located, close to metro station.

Poor breakfast service, no plates, no cutlery, no glasses, no cups, you had to wait and wait until clean stuff were put on the buffet.

A lovely, four-star hotel!

I loved the onsite sauna and lounging area! And the room was spacy and comfortable.

It would have been good if the sauna didn't shut off between 12 and 4pm. Perfect time for saunaing in winter!

​"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. My room was spotless, spacious, and the hotel's location was absolutely perfect for exploring the area. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable vacation.

​"The room was quite small and felt very cramped. It was difficult to move around comfortably or find enough space for my luggage."

Would recommend, but the breakfast whilst diverse needed a tweak to make it as good as if have expected.

Loved the atrium - a beautiful hotel entrance and it had great health club facilities. Room was a touch small but black out blinds were a useful feature.

Some of the breakfast items were cold (baked beans, hashed browns etc.) if you didn’t get down to breakfast early.

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!
