Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher, Budapest
Expert reviews
“Not far from a popular public transportation hub, Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher has 121 very comfortable rooms, an excellent breakfast buffet and helpful staff.”
“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.”

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

a place to feel like at home
A true place to feel good from the very first moment. Beautiful rooms, a lovely atmosphere and a cozy bar that invites you to stay. A special thank you to Patricia in the bar, who takes such wonderful care of the guests. Her warmth, communicative nature and genuine love for what she does are truly special and far from self-evident. You immediately feel welcomed, cared for and at ease. I can wholeheartedly recommend this bar and the entire place – with Patricia as its heart and soul.

Location, history of the building, price and service are all excellent.
Our first hotel on our 5 week trip and it really set the bar. Stayed three nights. It’s so close to the metro and all the sites. Walk up the road for twenty minutes and it drops you right where the huge outdoor ice rink is, Christmas markets, a castle, theatres and museums and a walk across the road to the metro and a bus stop all on every corner. The staff were great. The room was so comfy and the service was excellent. The interior of the hotel foyer is incredible and the sauna facility really hit the spot.

Absolutely unforgettable stay! This was my very first solo trip, and I couldn’t have chosen a better hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly safe and comfortable at Hotel Oktogon both inside the hotel and in the surrounding area. The location is perfect: walking distance to everything you want to see, and the metro is literally just a few meters away. The hotel itself is stunning it truly feels like staying in a beautiful museum. The rooms and gym are super clean, modern, and well maintained. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully designed. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the service. The staff were amazing from the reception to housekeeping always kind, helpful, and professional. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with my stay, and Hotel Oktogon played a huge role in making my first solo trip to Budapest such a positive and empowering experience. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers. Will be back!

Beautiful place, very clean, well equipped (we really enjoyed the sauna), friendly personnel and good breakfast. Our room was to the inside and very quiet. The location was perfect for us as it is not in the middle of Budapest‘s tourist parts, but you can still reach everything by foot.

The staff was excellent, the quiet and cleanliness were excellent.
We are a couple, the bed was split and the blankets were suitable for a single person and not a double blanket, so it was less comfortable and suitable, we didn't sleep as well as we wanted

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.
