Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher, Budapest

Budapest, Andrássy út 52, 1062 Hungary (show on map)

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

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.”

Nice ambiance, near the center, restaurants and public transportation. Good service provided.

Perfect location near public transport and great restaurants, right in the heart of the city. The hotel’s grandeur really adds to the experience.I had a small issue with my first room, but the team handled it with genuine care. The new room — and especially the bed — was a big improvement. Their flexibility and kindness truly made the difference.

Quality of the mattresses.

Breakfast was ok, food ran out regular and you was sat waiting particularly the eggs and bacon. Coffee machines were also hit and miss. They need updating.

The stay was great, the staff were very nice. The only thing i would say is that there were less towels than we would ha

The area was nice and the hotel was great. Its near the main street with the more high end luxury brands

The interior was nice and the room was clean (the pillows and beds were really comfortable)

Only little thing to improve: towels could be better (fluffier, more comfortable).

Short but a very sweet stay!

Location location location! This hotel is located on one of the most elegant streets in my opinion and all those Budapest .The inside is very stylish and the front desk service was very helpful. Very nice property at a reasonable price.

The first time we were there, we were in a smaller room. It was nice, but I will say the upgraded room that we got automatically. Second time we stayed was really nice lots of room high ceiling.

I selected this hotel as it looked gorgeous and I wanted access to a gym during my stay. The hotel did not disappoint! It is just as pictured - beautiful! The room was beautiful with lovely view over the rooftops. The staff were very professional and helpful. Everything was to a high standard. The location is excellent - there is easy access to trams, metro and buses and is not far from one of the local train stations so I could very easily get around the city and also out of the city to visit other nearby towns.

Excellent breakfast, which is taken in the courtyard of the hotel. Lovely building inside, with its architecture and decoration. The perfume of the lobby was lovely. Easy location to reach everywhere with bus and metro station, not noisy or disturbing at all despite this closeness.

We stood in the attic room with two separate beds. It could be a bit problem for those who want more space. Was not a problem for me though.

Overall a good hotel

Good place, central location that is near most of the objectives, good public transport connections nearby, good breakfast. I really liked the luggage storage. The room was clean and comfortable.

The oktogon intersection area is not really great. The hotel is on a very busy boulevard. The noise from traffic is quite elevated even during the night. Some slippers would have been nice. The coffee is not good.

I loved staying in your hotel and will certainlly return again. I would recommend it to friends.

I travelled to Budapest with a group from my cultural association in Marbella. I loved the location of the hotel. The historical background of the hotel. I will definitely stay with you again. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. The amenities were excellent and I appreciated the lack of traffic sounds and the blackout blinds.

The rooms could be a little bigger.
