Very friendly host greeted us, both rooms were set up as doubles, when we requested one twin, one double, but htye remedied this very quickly. Hotel is in a good location next to the Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) and Buda tower. They gave us guidance how to travel on the buses as well after we go there. The hotel is also near to other restaurants also. With the weather being so hot as well, it was good to have air conditioning in the hotel as well. We had breakfast at the hotel and the selection was very good.

Would have been useful to know that there was a direct bus from the train station to where the hotel was, so lugging heavy cases up the various steps to get there. But a minor inconvenience.

The location was very quiet and historic. The building interior was modern, warm and comfortable. I loved having a rich breakfast at the cafe outdoors every morning. I had the power breakfast option and there was plenty to choose from. Andras was exceptionally friendly and very helpful, and the other staff were equally professional and personable. The room was above and beyond. The bed was firm and cushions very comfortable. The room had light blocking curtains so you could enjoy daylight and views all around during the day and sleep well at night. There was easy elavator access though I took the stairs. There was a fridge, safe, coffeemaker and hairdryer in the room but no iron. The Bus was easily accessible and frequent but definitely get the pass because the hotel is far from the busy hustle of Pest and walking to and from it can be a bit tiring as its mostly uphill and on cobblestones. Take bus 16 from Deak Ter M. Its the same intersection where bus 100 to and from the airport stops. Its not far from the M2 metro either. In the evening I gravitated away from busy Pest so I tried 3 restaurants in the chain that Balthazar is part of, all in Buda - Balthazar, 21 and Pest-Buda and felt I got excellent service and good food. It felt like I was being taken care of, in a way, by a local. It made the choices easier for someone travelling solo. One last suggestion: abandon the comfort of your room one morning to watch the sunrise at Fisherman's Bastion. This is definitely a perk of being up on the quiet side of Buda. The streets here are always quite and feel perfectly safe. I will gladly come again.

I couldn't figure out the TV or the sound system in the room. By the time I realized this there was noone at reception (the hotel has no night staff). I think having some English language channels on offer and maybe a word or two of explanation and show-and-tell when checking in would be helpful. I tried to stream from my phone to the screen but also - all instructions were in Hungarian so it was an exercise in frustration. There was no cable or netflix on offer. With no book and no way to watch TV the evenings after 22:00 where a bit dull - but the bath was great and I slept alot.

large room with a huge balcony on the top floor, huge bathroom with two sinks, friendly staff. the manager even waived off the charge for alcohol we consumed from the bar. very secluded and quiet location on the Buda Castle hill and yet its only 5 mins from Fisheman's Bastion. there is a bus stop right outside the hotel and can take you to the Pest side.

while we loved the location, some people may not like it as its very quiet and away from restaurants/clubs of Pest side. you will have to go across the river to the other side for more lively scene. this is very much a personal choice.

The breakfasts are great. The staff is friendly. The location is perfect: far from the big city, with a mesmerising view and close to beautiful hill.

The room was very specious and nicely decorated, plus we had a bathtub! However some small things here and there can be improved. For instance, the lights were a bit weird, only 4 modes for all light bulbs in the entire suit. The heated towel rack wasn't working. There were no tea bags offered, while the kettle was there. It's all very tiny things, so 9 out of 10.

What we liked most in this hotel is a staff on hotel reception. Always welcoming you and trying to help each day. And because hotel is very small, they know all the guests. Cleaning was very good, it doesn’t matter which time you are leaving your room, when you will be back, the room is cleaned. For us it looks like they waiting till you left the room and then immediately start cleaning it. Location is very nice also

What can be better is water pressure in the shower. And if you use shower for some time pressure is even lower. Also level of service during breakfast is not very consistent. Some staff is very good and professional, some not very interested in you and you can wait for a long time to order more.

Great little family run hotel in a quiet part of Buda up behind the Fisherman’s Bastion and handy for the 16 bus into Pest. Excellent staff, who are polite, keen to serve and speak English well. Great breakfast that sets you up for the day and a good choice of meals for lunch & dinner too.

The bar is closed by 10pm so if you’re seeking a late night you’ll either have to stay down in Pest or pop around to the one in the Hilton hotel and which is open to non-residents.

It was an enchanting boutique hotel away from the tourist crowd. We loved it!! The Baltazar Team, Ben, Daniel, Peter, Lucy and their colleagues, were outstanding in every way making our stay magical! The food was fabulous - Michelin star quality - the service impeccable! The hotel is within walking distance of all the Castle District attractions. Budapest was the highlight of our visit to six European capitols. Our thanks and gratitude to the all the Baltazar Team.

The BALTAZÁR Boutique Hotel is the place to stay in BudaPest if you want to experience the best of your stay. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the BALTAZÁR team were exemplary. The food we had in the hotel was top class and the team were always very attentive. I do not usually leave reviews for places that i have stayed, but the BALTAZÁR Boutique Hotel, Dániel and the team were up with the best. Thank you and we would definitely stay again.

Excellent location in beautiful historic Buda - super quiet and you can hang out on the western wall with the locals, but just a couple blocks from the more touristed area of historic Buda. Super quiet and beautiful. Great bus that goes right into Pest side is literally across the cobblestone street from the hotel. Just get BudaGo app and you're set. We had a beautiful view from our 4th floor room. Also - the Baltazar Bistro is one of The Best restaurants in Buda. They have a grill that does amazing duck legs and steaks and everything we had there the two nights we ate at their restaurant were fabulous. They also recommended Pest Buda restaurant that is related to theirs - incredible for Hungarian specialties. Also the continental breakfast that was included -croissants and cappuccino and preserves in the morning - were perfect. And weather-permitting you can eat outside with a gorgeous view. Inside dining was beautiful as well a choice of two rooms to sit in.

I didn't want to diminish my rating since I loved it so much and the entire staff were truly so exceptionally nice - but the hot water for showers was a bit unreliable on our 4th floor. When I mentioned it they offered to switch the room but we declined so that's on us (Thank you Daniel!)

Baltazar is a lovely, hip comfortable hotel in the Hilly Buda side of Budapest. Quite a walk from the Metro, but we learned more about the environs. 🙂 /also learned to take the 16 bus which stops 1 minute from hotel! The front desk service was excellent, Daniel in particular. Kind and helpful. Had 1 Lunch and 1 dinner at cafe delicious. Room was lovely, comfortable and designed with artistic thought. Coffee/expresso maker in room. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Could see top of Buda Tower (Mary Magdelene) from our window.
