Located right in the middle of the Castle District near Mattias church, Hilton Budapest is a five-star hotel that incorporated ruins of the 15th-century church into its architecture. Throughout the hotel you can see Gothic windows from the old church with modern stained-glass windows and outside there are remains of the Gothic church. The hotel has a large lobby with a reception desk and concierge, two restaurants, and a gallery of shops. The executive lounge is on the third floor, but there is no free Internet. Internet is on the first floor in the business center, and it costs €5.5 for 30 minutes.
The room that I got was rather large, with two single beds and a rollaway, a wardrobe with a large mirror, desk with a chair, and an armchair with an ottoman. The room also had a long dresser that stores a TV as well. There is also a minifridge with a coffeemaker and two nightstands. All the furniture is medium-brown wood with small chess-like inlay. The bathroom has a bathtub, sink, hairdryer, mirror, and toilet. The sink in the bathroom looks like granite. The wallpaper and tile have a moiré pattern. And the best part is the view of the Parliament and Danube from the window.
Parking is free on the street in front of the hotel. Entry through the gate into the castle is validated by the hotel. To get step-by-step directions, I emailed hotel and just followed their directions to the hotel. Surprisingly, the M1 road goes directly into the city, so getting in and out of the hotel is rather simple. In the basement there are reconstructed cloisters of the Dominican monastery that was on this spot from the 13th to 15th centuries. The tower on the left of the hotel is the only original part.
The hotel has a free shuttle from the airport, which you need to reserve a day ahead.
