Perfectly located right in the city center and close to the Danube River, Mercure Budapest Korona Hotel is always bustling with guests thanks to its status as a popular rest stop for tour groups and cruise liners. This mid-range hotel is a large property with 421 rooms, and it's divided into two separate buildings which are connected via a glass bridge. There’s an on-site swimming pool and sauna, free Wi-Fi throughout, and the upper-category rooms have the extra perk of having Nespresso machines. But a downside to this hotel is its overall look and feel, which is of a typical cookie-cutter hotel chain. For a hotel with more stylish interiors, travelers could try the La Prima Fashion Hotel, which lives up to its name.

Guests might also want to check out the Marmara Hotel Budapest, which has slightly higher rates but is in the heart of the city center and closer to the river.

The Royal Park Boutique Hotel is a simple, three-pearl property in the developing Erzsebetvaros district. It's virtually opposite Budapest's main Keleti train station and while the out-of-town area is a little gritty, downtown transport connections are great. The 80 rooms have functional, albeit a little tired, designs, but come with flat-screen TVs, safes, and minibars, plus upgraded rooms get Nespresso machines. The downstairs lounge and bar are laid-back, and all rates include a buffet breakfast -- though the small dining space gets crowded and that's the only meal available. Also on the downside, the hotel lacks fitness and meeting facilities. The Regency Suites is more dated but smack-dab in the center.
