Budapest: Cheap Lodging

Lodging in Budapest runs the gamut from hostels to beautiful historic hotels to self-
catering apartments.  Our choice is hostels as most are centrally located, inexpensive
and offer good resources to budget minded travelers. They also give you the option
to save on food costs by offering breakfast and/or kitchen facilities.  

Our Choice: Grand Hostel, Hüvösvölgyi út 69.
Located steps from a tram stop and on the lushly green side of the city, this hostel is
one of the few in Budapest to offer single-gender dorms.  Recently remodeled,
travelers can choose from 4 or 6 bed dorms or double/triple private rooms.  Free
Internet and parking available, and the hostel boasts a beautiful bar area and
outdoor garden.  Our only wish: either breakfast included or some sort of kitchen
facilities.

Prima Hostel (we book through HostelEurope) has 4,6 and 10 bed dorms
(all mixed gender), is in a great location on the Pest side of the city, and offers
free breakfast and Internet.

Red Bus Hostel (and Hostel 2) has 4-6 bed dorms as well as reasonably
priced singles and doubles.  Free breakfast and kitchen facilities are
available.  Bonus:  A secondhand English bookstore is the perfect place to
buy and/or sell reading material for your trip!
