Pest-Buda Design Hotel - A historic 10-room boutique hotel in Budapest's Castle District with industrial-style decor and seasonal terrace dining
Dating back to 1696, this Budapest hotel occupies a historic building in the Castle District, just 0.3 miles from the Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion. Pest-Buda Design Hotel features 10 rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, premium bedding, pillow menus, and laptop-compatible safes. The interior combines Hungarian oak flooring, limestone bathrooms, and industrial copper lamps with contemporary Hungarian artwork. Each room includes a Nespresso machine, L'Occitane toiletries, and individually controlled air conditioning. The on-site restaurant serves homemade Hungarian cuisine on a seasonal terrace overlooking Matthias Church, with live accordion music in the evenings. Pest-Buda offers breakfast options including egg plates, Croque Madame, or duck hot dog. The hotel's location provides access to major landmarks within walking distance, while a castle bus connects guests to downtown areas.
Pros
Owned by the Zsidai Group with over three decades of hospitality experience
French café atmosphere with live accordion music
Interior design by Somlai Tibor featuring both classic craftsmanship and industrial elements
Graphic design concept by renowned wine label designer Ipacs Géza
Cons

“In my opinion, this is a distinctive boutique stay nestled in Buda's Castle District, a property that stands out for its blend of historical charm and modern design. The on-site bistro and artful touches from local designers contribute to an authentic experience, while its location allows for easy exploration of Matthias Church and Buda Castle; overall, it's a gem for those seeking character and quality.”
