Bohem Art Hotel

"If you’re looking for a no-frills base for exploring the city on foot, look no further than Bohem Art Hotel, a four-star boutique propertynear Váci Street, across from Gellért Hill, and just steps fromthe Danube. Given their central location, the 60 crisp white rooms look way better than they need to: each features bold red and black accents and work by a specific contemporary artist, and guests are encouraged to choose the room they’d like to stay in by reviewing the artists’ CVs, which are listed on the hotel’s website. Large groups will appreciate the not only triple- but also quadruple-room configurations, as well as a handful of suites with sofa beds and huge bathrooms. And if it’s too daunting a task to choose a local bar for pre-dinner cocktails, Bohem has you covered with its lobby lounge."

Where to Stay in Budapest (Updated 2025)

"Staying here feels like being in an art gallery—the retro lobby and artwork in the lounge and rooms stood out to me—while the beds are comfy, rooms include desks, outlets and an electric kettle, and the breakfast is great (including freshly-squeezed orange juice) with very powerful showers; it’s also right near the river and Váci utca." - Matthew Kepnes

The 6 Best Hotels in Budapest in 2025

"Staying here feels like you’re staying in an art gallery; I especially love the art in the lounge and rooms, with lots of unique photos and murals. This four-star, retro-designed hotel is right near the river and the popular Váci utca pedestrian shopping street. The beds are comfy and the rooms, while not huge, have plenty of outlets, an electric kettle, AC, minibar, desk, flatscreen TV, large windows that bring in natural light, and super powerful showers. Breakfast is great with lots of options, including a freshly squeezed orange juice machine, making it a solid midrange choice in the heart of the city." - Matthew Kepnes
