Novotel Budapest Centrum

The Klimt Bar is dark wood and patterned ceiling, a lobby room built for coffee, cocktails and cake under an Art Nouveau hand. That decorative style carries through the ground floor, where the Palace Restaurant serves Hungarian and international dishes beneath the same ornamental plasterwork. Upstairs, the rooms are plainer and more recent: renovated interiors with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, the superior doubles running to 20 m². Family rooms and deluxe doubles add a sofa bed and stretch to 22 m². It is a compact stay. The hotel stands on Rákóczi út, one of the city's main boulevards, with a metro and tram stop at Blaha Lujza tér a minute's walk away. Eastern Railway Station is a 10-minute walk, Keleti's trains and trams within easy reach on foot. From the door it is a few minutes' walk to the Madách Theatre and the cinemas around Uránia, and a short drive to the Opera House and the Museum of Fine Arts. Seven meeting rooms, the largest at 88 m², handle groups up to 330 in theatre style. Checkout runs to noon, and the building keeps a strict no-smoking policy throughout. The address puts guests within a short walk of Korút's shops and a metro ride from the wider grid of Budapest's museums and galleries.
