St George Residence - luxury hotel in Budapest

Now we have checked in at St George Residence - a real luxury hotel in Budapest. This hotel is in a great location on the Buda side of Budapest, just a few minutes walk from the Fisherman's Bastion and the castle. The hotel is luxurious, but above all it feels like you've moved a few hundred years back in time. Cool!

Travel with a busy programme

What a programme! We are in Budapest on a press trip, and the schedule is hectic to say the least. From the time we landed in Budapest at 14:30 yesterday until we got back to the hotel at 01:00 at night, it was full steam ahead.

First all the bloggers had to be driven around to their different hotels in the city, then we had time to check in and have a quick look at the hotel before it was time for the welcome dinner, which ended with a guided pub crawl... So far we can tell you about the fantastic hotel we checked in at!

Luxury hotels in Budapest

We are staying at the beautiful old hotel St George Residence. When we entered the room we thought it was for a king or queen or something, haha. Too bad we can't spend more time here! We won't be spending any more nights in Budapest, because during the day we will move to Pécs in the south-eastern corner of Hungary. You know that we love this kind of old. The furniture has a history and we like that, but one night is more than nothing.

Hotel environment and basement vaults

When holidaying in Budapest, you can take the opportunity to stay a little extra luxurious, as the prices are good. The last time we were here we stayed at Hotel Presidentand we were amazed at how much luxury we got for a reasonable price. This time we are staying at the St George Residence, and it really is a fascinating and impressive place. The building is 700 years old, and you can tell when you go down into the basement vault!

Location of the hotel

It's three minutes to the Fisherman's Bastion, the castle, the best views of Budapest and the Danube. In the evening, when they light up the city, you just have to bring your camera.

More to see and do in Budapest

There is of course much more to What to see and do in Budapest. Have a look at the beautiful Hungarian baths and the exciting Hungarian caves. There are also lots of lovely Hungarian food to try. Below you will find even more tips for experiences and activities, both in Budapest and around Hungary.

What great experiences, but you are really being put to the test.
You can rest up when you get home.
So glad that Peter's back has improved.

Steve, well you have to sleep some other time in life... When we get home we probably need to rest! 😉

Nils-Åke, yes there will probably be a lot we have to save until we get home... 😉.

Eva, the hotel is cool! We have also slept well even if we would have liked to sleep a little more 😉 See you soon!

WOW! Double WOW!!! The picture of the Parliament is incredible, and so is the room.

Sounds a bit hard to rush around like that... Oh! Who am I trying to fool? A little jealous is the truth 😉 But not envious of course - keep it great! 🙂

PS: I'm glad that Peter's back is better so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

We also have fond memories of Budapest. A bit sad with the political situation in the country right now 🙁 .

So cool! And what a hotel!
Good thing you're alert and fit! You can sleep at another time! It's great to still have time to see so much of the city in a short time and when you do, it's great to have a good guide.
The picture of the Parliament is really delicious!
Wishing you a pleasant journey.

Ama de casa, the view was awesome! And of course it's great to be able to travel like this, even if it's hectic.

Lennart, can only agree 🙂

Anja, I agree with you about the political situation. There is a lot going on in different parts of Europe...

Christine, right? I'll show more when we get home and have time!

Ditte, yes we will have to sleep some other time! 😉 Will report more later!

Of course, most things are so magnificent in Hungary. We also spent a few days around Lake Balaton a few years ago. After this, Birgitta said: "Now I want sausage and mashed potatoes, after all the huge food portions. Have a good time.

What a fantastic night shot Peter(?) has taken! Even the Queen of England would be happy in that hotel. WOW!

Cool bar, how cheeky!

Thank goodness Peter is feeling better!

My German teacher (and tandem partner in German-Swedish) comes from Budapest. Maybe I should take a little road trip with her to experience Budapest from a Hungarian angle, would probably be exciting! Those ruin bars sound exciting even though I do not want either beer, spirits or drinks 🙂.

JoY, glad you like the picture! 🙂

Matts, we can agree that the portions are large! Both for lunch and dinner we have received very good food, but also very large portions!

BP, haha, I (Helena) actually took this picture, but iofs on Peter's initiative that we would go and take pictures. Love that you guess! 😉

Lanclin, that sounds like a great idea! And I actually ordered a Coke at the bar 😉.
