Located in Buda's university quarter, the Ábel Panzió is a quiet 1920's style retreat, and in a leafy neighborhood just minutes from public transport. After a long day spent in the hustle and bustle of central Pest, check in here for the quiet and the reasonable rates.
The property's century-old front door—gorgeously restored and covered by vines—leads to a grand front room with an antique bar and a pretty dining room table. Breakfast is served up here each morning.
Rooms have lots of homey touches, including framed reproductions of abstract art. Family cottage-style furniture is of better-than-usual budget quality. Desks, night tables, and bed frames come in real wood. Doubles and singles on the top floor have slanted ceilings and skylights, giving the rooms a modern feel. In contrast, quarters on the first floor have high ceilings and feel more turn-of-the-last-century. Live plants brighten up most rooms.
Another bonus? The Ábel has a backyard replete with picnic tables.
Note: To get to the Ábel Panzió, take the 61 tram to the Szuret utca stop and walk five minutes.

About the Abel Panzio neighborhood
Running along the western waters of the Danube, Gellért Hill showcases Budapest's royal and fantastic sides. It includes the Citadella, a major tourist draw. From its hilltop location, both hikers and motorists can appreciate an aerial view of Pest. At the foot of the Szabadság Bridge, the famous Gellért Hotel sits along the riverfront. Its gorgeous spa, open to the public, was built in Secessionist style and features marble columns and colorful mosaics. Across the street, monks from the Pauline Order participate in religious functions inside their cavernous cathedral.
Thankfully, budget hotels are on flatter ground, just west of the hills. The west side of Gellért, circling around the Congress Center, is markedly different from the hillside. The atmosphere is suburban, with office buildings and business class hotels scattered throughout residential neighborhoods. (On the east side, there are very few hotels. In fact, the only accommodation in east Gellért is one youth hostel, near The Citadella.)
