Located in a classy diplomat neighborhood, the Benczúr is close to Hero's Square, the City Park and the gorgeous Széchenyi Baths. It's a big place, with more than a hundred rooms, all with standard amenities.
The Benczúr is unexpectedly utilitarian. Much of the hotel is quite lovely and modern. But some aspects feel like leftover Communist chic without, err, much in the way of "chic." Staircase railings are actually metal slabs painted steel blue. Carpets are 1970s-era orange. You get the picture.
The hotel offers up a whopping 90 standard rooms, 58 superior rooms and a handful of suites and apartments. Furnishings have a mostly chain hotel feel; nightstands, chairs, desks and lamps come in a light wood. Beds are outfitted with minimalist comforters, all in pleasing colors. Bathrooms feel more rustic, with pull-chain toilets and funky shower tile mosaics.
The first floor boasts an ample terrace and a souvenir shop.
The Benczúr, as you might imagine, is popular with members of both the business and economy classes. More services and amenities can be found here than at most Cheapo spots, but be prepared to live with some unsightly, strictly pragmatic finishes. We suppose that if the Benczúr was good enough for the Pope (who stayed here in 1994) it's good enough for today's proletariat.
