EuroCheapo review print this page

The charming Hotel Sissi, just a few blocks from the Danube, offers a few extra touches uncommon among hotels in its general price category. Along the way, it maintains its dedication to Budapest's favorite 19th-century princess without getting too frilly.

Thanks to inspiration found within the lifespan of Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie (a.k.a. Sissi), the hotel features a few old fashioned touches. Downstairs, the Sissi balances a romantic impulse with sleek sophistication. In the entry, we encountered a cabinet displaying St. Louis colored crystal glasses above a shoe shine machine. Dansk collector plates are sold in the lobby and little framed etchings of women in hoop skirts hang on the walls.

The one and only "Sissi" room is booked for romantic stays and is inspired by the Victorian era, with a four-poster bed, lacy pillow shams, and candlelight sconces. Surprisingly, the other 44 rooms at the hotel are 1960s modern, featuring yellow and blue floral print bed covers, basic wood furnishings, and a funky blue wall trim.

Rooms facing the street are quite peaceful, as are all double rooms facing the back garden. The hotel's terrace offers an inviting retreat just a few blocks from bustling Pest.

Note: The Hotel Sissi shares a backyard with the Corvin Hotel next door.

About the Sissi neighborhood

The old Red Light district of Budapest is in the process of a makeover. The massive neo-classical Hungarian National Museum sits grandly along the Múzeum on the west side and the József körút cuts through the middle of the neighborhood of reinvention. Once a bit seedy, József körút is turning into a fun, eccentric part of town. World music stores, gothic clothing shops, and numerous boho cafés and pubs have sprung up, adding new life to the area. The heart of Ferencváros merges with Józsefváros, and sports its very own savvy student scene.
