The Amberlyn Suite Hotel
The staff was wonderful with us. The location was perfect close to everything walking distance. The hotel was open 24 seven which mean you could get a receptionist in the front. They had breakfast which you can pay extra for and a bar. I recommend this hotel if you are choice is Budapest.
