About
Budget Hotel Victoria
Budget Hotel Victoria sits on Fo Utca in Budapest’s Castle District, about 2.5 km from the ruin-bar hub of Szimpla Kert. The hotel is a 3-star property with Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour reception, and a paid airport shuttle. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and soundproofing, with some overlooking the river and Parliament.
Guest feedback consistently highlights the warm, helpful staff and the breakfast spread, which several reviewers describe as having a wide variety and freshly cooked egg dishes. The location near Batthyány tér metro and tram stops makes it easy to hop between Buda and Pest, and the riverside position earns repeated praise for views and convenience.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are 'budget' – manage expectations — Several guests describe the rooms as simple or basic, which matches the hotel’s 3-star price point. That’s fine if you view the hotel as a base, not a destination.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a dog or cat, you’ll need to look elsewhere, as the policy is strictly no pets.
- Smoking is prohibited on site — The entire property is non-smoking, so smokers will need to step outside – and even that may be limited, depending on local rules.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — If you’re arriving on a late flight or train, you’ll need to plan around the reception’s check-in hours, which close at midnight.
