“I will try some other place next time”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

交通不便。雖有電車和巴士,但車上不售票,車站無人賣票,售票機多半故障且無英文。地點偏僻荒涼,沒有任何商店,日夜都覺得不很安全。居住環境還不錯,清潔整齊。早餐8歐元,太貴。

To comment on a hotel, It all depends on what you will expect from it. That is, one can not want everything from one single place: good location, comfort room, friendly service, and reasonable price.
Let me begin with what I like about Best Western Orion:
The room is clean and cozy, and free Internet easily accessible. The staffs are willing to help, and the price reasonable.

Then I want to point out something less than perfect.
1. It is situated on the Buda-side (less populated than Pest), in a rather isolated area. There is no shops nor restaurants (even there is, it is closed). Hardly any people pass by during the day, and we feel unsafe to walk here after dark. So unless you have a car, it's not convenient to stay here, for within a 15-minute walking distance, not even one single store is in sight.

2. Despite that there are quite a few buses and trams going by this area, it is hard for a first-time tourist to take the advantage of it. So we ended up walking between the hotel and downtown all the time.
Comparing to many other cities, the public transportation in Budapest is the least friendly. First, you can't get tickets on the bus (tram, or metro), plus almost nobody is selling them in the
station, and the machines are most broken. One has no choice but buying tickets from some
newspaper stands, tobacco shops, or strangers. In such case, no bus maps are provided.

3. With what is provided, the breakfast, costing 8 Euros, is a bit too expensive for me.

To sum up, if you have your own transportation to get around to the tourist spots, airport and train station, not mind isolation, then this hotel is ideal.
However, if you like seeing people and shops around, buying things easily, and saving some time on moving around, then go find another hotel.



To sum up, if you have your

“Good price for a decent Buda Area...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Good BW hotel, not too expensive but keep in mind that the Hungarian Florint is gone down...Clean, comfortable and decent location, two blocks from the Elisabeth Bridge on the Buda zone. Breakfast included, nothing special, no fruits...It's a 3 star hotel in a quiet street, priced around 48 euros. Some rooms on the street side were noisy. Quality/Price OK.

“Hotel Best Western Orion Budapest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I have been in in a lot of hotels in BUD over the years. This very well priced comfortable hotel with its very friendly staff is - although being one of the cheaper hotels- worth to be really recommended. They care about you even if you arrive late at night or have to leave very early in the morning.

“A convenient and cosy hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've visited Orion several times and always was attracted by its cosiness. It is a small hotel in the Buda part in a quite street very near to Danube. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

The hotel location is convenient for tourism or business - walking distances to Pest downtown and Buda Castle (15-20 min) and easy access to public transport - 2 tram stops near-by and metro stop after the Elisabeth bridge.
The rooms are not too big, but convenient and clean. Breakfast is OK.
