“Lights are on, but nobody's home!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

people found this review helpful

CLOSED!

Stopped by this property to investigate bringing a group here next summer. The signage has been removed, and when we finally got someone to answer, they indicated that it's under new management, catering to corporate clients, and may or may not be available for public bookings. We took a brief tour of the rooms - they're looking pretty run down.

Maybe things will turn around under new management, but for now, the Radio Inn is history!

“A nice place close to Hösök Tere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

Hotel Radio Inn has been the place I have chosen to stay at the last few times I have travelled to Budapest. It it situated very close to the M1 (Bajza utca station), the Troli-bus and some bus routes. The Széchenyi baths, Hôsök Tere and the Museums around the square are within walking distance, as is Liszt Tér and the old Jewish district. The staff are friendly, and the rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. Would recommend to ask for rooms facing away from Benzúr utca, as the traffic in the morning can be somewhat noisy, for those who are inclined to sleep lightly.

“We love this place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2011

As always the place was clean, is in a safe neighborhood (day and night), and quiet. The price was great and it was for an apartment, not just a room. It gives you a chance to buy food in their lovely markets and cook a few things in the kitchen. The location is a few blocks from Hero's Square and the "yellow" metro is a few minutes walk, like three minutes if you stroll.

“A modest gem of a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

Radio Inn isn't flashy or plush, but it's very much of a piece with old Budapest, and is wonderfully situated for all kinds of exploration of the city, just two blocks from Andrassy Ut and the darling 1 line subway, and a short walk from the city park with the incredible Szechenyi baths, the Fine Arts Museum, and the Zoo. And even without the subway, the walk down Andrassy to downtown Pest is 1) only 20 minutes and 2) simply lovely. Radio Inn itself is simple and straight-forward. The rooms are large and airy with windows (or balconies) over the quiet street in front, or the tree-filled yards in the back. The furniture is a little tacky, but perfectly comfortable, and there's a simple kitchen (Radio Inn is great if you want to save a little money, or if you have kids and want to have some ready meals on hand). The neighborhood is mainly old mansions and embassies, quiet and beautiful, with trees and great architecture that encourage wandering walks. The better restaurants aren't next door, but as another reviewer mentioned, they're only 10 minutes away, and the money you save at Radio Inn allows you to have that extra glass of wine or pre-dinner Palincka without worrying. The staff was always friendly and helpful. When I come back to Budapest, and I certainly plan to, I will come back to Radio Inn.

“I adore Radio Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2011

This is my second time staying at Radio Inn (first was in the summer of 2008) and it's great. The rooms are big and quite clean. The kitchenette where you can stock breakfast/lunch items (and could perfectly well cook dinner) makes it even more of a bargain. The neighborhood is loaded with embassy mansions and is quiet and leafy. The metro is a block away, comes every 2 minutes or so, and you're 5 minutes from the heart of Budapest. The city park (and the Szechenyi Baths and a good art museum) are a brief walk. My favorite restaurants aren't in the immediate area, but the rooms are such a good value that I can afford to eat more fabulously, and so don't mind. The furniture is out of date -- this is not the place to go if you'd want to stay somewhere stunning or stylish. The staff are perfectly nice. The whole place is just a wonderful option and such a crazy good value.
