Though rooms at Hotel Palazzo Zichy usually clock in at over $100 a night, it's number one on our list because of its long list of freebies. Wi-Fi, breakfast buffet, sauna, fitness center, mineral water, and coffee all day are included with the room price. The four pearl boutique property isn't short on style either. It's housed in an historic 19th century building with contemporary and stylish interiors. Sleek guest rooms have hardwood floors and rainfall showerheads. Built on the Pest side of the city, restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance. 

Three Corners Hotel Bristol is a three-and-a-half pearl hotel near the Keleti Metro station, with 24-hour front desk service, a stylish bar, and a bright breakfast room, as well as a fitness corner, a sauna, and three meeting rooms.

There's a free breakfast buffet of international and Hungarian fare. Commerce in the immediate area includes a market, cafes, shops, other hotels and a Pizza Zona pizzeria.

Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget has low prices and loads of extra spa-theme facilities included in the room rate. The three pearl property is under construction as of 2015, leading to some noise but upgraded rooms which have flat-screen TVs and some views of the Danube River from balconies. Most of the guests are on the property to make use of the elaborate indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, salt room, fitness center, and treatment options like massages and facials. The location on Margaret Island offers quiet and convenience to both sides of the city. 

The Bo18 Hotel Superior is a small hotel located on a quiet street in Budapest's historic Eighth District, near the Corvin Passage shopping area. Simply furnished rooms feature flat-screen TVs and light-wood furniture. A 10 dollar upgrade to a Superior Room buys a DVD player, free tea, coffee, and mineral water, and free early check-in/late check-out when it's available. All guests get a breakfast buffet with sparkling wine and access to two saunas and a whirlpool hot tub. A free drink voucher on arrival is another budget-friendly perk. 

Private rooms (and dorms) at this hostel in a former royal mansion have rock bottom prices and loads of free extras. Maverick Hostel is located in the heart of the city center and next to a metro station, which helps to keep transportation costs low. Each floor has a communal kitchen complete with a full-size refrigerator, cooking gear, and dishwasher. Some private rooms have en suite bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. The hostel hosts twice weekly beverage tastings of local alcohol and wine. Coffee, fruit, and Wi-Fi are available free of charge throughout the day. 

Free breakfast buffet, free Wi-Fi, stylish interiors, and a super convenient location bring the Atrium Fashion Hotel to sixth place on our list. It's situated just east of the city center on a pedestrian-friendly street in Pest. Rooms aren't quite as up to snuff as the public spaces, which include an artistic lobby set with contemporary furniture and a multi-story atrium. Minimalist white bookshelves hold art books and guidebooks against a bold lime green wall. 57 rooms are equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles, though many overlook the interior atrium instead of the outdoors. 

Room rates vary at the All-4U Apartments, Hungary and there are deals to be had, but prepare to pay extra to use the gym, spa, saunas, pool, and air-conditioning. Studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments are nicely furnished with wood floors and original artwork. Flat-screen TVs, full kitchens, balconies, and washing machines make the set-up perfect for families and couples that want to self cater. The location in the city's Jewish District puts guests at a quick walk to restaurants and shops, and 24 minutes to the Budapest Airport. 

Set on a busy main road two blocks from the Keleti train station, the 468-room Hotel Hungaria City Center is a large budget hotel. Rooms are clean but dated with tube-style TVs and occasionally threadbare carpets. The property is situated in a neighborhood full of retail shops and some eateries, which may be cheaper than in other parts of the city, if mostly average. Original oil paintings by local artists hang in the lobby and live music is occasionally presented. This is a solid pick for those who want to save money but don't plan on doing much other than sleeping at the hotel.
