Travel Guides And Tips: Budapest Apartment Rental

The choice of Budapest apartments offered for rent is wide so you can select the best one that suits your budget and needs.

Whether you come for a short city break, or for a 1-2 study course renting an apartment for the duration of your stay is a good alternative to overpriced hotels. During peak season (July-August) and during popular events like the Sziget Festival or the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix most hotels in Budapest are all booked up and your only accommodation option might be staying in an apartment.

Renting an apartment to stay at during your visit to Budapest ensures more freedom and you'll have more space of your own than in a hotel room.

Where to Rent Apartment in Budapest?

Think through the purpose of your visit to Budapest. Do you want to do lots of sightseeing? Are you planning to immerse yourself in Budapest nightlife? Do you prefer staying in a more peaceful, green area of the city?

To be close to all the major sights, restaurants and clubs a downtown location is recommended (districts, V., VI, VII., parts of district IX.).

Look for apartments for rent in district III. (Óbuda) or district XIV. (Zugló) if you want to stay in a nice greenbelt area in Budapest.

Rental Fees of Apartments in Budapest

Price of apartment rental in Budapest depends on the location and the size of the flat. Luxury apartments in the hilly Buda and or in newly built apartment complexes cost more than used flats in central Pest.

You also pay less for an unfurnished apartment but if you come to Budapest for a holiday or attending a university course a fully-furnished apartment with a well-equipped kitchen is a better option.

Most rental agencies specializing in renting out apartments in Budapest offer long term rentals but you can request for offer on daily rentals, too.

You can get cheap apartment rentals for 15 - 20 € per night while rental fee of a new or recently built flat starts from cc. 50-60 €/night.

Read the terms of apartment rental (or ask if you rent directly from the apartment owner) well because rental fees are usually higher per night by 20-25% if you stay only for 1-2 nights.

All in all you can save a considerable amount of money by renting an apartment to stay in during your visit to Budapest.
