Visited Hungary for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $79/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $89/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
