Visited Hungary for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $90/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

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

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $123/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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