Danubius Hotel Flamenco ^****

Hotel Flamenco is an outstanding value for the money. Do not be mislead by the number of tour busses that utilizes this hotel for a stopover, the hotel is very, very good for individual travelers and couples. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The air here is much less poluted than in the city. The building and the rooms are characteristic of the communist era construstion, but they are clean, and comfortable. Try to get a room on the 6th or the 7th floor, on the West side. You get to go the small breakfast room, avoiding the buss-crowd. The greatest unrecognized asset of this place is the easy acccess to public transport. Park your car on the roof and forget it. (Don't forget to buy a general pass, as it is usable for all public transports incl trams and busses.) Trams #6, #49 and #61 can take you around the whole city, and buss #7 takes you to the middle in minutes. Ask the concierge how to access them. As I said, they are very helpfull The place is well run by the charming Manageress, a lady with a very good command of the English language and most of the staff are multilingual. There is a good health facility, but walk the city instead. The restaurant is acceptable, and there are several good restaurants within 5 minutes of walking. I recommend the Kis Vigado on Villányi Street. Enjoy!
