JÁNOS & VIRÁG'S TIPS ON WHERE TO STAY...
Budapest has a number of options depending on your needs. Below are János & Virág’s very own
apartments, along with a couple of other suggestions. Should those all be booked up feel free to drop us a
line and let us know. We're not a travel agency but will certainly try to lend a helping hand by offering some
tips to make your search easier!
János & Virág’s Very Own...
Our apartments have an excellent location in the very heart of
Budapest and all look on to a very quiet inner yard. You would not
imagine that an apartment in the touristic area can be so quiet. All
apartments have separate bathrooms with a shower. As they are
all on the same floor next to each other we can offer a maximum
capacity of 23 people if you have a larger group.

János & Virág Suggest Friends Hostel...
A cosy, small and cool budget accommodation with artistic design in
the centre of Budapest, surrounded by several tourist sights, cinemas,
theaters, plenty of good restaurants, clubs, cafés. Including their two
apartments they can accommodate 45 persons in total. Unlike the
huge hostels they intend to take care of every single traveller in case
of any questions from program planning to local assistance.

the Parliament, several major sights and the River Danube, the
Origo hostel offers you cozy and budget friendly accommodations.

JÁNOS & VIRÁG'S BUDAPEST "No-No's"
Tipping in restaurants...
Money exchange...
In restaurants sometimes service is added to the bill
automatically. Before giving a tip to the waiter or waitress,
we suggest you check the restaurant's policy on the
menu. If the tip is usually included in the bill then you do
not need to give any additional tip (unless, of course, you
are extremely satisfied with the food and the service). If
the tip is not included in the bill then we would suggest
around 10% as a normal amount. However, if you are not
impressed with the service, don't feel obliged to leave
anything, or leave less than 10% - this is genuinely a service
related charge!
Don't be ripped off! We strongly
recommend the changers in the
city center which have better rates
than the airport or train stations.
Taxis...
We advise against hiring a taxi
at the train stations. In case you
need a taxi, call one on phone or
ask us to reserve one for you.
