Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher is a four-star hotel at Andrássy út 52, on the UNESCO-listed boulevard in the sixth district, a few steps from Oktogon, the busy junction where the avenue meets the Grand Boulevard. It has 121 rooms in a wide range of categories, from Basic Double and Superior Double to Superior Rooms with a balcony, Deluxe, Junior rooms and a Panoramic Suite, with twin and double layouts. Rooms include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, smart televisions with cable channels, coffee and tea makers, rainfall showers and free toiletries, and the hotel is smoke-free and pet-friendly. There is a restaurant and a bar, with a buffet breakfast for a surcharge, and the facilities include a 24-hour gym, a 24-hour business centre, coworking spaces, two meeting rooms and a concierge. Luggage storage and dry cleaning are available, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge. Walking times from the hotel are short: Oktogon and Ferenc Liszt tér are about two minutes away, Király utca three minutes, the Hungarian State Opera eight minutes and St. Stephen's Basilica thirteen, with the House of Terror within about ten. The Oktogon metro stop is a minute's walk, and Nyugati station is ten minutes. Check-in is from 2:30 pm until midnight, with late arrival possible during limited hours, and check-out is at 11:00 am.
Location
This is one of the most practical addresses in Pest. The M1 line runs under Andrássy Avenue, connecting you to Heroes' Square and the Széchenyi baths in one direction and Deák Ferenc tér in the other, while the tram lines on the Grand Boulevard link the Danube and Margaret Island. The cafés, restaurants and bars of Liszt Ferenc tér are around the corner, and the Jewish Quarter's nightlife is a short walk. Expect city noise at Oktogon, so ask for a higher or courtyard-facing room if you are a light sleeper.
Choosing the room
The Basic rooms suit short stays, Superior and Deluxe rooms add space, and the balcony and Panoramic rooms are the ones to ask for if you want a view of the avenue. Free infant beds and travel cribs are available, and the coworking spaces suit remote workers who need a base. Pets are accepted for a fee per night.
The trade-offs
The hotel does not list a spa or a pool, so you will rely on the gym and on the nearby thermal baths, and breakfast costs extra. The restaurant and bar are convenient, but the neighbourhood has far more variety. For a central, well-connected base with flexible rooms and a mid-range price, it is hard to beat.
