The airport minibus is expensive by Hungarian standards and not a particularly good service. The standard of driving when we took it was atrocious and on our return journey, we were kept waiting & driven on a tour of the city while they tried to fill it up with other passengers.
In the lobby of the Marriott Hotel is an 'all you can eat' dessert bar, which costs roughly £4 per head. The selection is fantastic (they had 3 different kinds of strudel the day we went). However, coffee, tea etc is extra.

The Soul Cafe is a restaurant on Raday Utca, serving superb food in pleasant surroundings. They have everything from soups and sandwiches to mains etc. We had lots of lovely meals in Budapest but this was the best. If this restaurant doesn't tempt you, there are dozens of others on this street, which is near Kalvin Ter metro station.

The Cloister Inn is a very good quality hotel in a superb location. It’s five minutes’ walk from the Charles Bridge and other major attractions, yet extremely quiet, being located in a side street. Rooms are very comfortable, with air-con and modern furnishings. The breakfast is more than adequate and there is free tea, coffee & internet access in the lobby.
