Hotel Taverna is well located for walking or getting public transportation to all the main places tourists wish to see in the “Pest” side of Budapest. The friendly staff speak many languages, and the service is very good. You’ll find the scrumptions breakfast included in the price to be excellent no matter what your preferences are or your nationality and native customs. It is truly an international dining room and fascinating to watch the assembly of world citizenry get ready for the day! Many tour groups stay here because of the location and quality of this fine hotel at very fair prices. We thought we would never find Hotel Taverna because it is nearly hidden,surrounded by one-way streets and is in a quiet area just off a main shopping boulevard. If you are driving it is best to ask someone to show you on a map how to get into the parking or check-in area.
And when in Budapest, don’t miss the experience of eating lunch at the famous and beautiful Market. The upstairs has Eterems that are a wonderful discovery . The food in the restaurant here is so fresh, delicious, and very inexpensive.
To sample all the wonderful Hungarian foods you’ll want to find a good buffet. We recommend dining on the boat at Pier #2. Kossuth Museumhajo (Etterem Restaurant) is a real steamship built in 1913. We dined in Venhajo Restaurant on board. Phone 36-1-267-03-03.

And save an evening to dine at Marvany-Menyasszony Restaurant in Krisztina Town on the Buda side, near the Cathedral. You’ll see authentic Hungarian dances in traditional hand-embroidered, brightly colorful clothing and enjoy the wonderful Gypsy Band.
