Historic Guesthouse with Character

The Kalmár Panzió, built in 1898, sits on the southeastern side of Gellért Hill, 300 feet above the Gellért Baths. The villa features antique furnishings collected over generations, including upholstered chairs, heavy wardrobes, and oil paintings. Guests receive a welcome drink of pálinka, a Hungarian fruit brandy. The property has operated as a guesthouse since the 1970s, run by the Kalmar Family since 1966.

Rooms with Antique Charm

Air-conditioned rooms include private entrances, smart flat-screen TVs, and granite bathrooms with heated floors. Some units offer views of Gellért Thermal Bath or the garden. The double room has a queen-size bed, antique furniture, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle. The apartment includes a well-fitted kitchen with a dining table and a safety deposit box. Dogs are allowed if notified in advance.

Breakfast and Garden Relaxation

Breakfast features a cold buffet selection and scrambled or fried eggs. Guests can use bicycles for free. The villa is set in a large garden with a trampoline and baby facilities. The area around Gellért Hill is one of Budapest's most elegant districts.

Near Landmarks and Transport

The guesthouse is a 5-minute walk from Szent Gellért Ter and 0.5 km from Gellért Thermal Bath. Nearby landmarks include Citadella (1 km), Liberty Bridge (1 km), and Buda Castle (2 km). Parking is available at Hotel Gellért for €15. The airport transfer service costs €33, and late check-in requires prior confirmation for a surcharge.

Family-Friendly and Quirky

The villa is a good choice for families, with a contained garden and baby facilities. The furnishings reflect decades of collection, with parquet or marble flooring and four-poster beds. The guesthouse appeals to those seeking character and historical interest rather than a modern hotel.

“This feels like discovering a well-kept secret in Budapest: a family-run guesthouse where antique furniture meets modern comfort. I picture mornings spent in the garden, a quiet escape so close to the city's buzz. It stands out for its library-themed decor and personal touches that larger hotels simply can't replicate.”
