Hotel Rum was the hotel of choice for our city break in Budapest this Christmas season.
A beautiful contemporary urban hotel situated in the quiet downtown area of the city, it was a stones throw away from the busy main town centre, and the walk into town was quick and easy to get to.
It was nice to have a hotel in a cute quiet little area of Budapest that we probably would not have of seen otherwise.
I loved that the entrance to the hotel was down a quiet little road that you wouldn't usually come across if you were just walking around that area.
It was like finding a hidden gem.

Our Booking
We booked to stay in a medium sized room, which was situated on the sixth floor of the hotel which is currently the top floor, that is until they open their new rooftop bar in the summer.
As the room is at the top of the hotel it had a sky light window which looked out onto the main street below.

With our booking we got a 10% voucher for the hotels restaurant Urban Tiger and a welcome drink.
All of that came in the price of the hotel, which we stayed for three nights, for well under £200 pp.
The Medium Room
The medium room was a perfect size for the both of us, it came with a desk area, an area over the other side of the room to hang and fold clothes and then a cute little bathroom with a sliding door.
I'm not overly fond of bathrooms in hotel rooms without proper closing doors. I don’t think it’s very private to have a sliding door for the bathroom area, especially as it didn’t close all the way to the wall.
From looking at the photos of other rooms in the hotel it looks as though all sized rooms have the same sliding door to the bathroom.
But other than that the room was great, and such a big size for the both of us.
The bed had two separate single duvets on it, I have seen this in other hotels in Budapest, maybe it’s a thing there but it would of been nice to have one big duvet for the both of us.
On arrival we were greeted to a little note and two Home made chocolate chip cookies. I absolutely love little details like that and they were SO good as well.
The Hotel
The entrance into the hotel greets you with the reception desk which is always maned and a small cosy seating area with complementary fizzy water and fresh fruit.
The ground floor also leads you through to the hotels restaurant Urban Tiger which serves a buffet breakfast in the morning, which honestly was one of the best breakfasts that I have had in a hotel. The selection was great and was always fully replenished.
We Loved It
We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel, not only was the hotel immaculate and warming in itself, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The added bonus of a complimentary drink and 10% off our food bill in Urban Tiger made it just the most perfect location.
I love contemporary boutique hotels, and this is now another one of my favourites.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend, and would most definitely revisit if I were to go back to Budapest in the future.
