Visited Hungary for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $143/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
