Where to stay in Budapest?
 

Going for a long weekend with family. What is a good area to stay in?
When I look at LateStays.com they bring up different areas
Buda
Castel District
Margaret Island
Margit-Sziget
Pest
Suburb North

We are looking for a place near to sights and shopping (shopping going with mom and 2 sisters *sigh*)

Any suggestions will be appreciated a lot since I have to handle bookings and know nothing about Budapest.

Gellert Hotel - you can use your epassporte card :)

Hey Michael, I am hungarian and happy to help you with Anything. Booking, organizing, etc. Feel free to email me or hit me up on ICQ ;)

Thanks :)
Of to bed now I will message you tomorrow.

Sofia Budapest hotel might be one of the best places I have ever stayed. At my last conference there everyone kept talking about how comfortable the beds were. I'm sure people flipped the mattresses over just to find out the make. That hotel is very central.
