Lonely Planet review

The King's is Budapest's only kosher hotel and is within easy walking distance of both the orthodox and conservative synagogues. The hotel's restaurant is lemehadrin (or glatt) kosher and supervised by the chief rabbi of Budapest.

The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building in the heart of the Jewish quarter. The 78 rooms, all of them with en suite bathrooms, are a little too 'old rose' for our liking, but they are modern and comfortable enough. You might not choose to stay here if (a) you don't answer to a higher authority and (b) you want more of a choice about where to rest your weary head. Rooms on four floors look onto a quiet inner courtyard garden or onto Nagy Diófa utca; a few of them have balconies. Special rates are available over the high holidays (eg a Passover package).
