Balassi Gellert Hill Guesthouse

Somlói út 51 (Budapest) 1016

In Balassi Gellért Hill Guesthouse you'll find two catering establishments, a buffet and a buffet-restaurant. They both work independently from the hostel. If you wish to taste something special Hungarian, or you prefer a nearby restaurant with an excellent kitchen we suggest to visit János Restaurant, only 400 metres away.
