I hope the Hilton Budapest West End is a good place. I just snagged a 3-day reservation, mid-week, for 199DM a day (or about $87USD). This is a "pay up front and can't be refunded" reservation, but assuming I don't take deathly ill I'll be there.

I was planning on staying somewhere for about half this price, but it looked like a steal so I grabbed it. King size standard room, but I'm hoping I might get upgraded as a gold member.

It looks like this is a good deal, too. The Hyatt's charging a minimum of 440DM (for a queen), the other Hilton is charging 445DM (for the same type of room), and the Marriott is charging 409DM (for an executive room). I'm not sure why the West End is so cheap. I mean, non-refundable is part of it, but still. Weird.

(Edited to note that this is a 'pay up front' rate.)
