It's been a couple years since I was there, but it was about a 30 minute drive, so your guess is pretty good. I believe it was around 8,000 HUF, but that's where I'm having a little trouble remembering. I always stay at the Marriott, which is just down the street from the Intercontinental where the OP is staying.

If I'm alone, I might take the bus. But the taxi is the easiest from the airport, especially if the OP is with other people and has heavy luggage. And my hunger level at arrival sometimes dictates how long I can stand to sit on a bus vs. just getting there quickly and finding dinner.
