Any suggestions for doing laundry in Budapest before getting on a river cruise? Thanks!
If you look at google maps and put in Budapest Hilton and then use the "nearby" icon and type in laundry. Appears that there are 2 about a mile a way. I would email the Hilton and ask them for their suggestions.
The nearest laundry that I see is near (i think in) the Mammut Shopping Center. The problem with looking at a street map is that it doesnt show elevation changes. Its a pretty steep walk down then back up. Google maps says a 20 minute walk or 8 minutes in a taxi each way.
Did the river cruise put you in the Budapest Hilton? In theory it is only a 30 minute walk to Deak Ferenc ter, which is the center for all of the tourism, but that is also about 200 feet vertical. Study up on the 16, 16A and 116 Bus lines before you go and get a BKK TravelCard for the duration of your stay in Buda.
Castle Hill is one large construction site these days but the corner where the Hilton is and the Fisherman's Bastion is still okay.
