ACCOMMODATION
The local organisers recommend two hotels that a) are centrally located in the Pest side of Budapest, and b) are also very close to the subway station (“Oktogon”) that is four stops (1.4 km) from the station (“Hősök tere”) from where the conference venue (Hungarian House of Music / Magyar Zene Háza) is just a short walk in a beautiful park.
The two hotels close to the “Octagon” subway station are:
Medos Hotel: 3-star hotel
H-1061 Budapest, Jókai tér 9.
Reserving a room on Medos Hotel’s homepage gives an automatic 20% discount (no promo code is needed).
Hotel Oktogon: 4-star hotel
H-1062 Budapest, Andrássy út 52.
Hotel Oktogon has given a promotional code for the conference participants. Please register here (promotional code is automatically applied).
Please note that neither the ESA, nor the local organisers will be able to book rooms for you – you will have to contact the hotels directly. Since Budapest is a popular tourist location in the summer conference participants are advised to book their room as soon as possible.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
Hungary is in the Central European time zone. Its official currency is the Forint (you can get cash from all the ATMs, but you do not need to carry around much cash, as credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere).
From the airport, you can easily reach the central square in the downtown of the city, Deák Ferenctér, by bus number 100E. There is also an official taxi station at the airport.
