My feedback after visiting Budapest!
Posted by littlefluffypenguin@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 110 comments
Since I just returned from my 5 day long stay in Budapest, I wanted to make a post with some information, opinions and advice for people who want to go!
The good:
1. The city is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful buildings at every corner, I especially loved the St. Stephens Basilica, hands down the most beautiful religious site I've ever visited.
-
The food is incredibly tasty, and there are many options on every corner. I especially loved Tüköry Étterem and Eggi Breakfast and Coffee, but I also had tasty Langos and sausage at Lehel market.
-
Budapest has an amazing tea house culture! I didn't know about it before arriving, but since I am a huge tea drinker, that was a huge bonus. My favorite place was 1000Tea ☺️
-
I really loved the baths too, I went to Széchenyi and Rudas and had a nice time people watching and relaxing. Just make sure to reapply your sunscreen so you don't end up looking like me. 😂
-
Honorable mention: I LOVE the nerdy bar Vault 51. Incredible place with amazing drinks.
The bad:
1. My biggest issue: lots of people working in customer service are incredibly rude. Now, I live in Germany, not the US, so I know cold and distanced, I am fine with it. You don't have to talk to me about your day or smile. But I had mostly awful experiences with waiters and cashiers in Budapest. I have been ignored (a lot) and even received such mean treatment that I actually left multiple businesses. I work in customer service myself, and if I would behave like this, I would be out of a job. Literally most places with decent service were Irish pubs, with Irish people working or really young workers from Hungary.
-
Budapest, except for flights and accommodations is very expensive, I paid the same prices for food and beverages as I would have in Germany. This definitely took me by surprise, since the average person makes much less than a German would.
-
Now, this last one... I was recommended Gettó Gulyás by basically everyone, but I found the food rather disappointing (actually disgusting, but I don't want to be mean). The meat in my stew was incredibly tough, you could have broken a tooth eating it. But maybe I just went on a bad day, since the tables next to me were having the same issue!
All in all: Budapest is a beautiful city with great infrastructure and many attractions.
But the treatment I received will definitely stop me from returning, which has never happened to me with any other place before.

about 'The bad' #2. as someone who lives in Hungary, and is hungarian: believe me, we are aware, and it's harder for us.

Trust me, if you had to live in Hungary for a longer period of time, you'd become rude too.
hoaryvervain@reddit
I’ve been twice and only experienced one place where the customer service was bad, and it was an Aldi. The city is so full of tourists that I imagine the locals get sick of visitors from time to time.
67th_Noodle@reddit
Just back from a week in Budapest, tipping confused me. It's everywhere, even at one food place where I selected my own food, walked it to the cashier and then she just pivoted the payment machine toward me with an automated 12.5% tip (12.5% seemed the standard and you can remove but sometimes the device was in local language and hard to navigate).
I also had two occasions in restaurants where 15% service charge was on the bull, then when the card machine came over it had a 12.5% tip pre selected (so 12.5% of the bill which already includes 15% tip).
It just felt like everywhere was trying to do you over. Aside from that, wonderful experience!
csee00@reddit
Hungarian here, living abroad for 15 years, visiting Budapest every few years almost as a tourist. I think you're absolutely right. Except that I never heard of gettó gulyás in my entire life, but based just on its name it sounds like something I really wouldn't try. The people in customer service should really get their shit together. Based on my last visit I have the sensation that the recent change of government had a liberating effect on the population and I saw much more smiling and positive gestures than before, maybe it will seep over to service as well, who knows
picurebeka@reddit
What you perceived as rudeness is simply the lack of dishonest cheeriness that you might be used to (in Germany too), and the result of overtourism including hapless tourists not doing the minimum research about the city and culture.
Long-Island-Iced-Tea@reddit
Lack of dishonest cheeriness is what you get in Moscow and other places in Eastern Europe.
The Hungarian vibes are better described by terms like contempt, scorn, apathy and a general display of insouciant ok not my problem smiles.
I don't know why we would pinpoint this on overtourism when this issue is completely rampant in all creeds and walks of life in the country, doesn't matter if it's an oddbeat conductor on a passenger train in the boonies, completely disrespectful waiters in expat enclaves, weird af baristas pointing the finger on the tip selection screen without providing any resemblance of eye contact throughout the whole interaction, or the treasury worker telling me to hurry the fuck up and don't fiddle with my wads of cash because q. "még öten vannak ön után és haza akarok menni".
To be transparent, there are many places with excellent customer service. The problem is that this isn't balanced by mediocre or bad customer service, rather a complete lack of customer service.
utsuriga@reddit
No, what they perceived as rudeness was simply rudeness.
I really don't understand why people keep trying to whitewash this, a lot of Hungarian service workers are rude as fuck, to tourists and Hungarians alike.
littlefluffypenguin@reddit (OP)
The Germans are definitely not cheery. 😂 That's why I was so surprised, since neither in Poland nor Germany or in France workers were THIS rude. I am talking about not even returning my hello's or answering my questions regarding the food or products.
Cime16@reddit
You're totally right. I've been to other countries where service workers are supposed to be 'rude' (like France for example) and they all seemed so nice compared to what I'm used to in Hungary. The amount of times a cashier seems personally offended, like I'm disturbing their peace by wanting to pay in a store, is frankly baffling. Especially since I always politely wait for them to finish whatever they were doing, etc.
Worried-Usual-396@reddit
Nah. Hungarian customer service people are quite rude. I am Hungarian, but my experience is very similar. Cashiers are miserable and rude most of the time, waiters are only nice if they can smell tips.
I just came back from vacation, and within a few hours I've met a rude taxi dispatcher at the airport, and a miserable old fart cashier az CBA.
Also, Germans are notorious for not being cheerful. I don't know where you got that from.
Flammarion_Traveller@reddit
I play D&D at Vault 51 every week!
Admirable_Mud_470@reddit
Our culture is different. We do not do fake kindness. No one asked for your opinion on this.
Similar customer service can be found in Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries.
Jaded_Square_2428@reddit
Wow, here we have a perfect example of hungarian kindness
ustestheusless@reddit
Im actually here right now, and am actually shocked at how expensive it is. We are actually cutting our trip short by a day. Its outrageous. We are from the USA, and its more expensive here then home. I have been to 65+ countries and this has been one of the worst price wise. I found Germany, France, and the UK to be more affordable (but still expensive!) Im womdering if it has to do with the conversion rates? I had many friends tell me Hungary was very cheap, but they have not been here in many years. We didnt do most of the activities on our list here due to the crazy prices. Its also a holiday weekend here, and I feel like prices are inflated. The baths for example say on their website that the prices this weekend only are higher.
Direct_Program2982@reddit
THANK YOU. I've never understood Hungarians claiming we're great hosts. Not trying to be rude, but even as a Hungarian I don't enjoy going to restaurants because we as a nation don't know how to be non-judgemental and friendly to strangers. Many people feel they have to fake politeness because they cannot be sincerely polite. The staff being stressed out due to working multiple jobs and long hours isn't making it any better. I'm not trying to say the staff is at fault, but we as a nation really have to look inside and see ourselves for who we really are.
I can honestly agree with your feedback, and I hope you managed to enjoy the city despite your negative experiences. Hopefully with recent changes economic stability will soon follow, burnout rates and strees level will reduce. I hope even if by chance if you return in the future you will be able to experience the city fully.
pip25hu@reddit
Hungarian customer service has a problem with a lack of personnel. Many who are good at their job have (you guessed it) left to work in Western countries. Some restaurants in seasonal places like Lake Balaton cannot open simply because they can't find enough staff. So they often simply do not have the luxury of hiring only capable people and have to put up with what they have.
MisterB330@reddit
I visit Hungary regularly from the US. Not just Budapest. Learning some basic Hungarian phrases has never hurt my chances at getting great service. Also, if you spend your time in the capital city that is now ripe for tourism because it was touted as so cheap and still amazing they caught on and raised the price. You can still get amazing Gulyás for 1400-1800huf
grinder0292@reddit
I lived in Hungary as a German for 12 years, married a Hungarian, learned the language and now also am Hungarian. It’s true that many many (not all of course) hubgariabs are super judgemental and plain rude or assholes. Especially compared to Germany. The more you speak the more you realise. Still hundreds of thousands of great people there as well
sebesbal@reddit
Strange, as a Hungarian I felt the same about Germans. The Brits are nice, and I also found the French nice despite the stereotypes, but I struggle to see big differences in this regard between Germany and Hungary. Of course, there are big regional differences, and also a big city vs. countryside effect.
grinder0292@reddit
It’s extremely regional in Germany. In Hungary it’s more generational.
mico9@reddit
Having a place at Balaton and having it run profitably by underpaid workers is not a right. Since Covid everyone knows better than to believe these folks so yes, they might have problems hiring but there’s a history to it and it’s not just money.
TechnoBacon55@reddit
“Great host” is not defined by underpaid wage workers in fucking tourist trap shit restaurants in the capital lmaoooo
Hopeful_Addition7834@reddit
You can be sure these people treat other Hungarians at least as bad as they treat you, maybe that including their own family.
I am originally from Hungary, and I know many people are rude, but I can still be surprised when I visit home.
SwimmingTennis5323@reddit
Restaurant only for tourist!
convnetto@reddit
And now they even have a decent government finally!
Lucky-Surround-1756@reddit
Yes, Hungarians are a bit grumpy. It's part of the charm once you get used to it. You're right with the fact that younger generations are a bit more posittive and friendly.
We've had ridiculous inflaton unfortunately. It used to be a cheaper place but now it's price is on par with the rest of europe but without the earning. I suspect this was the main reason the long running fidesz government ultimately lost.
I've been to Getto Gulyas and the meal was fantastic, so I'm surprised you didn't like it. Perhaps it's just not to your taste? Or maybe you got a bad batch.

being grumpy is not a charm

Strange, I was in Budapest for three days at the beginning of May, but I didn’t encounter bad treatment anywhere, quite the opposite, actually. Everywhere, people spoke perfectly understandable English and were very helpful. It really was expensive, though, and not just in the tourist areas.

Great and timely info - Danke! We're leaving for Budapest on June 1st! Rgds from Canada.
Sweet_Brief6914@reddit
Hey, fantastic photos, may I ask what camera/phone you've used to take them?
Regarding your points:
Hungarians are by default introverted and so incredibly honest. It is out of character for most Hungarians here to smile at strangers, speak to strangers, or overall be easygoing around strangers, unfortunately, customer service is not an exception, the only thing I found to help that helps with getting through those layers is to speak the language, be kind, and have an honest conversation with them, not about the weather, not about the day, no, actual something valuable and honest. I have many nice conversations with many customer service people with the most poker face ever in broken Hungarian and English whenever I go out, and they deeply appreciate it. Comment on their products, say how much you love Hungarian food, comment on the city....etc.
Not really, the touristic spots are insanely expensive, I'm talking district 6 and anywhere near it, inflation screwed up a lot of industries, prices went up from 2018 to 2022 or so, as far as I can see, they stayed the same since, at least my expenses stayed the same.
Literal trash, there are many other places like this in the Jewish District, I really laugh at anyone who wants to go to there to eat anything, most expensive food ever + the lowest quality ever, for food, literally anywhere but that district, but oh well 😃 next time!
Fukin_Slayer666@reddit
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you liked the city itself. Reacting to the cons, it makes me sad that you were treated like this. And yeah, that's why I, as a local guy don't like going to places in downtown Budapest. I would still encourage you to return, and you should try businesses in the outer districts / suburbs, because waiters are much more polite there, at least with Hungarians. And the prices are definitely lower. Of course places like Vigadó are a "mandatory activity" when visiting Budapest, but there are many cheaper and sometimes more authentic options.
RT023@reddit
Stayed there for a week, eating 3 meals a day in restaurants and never experienced bad customer service once. Not dismissing your experience, just giving mine.
Ok-Escape-2795@reddit
May i add some of your points in my website?
https://hungaryguide.online/
royalsine@reddit
The point about prices gets across as a bit tonedeaf, the exact reason services in downtown have the same prices as in Germany is because of all the western european, US and Australian tourists likr you coming to Budapest and gentrifying it (your “cheap” accomodation was also probably some local’s flat until the airbnb price boom pushed them out of it)
sebesbal@reddit
I wouldn't call this tone-deaf. The poster is a tourist, they view the situation from that perspective, and as a tourist you expect lower prices when you go somewhere with 50%+ lower wages. For example, I found restaurants in Athens very cheap for the quality, which I can't really say about Budapest. Athens is not any less touristy either.
Aranka_Szeretlek@reddit
Tja, but its not necessarily only downtown services that cost the same. Nornal supermarket food items, public transportation, and, yes, housing and hotels are the same price as in Germany.
royalsine@reddit
I’m doing my master’s in Germany atm, and you’re right about supermarket prices as Germany has one of the most competitive markets for groceries, but housing and hotels are DEFINITELY not the same price
NataschaTata@reddit
Huh, we pay almost 400K for a flat almost in Ujpest for just about 50sqm. Prices for housing has gone crazy since 2020. Recently bought a flat and I could have bought a nice house with that money in most of Germany. And going to a restaurant in Ujpest is also a bank breaker unfortunately.
awkward-reptile@reddit
What! I currently pay 500K for a 100sqm flat next to the Gellert hotel. Your flat seems quite overpriced.
NataschaTata@reddit
That’s about what you get in Angyalföld. It’s a recent build of 2021 and includes parking garage and storage space. Obviously 400K also includes all costs. But that’s still insane, considering we’re paying 250K a month for our loan.
Aranka_Szeretlek@reddit
Ehh. Depends on what you compare to what. Out of curiosity, Ive checked Novotel Szeged for a random night in June, it is 75 euros. Same night, Novotel Frankfurt 83, Cologne 87. I myself sleep in hotels quite a lot in both countries, and the price was always easily comparable. I currently work in a small southwestern German city, and part of the reason I moved there is that houses were cheaper than my original hometown, Veszprem.
SerIstvan@reddit
It really depends where in Germany. Compare Budapest to Munich and it is a lot more affordable. But there are definitely places in Germany where rents are far cheaper than here
Western-Procedure-36@reddit
Yes, as a Hungarian, we had the highest inflation in the EU, and everything become very expensive especially in food stores.
sebesbal@reddit
About rude waiters and stuff, there is something to it, but I'm not sure if it's really worse than in Germany or Vienna. I've spent a lot of time in both places. It might be more about the actual place you visit. For example, don't expect sophisticated manners at Lehel piac.
cookiecatmonsterr@reddit
Sooo cute
But the bad things are a spiral of others.
Like of course we are rude and not that helpfull, because everything is expensive. And since things are expensive, we raise prices and things gets way expensive, we become way rude
And a ton of hungarians dosen't like gulyás at all
pickcell@reddit
fair, but to defend our gen z workers they don't know how to talk to you so be gentle with them
littlefluffypenguin@reddit (OP)
Maybe it didn't come across in my post but I actually loved the Gen Z workers! They were certainly the nicest and most helpful people with lots of recommendations and we even chitchatted, which I certainly didn't expect!
pickcell@reddit
I am sorry, normally people have problems with them. Then like others said low income, bad prospects, cost of living slowly destroyed our service industry's hospitality. Appreciate the great pictures and loved your review. Getto Gulyas is overpriced, overhyped but sometimes you can eat some good stuff there as well. :)
grinder0292@reddit
Gen Z is the by far most open minded and positive generation Hungary ever came up with
pickcell@reddit
can't agree more!
No_Diver4265@reddit
Bad no #2: This has been our life for years now and it's not getting any better. This, I think, is probably the main reason the voters finally sent Orbán packing in April. Not for some lofty reason like principles and human rights and democracy. But because the cost of living crisis has become so bad that even the apolitical, indifferent, "it's good enough as it is, I don't care" Hungarian voter has finally had enough.
bubbleboat0010@reddit
Your first bad feedback is kind of explained by your second tbf.

Significant_Stop723@reddit
As a Hungarian, I couldn’t agree more about the service industry. When I visit, every time I meet these incredibly rude waiters/servers/baristas then they push into your face the 20% tipping terminal or they just add the thieving “service” charge. I won’t even go places anymore where service charge exists.
Macho_Magyar@reddit
I was exposed to Budapest for the first time in summer 2000. Coming from Mexico, the clerk's rudeness was one of the toughest experiences I endured. I learned not to care about it and myself maturing made me understand that clerks and people may have their problems and it's fine if I don't get a smile from them all the time. The one attitude I have received and still don't and won't tolerate is when some of these people cross a line and are openly rude and insulting. It has happened just a few times and it makes me feel sad for them.
Responsible-Bed2312@reddit
Agree with some of your points, but no way restaurants cost same in Budapest as in western Europe.
There is roughly 30% mark-up in big German cities, or Vienna. For example a meal which would cost around €50 in Budapest (Michelin recommend restaurant, which is high end, locally sourced but not fine dining) will cost €70 in Berlin and maybe €100 in Paris. Even Michelin starred restaurants in Budapest are cheaper than western European counterparts. You can regularly find luch for €10 in working hours. In Germany it's more like €15.
SoftDependent1088@reddit

MrLumie@reddit
My experience as a local is that customer service is usually perfectly normal, cold and distant happens, but servers were generally polite and helpful wherever I went. It may have been the language barrier, as I know for a fact that English is rarely spoken with confidence, even if they know the language well enough.
As for the prices, well. Things have gotten a lot more expensive in the past couple of years. We have essentially caught up to the west, just not in the way we wanted to.
Other than that, happy you liked the city. It certainly has a rich history, and some astonishingly beautiful architecture. I hope your mishaps with customer service didn't spoil your experience entirely, my experience is that it's not like that normally.

smartskirt@reddit
On customer service: many Hungarians, especially those in relatively low-paid jobs, either do not speak foreign languages or speak them only at a basic level. Even when they do speak some English, they are often very anxious about using it. Younger staff in Irish pubs, by contrast, usually do not have this barrier.
What may have come across as rudeness could therefore have been anxiety. They may have tried to avoid serving an English-speaking customer, and when that was not possible, they kept the conversation to an absolute minimum to avoid making mistakes, and tried to get out of the situation asap. They may simply not have had the vocabulary for small talk or for using more polite, nuanced phrases.
I am not trying to excuse genuinely rude behaviour, but my experience as a Hungarian is that, if I treat cashiers or other staff as human beings (greeting them, thanking them for their help, and not blaming them personally when a request cannot be fulfilled) they generally do not respond with unsolicited rudeness.
UnexpectedToken-@reddit
Well, I have to disagree with you on this. As a Hungarian living most of my life in the central areas of Budapest in the last 5-10 years I experience more and more ignorance and relative rudeness from customer service in general, let it be waiters in a resturant, servers in a pub or cafe, or cashiers in shops.
I always treat these people with respect, saying hello, asking nicely, but often receive blunt, bored looks and absolute minimal service attitude.
I got to the point, as far as I can I only visit restaurants ran by foreigners, Asians, Mexicans, whatever, there most of the time I can still experience how good customer service should work.
Intrepid_Ad_260@reddit
It all depends of how you treat each person really..
As a romanian i found that some hungarians are still buthurt by some historical things, however 90% of my interactions with hungarians were pleasant regardless of age.
With older people i communicated by signs and smiles (cashier)
That 10% on interactions that were not pleasant were with people around in the first part of their 20s that are rude in every country usually in restaurants (waiters)
utsuriga@reddit
Nice try, but frankly, as a Hungarian - no, most of that rudeness was the people being genuinely rude, not just tourists but to everyone. Taking frustration out on customers is an age-old tradition in Hungary, just the other day I wrote some examples I witnessed of people working in very tourist-heavy areas being immensely rude to tourists, those were only a very little slice of all the shit I've seen (and experienced).
sandiadelsol@reddit
Especially if you use a few hungarian words, something many foreigners don't even try to do. Saying szia köszönöm and viszlát isn't too hard I believe
Interesting_Prune513@reddit
Yes sadly the people working in hospice and restaurants are fed up with their jobs, but they are dumb and can't find anything else :( i also always talk about this with my dad when we go out to eat, that in foreign countries they realize that this drives the business, and they can't afford to be rude, if they behaved like that, nobody would go back. Sadly they just want their money, they dont care if the bar or restaurant is empty, thats actually good because then they have less work. Being rude has no negative consequence on them, because the owner of the restaurant isnt actually there, they dont see how negatively it affects their business. Very sad and short sighted mentality from us!

Happy that you enjoyed it, its a known issue that people in the service industry dunno how to behave, its because they still get customers and not everyone stands up for themselves like you did.
