Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport lies 16km south-east of the city centre and handles a growing volume of international traffic, driven partly by Ryanair and Wizz Air’s strong presence here. Official airport parking is reasonably priced but still adds up on longer trips. Three hotels near the airport cover budget, mid-range, and premium park and fly options, all with shuttle services.
How it works
Book your hotel and parking package through Aerfortel. Drive to the hotel the evening before your flight, park in the designated hotel spaces, and check in. The hotel shuttle takes you to the terminal on departure day. Return transfers work the same way from arrivals. Your car stays in the hotel car park for the full duration of your trip.
Hotels with park and fly at Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport
Marriott Budapest Airport
Two kilometres from the terminal with a shuttle, the Marriott Budapest Airport is the premium option here. Four stars and full Marriott service: well-equipped rooms, a restaurant, and efficient staff. Budapest airport hotels tend to be more affordable than equivalent properties at Western European airports, so the Marriott here represents genuinely good value for the quality on offer. The shuttle is reliable and covers the distance without fuss.
Holiday Inn Express Budapest Airport
At 1.5km from the terminal with a shuttle, the Holiday Inn Express sits at the budget end of the 3-star bracket. The Express format is efficient: decent rooms, breakfast included in most rates, and a straightforward check-in process. For travellers taking Ryanair or Wizz Air from Budapest and wanting a cheap night with parking included, this hits the right balance of cost and comfort.
ibis Budapest Airport
The ibis at 1.0km is the closest of the three to the terminal and also the cheapest. Two stars with a shuttle service, it delivers the ibis formula: clean, functional rooms at the lowest possible price point. For travellers who want to minimise spending on the pre-flight night and are happy with simple accommodation, the ibis Budapest Airport is a sensible pick.

Frequently asked questions
Is parking expensive at Budapest Airport?
Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport parking is reasonably priced by Western European standards, reflecting Hungary’s generally lower cost of living. That said, for trips of a week or more the daily fees add up, and a hotel park and fly package remains competitive. The ibis package in particular often undercuts official airport parking for medium-length trips.
Which terminal does Budapest Airport use?
Budapest Airport operates from a single terminal building (Terminal 2), which was expanded in recent years. All carriers use the same building. This simplifies the park and fly shuttle process, as there is no question of which terminal drop-off to use.
Can I take the 100E bus from Budapest Airport instead of a hotel shuttle?
The 100E bus runs between the airport and Budapest city centre (Deak Ferenc ter) and is a useful option for those travelling light. However, if you have a car parked at a hotel, the hotel shuttle is the practical choice. The 100E does not stop at the airport hotels.
Is Budapest a good hub for onward flights to Eastern Europe?
Yes. Wizz Air and Ryanair use Budapest as a base for routes across Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz in particular operates an extensive network from here, making Budapest Ferenc Liszt a useful departure point for travellers from Hungary and the wider region.
