From Budapest Airport

Coming from the Budapest Airport you can take the Budapest Airport Minibus service, which costs 2300 HUF per person. The Minibus brings you to the hotel. If you take a cab, ask for the fare in advance. Normal fares to Balassi Gellért-Hill Guesthouse are between 5500 and 6500 HUF.

You should book an airport transfer in advance in case you don't want to wait for other passengers to be taken to their destinations before you, and would prefer to have a more personal transportation service on reasonable prices. This way your private English-speaking driver will be waiting for you with a sign at the information desk (in case your flight arrives late you won't have to announce anybody - the company keeps in touch with the airport and knows about delays and changes), and will take you directly to your hostel as soon as possible.
