How to avoid turbocharged Budapest taxis ?
Hi guys, I will be in Budapest from September 20 - 25, but as have only been there once before would appreciate any insider info regarding a hotel and taxi transport from the airport.
I want a hotel with a pool, not more than approx € 120 a night. So far I have found 3 apparently downtown like this Hotel Gellert, Kleopatra appartments and Adina appartments (OK, these are not really hotels !), does anybody have any experience with any of these, or can you reccoment me another,
3-5 star hotel, downtown, with a pool ideally, maybe with a good weekend rate.
Also, as I am arriving late on the Wednesday night, I guess I will have to get a cab form the Airport to Downtown, but the only time I was in Budapest before I had the dreaded turbocharged taxi metre experience ! Cost me a fortune to go a few kilometres ! So what is the deal with getting airport taxis, any particular companies I should use, rules I should follow.
Would really appreciate any advice you Budapest experts may have !

The Rich and Old Club, located just opposite the Basilica, next door to the Box Utca Cafe, really next door, 2 meters left beside the cafe, ring the bell and they will be happy to open the door for you. Up to three girls are working there everyday until 1 am. Prices start from 10.000 for a single pop. (Report Gene Simmons)
REASONABLE STRIP/LAPDANCE CLUBS: (no rip-offs reported)
Marilyn, city center, lap dance club, with take-out service, no overpriced scams which is typical of BUD. Been there, sometimes good looking women, most of the time too big/fat for my taste.
[url]http://www.hallobar.hu/?static=lanyok[/url] – no experience myself, but read on the forum that take-out is not available
CandyShop – never been there, but seems to be ok, no idea if take-out is available
CLUBS WITH TAKE OUT SERVICE:
Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal. They have a night club in the basement, Royal Club. Everytime I was there I could choose from a number of beauties. Though not cheap, 150 - 200 euro. (Report Gene Simmons).

I confirm that the right place is Szabadkai and Gubacsi str. Next to Soroksari, much easier to find.
But you will find some sw also in Ulloi ut, or turn to Dioszegy utca.

Thank you for the advice about all the Budapest scams
I went out for a walk tonight on my own here in Pest to see what kind of action is out there and in the span of about 10 minutes attracted 2 scams that I was warned about on this site. So, thanks guys for the warning.
First attempted scam was the well-dressed man who wants to show me all the best strip clubs. You'd have to be pretty desperate and/or naive to fall for that one...
Second one was 2 girls sitting together who strike up a conversation and then ask you to go for a drink. They were cute and all and looked easy. And I'm horny. So if I hadn't read about how that scam works here on this board, I might have gone for it.
I'm thinking about calling one of the escort agencies and if I do I'll post about it.

I have been through the escort websites exhaustively, this is the full list I have come up with of sites worth checking out.

Hope you like the way I have listed them, pretty tidy looking !
Last night tried to phone a few ladies from the websites and only got about 1 in 5 who could speak English, which quite worries me (average price tended to be about 10,000 hungarian). So I was wondering, I would like to hire somebody, ie young open minded guy possibly, to phone ladies for me and arrange appointments when I am there. Maybe somebody knows someone, or some eager Hungarian is reading this, or can point me towards a useful website where I could procure such a service ? Or maybe some guy in my hotel would love to take this job from me, what do you reckon ? It's a simple task, so will only be offering a reasonable compensation. Please PM me if you have anny ideas on this.
Vandalnn, thanks a million for all your advice, for both Budapest and Warsaw ! I think I will check out Budapest first though since it would be a shame to waste the ticket I already bought before Warsaw cam into my thoughts. Also I have met a stunner from Hungary who I hope to meet up with, and since I never got a decent summer break, assume the weather will be slightly better there in September than in Warsaw.
Cheers guys !

The Younger the better (the deal)?
Hello to you all!
After having read extensively past reports on Budapest, I have a couple of questions that I would like the more experienced gentlemen to answer (VandalInn and Gene Simmons if you hear me...):
1- About 'The Rich and Old Club', the starting price of 10.000 HUF was mentionned. How far does that get you (time and activities wise)? Are tips the way to go for extra favours or should everthying be discussed prior to the moment when one is left alone with the girl of choice?
2- I'm 25, very tall, slim and sporty and have my fair share of success with young ladies, regardless of location. Why am I writing this? As mentionned above I'm quite keen to pay a visit to TROC or some other place while in Budapest for work. I wanted to know if my youth and relatively attractive features would help ease the burden on my wallet or if this is foolish daydreaming.
Bonus question: any bars/clubs recommended for some Monday/Tuesday evening action (thinking of freebees here)? It looks as Cuba Libre is closed those evenings.
Thanks a million!
The Tall Stranger
