Szent Kristóf Panzió

Top choice in Esztergom


A stone's throw from the basilica, this central guesthouse is run by a kind host and is popular with cycling groups (there's secure storage in a garage). Rooms and apartments vary in size – the smallest doubles will see you consigned to the attic like Mr Rochester's mad wife – but all are spotless, with hardwood floors and flowery touches. Hearty breakfast included.
