4. Lion’s Locker
This luggage storage is ideal for those who’ve always been afraid of losing their keys. Lion’s Locker is the first of its kind in downtown Budapest that provides lockers with numeric codes. No keys, no stress – just don’t forget the numbers. For the usual price of 1 euro / hour / piece of luggage, or 5 euros / day / piece, you can access your locker as many times as you want without additional fees. They also offer free Wi-Fi, boarding pass printing, and suitcase weight measurement.
5. Urban Lobby luggage storage
Specifically made for digital nomads, Urban Lobby’s social area has many faces and functions from a co-working space to a next-gen luggage storage. The self-service lockers are fully automated and completely secure with two locker sizes to suit the needs of all kinds of travelers. On the flip side, the prices are bit heftier here than at most other luggage storages of Budapest. Depending on the time period (2-24 hours), you can store your smaller bag (50x50x30cm) for 4-12 euros, and your big suitcase (80x60x30cm) for 10-30 euros.
6. Railway station lockers
For tourists travelling by train, the easiest way of storing their luggage is near the platforms. Budapest has three main railway stations (Nyugati, Keleti, and Déli), all of which are equipped with self-service lockers. They are open as long as the station itself, which means that you can drop off and pick your bags pretty much all day and most of the night, but make sure to check the closing hours as stations in Budapest are not open 0-24.
- Nyugati Railway Station: inside the waiting hall, near platforms 14-17
- Keleti Railway Station: next to platform 9
- Déli Railway Station: inside the passengers’ hall, next to the international ticket office
7. 24h self-storage lockers
If you plan to pull an all-nighter in Budapest and need a luggage storage that’s open 0-24, go for automated lockers. They open from the street, so you don’t need to worry about the opening hours of tourist offices, malls, or railway stations. They often operate on full capacity, so it’s good news that there are quite a few locations in downtown Budapest. Go for the red paint and you can’t go wrong.
