So, you’ve just arrived in Budapest, ready to explore its ruin bars, thermal baths, and historical architecture, but there’s one problem: where to store your luggage. We’ve all dealt with the common struggle: you have free time to explore the city before your check-in or you have a late flight after check-out and don’t want to carry your bags with you.
Luckily, Budapest has plenty of luggage storage options that solve this problem, so you don’t have to drag your suitcase over cobblestones. In this guide, we break down all the left luggage services in Budapest, so you can roam the city without that extra weight.

Best for: travelers with a tight budget looking for the most affordable option.

Pricing starts at 3,10€/bag.

⚠️ Things to keep in mind
- Opening hours vary – Not all locations are open 24/7, so check before booking.
- Not all locations are equally secure – Read reviews for each location before choosing one.
- Luggage is often left unattended – Your bags might not be in a monitored or locked area.
3. Luggage Lockers in Budapest
Best for: travelers who prefer self-service lockers or looking for 24/7 storage options.
Traditional luggage lockers are another option. Budapest has several locations where you can rent lockers, usually for a few hours or a full day.
Luggage Storage at Budapest Train Stations
If you’re traveling by train, you can find self-service luggage lockers in all of Budapest’s main railway stations: Keleti Station, Nyugati Station, and Déli Station. Be aware that they tend to fill up fast during high season and some of them are coin-operated, so you need to have cash in hand.
Pricing varies depending on the station, locker size, and time of storage.
Budapest City Center Lockers
There are also independent luggage lockers scattered around Budapest, from businesses like Stow Your Bags, Budapest Luggage Storage, LocknGo, and Budapest Lockers. You’ll usually find them in tourist-heavy areas like near St. Stephen’s Basilica or Deák Ferenc Square. Check on Google Maps for luggage lockers near you.
Pricing varies depending on locker size and duration.
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
- No reservations – Some locations don’t allow online pre-booking.
- Size limitations – Large suitcases may not fit inside smaller lockers.
- Unattended storage – Some places have surveillance, but no staff monitoring your luggage.
4. Luggage Storage at Budapest Airport
Best for: long layovers.
If you’re in a hurry, Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport does have a left luggage service on the arrivals floor. It’s not the most convenient option if you plan to stay in Budapest, but it works if you have a long layover.
Pricing starts at 7,35€ for 4 hours.
5. Luggage Storage at Hotels & Hostels in Budapest
Best for: a free option if you’re staying at a hotel that offers this as a complementary service.
Most hotels and hostels offer luggage storage for guests after check-out free of charge. Some hotels will even store bags for non-guests for a small fee. Ask the front desk if they can hold your bags for a few hours before your check-in or after your check-out.
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
- Availability depends on the hotel’s policy.
- In the case of Airbnbs or other vacation rentals without a front desk, they don’t usually have a luggage storage option.
