Malév Collapse Hurting Budapest Hotels
"The number of guests in Budapest’s five-star hotels has fallen since state airline Malév stopped flying on February 3, according to Magyar Hotel Monitor. Higher prices could not offset the 20-25% decline in the number of guests.

One factor is the absence of transfer passenger guests.

The hotels expect the lower room occupancy to last until April or May.

Occupancy rates at four-star hotels fell 5% in February, where room prices remained stable."
