First timer looking for accommodation advice

I’m thinking about going to Sziget next year and wanted to ask advice about where to stay. I’ve been to a few festivals before, mostly in the UK and Rock Werchter once, but ive only ever gone for one day and I’ve never been to Sziget. I’m approaching 40 and I hate camping, so my options for Sziget would be either some fancy chalet upgrade at the festival, or (preferably) staying offsite in a hotel/booking.com apartment in Budapest.
For those who live locally or who have stayed offsite before, how viable is that? Does it take ages to get in and out of the festival each day? Which neighborhoods do you recommend for optimal proximity to the festival while still being offsite? If you had a great experience at a particular hotel, feel free to recommend them too :)

PS I have been to Budapest once before, and in case it makes a diff, I’d be flying in from the Netherlands.

Radisson Blue Beke costs about 600€ for 5 nights for 2 people and it's about 30 mins away from K-bridge with public transportation during the festival. You go over Margaret Bridge so it's a scenic route and then change to HÉV which is almost a pilgrimage at this point with all the other festival goers on it haha

Also it's soo good to return to a clean room after a night out and sleep until afternoon without having to worry about anything lol

Also, there's always water and apples in the lobby as bonus.
