Top Budapest Hotel Reviews

Corinthia Budapest

Corinthia Budapest

10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous property . 99/100 My only small complaint was the maintenance man had to come to stop the water from recirculating in the bathroom but he was there within 5 minutes and it was fixed Gorgeous property, delicious breakfast, lobby was stunning, staff was extremely attentive and did everything they could to make things simple for the guests. As an American we are told that Europeans aren’t always the friendliest - this is simply not the case - the people of Budapest and the hotel staff did everything they could to inform you about the city and the best places to visit etc … from what I was told Johnny Depp was actually at the hotel on Tuesday . It was a great time and I would highly recommend rebooking"

Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center

8/10 Good
"This property, once outstanding, now shows signs of wear and would benefit from targeted maintenance. The staff remains exceptionally helpful and attentive throughout the stay. Guest rooms are spacious and furnished in a classic style; however, the carpets require more thorough cleaning, and the air-conditioning units need better calibration to cope effectively with summer heat. Several minor, easily addressable issues currently prevent this hotel from delivering an excellent overall experience. With modest improvements, the property could readily return to its former high standard."
