Good: very central in Pest. Metro right outside. plenty of options to eat in the area. clean. decent breakfast

Good: The location and ambiance. Bad: Nothing

Good: So central. Excellent breakfast. Lovely staff

Good: The location of this hotel is excellent very central and close to restaurants and transport. It was very easy to get around on public transport and there was a transport hub close by. Our room was extremely spacious and very well soundproofed. The bed was very comfortable and we had a lovely comfortable chair and table. There was a fridge in the room and also tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was included and was very good with lots of choice for everyone. Bad: The curtains were very flimsy and let in the daylight- would have preferred better quality curtains to ensure the room was darker.

I love the authenticity of the hotel. But it does need some renovations done. Staff was wonderful. Perfect location.

Good: Location and the ambiance Bad: The lobby smells to sewage

Good: Great location, very nice and helpful staff, clean, quiet.

Danubius is a renovated old building, a little old fashioned but comfortable. The staff wasn't very friendly, maybe due to a language barrier. We enjoyed our stay nevertheless. The location is great; practically above the metro and within walking distance of the historic center. They have a restaurant but we didn't eat there.

Danubius Hotel Astoria, in Budapest, has excellent location for visiting major travel attractions within Budapest, because Astoria Station has Metro Line 2 and various Tram lines which connect to major tour sites without any transfer, while visitors can also take Metro subway and reach major train stations easily. Hotel may look old for its building structure and interior design and furniture, but hotel rooms do give classic feeling for their furniture and do provide actual comfort for the visitors. Daily room service is above standard, and the service staffs do provide towel replacement. For staffs at the downstair counter, they are fluent in English, friendly and efficient. If there is anything which I have reservation about the hotel, then it will be its free coffee supply within every room, because it is still old fashion tube-style instant coffee, NOT coffee pod, NOT Drip Coffee. The Hotel does offer buffet breakfast service at its restaurant, Café Astoria, and I do enjoy its variety of mixed nuts, vegetable, bakery, fruit selections, but I love the most is its oatmeal which is properly cooked and NOT too light or thick. In addition, waiters and waitresses are friendly and fast to clean the table and help the visitors for coffee and juice….

Good: The location was great. It's an antique hotel very charming. Breakfast was ok Bad: Some areas of the hotel are in need of renovation. The housekeeping service was terrible. They didn't clean the room or restock the coffee packets.

Well located and helpful staff

Good: Excellent location, in the center of Budapest, close to main attractions & facilities, all close by walking. Room was spacious and very comfortable Breakfast was very good, with a large variety of food to choose from Bad: The room was on the 2nd floor on the main road with bothering noise coming from the traffic. The tap of the sink in the bathroom was hard to open, it was replaced the day after. The mattresses of he bed were too soft and not very comfortable

The hotel is designed absolutely amazing and the room was very comfortable, the service was nice but some workers were a bit rude(nothing too dramatic) the location is also great

Good: Very central to everything, clean and bright. Bed extremely comfortable.

Good: Great location above the Astoria Metro Station, excellent facilities and friendly staff. Nice restaurant Bad: No complaints

I recommend this historic hotel in Budapest. Situated just a few blocks from the impressive Hungarian history museum and very close to really nice cafes and restaurants. The hotel is vintage but nevertheless lives up to its 4 star level by offering the services that go accordingly. We stayed in a regular room in the 6th floor and had a lovely view of the avenue and city. The front desk team is number one, they efficiently checked you in and take care of every need. My husband and I needed 2 extra pillows and an anti slip mat for the shower, and they were there in our room upon our return from day long tour. I also complained about the single bed mattresses not being hard enough, well they had replaced them with better ones too. Our housekeeper kept our room perfectly clean and cared for. Excellent job! The restaurant team was also very attentive to our needs. We tried just a snack there. The duck liver paté, the national cold Tocai wine and a most delicious strawberry rhubarb soup! We slept so well. Truly recommend the hotel. It has a art deco style & very nice color choices.

Good: Nice traditional Hungarian hotel in the center of the city. I chose a non renovated room to get the old Soviet style feeling

Good: Location is so central, next to all means of transportation and main attractions. The room was big and the provided water complimentary. Bad: The hotel is so old, not just the vibe but even the rooms.

Good: The location was perfect. The hotel was clean and comfy but old. The staff were helpful. Bad: The only issue was that the curtains did not have any backing, and as soon as the sun came up, we were woken by the light. They need thicker curtains. It would have also been nice to have an English speaking TV station.

Good: Great location & spacious room

Good: Location Bad: Food

Great location for walking to attractions, and Metro just outside the door. They did not offer the 20% off discount when I dined in their Cafe Astoria, but then again, I did not insist.

Good: Location & people nice Process simple Bad: No room service facilities

Central location near a subway stop; historic ambiance; excellent breakfast; restaurant was pleasant and handy

Good: The location near metro / tram / bus and close to danube Nice building - clean rooms Bad: Breakfast ok, but always the same, and coffee difficult to get. Entrance and windows not very clean, but ok

Good: The vintage style, like living inside a movie from 1920's Bad: .

Good: Great location and friendly staff. decent breakfast and comfortable rooms

Good: What is not to like. Great location very helpful conscientious staff great shower central location to transportation clean good sized rooms. Hot water for tea coffee in room. Our room 350 was quiet. Good breakfast. Bad: Could use blackout curtain in room. Breakfast menu could change a bit each day. Chairs and tables in lobby could be taller to accommodate taller people. Area where games or cards can be provided and played. Smart TV where we can access Netflix etc. Or TV in different languages.

Good: Breakfast & Metro access were excellent

Good: Best location, helpful and lovely staff in reception, room service and breakfast room.

Good: Great location, amazing staff. The hotel was quirky with old world charm. I would totally recommend it. Bad: Zero, loved everything

Good: All good

Good: Property was very well maintained, it was also very close to the square, 10-15 minute walk. Breakfast was great and staff were very accommodating

Good: Everything, and it was local to all amenities and sightseeing Bad: We had a room with a balcony it was a bit noisy

Good: Right on top of Astoria metro and the airport bus stops right outside the front door. Not the centre of town but pretty close and better priced. Nice clean room and the hotel is vintage but clean and well maintained I thought. Good value. Bad: Nothing really.

Good: Beautiful ambiance. Location is excellent. Huge rooms. Bad: Some plumbing issues. Shower worked fine, but most water was not diverted to shower head. Wasteful. Also, there is an odor at times. You need to be sure run water through bidet so that loop seal/trap works as intended. Then it is fine.

Good: Historical and big rooms. Close to Aldi to buy waters and forgotten items. Bad: Breakfast was a bit boring being same every day. Coffee was not good at all

Good: Excellent choice of breakfast foods available, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely return. Bad: N/A

I love this hotel. Convenient to the sites: only steps away from the Astoria Metro. The restaurant has a great menu for when you’re just too tired to go out again. And the breakfast buffet has got to be one of the best… In the world!!

Good: The locqtion waa very good.

Good: Location was perfect, within walking distance of many tourist attractions, and adjacent to a metro station. In addition, the airport bus heading downtown had a stop right next to the hotel. Room was big and clean, bed was comfortable. I had everything I needed including a TV, a bathtub and a kettle. Bad: In my opinion the hotel was a bit expensive (and breakfast wasn’t included).

Good: A great location for exploring..right on the transport links..a lot of sights walking distance..helpful reception staff..

Good: Its an old-fashioned hotel 5 min walk from the center. The breakfast is really good and beautifully served, worth to add on. Bad: If you stay on the first floor it will be loud at night.

Perfectly situated. Hotel beautiful.

Good: Location excellent and size of the room

Good: Location is great!

Good: Location is good, beds were comfortable. Room had a bathtub, witch I love Bad: Arriving at night two lumpy grumpy men received me. Service was minimal and they were annoyed. There was a toenail on the bathroom floor. It took ages to run the bath.

Beautiful hotel - convenient location.

Good: great location Bad: no shower, need to use shower in bathtub . Hard to get in and out of bathtub

Good: Wonderful, traditional atmosphere keeping that Bel Epoch, European charm. Bad: I liked everything. However I found the water pressure in the shower rather weak and a multi function shower head might have been a good idea.

Good: The decoration is nice and room is clean even is historical building. Bad: The WC flush seem not strong enough

Good: Everything

Good: Great location with easy access to transport and main tourist sites. Nice cafe for cocktails and dinner. Interesting history.

Good: Excellent location close to the metro, shopping, river cruises and restaurants

Clean rooms, polite friendly staff. Great location. The furniture, bath towels are a bit worn.

Good: Central in Budapest city center. Beautiful old flair. Breakfast room and cafe (coffee & cakes) were very nice. Friendly staff. Very well known by taxi drivers and metro station very close Bad: quite dusty in the room but bathroom well maintained.

Good: Position for all transport great,ten minute walk to the Danube. Bad: Could be better selection for breakfast.

Good: Lovely, old style building and furniture, very friendly and helpful staff, good location.for sights Good breakfast choices. Bad: The old style Trams were a bit noisy

Good: The whole experience was excellent from the reception staff all the way to the bedroom staff but a special mention to 'Andi ' in the bar she is what you call customer service at its finest ....worth her weight in gold in the catering business... Bad: Left short a fruit tea on our 2nd day did ask for it but there was a breakdown in communications..but far from the end of world

Great location, comfortable and clean rooms.

Good: Beautiful classic large room, comfortable bed, great staff, wonderful breakfast, great central location. Bad: Leaving the hotel

Good: Loved that it was such an old building with history. It was also so close to everything, easy walking. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Overall a good hotel for location and value. However, there was a constant bad smell in the reception area, which is off putting.

It is a heritage hotel situated right in the heart of the city and it has accessibility to all the trams, bus and metro lines. The room was pretty big with a nice balcony . The Jewish quarter and st Stephen's cathedral is walkable. There are also many good places to ear nearby

Good: Very clean hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast and very good cafe/ restaurant. Excellent position. Bad: The room was quite warm, even when aircon on. We did open the window for a while at night but it made it very noisy from the road and teams below.

Good: Location, breakfast, staff, room's size Bad: Noise from the street outside

Good: Location, cleanliness and staff Bad: Nothing

Good: The property is truly a work of art—beautiful both inside and out. We stayed in classic rooms on the 6th floor, and it genuinely felt like stepping back into the 1930s/40s. The décor throughout, along with the exterior architecture, is stunning. Our bedroom was enormous, with a lovely view over the road and street below. While it’s not a scenic view in the traditional sense, at night the lights made it feel really special. The room was also impressively quiet—almost eerily so—which suggests excellent soundproofing. I actually slept so well I nearly missed breakfast! All of the common areas and hallways are equally beautiful, maintaining the building’s historic charm. The lifts are small, in keeping with the era, but still perfectly comfortable to use. The only minor drawback was at busy check-out times in the morning, when the small lift capacity made things a little congested with luggage. We would absolutely stay here again. If I had one small suggestion, it would be that some of the paintwork and minor woodwork in the bedrooms could benefit from a refresh, but this in no way detracted from an otherwise wonderful stay. Its location was also excellent, making it very easy to walk to all the main sights and places of interest. Bad: There really wasn’t much we disliked about the property at all. The breakfast room, like the rest of the hotel, is stunningly beautiful. However, seating can be a bit of a lottery—many of the best spots are taken early, so the earlier you go down, the better your chance of a good table and hotter food. Later in the morning it does get very busy indeed. There is a wide selection of both cooked and cold options, and you will certainly find something to enjoy. That said, the hot food was generally only lukewarm, and I felt the pastries and cakes could have been a little fresher. During peak times, there also wasn’t much staff direction in the breakfast area, which occasionally made finding a table feel a bit chaotic. On the staff side, overall everyone we encountered was lovely and helpful. The only exception was an older male receptionist who came across as quite stern and not especially warm, though this may simply be his natural manner rather than a reflection of service. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in a truly beautiful and atmospheric property. The building itself is stunning, full of character, and immaculately maintained in its public areas, with spacious, comfortable, and wonderfully quiet rooms that really do make you feel as though you’ve stepped into another era.

Good: Location, breakfast, comfy bed

Good: Location. Breakfast. Ease of access to tram and metro. Female receptionists. All excellent Bad: The one male receptionist Charles. He was rude and unhelpful. Our room was not serviced by 4.30 on the first morning. His attitude was ‘tough’. He should learn from the girls who were exemplary.

Good: It's a very classy hotel in the central location! You don't need a car to reach all the main sightseeing places. It is located almost in the Jewish quarter with multiple pubs and restaurants, among which it is possible to find ones with a fine dining experience and reasonable prices.
