Good: The location was perfect, the staff helpful and very nice. Bad: Cleaning crew times were challenging.

Simple great location. ‘Old Budapest’

Good: Central location; easy access to transportation Bad: N/A

Good: Very central location, decor was very nice and a great breakfast in the morning Would definitely stay again Bad: Nothing

Good: The hotel is Located next to a metro station and close to nice bars, restaurants and beautiful buildings. The hotel itself is also very nice! Definitely will go back!

Good: Great hotel excellent location would stay again nice and clean Bad: Nothing

Good: The room was nice. The bed was comfortable and the duvet was plush and warm. The room had air conditioning that maintained a comfortable room temperature despite the summer heat. The lobby is stunning and has a jewellery shop that sells beautiful silver and gemstone jewelry. Bad: Everything in the breakfast buffet tasted good. That being said the selection is adequate but not much more than that. Refills of empty containers also took longer than expected when I was there, but to be fair they were very busy.

Good: Stay here the 2nd time, very good and delicious breakfast nice staff Bad: No

Good: Only the breakfast was not good, others were very good 👍

Great location hotel.

Good: Loved the location and the decor and a good vibe. Breakfast was plentiful and varied The balcony was great Bad: Curtains in one room were a little thin, so light came through

Good: Perfect location and loved the old style Bad: Train rumbling underneath but we knew ro expect that

Good: The hotel had character . Staff helpful . Bad: Bathroom needs upgraded . Dust around carpet needs hovered. Found a beetle running about on my pillow, caught it in a glass and put it down the toilet . It could have flown in from the window being open .

Good: The Breakfast was an experience they managed to combine local cuisine with international flavours and hearty appetising food Bad: When we did a tour of the coty before we disembarked a Rivee Boat we discovered Danubius History from WW2 When I wrote a thank you note to the GM of the hotel . I suggested tgey coukd put together the Hostory of Danubius from the original Owners through to current day explaining that the owners when they were forced to leave Left with nothing except two empty Champagne glasses . The fact it was Nazis HQ would make a great tourist attraction

Thoroughly enjoyed it 2 nights at the hotel

Good: Excellent location, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff

The grand old atmospheric hotel is inevitably a bit jaded after 100 years but right on top of the Metro and easily walkable to most attractions, restaurants and bars and the cafe is an attraction in itself.

Good: Staff very helpful and gracious Bad: Nothing as such

Beautiful hotel at the corner of the city's busiest street but very quite, lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend it

Good: The property had real character and a pleasant atmosphere. Bad: Nothing

Good: The location is excellent in one of the busiest crossings in Budapest. The Astoria metro station is conveniently located outside the door and close to tram stations. The building itself is full of character. Walking distance to Pier 6 if you are taking a boat trip, and also close on foot to most amenities in the city centre. The room and furniture inside look outdated, but everything was very clean. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options to choose from. TV, WiFi, and A/C are working fine. The bed was comfy, and the shower temperature and pressure were great. The staff was very friendly and helped us with tourist information and booking tours. Overall, a great experience.

Good: Absolutely everything!! No faults and would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful historical hotel!

Good: The location is absolutely perfect - many places of interest are within walking distance and there are metro/tram/bus stops (including the airport shuttle) right outside the hotel. The room was clean and spacious and we loved the breakfast. Bad: Our room was terribly noisy. There is a lot of traffic even during the night and with all the roaring engines and wailing sirens you’ll definitely need earplugs.

Good: Location, location, location Bad: It needs a bit of TLC

Good: Perfect location, access to all main areas of the city, great breakfast, really good Bad: Water pressure in the shower was insufficient.

Good: Very spacious room and comfortable bed. We lost an item in the room when checking out, and the staff found it and are now helping its return.

Good and convenient

Good: Room was quite spacious and price was reasonable. Staff was polite and quick to tend to requests. Cleaning performed daily.

Good: Excellent location. Next to Astoria metro station. Airport bus-shuttle stop next to the hotel. Easy to explore the main attractions - all in a walking distance.

Good: Very comfortable and spacious room, central location. Many food options and outlets nearby. Not too far from the river and Central Market

Good: Very handy to canal Cruise dock for our boat boarding Staff were lovely.

Good: The location is perfect. Just 2 minute walk from the metro, bus & trams stops. The team was helpful and kind. I'll return the next time I'm in Budapest!

Good: The architecture is beautiful and the room was comfortable and clean. Great location for getting the metro (m2) and for walking around the city. Bad: Nothing

Good: Great breakfast selection. Perfect central location. Characterful period hotel. Very helpful staff helped to locate and return an item I left behind. Bad: Lots of traffic straight outside and single glazing, but not too bad on a higher floor.

Good: in general all is good, the breakfast is variety. Bad: location

Good: The room was very big and comfortable. 2 closets, mini fridge, 3 big beds. The location is awesome. Close rmro all attractions, near the metro station. AC was just what we needed in July. Change towels everyday. Bad: They don't really clean the room but change the towels every day. A bit noisy since it is located on a main street near the metro station. A low stream of water in the shower And the curtain doesn't block the light into the room.

Good: Fabulous location. Very clean. Comfortable. Bad: A little old fashioned and dated.

Nice hotel! Breakfast was good, not the best. Location was amazing, right next to metro station and in the middle of the city. Still not a lot of noises from the roads. Good air contition. Very beautiful hotel, an old style.

Good: Great location. Super clean and quiet. Staff were very polite and helpful. Highly recommend. Bad: Nothing.

Great location and nice property at a reasonable price.

Very good hotel at excellent location. I'll definitely stay there again when I come next time to Budapest.

An old hotel that has seen better days. We slept in the wing with renovated rooms which were modern and clean. But the level of outside noise was astonishing. Restaurant is old and tired decor makes you not want to eat. Staff was very professional and polite

Love the hotel very nice and loved the look of the hotel very clean and had complementary water which was needed as it was 30° outside always had clean towels and the hotel always helped with getting taxis etc and often got the taxi men to come into the hotel to take us to the car which was something I’ve never experienced

Good: Really great hotel, central location. Beautiful decor... wonderful breakfasts. We were very pleased with our stay.

Good: The location is amazing, the metro stairs is right in front of it. The staff was super nice and friendly! Bad: We booked breakfast for one day and it was ok, some real coffee was missing tho (only option was from machines)

Good: Incredible location, walking distance to most spots you cannot miss in Budapest. Conveniently located next to the metro and tram station so you can easily get over to Buda for sightseeing. The hotel’s staff was friendly and helpful.

Good: Nice hotel, in a convenient location for the town centre. The rooms had air conditioning, which was quiet when set on a low speed. For the size of the room the TV was small and a bit dated, with only 1 UK news channel. It also came with a kettle and fridge, etc. Soundproofing was also very good, as I didn’t hear any noise from outside our room. Very nice choice of both hot and cold selections at breakfast. Bad: TV

It offers the perfect mix of elegance, comfort, and location. The historic charm of the building is impressive, with classic decor and a warm atmosphere. Rooms are clean, cozy, and quiet, and the staff is always helpful and professional. The location is ideal: right in the city center, close to metro, restaurants, and major sights. Breakfast was varied and tasty

An excellent hotel. Very well placed and. Staff were great

Good: the room and the entire ambiance Bad: nothing

Good: Probably the best part about hotel was it's excellent location and great value for money Bad: Nothing in particular

Good: Breakfast was very good. Also we had a dinner one night it was quiet good and there was also live music. Bad: A little bit noisy but this was inevitable since it was near to the Main Street.

“They packed a to-go breakfast for our early flight — so kind!”

Good: Location and clean

Good: Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Old hotel with history and nice style furnishings. Bad: None

Good: Near train and tram station...easy excess to places Bad: The lift quite small for big people

Good: The room and bath room was very spacious. We did like that there was a aircon in the room. The breakfast was very good. The staff was very friendly and help full.

Good: Excellent breakfast with so much choice. I loved the fruit selection each day. The hotel is located near to trams, buses and the metro which was good for getting around the city. The hop on hop off bus stops were also close by. Bad: Our room over looked the road with the cat museum in it. It was quite noisy especially as the refuge collection lorry came early each morning.

Good: Location

Good: Old world charm meets modern rooms (deluxe rooms in the newer part) Good location next to metro & trams & bus Easy walking distance to Danube and most sightseeing locations Bad: The metro station and some of the streets nearby are dirty in places and a few unsavoury types hanging about ..

Good: Great location and building was old but in a good way. I could feel the history everywhere includes entrance, floor and room. Bad: Most of the staff were very nice and helpful. But one staff member was kind of rude and i pretty much felt uncomfortable because of him. But it's just him other staff were amazing.

Good: The facilities were a bit older, but the location of the hotel was amazing—everything was close by, including attractions and sightseeing spots. The bus station was also nearby, so the location gets a solid 100/10. This was our second stay there, and the standard double room was better and bigger than the upgraded superior room. So, I highly recommend

Good: The location. Loved the history of the hotel and the fact that many of the original features remain in the public areas despite wartime issues. This means that the reception area appears rather dark on arrival but opens up into the grand restaurant spaces, which we enjoyed very much. The breakfast buffet was excellent and very well serviced by staff. Loved having a relaxed breakfast with so much choice. Good service at dinner though a limited menu. The lifts to the rooms are super efficient. Our classic room was small but well thought out for a comforatable stay. Loved the bath tub. Our room on the 5th floor faced a quiet street.so no noise issues at night except for the emergency vehicle sirens which are inescapable in Budapest. Bad: The seating in the reception area is very uncomfortable and unattractive . Replacement with something comfortable and brighter is well overdue. The carpet in the room was stained.

Good: We upgraded to a suite which was very good indeed. In general the hotel had good services and the personnel, especially the 2 young people on the front desk and the maitre d in the restaurant in the evening were excellent. The hotel does need a bit of a face lift however. The room furniture and decorations were rather old fashioned and the wall paper in the passages needed changing. However the decor downstairs, including that of the restaurant, gave the ground floor a great feeling of atmosphere: please don't touch any of that !!!ª The breakfast was good: our only complaint was that for some reason or other the water for the tea and coffee was always lukewarm Bad: That there was no room service available

Good: Staff are professiona, polite and helpful. Romm was large, bathtub was big. Brekfast was nice. few seconds to metro station, shops and restaurant near by, very convenient. Bad: I read some review complaining about smell. the reseption area was smell of cleaning liquids in the afternoon, so it was not a big issue. But there are so many rough sleepers at metro station, out side of supermakets next to the hotel, and streets were quite dirty. But it is not only this area, quite everywhere in Budapest.

Love this hotel. I stay here every time I visit Budapest because of the location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

Good "belle epoque" hotel, very well located right in the city centre with excellent connection to the airport.

Good: Service Bad: Nothing

Good: Old world grandeur. Like stepping back in time. Rooms a good size. Clean and comfortable. Amazing location. Bus from the airport, 100E, stops outside.

Good: Staff were very helpful Bad: All good

Good: Great location. Older hotel with lots of character

Good: Central location, metro station was just nearby. Walkable distance to the most important attractions in the city. Very cozy and nice room

Good: Hotel was right in the city centre. Trains, trams and buses were right outside the door (free travel for over-65s). Loved the ambience of this 1913 period hotel - it exuded a lovely old-world charm, yet wonderfully maintained. The "Classic" accommodation rooms were simpler in decor, but very comfortable. Excellent breakfast, and the adjoining restaurant provided a nice (not huge) menu selection for those dining in. The 6th floor had a dedicated ironing room, a convenient touch. Bad: Not really a criticism, but in our "Classic" room, the plumbing hardware in the bathroom was showing its age. But everything worked fine. Otherwise, everything else was in great condition.

A very nice hotel - it's old in style but it's very clean and comfortable. Reception was very helpful and polite when we had an enquiry. It's a perfect place to stay for a few nights (we stayed for three nights). We caught the bus from the airport and it dropped us one minute away from the hotel, and there are many transport links nearby. I would definitely stay there again.

Good: Breakfast good location excellent Bad: Not a lot

Good: Excellent location and breakfast. Staff were very helpful even when the fridge was not working. Bathroom ok. Bad: Tv set needs to be upgraded as sometimes sound went off and screen faded. Breakfast was generally very good but pastry section can be better.

Good: The room is spacious and the location of the hotel is good with lots of restaurants and other facilities around. The breakfast is nice with different types of food and fresh fruits. The restaurant is worth going for dinner as the waiters are nice and helpful and the food is delicious. Bad: The furniture and other facilities in the room are a bit outdated and not clean enough. We have booked six rooms for four nights. Five rooms were normal and acceptable. . One of the rooms, Room 304, guests had a terrible experience about the cleaning work of the room. I can provide photos showing how bad it was. But I can't upload the photos as there are technical problems but I can describe it a bit. The cleaning staff seemed to be in a hurry every time she/he cleaned Room 304 during our period of stay. One day, two clean towels were placed on top of the toilet bowl instead of on the towel shelf. A large blue plastic bag full of rubbish were found lying on the toilet floor. On the second day, two wet towels were found placing on top of a guest's suitcase. The third day, the cover of the rubbish bin was put on the desk, just on top of the guest's ready to eat banana. The mattress in the room was dirty and always rolled up which could cause danger to guests. The cleaning staff forgot to take away her/his key card one day.

Good: The receptionist staff Bad: Nothing

Property was within walking distance to most places for interest. I found some of the staff, quite abrupt and not going to help. Most of them were happy to oblige. I felt that a cleaners, in my room, didn’t do a terrific amount. only clean the sink. I left. My room very tidy and slightly made my bed. When the cleaners came in, my bed was the same as I left it. The breakfast was good, a lot of choice for breakfast. staff was keeping on top of filling all of the food up. Lots of choices. The best time to go was 8 o’clock in the morning. After that time it was too busy. You had to queue up for the coffee machine.

Good: Big rooms , comfy beds , great showers . Fantastic location , lovely helpful staff . Bad: Breakfast was always a bit on the cold side .

Good: Good for families, good location, good staff, good hospitality. Bad: A small wet smell of the room bu i know it is more than 100 years old.

Good: Helpful staff Bad: Nothing everything was on point

Good: What a beautiful hotel. It was a classic early 20th century hotel with excellent staff. Trams, trains and buses outside the door and friendly helpful staff.

Good: Very nice hotel with a great ambiance of the past due to its well preserved impressive internal decorations. The rooms were renovated, clean, spacious and well furnished. The personnel was kind and friendly. The breakfast was excellent, I recommend to try the cafe of the hotel. The hotel is located within walking distance from most points of interest and near an airport bus stop. Definitely we will stay there again.

Good: The stuf was helpfull

Brilliant place. I had a huge room, clean with a super comfortable bed, in traditional style with lovely character. The staff were helpful. The lobby and shared areas of the hotel are lovely. The cafe is simply beautiful. The hotel is literally across the street from the bus stop from the airport, and right by a metro station too. It couldn’t be easier to find. And to top it all off, the price was incredibly reasonable. Honestly I loved it here and wouldn’t hesitate to come again.

I stayed for one night and enjoyed the stay very much. Perfect location, clean and beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful personnel. Good breakfast also! Thank you

Good: Location staff and spacious rooms Bad: Ac works little low but was managed withstanding fan as requested and provided by hotel

Good: Close to city centre Bad: Carpet in the room is a bit dirty

Good: The hotel's location is also central, close to the Danube and a very good standard hotel. The hotel staff is excellent and the food in the morning was good.

Good: great location, clean room Bad: no gym, breakfast can be better

Good: Great location Bad: Nothing

Good: The location is perfect, everything is within walking distance. Breakfast has lots of variety of food from omelettes to cereal. Variety of drinks, juices, smoothies. Bad: the mattress and pillows for me were uncomfortable and very soft. When i was taking a shower water became hot or cold

Good: The location and the staff Bad: The cleanliness in rooms could be better

Nice hotel in great location. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Good: The facilities are fantastic. Renovation has been done with utmost care. I especially enjoyed staying in the “old” part of the hotel.

Good: The hotel is well located near the Jewish Quarter and on top of the Astoria M2 subway line. While the hotel is dated but our room is clean, bright and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. The manager at the reception is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices that we didnt feel bored even after 3-night stay. Our experience was so good that we switched other booking to Astoria upon return from Croatia road trip. Bad: Nothing

Good: Very clean and good stuff
