reviews

Lovely hotel, food good and staff generally friendly and helpful. Only drawback was the musicians who played every evening in the restaurant. They played well but made us and other customers very uncomfortable, invading our space and continuing to play until they received payment. Unfortunately we did decide to eat out on two occasions to avoid them The restaurant was otherwise excellent.

Good: Great comfortable location for exploring the city but we did have a room upgrade so sure this helped with our impression of the hotel.

Good: This Hotel is Old School... It's steeped with History and preserved beautifully... The staff are charming, attentive, relaxed and nothing is too much trouble... and it's not false, they are genuinely lovely people. The room was so comfortable, and the plumbing works!! hot water all times of the day and night and pressure to fill a bath in no time. Breakfast is a feast. Self-service and takes a bit of navigation because of the vast array on offer. However, ask the staff. They're all linguists and can guide you in English and other languages too. The bar and restaurant are great for lunch and dinner too! Bad: We should have booked for more than three nights!!

Good: Hotel is located in great location. Everything is near by. Very happy with my choice. Bad: No complimentary tea and coffee in the room.

Good: Everything breakfast was ace and more than enough choice Bad: Nothing

Good: Great Hotel in a center of the City. Wonderful, friendly stuff. Pleasant place to stay

Good: Very central, metro on doorstep, friendly and helpful staff, old style Art Deco building

Good: Great breakfast buffet. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location.

Good: Excellent beds and Wi-Fi, quiet room (we had a room facing the side street). Very good location in the centre of Pest. Lovely old-world atmosphere. We did not try the breakfast. Bad: The parking facility is a little far (200 m at least) and complicated to use. But that cannot be helped in this location. Also, we would have loved tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Good: The meals were very good a good breakfast buffet a great city centre location all in all a great week

Good: Excellent location! Comfortable and pleasant!

Good: The room was very comfortable and large. The bathroom very upto date and the shower excellent. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Staff were very helpful. The restaurant is also very good. Bad: Very hot, but windows opened so the room could be cooled.

Good: Perfect location, right next to a metro station & alongside a tram stop - so easily accessible - yet so quiet and old-style elegant.

Friendly staff, great location

Good: Excellent location , sympathetic staff, very good breakfast, nice and comfortable room Will certainly return Bad: None

Good: good selection and choice for buffet hot/cold breakfast. If you wish you can order fresh cooked omelette fried egg and freshly prepared coffee which was really great. Service for this was usually very quick and efficient unless it was a particularly busy time which was understandable. No tea/coffee making facilities in room but this was provided when we asked at reception which was really good to have

Good: Fantastic central location. Great big breakfast. Beautiful restaurant and bar on the street level. Bad: Quite pricey

Good: Lovely well kept hotel very clean. Good size bedroom,lovely bathroom. Comfortable beds and a nice warm room. Restaurant nice,lovely food,reasonable price. Hotel staff very helpful and friendly. Bad: Poor lighting in bedroom with no tea and coffee facilities. Street bins emptied every day at 6am.noisy,why not do this in the evenings? The bed was two singles together with single bedding and not a preferred double.

Brilliant

Good: Staff helpful and efficient. Hotel very clean. Never had to wait long for a lift. Excellent selection for breakfast.

Good: food was good, great location

Good: Room was nice with big comfortable bed. Works being done next door unconnected to hotel which caused disturbance but staff were more than happy to move us and couldn't apologise enough. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect especially with hop on bus right outside. Hotel was very clean. Bad: Wifi rarely worked

Good: Classic European atmosphere, great room, great Breakfast buffet and great service

Good: Very central but quiet. Good choice breakfast and nice room. Service was good. Bad: The dinner menu was rather limited and the way of charging for a glass as opposed to a bottle of wine meant was out of proportion.

Good: Grand hotel in centrial location may be a little worn but is very clean and the sepurb decor makes you feel like it's 1920. Excellent staff and breakfast buffet. The decor extends to the beautiful dining room which offers good Hungarian food at a fair price while being entertained by a gypsy band. Bad: Hotel must be close to a hospital because of the frequent sirens heard on the street.

Good: Luxury olde-world comfort. Attentive service and English speaking staff. Good and varied buffet breakfast. Pay extra for deluxe room. Bad: Lots of traffic noise, but we expected this. No tea/coffee making facilities in room.

Good: Luxury olde-world comfort. Attentive service and English speaking staff. Good and varied buffet breakfast. Pay extra for deluxe room. Bad: Lots of traffic noise, but we expected this. No tea/coffee making facilities in room.

Good: So handy to the metro and many eating places. Very helpful staff. Great bed and spacious room. Beautiful antique decor. Only 10minute walk to cruise ships. Bad: Could have been better pillows

Good: A wonderful old world hotel right in the centre of Budapest, close to cafes and restaurants. Beautiful architecture - large gracious public rooms. Comfortable bedroom. Very competent and friendly staff. We cannot fault it and would recommend it to others. Bad: Nothing

Good: lovely bathroom and plenty of cupboard space in bedroom. Bad: bedroom quite dark lights not very bright

Great spot to start your in-town sightseeing. Metro station is right outside the hotel.

This was as close to a "perfect" hotel as we have found, with "old-world" attentive knowledgeable service and atmosphere to make visiting Budapest extra special, but with everywhere freshly decorated (nothing "musty" about this 102-year-old hotel). Everything worked and was easy to use. Bed in deluxe room exceptionally comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of variety, and both the mid-afternoon snack and dinner (seafood) were tasty and well prepared, with a bonus of live traditional music with the dinner. A perfect conclusion to a trip in Eastern Europe, so highly recommended. You should find a reasonable rate if you look early enough.

Good: terrific location, grand hotel ambience, sound proof rooms, windows that open wide or close tight. Bad: beds could be firmer. A cofffee maker in room would be nice. Location Tip: steps to Metro and buses...walk to museums and Budapest synagogue...15 minute walk to Danube River Hotel gve a real taste of old Budapest. Staff is experienced and efficient and cordial in a Hungarian sort of way.

Good: Staff will go out of their way to help you and make your stay a pleasure. Especially helpful with getting us to an early morning flight! It's a beautiful hotel and the decor will take you back in time. My partner and I were able to walk to all the attractions and explore so many streets comfortably from it's location. It definitely helped make our stay in Budapest a memorable one.

Vintage feel with helpful staff. Stayed here for four nights and walked everywhere - from the castle across the river to Rudas and Szechny baths. Astoria metro station is very close as in the Central Market, parks, shops, etc. My wife prefers a more modern feel but even she enjoyed the classic vintage decor and style of the hotel. I can't stress how central the hotel is but the room was quiet. AC was helpful since it was so hot in July! Staff helped us coordinate with the baths and taxis whenever needed.

Good: Location. Breakfast. Bad: The room looks old and it was noisy during daytime.

Good: Enjoyed the little free croissant and coffee even when breakfast is not included. Bad: Although they are nice, the staff does not make you feel overly welcomed

Good: A beautiful historic hotel in an excellent position. Large room made our stay very comfortable for 6 nights. Helpful staff, excellent choice at breakfast. Bad: Nothing not to like.

Lovely helpful staff throughout. Room was clean, tidy and spacious. Good selection for breakfast - located next to Metro so easy to around the city although it was just a short walk to the city centre anyway.

Good: The location, food, staff and accomodations were superior. This property offers excellent value.

Good: The staff is exceptional. Always helpful with a smile. Really like the charming old world interior. Classy. Also, major transportation just steps away. Bad: Nothing

Good: This hotel was ideally located for a first visit to Budapest. Subway at the hotel and almost all Pest sites are walkable ( for the fit) from this hotel. Hop on and off tourist buses plus city buses stop at this hotel for those who are not wanting to trek about. Super-clean hotel with lovely restaurant for breakfast buffet as good as any. Bad: We liked our room but wished they had a larger screen TV with more English-language channels, but otherwise, no concerns.

Good: Comfy beds . Clean rooms. Amazing breakfasts. Bad: Nothing to fault!

Good: It's a wonderful hotel with soul, you can still feel the charm of 1920's in it. If you like the modern spirit of vibrant boutique or super luxurious expensive hotels, this one is not for you. But if you love art deco, beautiful interiors with style and soul, you will not be dissapointed. It was a pleasure to have breakfasts and evening drinks in a lovely restaurant downstairs. Really lovely place.

Good: Everything Bad: Nothing

Good: Great location and comfortable. Old style traditional hotel, perhaps a litlle bit 'faded' but charming. Excellent base for a few days in Pest. Would stay there again Bad: Nothing really

Good: Excellent bathroom Quiet room, but............ Bad: Room smaller than implied in marketing. No tea/coffee making facilities in room. ........room overlooking inner courtyard was in fact looking out at a blank wall!

Good: Very big rooms, nice and helpfull staff. had a great stay. Bad: The bed was too soft for my taste, but other than that nothing.

Good: Location near metro and walking distance to Curry House. Bad: No complaints. Police use sirens too much.

Good: The location was great. Would stay here again.. Bad: All good

Good: Location and attentive staff without being intrusive Bad: Not much

Good: Very helpful staff, great location, excellent breakfast.

Could not fault this hotel, it's ambience, restaurant, location, was really great.

Traditional, old world charm. Convenient location, close to the Danube, shopping and restaurants. Excellent breakfast, also afternoon cakes. Nice restaurant. Very clean, attentive staff. Will stay again.

Good: Great location, staff very nice and helpful Bad: Nothing

Good: Location was excellent, staff also and room very good. Bad: No tea and coffee available to make in the room.

Good: We loved the hotel! Great location, beautiful view, professional and helpful staff.

Good: Loved our stay at the hotel, very kind staff, great location and clean rooms. Right next to two subway stations and many restaurants and coffee shops. Highly recommend.

Good: Convenient location, the staff are nice, bathroom & shower room brand new. Nice view. Bad: the blankets need to match the size of mattress. For a queen size bed they have two twin size blankets. We like to sleep together not apart & the blanket wasn't sufficient for the both of us to cuddle together so that wasn't convenient.

We loved Budapest, it is a beautiful city with many surprises. The hotel Astoria is in a great location close to everything including supermarkets. Easy to get around on foot and to come back to relax before hitting the streets again. We love to walk around the city. The room was very spacious with complimentary toiletries. Hotel staff are superb. I would definitely stay here again.

Good: Near the station; historic building; staff attendance

Good: head of operations was very kind and patient to explain touristic routes

Good: head of operations was very kind and patient to explain touristic routes

A very comfortable hotel with helpful staff and handy to everything. The restaurant was good and food tasty and not too expensive. We would recommend it as good value for travellers.

Very handy for the Astoria metro station..

The hotel was awesome and the location was great. The only thing I would change is the restaurant - dinner was average and not a big selection. The highlight of the meal was their chocolate souffle - it was amazing.

Good: Excellent Breakfast Bar. Rooms very comfortable Bad: Could do with a better selection of TV Channels

Really nice and central hotel with really fine rooms, starff and breakfast. Hotel and room was clean and the hotel is close to everything for a turist. Will use this hotel again.

Good: The property has a really unique vintage baroque style and is located in the very heart of the city. Bad: nothing.

Good: perfect location, delicious breakfast

Good: Breakfast, central location Bad: Tea and Coffee making facilities in the room

Good: Perfect location with really friendly and helpful staff. The Winter Deal that gave free access to some of the thermal baths, as well as discount on a river tour was an extra bonus. We'd definitely stay there again! Bad: The breakfast could have been a little cheaper and then we would have had that too - we opted not to include it as it is much cheaper just to get breakfast from many of the cafes near by.

Good: everything was just perfect... Bad: parking.

Good: Location was fantastic Room was very clean Excellent value for money

Good: Very good location, clean rooms, quiet neighbourhood. Delicious breakfast

Thanks a lot, I think it was great. Beautiful area and very nice rooms. Great Breakfast. Good dinner also.

Good: Loved the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Extremely comfortable. Very close to public transport and in the center of town.

Good: All staff were helpful and friendly, and the location of the hotel was excellent. The concierge helped us purchase tickets to the baths and concerts, and arranged taxi service to and from the train station and airport. Bad: The hotel rooms were in need of refurbishing, and the common areas needed painting.

Good: This was an exceptional value, -- less than $100 per night for a large 2 room suite with 2 baths in a central location. Easy walk to many of the sites and exceptional restaurants. Nothing other than good to say about this place!

very friendly personal. the front desk help a lot, breakfast super,excellent price and the locations is #1. excellent we give 4 start to this hotel and we back in the future trip

Good: the friendly staff in the hotel always a pleasure to help expecially the manager thomaz Bad: despite the weather conditions we saw everything that was on offer in hungary

This hotel has been maintained beautifully - gracious. Nice friendly staff. Spacious room (with sheer curtains!) Lovely restaurant. Great location and very quiet despite being on/near thoroughfares. Central to everything - sightseeing, restaurants and supermarket down the road if needed. What more do you want? We stayed 3 nights mid Sept 2015.

Good: We had reserved a stantard room and informed that all standaed rooms were full When we arrived for check-in. They exchanged our room with superior one. Thanks for the welcome Bad: Nothing

Excellent hotel in a great location. Very good value.

Good: Perfect location very helpful and welcoming staff Wiling to suggest and solve any problem Bad: Pillows too small

Good: Lovely atmospheric hotel at a really low price Bad: None

Good: Location, very good Breakfast, clean and staff.

Good: + Close to center, walking distance 5 mins + It's a historical building, good atmosphere Bad: - Furnitures seem to be tired. TV's are old styles. I don't watch TV, so it was all right for me :)

Good: The management is super friendly and helpful. Loved the old world charm of the hotel. Bad: Nothing negative to say.

Really enjoyed, the room was very clean, also the hotel environment, the service of officials of the hotel was very polite.

Good: Great location. Excellent staff. Great price (63 Euro for a room niminally 210). very comfortable, well-designed and equipped room. Would definitely stay again.

Good: A good character hotel, comfortable and in a good location.

Great location amazing value for the money this is my second time staying in this hotel and i can honestly recommended

Excellent location. Well maintained and highly recommend.

Good: Excellent location, right in the city center. Easy access to the Metro and to reach all the tourist spots. Lots of restaurants nearby. Big room and comfortable bed. Rich variety of breakfast. Bad: Close to the main street, sound-proofing not good enough.

Good: Excellent hotel with it's old world charm not destroyed by the necessary modernisations (bathrooms, elavators etc). Serious and friendly personell. Ideal location and big rooms Bad: Nothing really

Great hotel in good location. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Unfortunately we only booked one night as we were unsure of the hotel and location and by the tome we saw how lovely our room was and tried to book an additional two nights for the remainder of our stay in Budapest the hotel was completely booked out. We would have loved three nights there.

Good: Quality of the building and décor - convenience to the Vaci Utca - excellent food - Happy Hour in the Café - spacious rooms - attentive staff Bad: Quality of the pillows is very poor for such a nice hotel - some investment is needed in feathers or hypo-allergenic polyester

Good: location, room, very nice bathroom. Bad: Bar service was too slow. There were less than six people to serve. Didn't seem interested in waitin on anyone.

Good: Name says it all really. History and tradition. The room was spacious enough with a comfortable bed and nice, big bathroom. Service from staff was always friendly and top. Ate at the restaurant too, which I also recommend. Bad: Our room unfortunately had no view - try to get a street view if you can: while not spectacular it beats the nothingness.
