reviews

Good: Very nice hotel with an extremely professional staff. Located on a metro stop so I went everywhere on public transport. Loved it. Lovely breakfast also.

Great, property. Location!!!!! Nice shower pressure. Friendly staff. In need of gentle renovation.

I was great that we were able to check in early. After 15 hours flight we were able to relax. Thank you

I like everything Break this is very good room Is clean and big

Good: The Danubius Astoria hotel is conveniently located across the road from the 100E bus stop from the airport. So if you arrive by air simply get on the 100E bus and in half an hour you will be outside the hotel. It is that easy! The hotel is also right next to a metro station (Astoria) and a more useful metro station is a 4 minute walk away (Deak Ferenc Ter). Just be warned: Blue line M3 metro is not running at present (August/September 2019) and is replaced by buses. So don't use the 200E bus plus M3 metro route from the airport. Now back to the hotel. Reception and concierge staff were helpful, friendly and spoke excellent English. Our room had good air conditioning, a bathroom with a bath and shower, a comfortable bed (but uncomfortable pillows) a small desk, good wardrobe and drawer space, a reasonable sized TV, a mini bar, hairdryer, and enough space. No Tea of coffee making facilities - and not particularly modern - but perfectly OK. We paid £75/night for bed only through Booking.com We liked the hotel - particularly for its location about ten minutes walk from the Danube and the Elizabeth bridge. We also found several coffee shops right next door which provided a croissant and coffee breakfast at very reasonable prices. In short a great hotel for a city break - and I'd go again! Bad: Our room had uncomfortable pillows. No Tea of coffee making facilities - and not particularly modern - but perfectly OK. The hotel breakfast was quoted as £14, or 13 euro. Maybe it was great - but I don't need to spend £28 each day for the two of us to have breakfast. We saved a lot of money by eating at the PrimaPek coffee shop virtually next door.

Good: The location was perfect. I was there for a Tango festival 3 minute walking. Great city and hotel in the central heart.

Excellent hotel, good stuff, clean and good location

Location is great, breakfast was amazing! 100% recommended.

Great rooms, staff very professional and exceptional restaurant with wonderful Hungarian cuisine.

Good: Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic restaurant. A great location to explore Budapest.

Good: The hotel is very old and has maintained the 1920s look throughout that does not make it less comfortable dinner in the restaurant is a treat and feel as if you are back in 1920 metro is right at the front door making it very easy to get around Bad: The only downside where the pillows old and lumpy I mentioned this to the front desk and I was informed all pillows and blankets would be replaced next week

Good: The hotel is in a very good location for visitors. It is next door to the Astoria metro station and is conveniently situated to walk to a lot of places to visit, such as the Synagogue. The staff were all very helpful and speak English, and we would like to mention Andrea Nagy particularly. She works in the restaurant and was very friendly with a great sense of humour. She was also very hardworking. We also found the lifts very speedy, which was good as our room was on the fourth floor! The hotel is very clean and our room had a very nice bathroom. A Hungarian friend joined us for dinner one day and we had a very nice meal together in the restaurant. They also serve a particularly good breakfast, and afternoon tea is not bad either ! Bad: liked pretty much everything.

Good: Convenient to transit and hop on hop off buses. Old hotel charm with attentive staff Bad: Parking a bit of a challenge to navigate to garages nearby but still close by

Good: Central location, on airport shuttle bus route. Established hotel , comfortable , well appointed dining areas and a good breakfast buffet. Perfect for a one night stay in Budapest Bad: Was a perfect stop over for us. Not too expensive , helpful staff at reception. Met our needs so no complaints

A classic hotel with staff to match they do not make them like this anymore!

Good: Excellent service, nice interiors, good location. We liked breakfast.

The hotel was beautiful, clean and the staff were friendly, variety of breakfast buffet, the hotel is so central to everything, shops, takeaway’s, restaurants, buses and tube just outside, and the duty manager was a diamond so helpful, I’d definitely recommend it, and would book it again no doubt about it.

Good: Everything about the hotel was excellent from the breakfast to the staff to the location etc. First class Bad: Nothing to dislike

The hotel was good had a lot of history as it was over 1 hundred years old staff were friendly and helpful the only thing missing was shower gel wasn't provided I had to go and perchase from local supermarket.

Location was perfect. Metro, tram and buses are RIGHT at the front door - literally! Staff, especially Tamas and Atilla, were very helpful. We appreciated their advice.

Everything about the hotel was perfect! Excellent location too!

Good: Property is in a great location, Metro outside the door, and another entrance about 5-10 mins walk away. Within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do, Ruin bars only 10mins walk away, some fab restaurants around too. Breakfast at the hotel was good, plenty of choice for everyone. We had a great stay here 👌🏻 Bathroom was lovely and light, clean and my biggest like was that there was a magnified mirror to do my make up, big plus for me 👌🏻 Very quiet, the window shuts out all the noise from the busy streets below and the air con was lovely! A fab room on the top floor, lift always available. Convenience of a locked luggage room to store our cases on the last day....would defo stay again if we come back! Bad: N/A

Great hotel , great location. Would definitely stay in this hotel again.

The breakfast buffet was expensive. We found great little restaurants close by.

Good: Close to city center

That was a fantastic hotel , in city center with excellent condition

Great location, near City center and metro is just down the stairs. Staff was really friendly and even more: very helpful, and we had many questions to ask. Room was have and clean. The only drawback was the noise in our first floor room that came from the street below.

It is very clean, the breakfast is very good but communication with the staff is not so good I have to go to front desk to get my phone to charge the circuit in my room doesn’t work even when they give me the Hungarian charger didnot work in the room but a gentleman gave me his own charger to use until when I leave ver nice of her.

Good: This is a beautiful hotel and very close to all transportation needs. All tour buses stop just across the street. The staff was wonderful and made even the smallest request seem like it was the most important. Bad: Parking was a bit challenging but that is the norm in all major cities in Europe. We were able to park a motorcycle in a guarded lot across the street for half price of car.

Fantastic location, right next to the underground public transport.. Very nice room, lots of history. Enjoyed the live music at the Hotels restaurant, would stay again. Loved it. Friendly and helpful staff with good English.

Nice big room for the 3 of us. Extra bed was made up when we arrived. Bags got taken too room, check in was straight forward.

Beautiful historic property. Made me feel like Royalty. It was very noisy at night and in early morning hours.

Good: Old world ambiance Makes you feel like it's 1920. Bad: Road below is frequently noisy with emergency vehicles

Rooms are clean and spacious, staff is amazing and very helpful, definitely recommend it.

Good: The staff were brilliant very helpful Location perfect ,bar and restaurant excellent Could not find faults Will visit again

Good: Beautiful, traditional and historic hotel with great service. Bad: Room was a long way from the lifts.

Lovely hotel

Reception manager Lazlo was very kind ,professional and helpful I would highly recommend

Good: Well located, comfortable room, helpful staff

From start to end it was just what we needed... for the price it is 5 stars all the way

Very good location. Excellent access to public transport - bus, tram, metro and airport transfer bus 100E. All chain restaurants yoh can think of are near by. Close to variety of tourist attractions to. Hotel breakfast buffet was very good. Lot of varieties- continental and hot breakfast too. Additinally, omelette can be ordered to suit your needs. Rooms were nice and clean. Housekeeping was good too. Overall a very good experience staying at this hotel. Recommended.

Good: The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They kindly allowed us to upgrade our room at a discounted rate. The deluxe room was beautiful. Very well kept and spacious. The hotel was in a great location, just beside the metro. Bad: We had booked a standard room, but we were very disappointed with how run down the room was and the musky smell. That being said, there was no issue when we requested a room upgrade for a small fee. I would recommend updating the standard rooms.

The Danubius Hotel is very, very good hotel in Budapest. In fact, the restaurant in the hotel is one of the best not only in Hungary but in Europe. The guinea fowl with noodles in paprika sauce is exquisite!

Super nice staff, very helpful, and efficient. The Hotel restaurant food is excellent and is accompanied by live violin music. Very nice atmosphere and well appointed. This is a luxury, full service hotel at an affordable price and it is centrally located within walking distance to Museums, Synagogues, river attractions and perhaps most important it is right at the entrance to the Astoria Metro Station that can take you almost anywhere including the International Train Station. I recommend to ask the Hotel Concierge to make your reservations for places you want to visit. They are most helpful and provide you with valuable information to save time and money. Highly recommended to Budapest visitors!

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location with a short walk to Váci street and the Danube River. There is a metro station for easy access to all sightseeing. Comfortable rooms with a beautiful old style cafe with great food. Very professional and helpful hotel staff.

Good: Breakfast.Location. Bad: The water in the shower drainage was very slow.

Good: Nice staff, nice service

Excellent location close to both Buda and Pest side attractions. Though the lobby area looks dated, rooms are in good condition with comfortable beds and spacious layout.

Loved the atmosphere, vintage, cosy, near everything important in town

Good: Easy access to bus stops, eateries, and souvenir stores. Bad: No coffee pot, tea kettle, ironing board!

Good: Breakfast, Location

We had a wonderful stay in Budapest. The Astoria is centrally located, close to eating, shopping, the Metro, & sightseeing spots. Friendly & professional staff.

Great hotel! Price was very reasonable, location was central, staff was extremely friendly. When I go back to Budapest (which will be soon), this is where I am staying.

Good: Great location, clean, tidy, good sized rooms and very comfortable. Hotel had character with older features Bad: Nothing

Best location fantastic crew

It is really a high class hotel. Although the decoration is a bit old fashion, but is is very clean and the hotel is maintained very well.

Nice and cosy, a bit the style of the sixties, but with Class with a Capital C. Excellent service, great location!

Staff were super friendly and the hotel was in the most ideal location in the inner city. Also a very easy shuttle bus service from the airport to the hotel that drops you right outside the hotel!

Good: Very friendly clean and excellent location.

It was a great place to stay , central to all travel .

Good: Good central location Bad: Nothing

This is an amazing hotel with a lot of character. The staff is absolutely amazing at reception and all areas of the hotel. The buffet breakfast is incredible with lots of variety at a very reasonable price. I would go back again in a heart beat. love it.

The best location. Perfect for everything. Love my trip and will recommend this hotel to all my friends.

Good: Literally everything we wanted to do was like a 20 min walk from the hotel. Perfect location, great staff!

Good: The breakfast was great and I would recomend this place

Good: The hotel has an excelent location, nearby garage, five minutes walk to the Vaci utca - restaurants, shops, entertainment. Staf is very frendly with excelent English. Bad: Not so many TV programs available. Maybe one or two Slovenian wouldn't be difficoult to put in the scheme - Slovenia and Hungary are neighbors, so ...

Good: Staff very helpful Bad: Nothing

Great location

Very friendly and efficient

Absolutely loved the Danubius Hotel Astoria. The location is perfect, our family room was very spacious with a beautiful view to the city. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good too.

Good: A superb experience, will be back

It's very central, the room was a very good size. The staff very helpful. Good to have a fridge in the room. It's very Agatha Christie hotel.

Old building but in good shape with excellent staffs at the heart of city - everything was close by - Metro, Bus, Tour Bus, Water front and shopping area. Room was very large and clean even if it showed its age. You will feel like you are back to 1920 era with classic charm. I liked their restaurants a lot - food, deco, staff.. every thing was what you would expect from this classic hotel. Highly recommended. I will stay in same hotel if I have another chance given.

Good: Very elegant ornate old world hotel. Lovely helpful staff, booked a tour for us and helped with lots of little things. Great location, airport bus stops at Astoria stop outside hotel. Stayed on 4th floor with a view of busy Budapest but double glazing amazing so no noise disturbance. Great power shower and room was huge. Bad: No complaints!

Good: Very central and very helpful staff Bad: Nil

Good Service Great View

Good hotel with perfect public transport connections.

Hotel was in a good area to walk to most places, staff was friendly and helpful. Price was reasonable and provided good value. Room was clean and a little larger than a typical European hotel.

Great location and unique retro style ... helpful staff and good breakfasts

Simple but meets all your needs. Great location! No complaints.

Very clean facility, perfect location, courteous and professional staff. Excellent breakfast. No surprises at check out.

Excellent hotel! Centrally located with many shops nearby. Walking distance to docks. Excellent service, good food, very nice rooms. A little bit of old world charm.

Great hotel, excellent location!

Everything was in walking distance. The food was great all over. Staff was very accomadating

Great hotel, and service. We had a wonderful time!

Good: Location is perfect close to everything and easy access to public transportation

Good: Good Breakfast, Good choice lovely old setting. Bad: Not happy with Booking.com as you booked the accommodation under my partners name not mine who booked and paid for it. This caused a lot of confusion at check-in as there was no record of my booking and the taxi which was booked to collect me did not have my name, I had to get a taxi from the rank and ended up paying twice. Booking.com cause the error and confusion and cost me 10,000HUF extra.

Good: Easy transfer on 100e bus from airport with bus stop immediately outside hotel. Next to McDonalds , Burger King, Starbucks metro and city tour bus stops. Excellent meal in hotel dining room.

Location was excellent and staff helpful. Bed was superb

Good: Great service, great location

Property was strategically located between Happening life and bridge. All places are nearby and very easily accessible. Just above metro station

I would stay there again and again .love this place

Thank you!

Best location and good hotel, well connected and lots of places to visit walking distance only.

Excellent place, staff, food and location

Good: Fantastic location with the most spectacular view over Lake Albano from the private terrace. Breakfast was included, but served in a neighbouring, very welcoming cafe and was excellent. Throughout, Francesco was super-helpful and very friendly indeed, even driving me to my work venue at Ciampino through truly horrible traffic. Bad: Castel Gandolfo is a beautiful place, with good restaurants and a spectacular location. However, as a work location to stay it was a bit out of the way and a little awkward to get to typical work locations in and about Rome. That said, since Francesco was so welcoming, I will seriously consider it again for my next work visit to Ciampino!

Friendly staff and perfect location with the underground directly opposite the entrance. Plenty of choice for breakfast.

Gorgeous decor and warm welcome. Very central. Enjoyable stay.

Good: Todo Bad: Nada

This is the second time we have stayed at the Danubius Astoria. It is based in a beautiful traditional building within reasonable walking distance of many of the main tourist sites in Budapest, and provides fantastic breakfasts. The 100E bus from the airport stops right outside, providing a very easy and reasonably priced airport transfer. We were given a free upgrade to a deluxe room this time around. My only slight disappointment is that there was no tea tray/kettle in the room. Otherwise a fantastic experience and I hope to be able to return again.
