reviews

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.

Good: Staff were courteous. Old fashioned hotel in a charming way. Plenty of room lights and conveniently placed plugs for chargers etc. Astoria metro right outside was perfect for getting around especially if weather bad or you're tired. Great location for walking around without the chaos of being in the centre (shopping area) Bad: Queue for coffee machine in mornings but was a weekend. Restaurant was busy and felt crammed. But wouldn't put us off staying there again. Good breakfast.

The style and decoration of the hotel was nostalgic whilst offering up to date amenities.

Good: The location perfect The coffee excelent Explanation good Bad: Was great no remarks

This is a fantastic hotel in the centre of Budapest and a great base for exploring the city. The staff are brilliant and while staying hete recently, we received a bottle of bubbly from management for our anniversary. The old style elegance is complemented by the food and service and the whole aspect makes for a very enjoyable experience. If I am in a position to return to Budapest, I will definitely be staying here. I must admit, that if you want value for money, this is the place to go.

Great classy hotel, with extra cpnformtable large rooms. Locaton great

Good: City Center location Reasonable quiet Excellent staff Bad: Preferably a nicer room

Good: Location and staff attention. Bad: There were a bad smell on the hall. Room where next to service quarters of the floor.

Hotel was great staff lovely friendly breakfast was amazing not cheap but if you wanted you could have a feast Bedroom although a little on the small size it was fine We asked for a kettle in our room and it was there waiting for us on arrival Asked for two extra pillows they arrived within a few minutes

I liked the friendly helpful staff, the location and the cleanliness of the hotel.

Beautiful hotel inside and outside

Excellent but no tea coffee facilities inside the bedroom

Hotel is very well located so you can walk to all the main tourist attractions. The buffet breakfast provides an excellent choice and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with a large comfortable double bed but just one minor negative point - no tea/coffee making facilities provided in the room. Overall, a good place to stay and the interior of the hotel is full of character.

The legendary Hotel Astoria Budapest opened in 1914 as one of the city’s most elegant hotels, and – over a century later – it stays true to that original character. Guests have always been attracted by its sublime fin-de-siècle architecture and comfortable rooms. And its location: a 10-minute walk from prime attractions like the Hungarian National Museum, the Great Synagogue (the largest in Europe), the Danube promenade and the famous Váci Street.

Good: Everything! The staff were all wonderful. The breakfast was amazing. The restaurant was great. The location is excellent. The room was clean.

Good: The staff was helpful and courteous. Being Traditional jews, we needed someone to let us into our room on our sabbath as we could not use the electronic key. They did so cheerfully Bad: there was nothing to complain about. all met my expectations

Great location and friendly staff.

Lovely hotel. Staff are very friendly and it is located right in the middle of everything. Perfect to walk to everywhere.

Staff was great ..food in resturant was very good . location was good for all the sites i wanted to see.

Good: The hotel is centrally located, 5 minutes from the Jewish Quarter and a from Váci u. street. The rooms are spacious, the staff very nice Worth the monetary value.

Excellent helpful staff...large clean and comfortable room...tea and coffee facilities provided on request, excellent breakfast..huge choice...lovely old building. No 'leisure' facilities but not wanted as dont go on holiday to go to the gym...would definitely stay again...thankyou

Excellent very central. The food was good and very comfortable.

Good: Very clean old elegant hotel right in the centre of town. Staff very helpful and food excellent. Lovely happy hour coffee and cakes every afternoon. Bad: Bar closes at 23-00 every night

Great location. A very good hotel. Helpful staff. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Good: We liked the location, the breakfast (which was amazing), the bedroom was nice too. The hotel has a very nice architecture and is welcoming. Bad: We were at the end of a corridor next to rooms in which works were being done. It started very early in the morning and was annoying to hear a lot of noises. It woke us up.

Good: Great location, polite, helpful staff. Nice atmosphere and very good breakfast. Bad: .

Very central service in restaurant very slow

Good: The location was good. Within walking distance to the river and access to the Budapest tram network outside the hotel. Bedroom was warm & spacious with a well equipped bathroom and plenty of hot water on demand Bad: Traffic noise was noticeable during the night at times

Good: location was excellent.. very happy with the hotel would stay again. Bad: maybe leave it a little later for housekeeping to knock on the door.. 7.30am is way too early when you are away on a break.

The Astoria cafe is remarkable..The hotel is so authentic...Every tourist to Budapest must visit this street..Its also close to Dohany street where the city center lies..

The hotel is in the best spot for seeing what Budapest has to offer. Everything is in walking distance and the hotel itself is lovely.

Like a step back in time ...in a good way.

Good: We loved our room at Danubius Hotel Astoria. Our room came with view of the city and had a lot of room and toilet space. The hotel looked after little details such as toiletries, mini bar, shoe polish etc and was very clean. We were allowed to leave our luggage at their storage room on our last day, upon check out which was handy. The breakfast was great, with lots of choices and treats. Overall we loved our stay and would high recommend the hotel :)

Staff very courteous, Room was clean and towels changed every day. Great location within walking distance of most sights. Ask for a rear room as the hotel is on a major crossroads but if you keep the window shut you can hear a lot of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel and would book again.

Very comfort room and place is excellent

one of the best hotels in Budapesr

Good: We stayed in the the standard twin room for five nights we could have upgraded for another fifty euro but the room we had was fine. The bed was really comfortable , the room was large nice and warm and in a quite part of the hotel as l had requested. There was a very good selection of food at breakfast both hot and cold. The hotel is old style but this adds to its charm. The hotel is in a good central location with bars and places to eat nearby and the metro is right outside. Everything was fine. Bad: As stated already the hotel was great, but Budapest was more expensive than l was led to believe . Watch out when using public transport especially the metro that you have the right ticket and that you have validated it in the machine before entering the platform area as there are inspectors all over the place ready to pounce like hawks . Sadly there are a lot of homeless people on the streets and in the metro stations and this can be off putting , but that seems to be the way in many countries in europe at the moment including my own. That said Budapest is a beautiful city and well worth a visit.

Great hotel, with awesome location and great service

The Hotel's city centre location was excellent, enabling us to choose to either walk, bus or metro to all parts of the city. The Hotel has a unique sense of history with a mix of restored and well maintained facilities, and the large room sizes gave it a feeling of grandeur. Their staff were excellent and accommodating.

Lovely stay. Great location. Beautiful spacious rooms.

Beautiful old style hotel. The staff are extremely nice, helpful and courteous, food is lovely, the best shower of any hotel we have been in... lovely high ceilings in bedroom. The decor is fabulous, room cleaned each day, very attentive to their clients, the breakfast buffet is fabulous. Its like walking onto the movie set of the Great Gatsby or Poirot ..

Love it! Beautiful hotel with great maid service. No complaints so far!

Good: Fantastic location, beautiful decor and very helpful staff. A pleasure to stay here and will be back. Bad: All good

Good: Location size of the room comfort period feature excellent food

Nice hotel. Very kind stuff. Center of the city.

Good: Very friendly staff, wonderful breakfast Bad: No sparkling wine at breakfast😊

Good: The staff were absolutely incredible!! My friend and I are from Australia and were visiting as part of a short holiday and were incredibly aided by the helpful and obliging nature of every member of staff we came across. They recommended the best bus companies to travel with, provided us with salad dressing to our room at an unearthly hour after the restaurant had closed and MOST helpfully, got us a registered taxi who would take us to the airport at a fixed rate on short notice - they even shooed away a taxi driver who they knew would rip us off. This hotel’s historical charm was fittingly paired with the old-fashioned courtesy and charm of its staff. Would thouroughly recommend!!

Lovely relaxing hotel right in the center. Close to all amenities.

Excellent experience! Lovely customer service and very elegant hotel.

Really nice hotel, brilliantly located for transport, fast food, coffee shops and supermarket all on the door step

Good: We liked the hotel for how it is now,for its location and history and for what had to offer to us.

This hotel was perfect for our stay in Budapest! It was centrally located, and a short walk from many of the important attractions. The metro stop (if you need it) was literally right outside the front door. The hop on/hop off also stops right in front! Other things I liked: shower head was super strong and hot, beds were pretty comfortable, staff was very friendly and helpful. I didn't dine there, so I can't speak to that, but overall I would very much recommend and stay here again!!

Central location, clean with very friendly service

Great location. Wonderful ambience. Nice restaurant.

Hotel was at good location but the facilities inside was very old.

Old fashioned place, very stylish, very clean. Great restaurant, nice location, very nice stuff.

Beautiful Building!!

Gorgeous and luxurious CityCentre Hotel in the most central possible touristic hotspot of Budapest.

Great Hotel with Great Staff.

Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in and very central to everything. The food was good too

Nice atmosphere that is in character with the city

Wonderful hotel when it's cold outside

A really nice quiet hotel in easy walking distance of all the main sites. We've had a very nice time.

Amazing hotel!!! I really liked it and anyone who goes to visit nearby recommends the hotel💖💖💖

Great hotel with lots of character.. The only thing missing was blackout curtains as we had a street light across the road so there was always a yellow glow in the room.

Classical, beautiful old-world hotel. Great staff and service. Perfect location.

We spent 5 nights and it was a great place to stay. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of food to choose. Service by all staff were very friendly and courteous at all times. Location was perfect

Good hotel in the city center.

Warm cosy old world charm central for everything if you want modern not for you but perfect for us really nice stay in Budapest

Great hotel and location was good for getting around.

A wonderful hotel! Location was outstanding. The breakfast amazing. Cleanliness was excellent. People complain about Eastern Europe but it is a cultural phenomenon. Walking through the city was easy and local transportation readily available. It is now one of my favorite cities. I can't wait to go back and will definitely stay here.

Nice hotel in the centre of Budapest city Very near river eating and drinking places

Old hotel but rooms have been refurbished to a top standard. Our room was probably the best room we have had for a short city break. The hotel is in a fantastic location next to a metro station and a tram stop. The staff were very helpful particularly when I requested a late checkout. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

A beautiful, historic hotel. The architecture and lobby are vintage yet rooms and baths have been updated. Staff is excellent. Couldn't be a better location for touring Budapest. The metro and bus stops are right outside the door.

Fantastic trip, great hotel, great place. The hotel food was delicious, the place was interesting.

Today the hotel is a spectacular reminiscence of the past! What attracted me the most to the hotel, is that it is filled with several antiquities. Not just the carpets and chandeliers, but also several vases, sculptures, furniture, paintings, mirrors, copper brackets and so much more were initially bought to decorate the hotel in its hay times in the 1930s. Even if you stay elsewhere, you could just visit the restaurant for a meal. This is more baroque in style with golden detailing all over the ceiling. The best part is the mezzanine floor with a few tables in it.

Excellent hotel, great location, very helpful staff

Good: Clean, warm room (very much appreciated after sightseeing in sub zero temperatures) comfy beds, good shower with plenty of hot water. Good choice of hot and cold food at breakfast. Fabulous decor in Reception, breakfast room and restaurant. Receptionists were friendly and helpful. All staff polite and service excellent. Great location, within walking distance of main tourist sights, hop on hop off bus stop just over the road. Bad: Room decor and furnishings tired and in need of refurbishment - but this is no way detracted from our enjoyment

Lovely traditional hotel excellent restaurant experience at dinner and breakfast. Room much too hot, shabby, not well cleaned. But bathroom fine, lots of hot water, good shower. No additional facilities like sauna or anything but well placed for the city and access to airport by bus link. Waiters were lovely. All staff very helpful.

Loved the location! loved the hotel! great vibe all around.

Beautiful hotel. Luxury from a time gone by. It is like stepping back a 100 years. Modern ameneties though. Great breakfast with a vareity of food. Wonderful true to hungarian food. Sheer luxury. Would stay there again. Helpful and very accomodating staff

An amazing tradition hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful Decor of the old style. Fabulous location close to transport, shops and tourist attractions. Also close to Xmas markets. Easily accessible from airport through bus transfer system. Dropped and picked up from the hotel. Only gripe was lack of tea and coffee needs in room. Did bring us kettle and bits when requested but not really topped up. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay at this Hotel. Would stay again

Good: The Astoria bus station is so close to the hotel. I arrived easily from airport by 100E bus. I reached many popular places by walking in a few minutes. Room was clean and warm. There hasn’t been any noise during my vacation time. Hotel staff is so friendly. they speaks English. I requested a kettle for my room. They provided for me. I would like to stay again if I have a chance to come to Budapest Bad: Breakfast could be more variety according to the room price. There was no any slippers in room. To drink water I had to buy water from Market.

Historic hotel, well located in the heart of Budapest. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The rooms are quite modern despite the classic decor of the hotel lobby. I really enjoyed my stay here.

A lot of reviews have talked that this hotel is in need of a bit of refresh. In my opinion this is not true. The setting is wonderful, so close to the local amenities and easy to get to from the airport. The staff are very friendly, even when faced with my nonexistent Hungarian. The building is clean, tidy and full of character. The bed was comfortable and the facilities were great. Add in the fantastic Cafe Astoria next door and I really cannot recommend this hotel highly enough

Lovely Art Deco hotel, right in the heart of the city, with easy access to everything you could possibly need in a weekend

Good: Really comfortable large cosy room friendly staff with great attached restaurant with friendly waiters Bad: Just hope this classic hotel is not modernised thereby spoiling all its charm which we loved

Good: They helped with any request we had. They brought us a kettle. They helped us with directions and imformation about visiting Budapest Bad: Very helpful.

Good: Great Location. It is next to an entrance to the underground metro but we didn't need to use it as most tourist attractions are within walking distance. Good sized room and old world style. Clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and professional. Bad: Despite the double glazed windows you could still hear the traffic outside but that is to be expected as it is located on a busy street.

I would definitely recommend this hotel! The location is very central. Most tourist attractions are within walking distance but it is also located next to a subway entrance if you aren't up to walking. The hotel is located in a beautiful old building and is classically decorated. I was happy with the room and facilities. There is a tv, minibar and we had a bathtub in the bathroom which is great after a long day of walking around the city! The Astoria cafe/restaurant next to the lobby looks very old-school classy and the staff are very professional so if you want to experience a hotel stay like a rich person in the old days (but at a reasonable price), this is the place!

Super

Like stepping back in time. The hotel has original look of the period it was built in. Also has a dark past from when the Germans occupied Budapest.

My sister and I had a great vacation staying here!

Well positioned would go back again. Staff very helpful booked our coach trip and minibud when required. Lovely young girl in jewellers in Astoria very helpful

the best location for sure. 10 steps from Hotel door to subway station door, and 10 mins walk to the Danube.

What a gem, staff could not do enough for you, good breakfast meal, hotel evening meal was ok and a reasonable price. Decor was amazing. Thick walls so could not hear the other guests, traffic a little noisy. Centrally placed to get around and right next to the metro. Would use again.
