reviews

A lovely traditional hotel with wonderful staff.

I had a pleasant stay at the Astoria, the room was nice and clean. Perhaps the TV should be updated.

had an amazing stay at this hotel, the position of the hotel was perfect for access to sights, cafes, bars, restaurants, shops and river. We booked a deluxe room with breakfast, the room was spacious and comfy with air con, traffic noise could be a problem at night if you had to sleep with the windows open, and there was plenty to choose from for breakfast which we had brought to our room at our chosen time. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Ideal location at intersection of two main streets plus right at a metro stop. Four blocks from the Danube! Elegantly appointed rooms and attentive staff. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay and we are really grateful for the wheelchair and the way you managed our transfer to the airport whith a taxi instead of the shuttle which was wrong on the sunday 8th june. Thank you very very much!

Staying here is like stepping back to the 19th centuary old withdrawal charm an era long dusapoeared on other cities , hurry and experience this for yourselves for it will not last

Very good hotel. We had a nice stay there.

Good: staff were fantastic, very polite and couldnt do enough to help we took upgraded twin room that was nice and great bed location just about ok - brilliant if you use the metro Bad: front rooms are noisy with view of main crossroads, back rooms are quite with view of opp building 10 meters away... having to pay for wifi

Good: Excellent location and wonderful big rooms. The famous cafe/restaurant was very grand. Bad: Wifi in room had to be paid for - and did not work! But hotel refunded and assured that they are to change their internet provider soon. Free wifi in public areas worked well.

Good: Excellent room with comfortable bed. Very helpful and enthusiastic staff. If you are an Aussie seek out Thomas. Cocktail bar and restaurant with excellent menu. Generous buffet breakfast. Central location with easy access to buses & trams. Short walk to the "must see" New York Cafe! Bad: Limited city street view.

The Danubius Astoria is a charming hotel with an old fashioned elegance. The staff were impeccable, lovely bathroom and very comfortable beds. Rather noisy at the front, but ear plugs do the trick. We didn't bother with the breakfast. You get coffee or tea and a mini croissant gratis anyway,.and there are such cheap and lovely places to eat. The breakfast smelt and looked rather plastic and not at all worth the price. A great holiday and a great hotel

Good: Location and room excellent. Extremwly clean spacious and comfortable. Staff in general very friendly and professional. The room was good value for money. Bad: The food including breakfast was outrageously overpriced so we didn't stay in the hotel for it, it meant we missed out a bit on the atmosphere of staying in such a lovely place. There was one Porter who was noticably cooler and less friendly than the other staff. We were dreading having to meet him in the doorway by the time we were leaving. At times noise from the street was an issue but that's the price to pay for the fantastic location.

Another tasty dinner in the Astoria Restaurant. Paprika chicken and home made gnocchi. DDD

Good: Really friendly and helpful staff, comfortable surroundings. I would recommend this hotel.

No beer for the hotel guests during the wedding!!! Loved the senora for the rooms.

The service was great and location perfect!

Coffee and cake in a 100 year-old place

Despite the terrible weather I had an excellent stay in this Hotel. Nice furniture, helpful staff, reasonable prices.

Charming, older hotel in great location, right by the famous synagogue and the Jewish Quarter; all points easily accessible-walked everywhere. Reception staff (24 hour) very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in guiding you around the city and answering all questions. Was lovely having a bellman,too, + two elevators. Two beautiful eating areas to have "tea" and dine in. Only complaints: (1)the morning "breakfast" included in the room price was only a small croissant and very watered down coffee; otherwise, the hotel offered a very expensive buffet, and (2) free wifi only in the lobby and restaurant. Highly recommend Free Walking Tours while in Budapest.

Good: - Location - Really helpful staff Bad: -Cleanness - Bellboys behavior - Wifi in the rooms Location Tip: -Tesco - Astoria metro station - Bank - Good restaurants - Main street Pros: The reception staff are great, It was felt like we have tourist information on our demand. The location is perfect, on the spot of "Astoria" metro station. Cons: The room wasn't clean enough. The bellboys are bit annoying, They try to get tips for every help. The only way to get WIFI is in the lobby, There is no way to get it in the room

Excellent in every respect -- my only slight complaint might be that the pillows (foam rubber) could be better!

An excellent and beautiful hotel in a superb location. Fantastic value, friendly and very helpful staff, close to all sights...would recommend this to everyone!!

my wife and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Astoria and would have no hesitation in recommending it , staff were friendly , rooms great and cleaned every day, nice big bathroom and the hotel was centrally located, with a metro stop outside and a stop for the hop on /hop off bus opposite, if i have to make any comment and this is not a criticism , i would like to have had tea/coffee making facilities in the room

Good: A charming hotel from the elegant era of travel with staff who treated us as valued guests in their home and not just another pair of feet through their front door. Wonderful old fashioned personal service! Bad: No free WIFI in rooms

Good: Super Lage

Good: We had a Delux Double and it was like a mini suite. The bed was large and very comfortable. The staff could not do enough to help at reception. It was very central to everywhere and we would stay there again if visiting Budapest. Bad: The price of the breakfast at €15 per person it was very steep.

Excellent hotel in a great city centre location, couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in this beautiful city!

Good: The hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of Budapest. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Bad: I would consider the breakfast price to be excessive.

Good: все

Good: Location is very good, rooms are clean and comfortable. Excellent value for money variant.

Good: Location, staff, quietness Bad: Standard rooms have old furniture and don't live up to 4* standard. Breakfast way too expensive - 15 euro/pers.

Ideally located for a good look around the city all within walking distance if your feeling fit but fill up at breakfast and its easy. Staff very helpful pointing out places to see where to eat or booking things for you..rooms spotless all good

Good: היחס, האדיבות, האוכל, הסדר והנקיון, בקיצור - הכל

Good: We very much appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The location is excellent. The building is beautiful and the hall & restaurant are very beautiful.

Good: I Liked everything about this hotel. Very central. Staff were excellent, particullary receiption staff. Room very spacious, and very clean. Bad: The cost of the breakfast. This was crazy.

Good: Our deluxe double room was excellent. The restaurant was really superb and the young trainee waitress who served us was five star! She was very professional and deserves our congratulations. We used to stay at the GELLERT hotel but will stay at the ASTORIA now as we are frequent visitors to Hungary having family who live there. Bad: Nothing, it was all good!

We enjoyed our stay in the Astoria Hotel. We found it very centrally located and excellent value for money.

This is an excellent hotel. Very well located, with big spacious rooms, Clean bathroom and bedroom, Fantastic Staff. The only down side, the breakfast is too expensive for what you get. Overall very happy with our stay

Good: Wonderful, old-world hotel. Both the Hall and rooms are beautifully decorated. Most staff speak fluent English, and, especially the older ones, fluent German (which generally is better understood in Budapest than English). Our room was well sized, with very comfortable beds, a spotless, immacculately clean carpet (fitted carpets can be off-putting in hotels, but not this one), very well equipped and comfortable. The bathroom was well sized and modern, an important bonus in an old hotel. Another plus is the excellent soundproofing of the double-glazed windows which completely shut out the heavy roadnoise. There is a large variety of TV stations, German, Italian, English and even Spanish, plus a few radio stations. If you are a classical music lover, you will soon be addicted to the Hungarian classical station which must be the best I have ever listened to. The location is very convenient as it is within easy walking distance to the centre of Pest (15 minutes walk to Andrássy ut and the opera), 20 minutes to Buda, with the Astoria metro station in front of the entrance, as well as a tram and bus stop. (The tram being my preferred mode of transport). It also has a beautiful café and restaurant which in it's old-world elegance is reminiscent of Viennese coffee houses. It even has an underground disco, the decor being an extraordinary mix of old world and 70's with plush velvet and strobe lighting, with a sleepy DJ/barman playing rap and House!! Great for a late night laugh, although it was closed most of the time! I did read some negative reviews of this hotel and am glad I ignored them, however I should mention that we stayed in one of the "superior" or "deluxe" rooms under the Special Winter offer, which made it very good value for money. I certainly would stay there again.

Good: Service and good location Bad: No free wifi in room, no Cafee or warm water, first day no change of towels

Good: Great location near Astoria Metro station, friendly staff (even some Finnish speaking!), clean and large rooms, sophisticated "old-world" athmosphere with comfortable interior. Free (good) coffee with croissant. Definitely would like to come again! Bad: The price of the buffet breakfast could have been a bit cheaper. Now we ate local "Langos" in the Market Hall and that was great too.

Central, charming and very good value. The inclusive breakfast was poor - a coffee and stale croissant, compared to the delicious buffet breakfast for an extra 14 euros. Staff all very nice and helpful.

Lovely traditional Hotel in a very central location. Magnificent Restaurant. Breakfast very plentiful and varied, included in price, in our case. Bedrooms, very comfortable, if decor a little "tired". Bathroom very clean and good supply of hot water for shower. TV needs to be up-dated!! Hotel staff were very well trained and efficient. Overall, a very good place to stay in the lovely city of Budapest.

Good: Everything. Bad: NA Wonderful experience of staying at the Danubias. Perfectly located for the major sites with great transport links nearby. Hotel was in great condition and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

The hotel was clean and spacious. We were three thirty-something friends traveling and we were given a large room with a pull out sofa and a second toilet. The hotel was located at the Astoria metro stop and just off of several tram lines with easy access to both Buda and Pest. The price was very affordable and the staff were helpful with getting around on public transit and getting a cab to the airport. Internet was available in the lobby for free.

Great location in Pest. Walking distance to most Pest attractions. Good price.

This hotel is full of old school character, in a great location and I would recommend to anyone wishing to explore Budapest.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Very friendly helpful staff. Good breakfast and dining facilities. WOuld use again.

Good: Lovely old hotel, especially the restaurant; very nicely renovated, great location, my room was quiet.

Good: Great location, very helpful staff, clean rooms

Lovely hotel in the centre of pest within 10 mins walking distance of the river. Good transport system on the doorstep giving access to all locations. A busyish road but the rooms were air conditioned so you could not hear the traffic at all. I would definately stay there again and recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality hotel at a reasonable price. We only booked for the coffee & coissant not the full breakfast - at approx 12 euros per head (as much coffee as you like but only one small croissant) which was fine for us because there are plently of good cafes and bars around in budapest where you can get a lovely breaksfast at half the hotel prices and we like to try different places. A lovley holiday and city to visit. You must visit the thermal baths....wonderful!!! also try the cycling tour of the city - fantastic way to see the sights.

Good: Lovely big corner room with two Juliet balconies. Bad: Traffic noise when windows were open. Location Tip: Very central and nice area. Well located. Lovely squares with restaurants and shops nearby. Great room with only down side being Traffic noise from the street when the balcony doors where open. Otherwise very quiet room. Room service very limited but great restaurants in a few minutes walk. Staff very friendly.

This is an excellent hotel if you value an old-fashioned hotel experience, with elegantly dressed men at the front desk, marble and damask, tea room and the like. The location is well located in the City Center of Pest near a major subway stop. The rate was very reasonable, and the front desk will exchange currency (not the best rate going, but at least it's convenient). The rooms are recently remodeled and fairly large -- with air conditioning.

Budapest was great, I stayed at the Astoria hotel right in the middle of the city, I walked for hours around 6 miles and as you can see a ton of pictures. So much history, so much culture, the Astoria has a very good staff, they are multi lingual

Good: Thw old world charm of the hotel was great. We really liked the decor, the staff are very helpful and it is in a great location

Good central location particularly for walking busy road intersection but room very quiet full breakfast very adequate staff very helpful spoke excellent English if that is required we found Budapest delightful would recommend. To any traveller clean easy to get around best avenues in Europe

Very central location not far from the river Danube. Beautiful old world style and historic hotel with comfy rooms - we had a deluxe double with balcony. Hotel is situated right by metro and trams so good transport links too!

We went for my brothers stag do so didnt spend that much time in the actual hotel. The staff were helpful and it is well located with a short walk to the river and the Vinci Utca as well as the nearby bars and cafes.

Good: The spirit of the old world

Good: Very nice room Good attentive service, very helpful staff Good breakfast Great location

Good: Friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Excellent location and restaurant. Availability of refreshments and croissant in morning included in price, as did not want a full breakfast Bad: Twin beds when double bed requested.

Good: The friendliness of the staff, the really comfortable bed, good shower and bath. The graciousness of the decor and ambience which was miles away from a chain type of hotel. Danubius Hotels have connections with a Spa. Hop on Hop off bus booked through hotel with no extras and nearby stop. Bad: Breakfast was a bit hit and miss some times as they ran out of items when the locusts pounced! However the staff were very happy to replenish and the pastries were delicious. The single supplement is unfair on people who through no choice of their own have to travel alone. Perhaps in a group booking a concession could be made especially in quiet times.

Good: The friendly atmosphere, the location was great. The people very friendly and helpful. Right in the heart of the city. Excellent hotel at a good rate.

Good: The hotel is grand elegance. A beautiful place with attentive staff. The bedrooms are wonderful and clean with very good bathrooms with power showers. Very relaxing and good value for money. We ate out a lot as there are dozens of restaurants nearby and the Astoria is right on the metro line and also a short walk to most of the major attractions. It is probably the best located hotel in Budapest. Bad: We had our breakfast out of the hotel where it is cheaper. But they do a complimentary croissant and coffee which was good.

This guest did not leave a comment.

Good: Great location gorgeous hotel friendly staff very accommodating and helpful Bad: The only thing I could fault thrm on was there are no iron in the rooms and when I called down to get one laundry service was closed.

Good: Excellent position on top of metro station with links to all main points of interest. Ideal for a rainy weekend! Bad: Like every other hotel they changed the towels even when they were left on the towel rail as requested in the hotels environmental statement. Breakfast not good value for money

Good: great service.. great location the metro is literaly outside the hotel. the staff is very friendly..

Pros: Position, convenient u/g Astoria Cons: Nothing Facilities: Reminiscent of The Grace ; Value: Affordable; Happily stay there again. Arrived with flu, took ginger, honey tea up to room within minutes of arriving :)

Good: Extremely helpful, professional, yet and friendly staff. Very nice and comfortable room. The atmosphere of the hotel is one of good, solid, tradition...

Good: L'ambiance tres "hongroise" par son décor quasi cinematographique et la gentillesse du personnel .

We had a wonderful time during New Year’s holidays in Budapest… City is fabulous and hotel provided us with everything we expected. Location is nice, not a very far walk to Vaci street (restaurants, shops…) and all the famous sights. We had no complaints regarding hotel and would recommend it to everyone!

Good: Full city centre, classic architecture and decoration, good class old hotel, kind employees. You just have the Metro and Tram under it, free wifi in the lobby. And a McDo just next door.

Stayed here on our honeymoon and loved it. Big balcony and beautiful lobby. Free internet downstairs only, and free small breakfast. Great location, and super helpful staff.

Good: Wonderful hotel with an old-time charm and elegance, friendly and helpful staff. Worth paying a little bit extra for a superior room - spacious, comfortable, characterful. Bad: All reception/concierge staff we encountered were fantastic, but all male only - this might reflect the historical character of the hotel, but is hard to justify in the 21st century!

I had a very comfortable stayand was made most welcome.

Next step to achieve perfection: complete breakfast included in the price!

I had a pleasant stay at your place.

All was perfect, very nice hotel with excellent staff and marvellous atmosphere. The only thing to be considered bad and unpleasent was the small breakfest - coffee with a very little 5 cm croisant....

The room was spacious, comfortable and well-presented. The staff were all very helpful and put themselves out to solve issues and to make our stay comfortable. We were there out of season but the only disappointment for us was that the restaurant was quiet (probably because of the time of year) but the food was excellent, the entertainment extremely good and the staff attentive. We would recomment the hotel to anyone as extremely good value for money and a lovely place to stay.

Very satisfied from my stay with you.

Good: I have to admit I liked everything about the hotel. The room was perfect (especially liked how it was decorated), the bed was comfortable, and even though it was located in the busy area, having the soundproof windows, it was completely quiet in our room. The heating in the room was also perfect. It was nice to return to a warm room after the whole day of walking around in the rain. The location of the hotel is very convenient. The hotel is located just above the metro station. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Really enjoyed my stay! :o) Bad: There wasn't anything I didn't like about our stay in this hotel.

Good: This hotel is lovely. It is in a 1930s-40s theme. Our room was large and comfortable. We had dinner in the Restaurant, which is also in the 1930s-40s theme. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There was even a trio providing music while you dined.

A very well located hotel. Easy to find and a very nice place to stay. Astoria is right by the metro and the 47 and 49 trams stop outside. The staff are very professional and there is a dignified, traditional atmosphere to the hotel, which includes most modern facility. We did not bring a laptop so I don't know what the wifi arrangements are, however there are plenty of places around with internet access. We also dined in the restaurant and had a superb meal. Budapest is a lovely city and we shall certainly revisit and stay at this hotel. If you are new to Budapest we would also recommend that you consider taking the airport minibus to directly to your hotel. This was affordable and was very convenient both on the arrival and departure to the airport.

Good: location Bad: old fashion

Good: Cosy classic style building initially built as hotel, not quick'n'dirty redesign of soviet era office property. Carpeting is everywhere. Quiet, comfy, clean. Most of guests are travelling mature retired pairs. Location of Astoria Hotel is very suitable for exploring Budapest by walking and/or by using public transport. You'll never get a chance to get lost because Astoria is marked on all city maps I've seen since it has "it's own" metro station with entry right at front of hotel doors. Bad: While free in-room WiFi is common practice among most of Budapest hotels, one have to pay for it in Danubius Astoria. But If you happen to get a room at east side (Muzeum korut/Karoly korut) you'll probably be able to use McDonalds' free hotspot.

Good: The room was perfect, with a nice balcony. The king size bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean. Bad: The breakfast was expensive : 15 euros, it was correct but not fantastic.

Good: Staff Bad: No complaints Location Tip: Superb location. Literally steps from the metro. You're close to everything! At first, I thought the hotel is a little dark (as in, not well lit), but I think that's just a Hungary thing. I will say, the staff ALWAYS went above and beyond for every guest. I would gladly recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Very quiet room at the back of the hotel. Easy to walk to the Danube. Metro makes it easy to travel to the station and to further parts of the city. Excellent restaurant.

Good: Perfect price-location. Easily accessible from airport (bus & 1 metro change). Everything is easily reachable, once you are in the city. Bad: Nothing. It was a regular 3-4 star hotel, good service, good price, perfect location close to everything.

perfect place I will come back soon

Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center
Dear Mr. Ganis, Thank you for your stay at our Danubius Hotel Astoria. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and we are looking forward to welcoming you again. Best Regards, Dóra Homola

The hotel is very well situated; it's nice and has an excellent service. Breakfast is overpriced but we opted for the continental breakfast that was included and then had a good lunch later.

This guest did not leave a comment.

Excellent service; quiet, very clean and big rooms. The hotel is full of history and charme. I will highly recommend this hotel for both business and tourisme.

it's a great hotel with excellent facilities. It's in the city centre and has comfortable and clean rooms. The restaurant in the hotel was fine.

I was very happy with my stay at your hotel. The rooms were very large and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. The location allowed access to all parts of the city easily. Good value for the price charged. The only thing that I can comment on is having WiFi int he room would be more convenient. But the WiFi provided in the lobby worked very well and was fast and easy to access.

Good: An ideal location in Pest, modern facilities in an historic building, and just the most helpful and pleasant desk staff one could hope for. For guests who opt not to buy the breakfast buffet, the hotel provides coffee, tea and croissant in the dining room. Truly a delightful experience that added greatly to our enjoyment of Budapest.

Good: Good location, very clean & tidy. Just what you want after a long day sightseeing.
