reviews

The metro is right at the door, a little coffee shop near by and a few restaurants. You can also walk to everything if you have the time. The metro is clean and very easy to use. There are stops near every major sites. The restaurant in the hotel is beautiful but serves mostly Hungarian food. Good for one night maybe but there are many restaurants within walking distance, about 10 minutes. The staff is very courteous and efficient.

Good: The hotel looks like a slightly faded Grand Hotel - you can imagine what it would have been like before the war. Don't let that description put you off the rooms are very comfortable and the staff very helpful. It is in an excellent location right next to the metro and a short walk from the Elizabeth bridge. Bad: Nothing

Nice decoration, spacious room, good breakfast with many food varieties. Staff are nice and helpful too.

Good: PERFECT LOCATION .SIMPLE HOTEL BUT CLEAN. THE STAFF IS PERFECT .THEY DID EVERITHYNG TO MAKE OUR SEJOUR PERFECT . LOVE IT I WILL COME BACK Bad: THE ROOM IS SMALL BUT COMFORTABLE

Good: Don't need 200 words, everything was perfect. Bad: Can't think of anything.

Great location, beautiful design

Nice down centre at Budapest good eateries around.

Great location, beautiful design

We will be back danubius Astoria hotel next time

Good: Warm friendly and very helpful staff. Nothing's too much trouble. Bad: Nothing.It was an excellent Hotel.

Good: Good breakfasts, comfortable room, very clean, well sound proofed, good location near shops and restaurants. Helpful staff. Bad: Only 1 thing, only 2 pillows on the bed. Would be nice to have more available in the room.

Good: Astoria has a very friendly atmosphere. Fantastic air condition which was really needed on these extremely hot summer days and nights. Great breakfast and we did not hear anything from our neighbours and hardly anything from the hard traffic in the streets. Bad: The hot weather which was not Astoria's fault. Many homeless people and drug addicts in and around the metro station (neither was this the hotel's fault.

Excellent service, everybody is helpful and smiling. Slept really well on a comfortable bed. Central location, very close to inner city restaurants and museums. Very clean and reasonably quiet for central location. The restaurant deserves a separate filling in in as its brilliant as well, with good portions, absolutely delicious and reasonably priced too.

Great place to stay

Good price, environment and close to the city center

Good: Our reception guy Tamar was a highlight and added so much to our trip! He is the friendliest hospitality person we met!!! Thanks tamar! Great great location and very friendly hotel! Bad: Would have liked more 4-star-like amenities!

Good: Place,the staff,cleane Bad: Breakfast not so rich

Good: Very nice hotel, very clean and comfortable. Brilliant location. Bad: The charging wall socket was partially broken and somewhat hanging off the wall.

Good: Room was spacious, great location. On top of the metro red line Bad: Asking for a tip when storing our bags on check out.

We had an amazing stay. The hotel was fabulous, opulent with very helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast choices were excellent. The decor was gorgeous. We loved the city, our first visit and will be recommending it to family and friends. Stayed 4 nights but wished we had been there longer.

Excellent from arrival to departure, great location and very friendly, courteous staff made the whole experience a pleasure, would highly recommend this hotel.

Grand classic hotel. We had a very spacious 2-bedroom suite for a couple and older child. Modern facilities, public transit out the front door, retail and restaurants in the area. Very good value.

Good: Our friends had a room that the air conditioning worked but didn't keep the temperature cool enough for comfort. The person cleaning the room turned our room air conditioning off the first day, we get back after a long day in the heat and the room is hot! I put sign on the thermostat to not touch. Once that was figured out my room stayed comfortable. Room temperature in the summer is a BIG deal! The people were wonderful, even supplied us a packed sandwich, juice box, and some fruit since we were leaving at 4:00am. I explained how much luggage we had and they arranged for a taxi van that would accommodate 4 people and that much luggage. Overall a great stay, people helpful, breakfast great, and location perfect. Bad: When you travel with friends and their room temp just isn't comfortable it can make it miserable for 2 of the 4 people, in this case that's what happened. Overall the people, breakfast and the location is perfect.

What a beautiful & historic hotel this is! Front desk very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast!

Good: Excellent location, helpful staff, great value

Good: The constant attention and readiness to help of all the personnel! Bad: Zero

Good: The old fashioned elegance of the hotel Bad: I don't have any criticism of this hotel

Lovely room, fantastic breakfast, and friendly and helpful staff.

Highly recommended. . Will stay here again if I come back .

Great place to stay

Bad: Reception attitude

Good: We loved our staying at Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center a lot. Everything was perfect and we would definitely like to come back there again. Most of all I`d still like to mention about the very nice and friendly staff who work in this hotel, beautiful spacious room with a nice view and very good buffet breakfast which we really enjoyed every day of our staying at Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center. Thank you a lot!

Good: Breakfast choice was excellent. Concierges were helpful, practical & professional.

Good: See above Bad: See above Location Tip: See above This hotel is very convenientally located near the Metro system providing good access to all the tourist sights. The reception and restaurant areas have all the grandeur of a bygone age. The layout of the hotel has the characteristics of a very long established city centre, central European hotel. My room was the lowest priced but was very comfortable and clean and well in line with the standards which I choose as an extensive and aged world traveller. (The paintwork was a little battered in places but this does not affesct the quality of the stay.) The staff were, without exception, welcoming, polite and helpful in every respect

Great location for our week long stay. Grand old hotel with spacious rooms, comfortable beds and very well appointed. Quiet and had excellent air con. Separate doonas on queen size bed- a great idea. Helpful concierge and staff who go out of their way to assist. Breakfast catered for everyone with lots of choice available. Very close to cafes, bars and supermarkets. Easy walking distance to Jewish Quarter, City centre, Ruin Bars and city markets. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Budapest.

Good: Pretty much everything. The breakfast was especially good as it had a wide selection. Bad: It would have been nice to have a kettle in the room with which to make your own hot beverage drinks. Must admit we didn't actually ask for one. Location Tip: As above. Excellent. We stayed for 5 nights and the hotel was ideally located to explore the city. Easy access from/to the airport. Located on the Tourist Hop On Hop Off bus routes and easy walking for the city centre. Numerous restaurants also within easy walking distance. The hotel has an old fashioned charm but with excellent facilities and charming staff.

Good: quite , clean rooms and helpful staff Bad: maybe repair the bathroom inside door and have a tea/coffee tray Location Tip: close to the Danube shops and river restaurant with hop on hop off bus We had a most enjoyable stay in Budapest and stayed for three nights in the Astoria , the hotel was quite , clean, great wifi, front desk most helpful and efficient . The rooms were comfortable , quite ,with a good wall safe .

Good price, environment and close to the city center

Good: old world charm and the staff were very polite and helpful arranging taxi's...and informing you of places to see and visit in Budapest.. Bad: nothing it was how I expected ...

Good: The hotel is in a great location, the staff were very nice and helpful. The room was very clean with a street view it was a pleasure to be at the totel.

Wonderful hotel! I stay there every year. Charming and great location and great staff.

Had a fantastic stay, location was brilliant and the hotel was clean and tidy and the staff were excellent and very helpful. Recommended.

Good: An excellent breakfast

Good: The friendly and over accommodating staff look after you. Bad: Exterior of the hotel needs a facelift due to the city traffic pollution. Location Tip: The hotel is situated centrally, with the Jewish Quarter 600 metres away to the east and the River Danube 1200 metres away to the north. Danubius Astoria transfers you back to the 1920-30's, with stylish interior furnishings. Excellent restaurant and if you like a tea room with a variety of cakes and gateau's whilst listening to a Viennese string quartet this is the place for you.

Good: The room was was well planned and equipped, very comfortable. The room and public areas are airy and stylish. The reception staff were very helpful. The breakfast was good and varied. It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel.

Good: Service,location,

Excellent location, easy local transportation.

Good: Restaurant excellent value. Staff especially Laszlo Zsida - Head of Operations - very helpful Bad: Noise from the street outside is constant - even through the night. Underground station is next door as well as the major road junction . Lots of midges in the air in Budapest so leaving window open can be an irritation at times

We stayed here in December 2016 and our stay was amazing! Rooms were dated, but that only added to the classic feel of the hotel. Breakfast was delicious, and the hotel was a great price. Close to many attractions, a subway station, and more. A must stay for those visiting Budapest!

Good: The location was fabulous and even though it was in the centre of a busy crossing we couldn't hear anything in our room. Bad: Nothing Location Tip: Located right in the middle of everything, 5 minutes from the Jewish area, 10min walk from the bridge over to Buda. After deciding to visit Budapest for my husbands 30th birthday, we looked over hotels and chose this one and what a great choice. It's a gorgeous hotel right in the heart of everything. I even asked if they could do anything for my husbands birthday and they put a bottle of bubbly in the room and let us check in early. Very polite staff and so comfortable. Highly recommended.

Good: location Bad: reception is old should be rennoveted as furniture

Good: excellent location, very helpful staff, old european style building

Very good staff that provide great service. We are very happy that we picked this hotel. It is close to many attractions, walkable distance to Chain bridge, National museum, the market hall, St. Stephen Basilica, the great Synagogue and even the Parliament. It is also close to the Metro that made it easy to go to the Hero squares and try the thermal bath. Easy access from airport to the hotel via a bus and then metro.

Great location, kind and helpful staff, clean room, comfortable bed, strong shower with decent sized bathroom, and a balcony! It was right around the corner from the big Synagogue, close to the grocery stores, and shopping. It was easy to get to all of the sites either on foot or my metro. Price was right!

Nice location - good service - nice breakfast. Altogether a splendid choice.

Good: Historical site with rich ambience. Offered individually brewed capuccino for breakfast on top of general menu. Bad: No pool. Pillows too soft.

Good: nice big rooms really relaxing stay Bad: Tea and coffee making facilities in rooms would be a nice touch. Location Tip: Excellent location plenty of bars and restaurants nearby hop on hop off bus stop just outside hotel The hotel is really smart and near to hop on hop off buses, and lots of bars and restaurants. The food in the restaurant was amazing and afternoon tea and cakes looked good although we did not go in. The rooms were very spacious with comfy beds , the shower was very powerful the only downside to the room was no tea/coffee making facilities but it did have a nice fridge with drinks and nuts in . Fives minutes walk and you are at the river will definitely stay at the hotel on our next visit.

The hotel was very nice, great service and friendly staff. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Take a walk to the Thermal pools or a dinner cruise.

Good: Next door to Metro station. Great place for walking to everything or catching train. Older place with great character and charm. Staff very pleasant and helpful Bad: Didn't have enough time to really sit back and enjoy breakfast

A step back in time to a more elegant time. But still great service.

Good: Frühstück war super!

Good: Clean of the room. Very nice staff Bad: Nothing to say

Good: Excellent old world harm with today's services. Staff very commodating and breakfast buffet great Bad: Nothing

Good: Staff were very friendly and helpful, great breakfast selections. Beside the metro and near everything. Bad: Room was a little tired looking.

Good: Excellent breakfast,very helpful and professional staff,lovely building,comfortable room,room to side street was very quiet , very effective double glazing.Bae staff excellent. Bad: The only issue we had was to do with taxi transfer to airport.We asked the hotel to book us a taxi and gave them a card for the company we had used from the airport-Fotaxi. We were told by hotel staff that they were busy but they had booked us another taxi ,we asked how much this would cost and were told it would be 7,500 huf same as taxi we originally wanted to book.However once on the way we realised there was no meter in the taxi though in all other respects it looked like an official taxi.The driver, a young woman was friendly but detoured from the main route though the journey did not take any longer than on the way in.At the airport the driver asked for 12,000 huf which we refused to pay as this was not the price quoted but the smallest we had was a a 10,000 note which she took . Interestingly an elderly couple who left our hotel just before us did not have the same problem but the taxi driver who brought us from the airport warned us about this.It was a sour note to end the trip onand was disappointing in terms of the hotel as in all other respects they were excellent. My advice would be to only use Fotaxi who are very easy to deal with and give you a detailed receipt ,they have an app you can download .

Good: Very good experience Bad: n/a Location Tip: It is at an intersection where tour busses, groceries, good restaurants, etc are just minutes away. This could not have been a more pleasant experience. The hotel is clean, convenient and attractive. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were comfortable. It is at an intersection where tour busses, groceries, good restaurants, etc are just minutes away.

Very nice hotel and very nice service. Well located and very good breakfast.

Good: Excellent location, nice retro decor, good restaurant for dinner with fair pricing and excellent cuisine, polite staff, good bath amenities Bad: Bed mattress was as hard as a board and jiggled like a trampoline whenever my partner moved.

The hotel was in a great location. It was close to everything and easy to get access to public transportation.

Good: Position, value for money...

This hotel is in a great location and seems close to everything. The staff at the hotel are so friendly abd helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable and the size was good. The breakfast was excellent and included in the room price. The hotel is right on the astoria underground stop. I would definitely stay here next time.

Good: Very pretty, old world setting with modern conveniences. Bad: Front desk staff could use a few lessons in friendly customer service.

Excellent location. Got upgrade to junior suite. Only negative point is street noise. Breakfast is excellent. Staff is very helpful.

Good: Came off a cruise ship and the room was ready early for us. Great location, room very big and loved the decor. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Bad: Only thing the pillows were not comfortable, also since it is in the heart of Budapest it can be very noisy with traffic and sirens, but could walk every where.

My favorite hotel so far in Budapest. So comfortable beds that will make you sleep great. I will return again. Loved it!

Good: Great location, beautiful interiors, good breakfast.

Good: Maintained a faded old fashioned charm. Bad: More pillows for each bedroom and maybe a swimming pool? Location Tip: Many restaurants available and nice ones down by the bridges. Also, very close to the Jewish quarter and worth doing the "walk". Short stay of 5 nights and served excellent breakfast. Very close to the metro and trams.

Good: The environment, the friendly staff, the location, the service, overall we will recommended to our family and friends. A beautiful building from 1914 Bad: Keep the good work. Location Tip: We went to the market , we use the trolley line 49 to go , we use line 2 Astoria subway and we moved all over Budapest , great gyros closed by We really like the friendly staff, I am an executive chef from a international company and customer service is in my priorities, they work hard to make sure that everybody enjoyed their time in Budapest. Great location, closely to main subway line and bus lines, we use public transportation and was very easy to move around

Everything was up to our expectations - and then some more. Would choose same hotel again happily.

Walking distance to everything! Hotel has old world charm but rooms are modern & clean!

Good: Large, spacious rooms: high ceilings everywhere. Impressive breakfast buffet and stylish coffee shop/bar for those in-between refreshments

Good: Excellent accommodation, clean, spacious, excellent room service, location was very handy for everything. Would highly recommend

Good: Staff was very helpful and friendly! Restaurant was beautiful and food was delicious. Bad: I had a complaint about the taxi to the airport, and the hotel made it right again. Very impressive!

Good: The grand hotel feel. Staff. Access to public transportation and central location Bad: Buffet breakfast is very nice with adequate staff but could use a few " professional waiters" Location Tip: Great location that is near to everything with easy access via the public transportation - Metro, bus and trams- so all attractions are easy to get to Very lovely hotel in the center of the city.. Helpful staff Nice breakfast and very easy access to public transportation

Very central location next to subway station and across the road from the Hop on, hop off bus stop. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff on reception who were always happy to help. Buffet breakfast was super with plenty choice. Room lovely and freshly decorated. Would stay there again.

Our party of four were upgraded to suites which were very spacious with plenty if sunlight It was very convenient to have Tea coffee making facilities in the room

Super hotel, central to all we want....great reception staff, could not do enough for you. Fab breakfast too! The whole city is just a fantastic abundance of mega friendly locals and the most amazing architecture....well worth the visit. Looking forward to spending our 32nd wedding anniversary tomorrow in such an awesome place.

Loved this hotel, it is clean, perfectly located. Staff is helpful and friendly. View from the top rooms is really nice. We had coffee and tea service in our room. They have a beautiful café next door. the building is a landmark.

Location Tip: Walking distance to the river - take a cruise. Walking distance to the hot spas. Great hotel and we had a great stay. The hotel is a clean, cosy, homely place in a beautiful ornate building, centrally located at the Astoria metro stop and near the river, with easy access to metro, tram and bus transport. We had a lovely spacious room, well serviced, and the easiest safe ever to use. The customer service is outstanding. The staff are friendly and very efficient – the manager Mr. László Zsida made us very welcome, and the other desk staff were very helpful. They gave us advice on tourist activities, and booked the spa, river cruise and bus ride for us. On the last day, we were scheduled to be collected by a bus for the airport but they never showed up. Mr. Attila and the other staff were very helpful – they rang the company, when they wouldn't come they organised a taxi for us, told the taxi driver we needed a receipt and helped us on how to proceed from there. Marvellous hotel, we thoroughly recommend it.

Historic hotel in the City Centre, Classic styling with super friendly and helpful staff and a fast and efficient concierge service as there is no parking onsite and we had to park on the super busy road out the front. This was made easy with the speedy service provided in grabbing our bags and getting them inside. The front desk spoke English so made communication easy and the facilities inside the hotel were of a high standard. The rooms are clean and spacious although stil ... l retain the historical look and feel with rugs on the floor (which I hate as they move but that’s my personal preference). The shower was good with plenty of warm water and the Wi-Fi and air con spot on, must say although our window opened onto the busy street below we did not hear any road noise. With everything so close we did not eat at the hotel as an easy walk and you were surrounded by up market shops and restaurants, even walking home one night alone I felt safe which was great in such a busy city. We did experience with afternoon teas while staying and they were yummy with great service once again. If you want a hotel in the city centre within walking distance you cannot go past this one.

Really good hotel! Friendly staff, great location and wonderfull rooms. I'd stay here everytime I visit budapest.

Old world charm in the bustle of a vibrant modern city... the staff have the right blend of formal and friendly... the public areas could be the set of a period drama with polished wood, marble and glass. Located within a minute's walk of the Astoria metro station, in sight of the Elizabeth bridge and a few minutes walk from Vaci Street shopping... food is good, location is great.... would I stay here again? In a heartbeat.

Loved the hotel. You can walk to everything easily and there are lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooms were very quiet and we loved the old Hungarian style of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent service, great location, awesome breakfast and the staff is so fantastic. Truly enjoyed the experience. Thank you so very much.

Good: Great breakfast buffet plenty of choice of both hot and cold food. Location perfect for getting around to see sights on foot or bus and to eat out in evening. Bad: Dinner menu choice a bit limited and food average and did not taste quite as good as it looked on the plate. But residents get 10% off the restaurant down the road which had a wider selection and great cocktails

Good: Tutto

Good: Plenty of choice for breakfast, staff friendly - spoke English, rooms clean and towels replenished regularly. Bad: No bar at night. Or if there was we weren't aware.

Good: Everything was perfect! They gave us everything we wanted and the staff were great Bad: The only gripe was their Wifi would not easily connect to android phones and was intermittent
