reviews

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.

Good: The overall politeness and linguistic skills of all the staff.They are also a mine of information about their city. Bad: The fact we could only stay for a week. There was nothing about the hotel I did not like.

Good: The location. Bad: We would love to see ice machines in the hallways. Location Tip: Metro, subway, bus, near Erzsebet sq. Ferris wheel, market place, castle hill accessible by bus, all tour busses close by. Danube 8 minutes by foot. We were within walking distance of many of the sites (bridges, the market place, etc,) we wanted to visit and the the ones that we could not see on foot could be reached easily reached by bus or subway. The location is just superb! Many great restaurants, ruin pubs plus shopping close by.

An excellent hotel, historic and has lots of character. For this price especially, you can't go wrong!

Good: Restaurant entertainment.

Good: everything Bad: nothing

The favorable exchange rate for U.S. dollars in Hungary makes a historic hotel like this affordable for budget travelers like myself. The staff were friendly, the buffet breakfast was excellent, and the inclusion of a free one-day pass to the Gellert baths, with their beautiful mosaic tiles and stained glass, is an opportunity not to be missed.

Good: Great staff always helpful. Great breakfast options. Location also good.

Great hotel. Wonderful service.

Good: de bediening

Good: 'Grand hotel' in the old- fashioned sense of the word but in a very good way - helpful, charming staff, huge bedrooms and baths, lots of dark polished wood and wonderful breakfasts. Excellent location within walking distance of most attractions & metro. Bad: Book /pay for breakfasts in advance or they are expensive.

Good: Located right next to Astoria metro station, and near a load of great restaurants. Food at the hotel itself was excellent.

A great hotel with character and charm. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel is situated right outside a metro station and the hop on/ hop off stop is across the street. It's less than a 10 minute walk to the river front and there is a good selection of restaurants nearby. Wifi works well and breakfast has a great selection on offer. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel!

Good: Location, clean rooms, luxurious breakfast, courteous staff Bad: Worn out furniture I stayed 4 nights in the hotel and had a great time. The location is great, probably the best of all of Budapest's hotels. 10 million restaurants and cafes within 1 mile, lot of shopping, the subway station is literally 15 steps away. The hotel staff is polite and professional, the rooms are very clean and comfortable with free internet. They offer amazing buffet breakfast for 12 euros that worth every penny. The only thing it should be improved is the furniture in the rooms and the lobby as well. They are stylish but worn out. The rooms closets are a little smelly.

Beautiful and great location to get on foot anywhere.

Good: все!

Good: The hotel was walking distance to many restaurants, sightseeing attractions and shopping. Clean, big rooms. Friendly staff. Modern bathroom. Bad: The air conditioning, even though on high, was not working properly. Room was hot. Location Tip: The Danube was a 5 minute walk in one direction while passing the new shopping boulevard-Vaci Utca.The Jewish ghetto was 5 blocks in the other. We checked in at 9 AM and a room was ready for us. Receptionist(a gentleman) was very helpful in changing currency for us as well as giving us directions to restaurants and sightseeing. Bellhop was also pleasant and helpful. The room was bigger than expected for the price I paid and bathroom was even bigger and very modern. Shower had very powerful stream. For picking a hotel through Expedia, it was walking distance to restaurants, main sightseeing attractions and shopping. Also near bus and metro lines. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to family and friends.

Good: Location, location, location! Beautifully decorated! Friendly staff! Great buffet breakfast! Location Tip: Astoria metro station is right outside front door; within easy walking distance to the Danube River as well the main cathedral and synagogue. This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in! The location is perfect as a metro stop is right outside the main entrance and it is close enough to walk to all the major sites in Budapest. The hotel lobby and dining room as lovely. Our room was upgraded and was so spacious and comfortable, with plenty of chairs and tables, a large full bathroom and even a half bath. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for dinner. There were a few times when we misunderstood one another due to the language barrier, but in the end, we figured it out! I felt it was a good value for the price paid. The buffet breakfast was excellent, although it was slightly crowded at times. The staff also assisted us in arranging an early morning taxi for our departure day and provided us each with a bagged breakfast full of goodies. The staff also helped us book a Danube River dinner cruise.

Good: Friendly, helpful service. Amazing quality food at very reasonable prices. Will definitely stay again.

Good: good location and very kind and helpfull stuff .

Good: Everything! The staff was extremely helpful, and the location cannot be beat. Location Tip: Hotel Astoria is within walking distance of the city square, the open market, and the Danube River. If you don't want to walk, you can take the metro My daughter and I stayed here for five nights and could not ask for a better hotel. The location is perfect - within walking distance of the city square and a metro stop is right out the front door. If you take the Big Bus hop on hop off tour, one of the stops is right across the street from the hotel.

Good: The staff were excellent and super nice and helpful. Stately vibe to the hotel. Bad: A little noisy from the street but nothing horrific.

Cons: More English speaking channels on the television. Maybe even new tvs. Location: Right on a Main Street. Metro, bus stops right at your door. Ten minute walk to the river. This hotel is one of the oldest in Budapest and has lots of character. Beautiful wood used extensively, lovely chandeliers, and nice furnishings. If you want a modern style hotel this is not for you. It's well situated in a central spot and adjacent to a hop on hop bus stop which was handy. Supermarkets are close by for your convenience. Buffet breakfast was excellent, great range if food for all tastes . We had dinner in their lovely dining room and food not expensive and well cooked and presented. All the reception staff (males) we encountered were very friendly and efficient and best of all helpful. Can highly recommend this hotel especially at the rate we found on Wotif.

Good: really nice location Bad: nothing Location Tip: everything on your doorstep very cheap to eat and drink excellent location hop and hop off bus fantastic , zoo brilliant well worth a visit will def be returning

Excellent value for money. The hotel is in a great location in the center and close to everything. The staff is very friendly. Good breakfast. Luxury and beautiful design. Highly recommended.

Good: Very friendly staff

Good: Beautiful hotel and great central location. Room was spotless and very comfortable.

I had a great time at this hotel. Clean rooms and comfort bed's. Trafic noise is not a problem.

Fantastic hotel. Centrally located food excellent.

Good: Central location, classic style and ambience. Stayed here 3 times on our visits to Budapest. Bad: Unfortunately the breakfast on offer was not as tasty as one would hope for. A slight drop in catering standards over the years

Good: All right!

Good: Friendly, extremely helpful front desk staff. Variety of foods for breakfast. Bad: The room was hot.Opening the window helped, but was noisy. A move to an inner room the 2nd night was much better

Stayed at the hotel for 5 nights. Party of four. Staff very friendly and helpful. Booked into the deluxe room very comfortable. Bathroom very spacious. Buffet breakfast very good plenty to choose from. Hotel is in a good location, just outside from tube and tram.

Had a three night stay there. The location is wonderful: it's 10 min away from one of the bridges, which makes it easy to travel to both sides of the city. The room was quiet, the staff is very friendly and ready to help and answer questions. Very pleasant stay!

Good: we liked everything Bad: wifi disappears very often

Good: The character of the hotel,the history,the staff were very helpful,nothing was too much trouble,room was very big + comfortable,just loved staying. Bad: There was nothing l didn't like.

It was a plesant stay. Location is really great. Very close to the metro (right on the corner), all restaurants, and all sightseening buses stops. Room is very clean, price is very affordable.

GREAT LOCATION. SOME STREET NOISE DURING THE NIGHT. I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN. FANTASTIC CITY

Good: da localização Bad: poderia haver maior oferta de health food no breakfast.

Good: Reception staff and bell boys are friendly and helpful. Beautiful rooms, clean, spacious bathrooms and a restaurant that can take you back in time.

Good: Great location, excellent accommodations, wonderful staff Bad: would have liked to order a less extensive breakfast from a menu. I felt like I had no choice but to go with a rather expensive buffet

Good: The location of the hotel is really very good its middle of the central. The rooms are big and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. What ells do you want ?

Fantastic location, right in the heart of Pest close to Center. Old style hotel with great standards. Comfortable clean rooms with in keeping modern facility's, and an amazing buffet style breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay here in a wonderful yet fast paced city. Would definitely return.

Good: Staff, location, and history Very good, would recommend it to anyone

Good: accommodation, food, polite, helpful staff

Good: The way the hotel retains a feel of its historic past yet embraces all necessary modernity.

Good: Great breakfast selection Spacious rooms Couldn't have been any closer to the Metro Helpful and friendly staff

Good: Location in city center,helpful staff,historical building Bad: Better breakfast Location Tip: Location is right by a metro station about 3 stops from the main railway station.Great synagogue is a five minute walk.Hop on hop off bus is right by

Good: Staff, room, location next to Metro, trams, buses. Restaurant is beautiful and cooking is great. The breakfast was fantastic and my favourite letcho was also available. We will come again.

Good: Excellent in all ways. I paid slightly extra for a superior room which was well worth it.

Good: location restaurant wifi ambiance

Good: Nice area, friendly/helpful staff, clean.

Great place with an old style decorated interior :-) J'adore !

Good: Location was spot on - right in the heart of the city and with an underground train station entrance beside the front door. Also, it is a grand old place with style. I liked the restaurant/dining room.

Good: The hotel located on a crossroad with all the public transportation

Good: Location was first class - all of tourist Budapest is walkable from here and the Metro is actually at the doorstep. Great style in reception and restaurant and clean comfortable room. Great food - especially the desserts. Bad: 1 Long walk to room from lift !! 2. Shower head needs to be replaced - wrong fitting = loose shower head. 3, No additional pillows in room. No serious problems at all.

Bad: when cleaning-ladys come in the morning,they are talking very loud with eachother,a little les noisy would be better very nice hotel, nice staff,good location in the city,close to a lot off interesting things

Good: Location Service Price Bad: Glasses in bedroom not cleaned when used

Good: W loved the classic style of the hotel. We didn't want a modern-all-looks-the-same hotel and we were happy to find the Astoria. Everyone was very friendly and our room was perfectly quiet (with windows closed - otherwise you will hear street noise but not everybody is bothered by it equally). We did not have the breakfast since we prefer to eat out but from what I saw it looked nice as well and is served in the attached restaurant rooms where you can have an oldfashioned drink in the evening as well. We did not once take the bus or the train to move around town even though it would have been perfectly possible with the station right in front of te hotel. But the hotel's position is that central that we just walked nearly everywhere. If I visit Budapest again - and I am certain I will - I'll probably stay at the Astoria again.

Good: The staff really bent over backwards to make our stay (family of 6) as good as possible. Felt like we were the only ones they had to care for (which wasn't true of course). The breakfast is epic, the rooms remind one of movies like 'Room with a View'. We love everyone at the reception.

Good: Highly recommended

Good: Location, staff, restaurant, history. Bad: Coul be cleaner.

A top hotel booked at a killer price, right at the heart of everything in Budapest. Highly recommended!

My favourite hotel!

Good: The service in the hotel is first class. The rooms are extremely comfortable. The location is perfect with tram stop right outside. Stayed here before and will definitely stay again.

Good: Habsburg monarchy décor & style location price Bad: central but drab looking street

Hmmmm, how do I do this review? We booked a better room than standard and got their best suit. Okay the reason was because something was going on In Budapest (believe the EC in water polo and the F1 grand prix) and this was the last room. So I have no complaints and the reception was amazing with a really helpful guy assisting me to find parking. The room we got was something special at this old and classical hotel. But seeing the standard of this room actually made me contemplate about the “average room”. I know that this place has an enormous tradition to fall back on, I know that I am in central Europe but still… Have to try this place out again. Only negativity I have is that I and my girlfriend (who knows how to party) were stopped late night after arriving back from the bars and clubs suspecting her to be a prostitute.

Very very friendly staff, Wonderfull interterior, perfect location. But really, my compliments to all staff members. Thank you so much for taking such good care of your guests.

Astoria Hotel is a great hotel, very professional and rich of atmospheres of other times. Being a journalist I will be happy to quote him even in my articles. All the best Antonio Gentile

A friendly, comfortable, well-located hotel. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts and the friendly people in the restaurant.

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.
