Nice old style modernised hotel with a history near "everything" in central Budapest. I'd certainly go there again.

We stayed at the Astoria as my wife is originally from Budapest and knows the area very well.She recommended it. I found it clean and the staff were friendly and curtious.All our dining was done outside the hotel for variety. Coming from Vancouver BC I was surprised of smoking and non smoking rooms. You could smoke in the lobby.Small elevators. No fans in the bathrooms was unusual. Overall we were very satisfied and would recommend and would also return.

We found the Astoria an excellent hotel for our four night stay in Budapest. Spotlessly clean and comfortable, it has an old world charm about it. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful and the food was good. Our room was moderately large, well equipped and very adequate though one mattress was a bit thin. The hotel is well situated in central Pest with a convenient Metro line immediately outside. Public transport, as we learned to our pleasure, is free in Budapest for those over sixty. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Budapest and I would definitely stay there again myself; it gave us the base for a wonderful stay in that city.

Stayed 5 nights in October 2010 & found hotel comfortable, central & well maintained. Good-sized bedroom with powerful shower. Staff mostly friendly & helpful. Breakfast excellent with huge choice. Price for accommodation most reasonable.

Perfectly situated and full of character, I would recommend this hotel. The buffet breakfast is excellent but the smoking in the Foyer spoils the atmosphere. The lumpy flock pillows delays sleep.

This rating is for the Deluxe room. We were impressed overall but the shower needed repairing. The room was very comfortable. service is excellent and location is perfect with the Metro right at the front door and easy to use.

This is for standard room. Very clean, comfortable bed and location is perfect. Service at hotel is very good. Furbishings a bit tired, however, ignored as everything else about the room and hotel is great. Certainly value for money

Rooms are very nice, hotel is located right next to the Astoria metro stop, only two stops from the Keleti train station. Only a few easy walking blocks to the main pedestrian shopping street and the Danube river.

This 4 star hotel is located within walking distance to the main attractions in Budapest. Very quiet at night.

This four star hotel with a lot of character lived up to its billing and more. We were able to obtain a very reasonable rate using hotels.com. It was well located (subway just steps away) and within easy walking distance of many of Budapest's attractions. There was very little ambient traffic noise with the windows closed. The room was very spacious. It had a small balcony, it was air conditioned, had a minibar/fridge, a safe, a desk, a small round table and two easy chairs. There was ample closet room, and a superb bathroom (with bidet and hairdryer and piped in sound from the TV). There were two lifts and a restaurant which looked very appealing, though we did not patronize it. The staff at reception was multilingual and very helpful. The only small drawback was that there was no parking and it is located on the corner of two very busy streets, but the hotel has an arrangement with an indoor garage very nearby (with reasonable rates) and that worked out fine. We will return to this hotel and would highly recommend it as we were very satisfied with the overall experience.

I believe that the beds were causing four of us backpain after 3 days, even though the mattraces seemed to be firm and in good shape. The location, right next to Astoria underground station, makes this the perfect place for a long weekend stay, though.

Lovely art nouveau hotel, tastefully furnished with beautiful green granite everywhere! The subway near the hotel was a little grimy, but it could be avoided by using the pedestrian crossing instesad.

Arrived and was told that the hotel was full. My booking had been transferred to another Danubius Hotel. I explained that I had booked this hotel because it was next door to my meeting location. Reception staff not very helpful, but Manager resolved the situation. I agreed to spend one night in a nearby hotel but was given complimentary breakfast at the Astoria for the full stay - with taxis provided. Relocated to Astoria for remainder of stay. Excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Restaurant staff extremely helpful and competent. Room was very nice. Although looking out over a major road junction (with tram stop), the noise was not bad for a city location due to double glazing. I would also recommend the MiniBusz from the airport to the hotel and back - get a return ticket. The hotel arrange the return pick up from the hotel with 24 hour notice.

Staying in this hotel was a very pleasurable experience. It's located in a fantastic position for all of Budapest's sights, most of which are within walking distance. Those that are a little further afield are accessible by the metro which is only a few minutes walk away. The staff were extremely approachable and couldn't do enough to help. Rooms and the hotel in general were very clean, no problems at all.

My two friends and I can't say enough about our stay at the Astoria. Our room was exceptionally appointed--two bedrooms, two bathrooms, plenty of sitting space. The remodelling has made everything fresh and clean. The location is ideal--right at a Metro stop and several bus and tram lines. The buffet breakfast included in the rate was wonderful--we didn't even need lunch after feasting on the wide array of food in the morning. Occasionally, we experienced a little ""stuffiness"" at the front desk, depending on who was there, but everyone else was very courteous, friendly and helpful.

Wonderfull exterior,very grande entrance, very ornate inside,lovely confortable rooms and new modern bathrooms and wc,central location for all sightseeing, staff very helpfull and polite.

I was on business trip and stayed at Hotel Astoria for 2 days. The hotel is centrally located wich was importable for my trip so I could get to wherever I wanted in a short time. The hotel was recently renovated, it?s atmosphere fantastic and looks great. The service was really correct and helpful. I could recommed it everybody.

Astoria was a excellent hotel in all ways. It was also within walking distance of most attractions. 6 of us went for a cultural week-end and we had a fabulous time-would recommend Budapest and Hotel Astoria to anyone.

room very nice and comfortable ,staff very helpful breakfast was wonderful ,buffet style if you could not find something you liked you were very hard to please. great location close to all modes of transport would recommend it to anyone.

Four of us (all pensioners) spent four nights in the hotel in July, during the hottest week of the year. Our rooms had recently been refurbished and air conditioning units had been installed in each room. The units were very quiet and they made the rooms feel very comfortable. Breakfast in the hotel was excellent. We did not have our evening meals in the hotal because we found more attractive menus elsewhere. Our stay was extremely good value for money.

Very nice, old-style hotel with friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast. I will come back.

This is a beautiful hotel with an aristocratic atmosphere of the early XX century. In excellent condition with antique furniture in the lobby and in the room (or very good stylization). The only drawback was the TV the old model in the room, but this was not too important. Very polite and helpful staff. We did not order breakfast, however we were offered a complimentary coffee and a croissant. The location is also excellent.

Lovely 'old world charm' hotel. Slap bang in the middle of the city centre with easy access to everywhere. Room was very clean. Breakfast buffet had plenty to choose from. The coffee and drinks bar kept true to the Edwardian style of this lovely old hotel.

Great Hotel, well located. Rooms a little tired. Good Breakfast and would definately stay again

The Hotel staff are incredibly helpful, they had double booked our room so upgraded us to a bigger suite. They were always willing to give suggestions and very friendly. The hotel room(s) were clean, comfortable and everything was very easily accessible. The only minor detail was that we would have liked to have an iron in our room for easy access but otherwise excellent service. Thank you for a great stay in Budapest!

Loved the location. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Very satisfied with Danubius Astoria Holtel. As others have stated, don't eat breakfast here. Dinner we had was so-so and not worth the price. Very friendly, English speaking staff.

The Astoria is a great old lady. The hotel was built about 100 years ago and has the look and feel of that era. The hotel staff is very helpful and fluent in English, French and German. The location is near a metro stop and only two stops from the main train station (keleti station). The only negative is that the breakfast, while very good, is overpriced at 20 euros per person. The hotel provides complimentary coffee and a bread roll for breakfast and my wife and I ate at a bakery near the hotel each morning. You will not be disappointed if you stay at this hotel and the price is reasonable.

We did not realize this is the oldest hotel in Budapest. Very well kept. Excellent staff. The croissant and coffee in the morning great. Very knowledgeable about Budapest and really protective so as tourist we are not victims of scams. We will, without hesitation, recommend this hotel. Right close to everything: tram, metro, train, hop hop off bus stops a few meters from the hotel. Hotels.com really has good judgment when offering us hotels. THANKS hotels.com and THANKS to all the personnel of the Astoria.

Excellent hotel quiet,convirnent and great location desk very well informed and helpful

I was very pleasantly surprised at excatly how very good The Astoria Hotel was. Surely I expected it to be nice from my research, but was completely unprepared for the high level of quality it actually achieved. It was, in fact, the best of the four hotels I stayed at on my trip. First the location could not have been better, with the Metro literally outside the door of the hotel. It was on a beautiful street in what seemed to be the center of the city. The staff was outstanding and - from the time I walked in the door - wouldn't even allow me to carry my own bag. On my second day at the hotel, I had to make an emergency call overseas, and was having trouble understanding how to make the call from my room, so an attendant literally come to my room and made the call for me! When I let them now my next travel plan, they literally handled every aspect of my shuttle pick-up the morning I left, The morning I left, I even had a great conversation with the desk attendant about the New York Knicks as he wanted to know if they made the 8th seed in the playoffs! (lol). Excellent experience.

No coffee machine in my room

The Hotel staff are outstanding they where welcoming from when we arrived earlier than normal check in but showed us to our room on the fifth floor which was very very good for the cost ! Reception gave all help and advice required I left my new specticles on a hop on hop off bus and mentioned to the staff on my return I couldn't read without any it was late afternoon before bank holiday commenced they directed me to a shop who sold reading glasses and called the bus company whom called them to say a pair had been found and staff directed me to their head office on a Sunday where staff handed over my glasses what a great and unbelievable result and I cannot thank the staff enough, the hotel is lovely, restaurant food Excellant the long weekend was exceptional thanks to all and I will return to Budapest and especially this lovely oldie hotel well worth the visit and value for money., cannot recommend highly enough.

We were so pleased with our hotel. It was a super location right at a subway stop (although the subway wasn't running - the bus system was great). The room was large and comfortable. There were also restaurants and stores nearby.

A reptionist , Fanni , helped me to print of my flight boarding cards , she was very helpful.

great hotel in a very convenient location -- you can walk to all major sites in Budapest from here. Plus, hotel has a fascinating history!

Loved this hotel. Room was very comfortable and air-conditioned. Reception staff were most helpful. Decor of hotel was very nice. Our reservation did not include breakfast, so we ate at several cafes in immediate area. Hotel is right at the corner of Astoria metro station with excellent bus, tram and metro connection. And an easy walk to the Great Synagoge, the Danube River, St. Stephen's and many other sites. I would recommend this hotel most highly.

It's a good place in an excellent location. Very solid service and a wonderful deal for the cost. I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was great. It was in a great location and we were upgraded to a deluxe room when we checked in. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff was superb! Extremely helpful. Will stay here again.

Very helpful staff and offered a nice breakfast buffet for a reasonable price.

Located very close to city centre, and only 5-10 mins walk to suspension bridge over the Danube. (but thankfully not so close as to be under water as the Danube was flooded when we were there.) Very helpful staff with excellent quality of English. (although the guy who stored our luggage for us expected a tip.)The room was superb with an excellent view of the city from our balcony. There is also a beautiful restaurant in the hotel which has won 2nd place in Hungary/Poland/Czech and Russia I think. Its very pricey for Budapest but average price of western restaurants and definitely worth splashing out when there. My only criticism would be you had to pay for wifi in the rooms but it was free in the reception area, which also had plenty of comfortable seating.

Very happy with our stay. Would go back in a heartbeat.

wonderful staff was extremely helpful in all respects

After a poor experience at a B&B in Rome, my friends and I were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of stay we had at Astoria City Center for an affordable price. Upon our arrival (and throughout our 4 days stay) the employees were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful with everything. The rooms were very nice and comfortable and clean. The hotel was also located very conveniently for most sight-seeing and some nightlife. I highly recommend the Astoria City Center, especially because it is affordable. It should be rated higher than it currently is.

This hotel is a beautiful with very polite and helpful staff, nothing was to much trouble to explain and they know the local area well. We had room 305 it has wonderful views and is of good quality. I would say stay here as it is close to everything walking and near hop on hop off bus tour stop.

Charming. Decadent. Opulent. There are so many adjectives I could use. But I think the most important one is personality. It takes just three seconds to decide on the character of a hotel - and the Hotel Astoria in Budapest is like a woman of a certain age who has learned the value of intelligence and good manners. It's this knowledge that gives the hotel a rare kind of charm. The staff are polite and speak excellent English and German. They will help you book a trip to the baths, a taxi or a meal without missing a beat. And, if you like a little breakfast with your stay, the buffet is wonderful - and filling. The hotel itself is right next to a metro stop and in easy walking distance of literally dozens of sites and restaurants. Frankly, big chains are a bit of a bore because they are all the same. They lack individuality and warmth - things the Astoria has is spades.

Hotel Astoria is a great 4-star-hotel in the very centre of Budapest, close to the pedestrian area and maybe 200 meters from the Klothilden-palaces. The building does not look very special from outside, but it has 126 rooms and 5 elegant suites and a great interior - see some pics on the link below ! Unique Quality: Hotel Astoria is in the very centre of Budapest, and their prices are quite high on a first view - BUT simply check for their package-offers and you will get 3-day-arrangements including breakfast-buffet, 2 meals and transfer from and to the airport for a really reasonable price - you just have to book it in advance ! Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

I would highly recommend this hotel, even though it is a little bit on the expensive side :) The staff is more than friendly AND English-speaking (which is not that common in Budapest), the rooms are very clean and spacious, air-conditioned, with TVs, mini-bars, telephones and radios. The reastaurant is also huge and serves fantastic food. But the best thing is, of course, the location-as you may gather from its name, it is located virtually next to the Astoria metro station, which means that you are within walking distance from all famous sights of beautiful Budapest Unique Quality: The one thing that may be a problem is that this hotel does not have its own car park, so if you are coming by car, make sure you bring money for the public parking :) Everything else is just perfect!:) PS: They give huge discounts for online booking- how did you think I got there in the first place? :)) Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Hotel: From the outside certainly very 'venerable'. The night lighting compensated however for sure once still notwndige Fassadenrekonstruktion. Inside great, very clean, great breakfast room. The staff spoke English, you will find but also very good German speaking front desk staff, the also gladly informed touristic instructions gifts. Audience international. Location: Right on the metro access. The city via public transport (like we also) want to see, is the place! Service: Contrary to other Critiques: everything staff was friendly! Food: Top breakfast, with warm-shares, much fruit, salads, juices... And the ' Körnerfreunde ' their moneys worth Room: We had a deluxe room in the sixth floor, this (and because of the soundproof windows) we felt not by noise from the street troubled. Advice: We have this hotel through detours at a fair price and were completely contented. Again at any time!

The hotel is at an amazing location. The front desk was always very helpful and everyone spoke English. They can plan your day for you and give you suggestions on where to go. Our shower-head was broken, when we let them know they fixed it immediately. Great service.

We paid only 60 GBP for a twin room with a child's bed in. The furnishings were amazing, the room had aircon and it was quiet enough despite facing the main street. Only criticism - the walls were clearly too thin as next door's banged on our wall requiring the noise being kept down and we weren't so loud. The TV could have been with channels you didn't have to pay for too, but I really am nit-picking now. We didn't have breakfast and at 14 euros a head you can forget it. Great value, close enough to walk into the city (10-15 mins) and easy to get to by metro or bus.

Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center is located just at the exit of Astoria metro station. Its very convenient and allows to travel around the city fast. It's also close to tram that travels around the city and bus that goes to the other side of Danubius river (directly to Gellert baths). Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful and speaks good English. Breakfest is rich and tasty. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Budapest. It's a very good deal for the price.

The hotel is great! Clean, large and nice rooms, great stuff down in the reception, a very good and not so expensive restaurant in the lobby, a huge!! breakfast etc.. The only minus i've found is that there i no free wifi in the rooms and it costs a lot of money. If i'll visit Budapest again i'll definitely stay there again! P.S I found a very cheap offer in Hotels.com and it turned out i've paid almost half price than the other people that were with me in the conference...

Great location, clean room & well serviced. Good breakfast with lots of variety, but expensive. Staff very helpful. Free Internet "in rooms" is a MUST, in this age! We went next door to McDonalds for a coffee to contact home.
