reviews

Good: character and location Bad: nothing

Good: The room was beautiful - very large and pleasant. The location was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay in Budapest.

Good: It turns out I had stayed at the hotel years before my stay here the other day - by chance, I booked here again thinking it was a different hotel in the area and when I stepped into the lobby, was pleasantly surprised to find out I was back! You are immediately greeted by friendly, helpful staff at the front desk and check in is quick and easy. The room I stayed in was massive with high ceiling, not to mention clean and functional and you are offered the choice of room with a street view or otherwise - I chose street view and so I also had a nice view of the city below. Speaking of, the hotel is situated very conveniently in the city - it's pretty close to several sights and attractions, shops and a tube station so as soon as you're ready to head out, you're sorted. As a side note, I also chose to have the breakfast buffet one morning and that was also good, with a big selection and a nice atmosphere. Bad: N/A

The buffet breakfast was lovely. The reception staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. We will return. Bad: Coffee and tea facilities in the room. Otherwise perfect.

Good: Brilliant location Bad: I liked everything

Good: We did like the hotel location. Breakfast was delicious, there were many variations of food. We came to check in 1 hour before and the room was ready. Helpful was an option to keep our suitcase (free of charge) in the hotel lobby, on the date of check out, so we didn’t have to carry it all day with us.

Good: Breakfast and location were excellent. Beautiful old building with antique furnishings.

Good location, cheap hotel. Old fassion hotel. For 4* I would like to see a little bit more, like slippers ... Rooms: Big with a city view. Has no slippers and no kettle. Walkability: Close to the center. Bus 100E from and to the airport stops next to the hotel. Very convinient Food & drinks: Good breakfast

Good: Location Bad: No spa

I loved the historic feel of the Hotel. Very clean and recently updated. Location is awesome. Easy access to everywhere. Room was perfect. We had the Jr Suite., corner location with two balconies. Bed was so comfortable. We are returning to Budapest later this year and will stay here again. The Breakfast Buffett was very convenient, but disappointing on some days. Still, I recommend the Breakfast Buffet

Walkability: Perfect location! All the attractions are easily reachable on foot!

Good: perfect location Bad: all good

Friendliness of the staff. The hotel restaurant has excellent food at reasonable prices. McDonald is located next to the hotel. Supermarket and dm are 3 mins walk. However, the room that we stayed in was very old and outdated.

Good: Breakfast - very good Location - great (bus stop for 100e bus from/to airport). Very easy to get to most interesting places, some of tgem by foot. Stuff - very nice, friendly and helpfull!!! I had a very plasant stay!!! Bad: Since it is 4* hotel, I think it would be nice to have an electrical kettle and slippers. Breakfast was very good but same all days.

Good: Nice room with tv, fridge, towels, In a good location, metro, buses, even bus no 100E direct from the airport stops opposite the hotel. Nice area. You can go in many places by foot, Parlament, market Hall, restaurants, fashion street, and don't miss to visit Margaret Island. You can go Elizabeth Bridge and pass between buda and pest. Bad: The buffet breakfast everyday the same items.

Good: Location. Cleanliness. Bad: Nothing.

Clean room, comfortable bed. Excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Hungarians excel at cakes and the selection at the restaurant is perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Good: location, cleanness, Bad: cold rooms, we like 23 degrees.

Good: I stayed in a small bedroom for 1 person. It was immaculate. Very impressed with my 3 night stay Breakfast was also excellent. Bad: Nothing

Great location, pretty big rooms and friendly staff upon arrival, what else to ask for a hotel. The rooms were very spacious, a bit noisy due to being located in the city center, but nothing unbearable. We really liked it as it was cozy and comfortable. The reception staff was very very nice too.

Great hotel.

Good: Friendly staff and a hotel right next to the subway station and the other public transport lines. Every part of the city can be reached quickly.

Good: It was very warm and inviting. Having dinner and breakfast options was really good Bad: Not applicable

Superior rooms are great. Standard rooms are a bit dated. Location is fantastic but is noisy as it's in city center. Rooms: Rooms were very hot, opening the windows helped. Walkability: Very close to many dining and entertainment options.

super

Good: We loved the breakfast, very good range of foods. The room was big and spacious and the lobby was very pretty. Bad: We booked the room with a double bed, but there were just two normal sized beds stuck together, which were on wheels, so they moved easily, therefore we couldn't really sleep together. The room had a little bit of dust, but nothing too mayor.

Good: Everything was fine expect the requirement to sign up for newsletters before being allowed WiFi access. Bad: WiFi access requirements. The overly large chair in the room was a blockage to movement.

Good: 1. Fantastic location in the Heart of Pest. 2. Hop on Hop off stop right across the road. 3. Walking distance to most sites. Great Heritage Hotel at very a reasonable price. Bad: Breakfast was great but a bit on the expensive side.

Good: Great location, clean rooms Bad: Needs a bit of renovation

Very nice Nearby activities: Near all thing Safety: Yes Walkability: Near all thing Food & drinks: Very good

Good: Location location location. The room was warm and nice. Big room Near the metro station Bad: Don't have

Good: Location was brilliant, the building beautiful and room was very comfortable Bad: one of the blinds in the room was broken, not a big deal for us though

Good: quirky old fashioned hotel. clean beds could be bit more comfortable. the location was fantastic. Metro just outside the hotel, tram station within 5 min walk . Bus to and from the Airport again 5 min away next to the tram station. restaurants bars all within a few minutes walk. the reception staff are fantastic so helpful can’t fault them. Bad: Breakfast was very basic not much variety. was the same for the 4 days we were there. lots of other places around again within walking distance McDonald’s next door to the hotel.

Good: great location. 10 to 15 minutes walk to most tourist places, but one can access subway or tram right next to hotel. Room size is very large. We did not eat breakfast at hotel so no comment on food. Bad: a bit dated, but it is a historical hotel.

Food & drinks: The service at the hotel restaurant was not great.Unkind waiter who ignores guests.

Good: Location in the middle of the center Bad: I can not say anything about

Good: Ideal location and an excellent breakfast Bad: Would have liked tea/coffee in bedroom

Nearby activities: Near the middle of the center

Ideally situated for public transport & walking

Good: Excellent location Bad: Walls thin could hear people in the next room just talking.

Beautiful hotel in a magnificent location

Good: central location Bad: Missing electric kettle

The location was perfect. The view from our room was amazing, looking out over the city

Good: Fantastic breakfast, really impressed with the location. Easy to explore everything that Budapest had to offer!

Good: I loved the period feel to the hotel and cafe. It is a beautiful piece of history but with modern comforts.

Good: The room was great, everything was new and clean, excellent breakfast and the location is just perfect for discovering the beauties of the surroundings of Budapest.

Good: The hotel acted upon all my requests. The hotel was very beautiful and perfect location. The breakfast was great. Bad: It was clean but I did notice some minor dust in the room (I was bothered by this, but other people might be). The toaster was only cooking on one side.

Good: Location was perfect for exploring Budapest! Great value for money, great hotel!

Great location , even the best location in budapest. Very nice breakfast, very cleen hotel

To be recommended strongly

Good: Location. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.

Good: location Bad: needs some tlc as it’s getting tired

Good: We enjoyed the comfortable rooms and the welcoming stuff, at the great location in the city near to public transportation and historic Landmarks

Good: huge room with huge bed great location in centre of everything lovely bar and restaurant

Good: Good location! Clean and tidy rooms!

The spot was the most convenient for exploring Budapest, the staff was really friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful, clean, and warm and everything was great, we loved our stay.

Good: The staff was very charming and friendly. The hotel was recently renovated which upped the comfort of the rooms by a lot. The hotel still preserved all of it's old school charm but offers the comfort of a modern resort. There is a very charming quiet cafe on site with great confections and affordable pricing. The area is extremely central with 2 large supermarkets within a 3 minute walk from the hotel. They have all the amenities you'd expect such as luggage room, cloak room, etc. There is also a very authentic old school lobby where you can chill before going out to the city. The staff speak several languages and are generally very helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an authentic stay in Budapest. Travellers interested in a nostalgic experience in a hotel with a lot of history should not hesitate. I loved the fact that the TV in the room has a truly international offering with state media from Hungary, Italy, Spain, China, Russia, Germany. You really don't get this in most hotels nowadays. It was one of the best stays we've had in a hotel in quite a while and I travel a lot for work. Would love to return here in the future. Bad: Some of the floors are still under renovation. The hallway carpet is not regularly vacuumed, they were a bit dirty. The cleaning lady was very nosy and came into our room twice during a 1 night stay. For most people this is something very out of line and would warrant a chat with the hotel manager. Unfortunately this is not that uncommon at many hotels so we didn't make a thing out of it. Luckily she backed off after I confronted her on this in a friendly manner.

Good: Good spacey room. Good shower, with a lot of water... And large nice bed. Close to city center

Good: location Bad: room was tired. carpet needed deep cleaning.

Good: Great location Bad: Bedroom in need of TLC and I would say most rooms need modernising

Good: The location is great! easy access to everywhere there is a metro station just next to it but no need to use we walked everywhere. The breakfast is also good with various options. A very cost effective hotel! Bad: There are some comments about house keeping but it was pretty clear. the building is old for that reason some room equipments are old fashioned but to me all is fine!

The hotel catered to my request. Friendly staff and excellent location.

Good: Very friendly staff, classical style, excellent central location, clean rooms Bad: Rooms were outdated, renovation is needed.

Good: very good position Bad: It was perfect for me

Good: Excellent location with easy access to buses and within walking distance of many sights. Very 1920s style hotel. Staff were very helpful with directions. Bad: Room was small and faced a wall. Made us wonder whether this was due to the price. Not worth complaining about for our short stay.

Good: clean tidy and good staff, old fashioned hotel from a bygone era with plenty of charm. breakfast lovely and plenty of it, nice bar and very reasonably priced.

Good: Great location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, large room for location, great value for money. Bad: Parking that hotel recommended (4min walk) is twice the price compared to the parking at museum (5min walk). Also parking at museum is normal garage parkin, while recommendation from hotel is robotized platform lift parking that you have to wait when you pickup the car.

Good: Charming central old hotel with art nouveau character. Spotlessly clean, very well placed for public transport and courteous helpful staff. Highly recommended. Bad: No adverse comments.

Good: very central location Bad: wasn’t a bath in every room, had to ask to change

Good: location, decoration, accomodation is perfect for exploaring the whole city, just next to metro station, next to Calvin square, National museum, 10 min wolk from hotel to Vaci street… nice and clean , good breakfast, very polite staf

Good: closed to the city center Bad: missing coffee corner and a fridge

Great location, room would benefit from renovation.

Good: nice staff, extremely convenient location, good price Bad: hair dryer is old and useless, if you have shirt hair is ok, but if you have long hair, you will cry🤣 The corners of the floor are full of dust, but the bathroom and toilet are clean, but the price (130€/2 nights)I am not going to complain!

Good: IT is really nice and good hotel in the city centre. You could walk to all attractions

Good: Location, room , service Bad: Absolutely nothing!

Good: Excellent location, nice restaurant/café with a tasty menu including fish and vegetarian courses. Overall courteous and clean appearance. Budapest and Hotel Astoria treated us to a very merry Christmas!

Good: . Bad: .

Good: Historical authentic hotel on an excellent location., just 10 min to the central shopping street. Super comfortable bed, cosy and warm room. The bus from the airport stops in front “of the door”. To the direction “Airport”, the stop is 700 m from the hotel. We had a festive Christmas lunch at the Astoria cafe, amazing food and experience.

Good: Everything about this hotel is just great.

Great location,good value for money and authentic experience of Budapest old hotels.

Good: building and lobby is so beautiful!

Good: A fantastic hotel in an excellent location, staff friendly and welcoming. Bad: Nothing

Good: The staff helped us in everything. They cleaned the room every day and it was located near to everything. We also had balcony to view the city which was a bonus for us Bad: Nothing

Good: The location was perfect as the breakfast too. I suggest using their restaurant!

Good: lokalita Bad: nic

Good: The location is great and a walking distance from everything. The room was very big and comfortable, with great view. the 24 hour reception was great for a mid night check in and for very early check out. The staff arranged taxis upon request without any problems.

Good: Amazing, great breakfast, great location Bad: Was to short :(

Good: Breakfast, ambiance, location

Good: Greatest possible hotel, top location, great staff. Beautiful, big, clean rooms. Perfect!!!

Great price, location, service, and shower pressure (important, right?!). This is an old European style hotel with beautiful ornate decor. Simple, but classy. No silly over the top fancy luxuries, but I personally don't travel to a city like Budapest to sit in a hotel. Perfect location. The hotel is walking distance from some of the best sights in the city, and it's also only a 5 minute walk from the 100 bus, which means getting to and from the airport is a breeze. All of the staff was extremely friendly and professional, often going above and beyond. I give it five stars and highly recommend it to any traveler looking for that charming, old European experience. Rooms: Small but comfortable. Nearby activities: Too many to list. Walkability: Walking distance from many of the greatest locations/sights in Budapest. Food & drinks: A restaurant is attached/adjacent to the hotel.

Good: Location was central to our needs, the hotel had character and the rooms were excellent in terms of decor, facilities and comfort. The staff were most helpful. Food, drinks and service were well priced and of great quality. Bad: Nothing at all.

Perfect location for exploring city. 100E bus from airport stops in front. Metro just outside and 2 stops from rail station or short taxi. Walking distance to center and river. Tour bus stop across the street. Lobby and restaurant has old world elegance. Only negative is room furnishings could use upgrade. Otherwise, room and bath spacious for Europe. Definitely a good enjoyable place to stay. Everything close and area safe.
