reviews

Good: Perfect location with really friendly and helpful staff. The Winter Deal that gave free access to some of the thermal baths, as well as discount on a river tour was an extra bonus. We'd definitely stay there again! Bad: The breakfast could have been a little cheaper and then we would have had that too - we opted not to include it as it is much cheaper just to get breakfast from many of the cafes near by.

Good: the hotel keeps a traditional service and appearance which have unfortunately disappeared in most capitals of the world. Keep the good work !

Good: everything was just perfect... Bad: parking.

Again a great stay, summer or vinter it`s always a great plasure to visit this old hotel. And the breakfast not to forget.

Good: The Staff, Location, and Decor. Oh, the Window Doors to the Balcony completely blocked out the street noise. Bad: No Clock Radio was different. Location Tip: Less than 50 steps to a subway station, every direction from the Hotel has shops, restaurants, and attractions. I personally like the more charming, older hotels with the unique decor, so I enjoyed that. The Hotel is located in a central, city location, less than 50 steps to a subway station. Every direction from the Hotel has numerous restaurants, both high end and more casual, food markets, shops, pharmacy's, and bars. There is even a Casino nearby as well as tourist attractions within walking distance. What I found most outstanding is that every, 100 percent, of the Staff is very professional. This trip was was to visit a Friend. I made sure the room I purchased would accommodate 2 people. Upon arrival, I asked what rooms were available and was able to choose a lovely room on the first floor with a Balcony. Whether it was just myself, or my Friend and I, every encounter with every member of the Staff was Friendly, Courteous, Knowledgeable, Prompt, and Very Professional. Every Traveler's experience is different, ever rent a Hotel Room in South Beach? The consistency was a real stand out for me. My Guest and I privacy was respected. Sorry I cannot comment on the restaurant or the breakfast as we did not use them, however, there was a Very Fancy Party there on New Years Eve !

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Astoria. For a very reasonable price we stayed in central Pest, enjoying a great breakfast and nice bathroom facilities. One thing to mention is that the beds can be too hard for some.

Good: Location was fantastic Room was very clean Excellent value for money

Good: Very good location, clean rooms, quiet neighbourhood. Delicious breakfast

Good: Everything! Bad: Only a small thing - more English-speaking channels on the TVs Location Tip: Ideal location for exploring Budapest - visit Budapest Zoo and St Stephens Basilica I was so pleased I booked this hotel for our short stay in Budapest. Beautifully decorated throughout with magnificent reception & restaurant. Food was wonderful - breakfast buffet was delicious and included all types of food and drinks you can imagine - something there for everyone! Our room was stunning with high ceilings and a dual aspect over the city. Very clean and tastefully decorated, it felt like we were staying in a grand palace! Even though we over-looked the main crossroads, we couldn't hear the noise of the traffic. Ideally placed for exploring the city. Fantastic staff - they couldn't do enough for us and our young daughter. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to stay in a bit of luxury close to all of the fantastic sights. Grand market hall - 10 mins walk, Buda - 15 mins walk, vorosmarty square & st stephens basilica - 20mins walk

Good: Location and old world decor

Good: The location is absolutely excellent and close to everything. The hotel and its rooms are really worth the price and I have nothing to complain about really. Amazing view from the balcony and great staff. Highly recommend this hotel!

Thanks a lot, I think it was great. Beautiful area and very nice rooms. Great Breakfast. Good dinner also.

Good: Very pleasant and helpful staff. Old world charm!

Excellent position in city. Staff excellent. Spacious rooms. Only down fall the smell in reception of cabbage! Recommend to friends & family.

Good: Loved the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Extremely comfortable. Very close to public transport and in the center of town.

Pros: room to spread out Cons: stress necessity to book breakfast Location: close to public transport and taxi rank right outside. walking distance to central areas of city and Danube River. This hotel was located very centrally. The rooms were spacious, the beds comfortable and the restaurant excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly. The only negative was traffic noise when shutters were open.

Fantastic place gorgeous breakfast stylish throughout friendly and clean

Good: very clean, good location, helpful staff.

Good: Perfect location, excellent personnel. I had to check out at 4 am , but they offered me almost full breakfast at that time . Very good value for money .

Wow, just wow. The rooms are immaculate and the staff are amazing- so helpful!! Would definitely recommend. Thank you for an amazing stay x

Good: All staff were helpful and friendly, and the location of the hotel was excellent. The concierge helped us purchase tickets to the baths and concerts, and arranged taxi service to and from the train station and airport. Bad: The hotel rooms were in need of refurbishing, and the common areas needed painting.

Good: The location and the staff Bad: No that I know of Location Tip: Lot of restaurants and shops. Easy to walk to anywhere in the city. It is very convenience and the best hotel in Budapest. Since there are many exit, please take the exit with the hotel address and you will be right there. The front desk staff Jonathan is excellent. Very nice young man with the positive attitude and all the helpful information to make it very easy to walk around and we also feel welcome. I would highly recommend people book this hotel.

Good: This was an exceptional value, -- less than $100 per night for a large 2 room suite with 2 baths in a central location. Easy walk to many of the sites and exceptional restaurants. Nothing other than good to say about this place!

Good: This is an excellent hotel in every respect! Room, food, staff - all spot on.

Good: Staff were friendly and helpful. One of our suitcases didn't arrive on the plane and we were very late getting out of the airport. We had arranged a transfer with the hotel prior to leaving home. The driver rang the hotel, the concierge rang the airport and confirmed what was happening and the driver waited for us. Reception followed up on our lost luggage and we got it the next morning. They even supplied a complimentary bathrobe to sleep in. Couldn't have asked for more. Bad: Nothing.

Great location- near many landmarks, restaurants, supermarkets, and right by the subway exit; staff are very nice and helpful; clean and very cute rooms.

very friendly personal. the front desk help a lot, breakfast super,excellent price and the locations is #1. excellent we give 4 start to this hotel and we back in the future trip

Good: the friendly staff in the hotel always a pleasure to help expecially the manager thomaz Bad: despite the weather conditions we saw everything that was on offer in hungary

This hotel has been maintained beautifully - gracious. Nice friendly staff. Spacious room (with sheer curtains!) Lovely restaurant. Great location and very quiet despite being on/near thoroughfares. Central to everything - sightseeing, restaurants and supermarket down the road if needed. What more do you want? We stayed 3 nights mid Sept 2015.

Good: Location and the Hungarian dishes.

Good: We had reserved a stantard room and informed that all standaed rooms were full When we arrived for check-in. They exchanged our room with superior one. Thanks for the welcome Bad: Nothing

Excellent hotel in a great location. Very good value.

This place was a treasure, historic hotel with amazing food, including the breakfast buffet. Good location, very professional staff.

Good: Location and nice staff Location Tip: Location is near the mall and the historic attractions- walking distance Best location, center of everything. Hotel staff very accommodating , breakfast is awesome.

Good: Very helpful staff and good breakfast Bad: It was quite near a large main road and so could be occasionally noisy. The walls were quite thin too.

Good: Location, service and interior Location was excellent, from hotel you could easily reach everything by walking or metro. Astor has really beautiful interior decoration from last century. You were surrounded by plenty of charming details everywhere. Breakfast buffet had generous selection and everything was fresh. Room was spacious and amazingly quiet (at least deluxe double at sixth floor). Staff could speak English and had really good service attitude; at first night we had a room with bad smell perhaps from floor drain and they changed it as soon as a possible. Hotel Astor is really recommendable choice if you want to stay in good atmosphere in very central area at reasonable price

Good: Perfect location very helpful and welcoming staff Wiling to suggest and solve any problem Bad: Pillows too small

Good: Hotel was one of those great old fashioned hotels only 10 minutes from the Danube river and the city centre. Bad: The rooms need some tea/coffee making facilities. The towels need to be a bit larger and thicker. Location Tip: The hotel is right on a metro stop and so has great access to Keleti main station, the metro system and connection to the airport. Great service on arrival, helpful staff with transportation information and city maps. The room was quite spacious and well laid out although the bathroom was a little bit cramped, but as it's not a modern building, this is to be expected. You're not going to get a modern bathroom and shower suite but what was there worked well. In fact the shower was one of the better ones, great water pressure and constant temperature. The buffet breakfast was great food but did finish a little early (10:00 am) for the late sleepers, 11:00 am would be better. The internet connection was quite good and the hotel was good enough to print boarding passes. All in all great value.

Our party of nine stayed in the hotel and enjoyed it very much. This will definitely be our choice again. The location is great! The hotel staff was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the restaurant and the beautiful music.

Perfectly located in downtown. Walked everywhere. Great Old World charm. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced too!

We enjoyed great help from the staff. Restaurant food was very good and reasonably priced. Can't beat the location.

Good: Very helpful concierge Bad: Some of the fittings in the room were a bit tired especially the bathroom door. Duvet was rather small. Coffee was dire but that's normal From arrival, the check-in staff made us feel welcome. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Close to everything in Budapest so a good location to be.

Good: Lovely atmospheric hotel at a really low price Bad: None

Good: Location, very good Breakfast, clean and staff.

Good: + Close to center, walking distance 5 mins + It's a historical building, good atmosphere Bad: - Furnitures seem to be tired. TV's are old styles. I don't watch TV, so it was all right for me :)

Good: The management is super friendly and helpful. Loved the old world charm of the hotel. Bad: Nothing negative to say.

Good: Excellent food rooms and service. The best value for dinner and drinks. Beautiful dining room. Large and comfortable rooms and bathroom

Good: the hotel was clean and nicely furnished. The staff was always ready to help. Everyone spoke english. Bad: The buffet brunch was expensive. There was a wide variety of food, but nothing stood out as spectacular. Location Tip: Centrally located. Lots of places were walkable. We took the train to Budapest. The Danubius Astoria was just 2 metro stops on the red line.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect. Walking distance to Metro, Buses, restaurants, shops and just name it. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. Room size was enormous and bathroom was spotless and decent size. Plenty of choices for breakfast, especially the varieties of pastries. If I go back to Budapest I would definitely stay at this hotel.

Good: close to the center Bad: none for now Location Tip: walking distanceb great hotel and close to shopping , train station and restaurants

We got to the hotel early and they took our bags and stored them for us. Upon check-in, we were advised that we got upgraded and they gave us the nicest room in the place! Which was amazing! extremely clean, modern suite with separate bathtub and shower. We even had a second bathroom. :) Nice balcony overlooking the city which provided a great view of the city. The staff was exceptional! Their attention to detail is second to none! The restaurant was absolutely stunning and the menu was even better. Best meal I had the entire trip through 4 countries and the prices were unreal for the quality. I only regret not having the opportunity to eat there more often. Location could not be better. Metro entrance right when you walk out from hotel and many attractions in walking distance! This was hands down the best hotel in Europe I've stayed in and next time I'm in Budapest they can expect a returning guest! Class all the way!

Really enjoyed, the room was very clean, also the hotel environment, the service of officials of the hotel was very polite.

Good: Location and staff Bad: NA

Bad: The include breakfast was very poor!

Good: Great location. Excellent staff. Great price (63 Euro for a room niminally 210). very comfortable, well-designed and equipped room. Would definitely stay again.

Good: Everything. Location is great. Right by the metro, centrally. Clean, wifi excellent. Staff is very welcoming. Will go again and again if I visit Budapest. I will encoursyotgers to stay when they visit.... Bad: No bad experience. I did not eat breakfast because I usually do not. Therefore I cannot say anything about but I am sure it is great as the hotel advertises...

The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The people could not have been much nicer to us. 5 stars

Good: A good character hotel, comfortable and in a good location.

Excellent all around. Staff were friendly and helpful, even when we asked about a last-minute upgrade to our room (which they gave us at no charge). Great location in a good neighborhood, excellent value for a comfortable room. I'd stay here again for sure if visiting Budapest again.

Good: Price, location, breakfast This is a great hotel. The rooms were very nice and the location is pretty central within walking distance of the train station and the Danube. The staff were very nice and competent. Definitely get the breakfast package - its awesome!

I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel! The room was very spacious and clean. The subway stop was right next to the hotel which can take you anywhere you want. Super close to restaurants and tourist attractions! Overall, perfect hotel!

Great location amazing value for the money this is my second time staying in this hotel and i can honestly recommended

Consider that the Metro stop is named after the hotel! Staff was courteous, helpful, efficient, knowledgeable. Room was a comfortable size, with just enough balcony for the classic old-world charm. Too bad: bathroom updated, but a necessity for hotels. At a major intersection on Pest side: Metro directly below, 2 metro stops away from the train station, excellent streetcar access, and 15 minutes' walk from either of two bridges over the Duna. Dining plentiful and varied, nearby or in-house. At least one full-service grocery is within 5 minutes' walk. Air-conditioned. Not a guarantee, but critical during a week where i saw it 42C at 16:30. Price was right! Plenty of consumers will want newer, flashier, trendier hotels right in the thick of things - easy for idiot-proof return from whatever adventures or misadventures in Budapest. I think that approach misguided; part of the experience of grand European capitals is to stay in places with a particular period flavor. As for me: next time in Budapest, i need make no further research than if there's a room available here.

Excellent location. Well maintained and highly recommend.

Good: Especially the location and the old fashion style. Location Tip: The location is perfekt with communication, restaurants, museum and shopping. We have stayed at this hotel several Times. Alway a pleasent experience.

great!!!!! every thing was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good: Excellent location, right in the city center. Easy access to the Metro and to reach all the tourist spots. Lots of restaurants nearby. Big room and comfortable bed. Rich variety of breakfast. Bad: Close to the main street, sound-proofing not good enough.

Customer service was great, staff was really nice and helped us in any way they could to make our stay a great experience.

So good: location, ambience, food, friendly, helpful, way affordable. 2nd time and will return. In particular Tomas at the reception desk. Thank you hotels.com.

Good: The architecture and beautiful restaurant. Lovely breakfast Bad: Nothing I can think off Location Tip: Near to central Cafe. Near to tube line. The staff and hotel were lovely. Centrally placed it made easy access to the tube and various cafes and sites of interest

Good: Staff were classy, attentive, and kind. Hotel and service team maintained an old-world feel, not unlike the recent, "Grand Budapest Hotel" film. Location was very central; air conditioning was good in summer

Good: Not only is the hotel in an excellent location within walking distance of many major tourist attractions, but there is also a metro stop right in front of it. The staff was friendly and very helpful, the hotel is beautiful and clean, our room was quiet despite being downtown, a plug converter was built into the bathroom outlet, the wifi provided a consistently strong signal, there was a safe in our room and a stocked mini-fridge, and they even stored our suitcases the day before we checked in while traveling to another city. There was a McDonald's next door (to my son's delight) and an Aldi just down the block, where they had really inexpensive Hungarian wines and other fun grocery items like Pick salami and sweets. To top it off, the hotel was reasonably priced in likely the busiest tourist season. We could not have been happier with our choice! Bad: Nothing!

Good: Excellent hotel with it's old world charm not destroyed by the necessary modernisations (bathrooms, elavators etc). Serious and friendly personell. Ideal location and big rooms Bad: Nothing really

Nice and clean hotel. The restaurant was good. Superior location!

Great hotel in good location. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Unfortunately we only booked one night as we were unsure of the hotel and location and by the tome we saw how lovely our room was and tried to book an additional two nights for the remainder of our stay in Budapest the hotel was completely booked out. We would have loved three nights there.

Good: The location is just perfect !!! The stuff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended for short visiting of Budapest. Bad: - The room interior is rather old. - The view from the room was to other building in front( just in 5 meters). - the pillow was extremely slim and not comfortable.

Good: Good value - good airconditioning in very hot weather 40+C in July - good concierge /staff - Classic Grand Hotel with long history . Bad: wifi

Good: Quality of the building and décor - convenience to the Vaci Utca - excellent food - Happy Hour in the Café - spacious rooms - attentive staff Bad: Quality of the pillows is very poor for such a nice hotel - some investment is needed in feathers or hypo-allergenic polyester

Good: Location Bad: AC. But doesn't cool like in the good ol USA AC No issues, had a great experiance. Would stay again without hesitation

Great service and location thank you to Tomas who coordinated our family to help surprise our parents on the Occassion of their 50th wedding anniversary

Good: location, room, very nice bathroom. Bad: Bar service was too slow. There were less than six people to serve. Didn't seem interested in waitin on anyone.

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.
