Corinthia Budapest

A grandiose hotel! Exceptional architecture, superbly appointed rooms, outstanding service. We utterly enjoyed staying here!

The hotel itself is beautiful. The breakfast was amazing. The staff were great. The hotel bar in the evening was a little understaffed so it took awhile to get drinks and our bill. Our room itself and our friend’s “suite” was a bit outdated. It definitely could use a refresh. The location was a ways away from the river and where the action is so be prepared to walk a mile or two or take the public transit to get there. But all in all, it was a pleasant stay and I wouldn’t shy away from recommending this hotel to anyone.

Clean room, nice hotel.

The Corinthia Hotel is a classic five-star property — large, elegant, and full of old-world charm. Although some of the facilities are a bit dated and could use an update, it still offers excellent value for what you pay. The concierge team is truly outstanding: attentive, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. Overall, it remains a grand hotel with a very solid value proposition.

The Corinthia is a beautiful hotel in the middle of everything. Our room was very large and luxurious, the lobby area is beautiful and the staff was all very helpful and pleasant. There are wonderful dining options nearby, public buses and trolleys are steps away, and many attractions are an easy walk.

Absolutely excellent hotel in pretty much every respect. A word of advice if you are thinking of upgrading room though. About a week prior to arriving you may receive an email from the hotel via 'Oaky', who are a third-party upselling provider used by many hotels, offering various upgrades (room type, bottle of wine in room etc.). We were being offered an upgrade to a Junior Suite for between 100 and 130 Euros extra per night (the price varying day by day as we got closer to arrival), with an upgrade to a Deluxe Suite usually about 30 Euros more than the Junior price at the time. I resisted, hoping that prices would drop l lot nearer to check-in time, but they didn't. When we arrived I asked at the desk about upgrade options, and was immediately told that we could upgrade to a Deluxe Suite (so better than Junior Suite) from the room type we already had booked for only 80 Euros extra per night, less than half the 170 Euro price that the Oaky system was offering at that very same moment, so we snapped it up! This price was shown to me on a pre-printed grid of upgrade options, so it wasn't a price being made up on the spot and is thus presumably available to all if you ask (subject to availability of course). Ignore Oaky then! Absolutely fabulous room with separate sitting room and 2 bathrooms! Great breakfast included with loads of options - best we have had in a hotel. The Spa was great, as was the Executive Lounge (included with Suites) when you want a quick snack.

The property was really nice and staff was great! There are a couple of amenities like 24-hour airport shuttle that Expedia lists but the hotel does not offer as well as the pool which must be approved for use through the spa fee, but other than that it was very nice.

We were very disappointed to find our room extremely hot and the temperature was controlled. We complained and were told they couldn’t change it. The only window opened to the courtyard below which is a restaurant so it was very loud and our room always smelled of food. Not very restful. We also waited all day for our room to be ready despite being told it would be ready early and very quickly.

The staff was excellent at the desks and room service.
