Corinthia Hotel Budapest

Beautiful hotel, great rooms and good breakfast. A lovely super clean spa in the ground floor. Service in the lobby bar was slow and a bit rude otherwise a great place to stay for a Budapest weekend.

We stayed at the Corinthia Hotel Budapest from Christmas Eve for a few days over the festive period, and it was nothing short of magical. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and felt especially enchanting at Christmas - elegant, warm, and wonderfully festive without feeling overwhelming. We did experience a slight issue with our initial room, however Enikő at the front desk went completely above and beyond to resolve this. She was truly outstanding - moving us to another room and ensuring it was spotless, comfortable, and perfect before offering it to us. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference, and she is a real credit to the hotel. The spa was a highlight of our stay and we visited every day. Having a lift directly from our floor down into the spa was incredibly convenient. The facilities were excellent: two saunas, a steam room, two jacuzzis, and a beautiful pool. It was calm, peaceful, and never crowded, the perfect place to unwind during a winter city break. The hotel’s location is ideal. It’s a short and pleasant walk into the centre of Budapest, with easy access to the Christmas markets, Parliament building, ruin bars, and many other attractions. The famous New York Café is on the same street, which was a lovely bonus. We walked everywhere and didn’t need public transport, though trams and buses stop right outside the hotel if needed. We didn’t opt for breakfast at the hotel, instead discovering several quiet, charming cafés just a short walk away, which added to the relaxed feel of the trip. Our room was clean, with extremely comfortable beds, no noise or interruptions, and we slept incredibly well throughout our stay. The minibar was well stocked and everything felt thoughtful and high quality. We also enjoyed Christmas dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was tasteful, beautifully presented, and excellent value for money. The staff were extremely attentive and made the evening feel special without being overly formal. In the evenings, we enjoyed cocktails at the bar, the waiters and barmen were fantastic, friendly, and the drinks were absolutely delicious. Budapest itself felt calm, peaceful, and unhurried over Christmas. Everyone we encountered was polite and welcoming, which added to the overall sense of relaxation and charm. All of the staff at the Corinthia were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere throughout our stay was warm, elegant, and festive. It was the perfect Christmas getaway, and we genuinely cannot wait to return.

A very poor experience. The worst 5 star I’ve ever stayed in after 42 years of frequent travelling around the world. The room was appalling - dirty, ripped stained sheets, heating not changeable and no external source of ventilation as windows to internal courtyard. Drapes partly off the runners and bright light filling the room. The bed was so soft it was impossible to get comfortable so I spent the night on the 2 seater sofa. The filth and high levels of dust triggered an asthma attack which happens to me very very rarely and was very frightening. Sadly complaints resolution handling was poor: did not resolve the issue and believed they were. They did not understand the issue to my being unable to stay and find comfort were the aged, soft and dirty mattresses, after being moved from the first room. Poor communication across the staff failed to resolve it and I felt I was being pressured to stay - the duty manager offered me complimentary tickets to NYE gala dinner for myself and partner - I was a solo traveller - clearly failed to even find out who was resident in the room. This hotel should not be called a 5 star until it is refurbished and their marketing should be open and honest. The building is spectacular, the location excellent but everything is tired and tatty including the presentation and cohesion of the team. I stayed in Christmas Day and it was the worse Christmas Day in 62 years - for personal reasons I fingers this day challenging and this really left me in a state of distress. I was fortunate to relocate to an incredible hotel at a similar cost and the staff, rooms, communal areas were alive. The beds were incredible and the breakfast another level.

I have had the most magical five nights in Corinthia Budapest and everything was perfect. My room, overlooking the grand boulevard was beautiful, the spa was like 'out of a movie', the breakfast was so rich and nicely presented that it was difficult to select...But above all, the personnel's special touch made my stay extraordinary. I do not take the elevator and I usually walk the stairs due to claustrophobia. I did not tell the personnel when I was leaving the room on the day of my departure, but the doorman was right by my door, ready to help with my bags. I could not believe this attentive service. I cannot wait to return to this hotel. Thank you Corinthia for everything! You made my stay 5* plus!
