Corinthia Hotel Budapest

Was staying here through a Viking river cruise I had book, so I didn’t have a say as to which hotel to stay at. This property is tired. The bed was one of the worst I have tried to sleep in. They had no outlets near the night stands, the AC didn’t work well at all.

Hotel itself is stunning. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a beautiful entrance adorned with flowers, a regal staircase, and architecture that reflects the property’s rich history. The public spaces are elegant creating a sense of grandeur. One thoughtful touch was the birthday cake and treats placed in our room. We appreciated that they were delivered while we were out, so it was a lovely surprise.Wish they were present upon initial arrival. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay, thanks to Anna, our waitress. She was warm, attentive, and consistently made sure we had everything we needed. There were a few areas where the experience fell short of expectations. Given that we were celebrating a significant milestone birthday, I had hoped a room upgrade might have been considered. Included in our stay we had access to the Executive Lounge and encountered some service inconsistencies. Left a bottle of Taittinger champagne in the lounge with a young lady in the morning so it would be properly chilled for our return that evening. Unfortunately, another attendant simply handed us the bottle back in its original box. After requesting an ice bucket, we waited approximately an hour and ultimately ended up serving the champagne ourselves. Additionally, there was a young child doing cartwheels and repeatedly touching and sampling multiple desserts. While families are certainly welcome, it diminished the atmosphere one might expect from an executive-level space. The spa was enjoyable, though we were surprised to learn we needed to return to our room to retrieve our bathrobes before using the facilities. Finally, while our room was comfortable, some of the furniture showed noticeable signs of wear and use… With a few improvements in service consistency and room upkeep, the experience could match the grandeur of the property itself. I hope to see some of these details refined in the future.

Me and my husband stayed at the hotel for my birthday in April. It was the 2nd time staying at the hotel, as we enjoyed it so much the 1st time. As soon as you step into the hotel lobby you have that ‘wow’ feeling. All the staff truly make your stay a memorable one. We had the executive lounge included in our stay, & it was exceptional the choice of canapés, desserts and snacks are amazing not forgetting the sparkling wine and drinks choice too. A special thank you to the lounge manager who looked after us. Krisztina from concierge looked after us really well, and it was a pleasure to see her on our 2nd visit. The food and beverage manager Katelin also made our stay extremely memorable. We are already planning to come again next April! Couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

It was our first time in Budapest and we stayed there to celebrate myself and another friends milestone birthdays. Although they upgraded one of the rooms (2 were booked) I couldn't see much difference. We got a coffee machine (that didn't work), patio doors that led to an open area overlooking the atruim dining area. No chairs or table there and you couldn't come back to your room if door was shut so bit of a security issue. What's the point of this added feature? The twin room was dimly lighted and dark. It didn't feel like an upgraded room. The room cleaning was not consistent and felt rushed. The turn down service was inconsistent. No spa was included in our room rate. Just to use the spa was 32€ for the day. This didn't include treatment costs. So we didn't use. We didn't think it was value for money. There was no discount either, even though we have a loyalty membership. I have seen many reviews on how special occasions have been acknowledged and guests given an excellent and preferential treatment. But for us, the hotel failed to acknowledge our milestone birthdays even though I wrote a couple of times, months in advance of the trip. The reception on our arrival said that there would be a surprise in our room. We waited and nothing materialised for the duration of our stay. A couple good points, the concierge was really helpful and he knew what to recommend us for sightseeing. Breakfast was lovely as was the omelette chef. Good variety of food for all. However, we felt our trip and experience of the stay at this hotel, was marred due to the points earlier raised.

I prefer a hotel with a large comfortable lobby. This hotel had this and more with its atriums. We had the spa package but did not take advantage of it. No fault of the hotel. If this is your thing, this place is for you. The room was comfortable. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing. Dinner was good with prices a bit higher as you might expect.
