Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Budapest

Such a beautiful hotel! Pure luxury to stay here. This stay was booked as pre cruise for our Viking cruise. Lovely room, huge bathroom. Great view of the city from our room and the roof top patio. Perfect location to walk to all the sites in Budapest.

It was a top notch experience from staff, room, dining, location, and more. Our corner king suite was lovely! Can’t go wrong here.

Our stay at the Matild Hotel in Budapest was truly exceptional and easily the highlight of our entire trip. Out of the four hotels we stayed at across three countries, this was by far the most luxurious and memorable. The building itself is absolutely stunning—truly an iconic landmark—especially at night when it’s beautifully illuminated. It really adds to the overall experience and sense of place. The rooms were incredible: spacious, elegant, and the best we had throughout our vacation. The bathrooms were equally impressive, with plenty of space and thoughtful touches like heated floors and the Japanese toilets that made a big difference. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, close to many major sites and surrounded by great shops and restaurants, making it very convenient to explore. The views of the Danube are fantastic and add even more to the overall experience. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and the breakfast buffet was hands down the best we’ve ever experienced, with a wide variety of high-quality options. I had read another review that said this hotel set a new standard for them, and I completely agree—it truly raised the bar for what we expect from a luxury stay and we travel often to many countries. While the hotel is located in a busier area and you may occasionally hear sirens or street noise, it didn’t impact our stay at all. Overall, this was an amazing experience, and we would absolutely return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious and centrally located stay in Budapest.

This is a luxury hotel within walking distance of St. Stephen’s Bascillica, the Imperial Palace, thermal baths, shopping, eateries, and tram and bus lines. An excellent buffet breakfast is included. Budapest is a very friendly, safe, and walkable city. Anyone over 65 can use the mass transportation for free.

As a long-time Platinum Elite Marriott Bonvoy member, I’ve stayed at hotels all over the world and cannot recall an experience that compares to the Matild Palace. The Staff. Everyone — and I do mean everyone — we encountered went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. It felt like their singular mission was to make our trip as memorable as possible. They over-delivered. The Property. We were immediately blown away by how beautiful the Matild is. Not overly large, but a perfect combination of old-world grandeur and a bright, playful personality that feels entirely its own. The Location. Absolutely perfect. Our room had Danube views, and the hotel sits in the heart of everything — Parliament (~1 mile), the Chain Bridge and Buda (~0.4 miles), and the Jewish Quarter (~0.5 miles) are all an easy walk. The Duchess. Don’t skip it. The cocktail bar at the Matild is worth a visit even if you’re not a guest. Beautifully designed, excellent drinks, and the perfect way to end an evening in Budapest. The Matild Palace has set a new standard for us. We will be back.
