Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Budapest

We stayed for three nights at Matild Palace in Budapest and could not have been more impressed. This is a truly beautiful hotel, combining all the conveniences and comforts of a modern luxury hotel with the character and elegance of a magnificent historic building. The restoration has been completed with exceptional taste and attention to detail. The location is ideal, within easy walking distance of many of Budapest’s historic attractions, the Danube and a multitude of excellent dining options. A highlight of our stay was dinner at Spago Restaurant. The food selection was extensive and the quality first class. The wine list complemented the menu perfectly, and the restaurant staff were knowledgeable, helpful and attentive throughout the evening. A special mention must go to Panne, who looked after us during dinner. She was absolutely wonderful — warm, professional and attentive — and made an already excellent dining experience even more memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at Matild Palace. We will certainly return to Budapest in the future, and when we do, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else. An outstanding hotel and an easy 5 stars from us. Highly recommended.

My stay at Matild Palace was absolutely impeccable. From the moment I checked in, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. I was upgraded to a larger room, which was beautiful, spacious, and exceptionally clean. The bed deserves a special mention, it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept in. After a long flight from the U.S., I usually wake up several times during the night because of the time difference, but this time I slept incredibly well from start to finish. The location is also perfect for exploring Budapest, and the breakfast buffet is a must. It had an excellent selection and was a wonderful way to start the day. A special thank you to the entire staff for their attentiveness and genuine hospitality. Every person I encountered made me feel welcomed and well taken care of, and that level of service really made the stay special. Overall, Matild Palace exceeded my expectations. The beautiful property, exceptional service, incredible comfort, and perfect location made my stay truly memorable. I would absolutely stay here again.

Archita and Nikol L made our stay even more wonderful and memorable! Thank you for the excellent service you two provided…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️service!

We recently stayed at the Matild Palace in Budapest, and it is truly one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever experienced. The property itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets it apart is its exceptional staff, whose warmth and professionalism made our stay unforgettable. Before our arrival, I had the pleasure of corresponding with Esra, who graciously arranged a room upgrade and breakfast for us. As longtime Marriott Titanium/Platinum members who have spent hundreds of nights at Marriott properties around the world, this thoughtful gesture was greatly appreciated. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Lily, who checked us into two fabulous rooms with spectacular views. Concierge Daniel was outstanding, helping us navigate the city and arranging dinner at a wonderful local restaurant. He also provided excellent recommendations and directions for visiting the Hungarian Parliament, the Shoes on the Danube Memorial, St. Stephen's Basilica, and the Dohány Street Synagogue. When we returned to the hotel, Daniel introduced us to Victoria, who escorted us to The Duchess rooftop bar. This is an absolute must visit—the panoramic views of Budapest are simply spectacular! The following day, Istvan was incredibly helpful in planning an itinerary which included a visit to Buda Castle and a walk across the iconic Chain Bridge. That evening, we had a delicious dinner at Cova, the hotel's beautifully renovated restaurant. We were also fortunate to enjoy breakfast there the next morning, which was equally excellent. In summary, Matild Palace exceeded every expectation. It is a true gem, not only in Budapest, but among the finest hotels we have stayed in anywhere. The combination of a magnificent property and genuinely world class service makes this a hotel we recommend without hesitation. Our sincere thanks to Esra, Lily, Daniel, Victoria, Istvan, and the entire team for making our stay so memorable! We cannot wait to return.

We went to Budapest because our trip to Thailand and the Maldives was cancelled due to the unfortunate war in the Middle East. Obviously we didn’t have the climate of southwest Asia, but we found the warmth in the kindness of the staff at the Matild Palace. The hotel is elegant and comfortable at the same time. The breakfast buffet was superb. Everything was varied and tasty. We had reserved a room with a balcony and when we arrived there was a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and cake for my birthday. The bathroom was an experience in itself. It is completely decorated in art nouveau blue, gold and turquoise mosaics. The room was clean and quiet. The spa is very relaxing (sauna, steam room, etc). They supply towels, drinks and snacks. You couldn’t find a better location as it’s in the heart of the city. Practically everything is in walking distance or a short trip on very practical public transport. I would go back in a heartbeat. As they say locally, “ Nagyon szépen köszönöm!”
