5-Star Hotels in Pest, Hungary

Check-in time was flexible; we arrived early and were immediately given a room to rest, which was a huge plus for those arriving on early flights. Our standard room was on the 5th floor, a typical hotel room setup with good natural light and plenty of sunshine. The mattress was incredibly comfortable. In contrast, the bathroom had a much more distinctive design. A highlight was the small spa pool on the basement level, which had a unique vibe, wasn't crowded, and was very relaxing. It's complimentary for guests. While the hotel breakfast didn't have a huge selection, everything was relatively tasty, especially the Hungarian baked eggs, which were exactly to my liking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Recommended! PS: There was a wedding party on the day we checked in, and the music was quite loud at night, but fortunately, we couldn't hear it much from the 5th floor.

Extremely satisfied! Not only is the hotel beautiful, but the service is also excellent. For a stay in Budapest, this hotel offers incredible value for money. I'll definitely book here again next time I visit, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

The location is great, and the overall stay was good. However, there are three issues I need to point out: First, we asked the front desk for ice, and after 20 minutes, it still hadn't arrived. We called again, and the front desk agent was very polite, asking us to wait a moment, but the ice still never came. Second, the credit card deposit for check-out was supposed to be refunded in a few days, but it's been a week now and it still hasn't been returned. I've emailed the hotel and received no reply, so I have no idea when I'll get it back (this is the slowest refund among all the hotels we stayed at during our two-week Europe trip). Third, the deluxe room I booked, according to the pictures and videos, was supposed to have a bathtub. In reality, my room didn't have one (I carefully reread the room description and found it stated ”shower or bathtub”). The room size was listed as 28-30 square meters, but I'd say it was more like 24-26 square meters; opening two 29-inch suitcases in the hallway made it feel quite cramped.

The room decor is relatively new, and the space is decent. Breakfast was quite varied, with slight changes over the two days. The service was standard. The only thing I was unhappy with was that the sink drain was a bit clogged; everything else was fine.

We stayed at the Hilton Budapest in early July. We had booked a King Danube River Suite / Corner Suite (70 m²) for two nights, but at check-in, we were informed that the hotel had upgraded us to the Presidential Suite with Danube River View (160 m²)! This is the only room of its kind in the entire hotel! The Presidential Suite was absolutely incredible! The room also had a welcome gift from the hotel: a bottle of red wine and two handmade chocolates. We have often favored Hilton hotels for over 25 years, but upgrades have been rare. Hilton Budapest is quite large (322 rooms) and boasts a prime central location on the Buda side of Budapest, offering stunning views of the Danube River and other landmarks on the Pest side of the city. The hotel is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly. The Executive Club Lounge offers a good selection of alcoholic beverages, along with a wide assortment of food and drinks. The food selection can vary, unfortunately, from excellent to quite lackluster. The service, however, is consistently top-notch. In summary: The hotel is centrally located, close to all major attractions. It offers excellent service and cleanliness, as well as fantastic bedding and mesmerizing views of the Danube and Parliament from the window! There are many great places to walk around the hotel, and you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. Our immense gratitude goes to the hotel management for the superb service, attention to detail, and the organization of flawless operations, cleanliness, and comfort. It's clear that the management genuinely cares about their guests and puts their heart into their work! Special thanks to the General Manager, Hajnalka Hegedüs, for her efforts and passion, which allow guests to enjoy such impeccable luxury service! This is a hotel we'd love to return to, where you always feel like a valued guest. Hilton Budapest definitely deserves all five stars it has; we can undoubtedly recommend it for a stay and for visiting the city of Budapest! Suggestion: Add background music to the Executive Lounge.

We had an amazing stay at The Corinthia. We received a warm welcome on arrival and a room upgrade as we were staying for a week. It was my birthday and Christmas during our trip and the hotel team left treats in our room for both occasions. All the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The bar area was a great place to relax after a day of exploring. Aspects of our room were a little tired and if I had paid for this room type I may have been slightly disappointed. It's easy to get around in Budapest as the public transport is brilliant, reliable and regular. There is a tram stop outside the hotel with the nearest metro station only a short walk away.

I enjoyed their Door to door cocktail as well.

On the day of my check-in, when I mentioned my desire for a Chain Bridge view room, the front desk staff at Hotel Clark Budapest - Adults Only kindly upgraded me to the last available one for free. The panoramic view of the Lion Bridge at sunset from the floor-to-ceiling window was absolutely stunning. Our local tour guide also commented on the hotel's excellent location; you can cross the street directly from the hotel's entrance to get onto the Lion Bridge, and it's also very close to Castle Hill. For breakfast, in addition to fruits, cold cuts, and bread, items like coffee, eggs, and waffles are made fresh from the menu. The room was equipped with an electric kettle, and complimentary items included a bottle of the hotel's own brand wine, a bottle of mineral water, and a bottle of sparkling water. The 'good night' chocolate on the bed was a nice touch too. The only minor drawback was the slightly small room size. If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose Hotel Clark Budapest - Adults Only!

The front desk staff were quite incompetent. Check-in took forever, and then my friend's room key didn't work. Another friend found a welcome card for someone else on their table upon entering their room. My room was a corner room, which they didn't even ask about, but they were very pushy about getting us to upgrade. We upgraded, and the service was still terrible. Then, at check-out, we thought it would be quick, but a young woman struggled for ages before calling over her colleague. We thought there might be an extra charge, but then she somehow pulled out someone else's room cards, claiming they didn't match ours. Couldn't she just ask us what our room number was? We gave her two room cards, and she somehow ended up with three! We were in a hurry to catch a flight and told them so, but she still fumbled around for ages. Plus, the kettle in the room was broken, and when we asked for a replacement, that one was also broken... It was an ordeal all afternoon; we couldn't even take an afternoon nap. I can only say the hotel is all show and no substance; the interior is rotten. Also, it seems like they sprayed a lot of disinfectant in the room when cleaning, and the windows don't open for ventilation...

First off, the housekeeping staff told me directly that over half the rooms have twin beds, so they could only give us twin beds. Then they called someone to combine them, and all the sheets and pillowcases were just thrown on the floor. Sure enough, the next day I had bug bites everywhere my skin touched the bed. When I complained downstairs, they said the only way to switch rooms was to upgrade, which would cost an extra 100 euros per day. The bread section at breakfast was swarming with flies. After eating, I definitely had diarrhea. My girlfriend got locked in the bathroom because the shower door got stuck. The repair person just came and removed the plastic strip from the bottom, and then the next day, water leaked everywhere when we showered. Housekeeping only comes to make the beds. They don't refill shower gel when it runs out, and they don't provide new slippers if yours get wet at the pool. If you call downstairs for slippers, you have to wait 20 minutes. On a positive note, the lady at the -1 floor swimming pool was very nice.
